Arknights is a tactical role-playing tower defense game in which you play as a prominent member of Rhodes island. You are now responsible for the fight against lethal infection. So, you assemble a team of highly trained operators and assign them to various missions and operations to protect the city and lives of the people in it.
There is a pool of operators that you can choose from. These operators are classified into various classes and have their own duties in the team. So, to help you build the best team possible, we have compiled a tier list of operators from best to worst for each class.
Arknights Tier List
The operators are categorized into the in-game class on the basis of their abilities and influence in the game. So, choose the best hero from the class you like and create the best Meta possible.
Guard Tier List
As their name suggests, the guards are the defensive operators in the game. They are a melee-based operator who can take up great damage. But they are not the first line of defense in the game, and also, they are not good operators to indulge in first-line defense.
With good health and good attack, they are great defensive assets in your team as they have a good synergy with the other class.

Defender Tier List
They are considered the tank unit of the game that just soaks in all the opponent’s attacks to help the team. They are usually the first line of defense. These heroes are very sustainable heroes in the game as they are very good damage dealers.
But they have an average health pool, so they are great for blocking attacks. But if you combine the healers and defenders, then you can have an amazing game.
