Limbus Company Tier List

Roles

We compare characters within their role - so damage dealers are compared to other damage dealers and the ratings are adjusted based on their performance within the role.

• Damage Dealer: Rating is heavily influenced based on the ID's damage and utility to both deal damage and amplify the damage of others, including their own.
• Status Specialist: Rating is heavily influenced based on the ID's ability to stack the count and potency of every status or brings something unique to that status to make it overall effective and stronger.
• Support: Rating is heavily influenced based on the ID's ability to give buffs to allies, debuffs to enemies, and overall utility to help defeat enemies quicker.
• Tank: Rating is heavily influenced based on the ID's ability to take damage and their benefits to taking damage.

Generic Tier List (Beginner)

• IDs will be rated independently, with minimal team synergy in mind. This also includes an ID’s flexibility and how it can perform independently, as well as whether or not an Identity’s teammates are required or are necessary to have to use the ID.
• The support passives of IDs will not be taken into account when rating IDs.
• Unique Story buffs are not taken into account.
• The availability of an ID will also majorly affect it’s ranking in this Tier List, especially if an ID relies on something that is exclusive to either Walpurgisnacht or Collab Event.
• All IDs on this Tier List will be rated at Uptie 3 (Uptie 3 Pages are unavailable for individual IDs).

Generic Tier List (Endgame)

• IDs will be rated using optimal team composition in mind.
• The support passives of IDs will be taken into account through their reviews, not the Tier List.
• The Utility an ID brings to a team will be taken into account.
• All IDs on this Tier List will be rated at Uptie 4

Meta Lines

Meta Lines categorize each section of the tier list into a power bracket. Here are the four brackets:

• Best in Role Characters (SS & S+) - IDs in this bracket are the best of the best. They can dish out outrageous damage, enable a ton of synergy with other IDs, and provide massive buffs or debuffs with their kits. They excel in any form of content that this game has to offer.
• Meta Characters (S & A) - Characters in this bracket perform extremely well in content, but compared to the tier above them, they don't perform as well or more work is required for them to operate. They'll still be able to consistently clear all forms of content though.
• Niche Characters (B) - Characters in this bracket have the really short end of the stick, either extremely reliant on the team they're put in, requires a bunch of effort to get working, or just overall does not perform as good as the characters in the higher tiers.
• Bad Characters (C & D) - Characters in this bracket are just not good. Even in their best conditions they have absolutely nothing that makes them even remotely useful to the team. You'd actively be crippling yourself by using them.

Ratings

Generic Tier List (Beginner)

• SS - Absolute best in their respective category. Offers more than Identities in tiers below or an unique / core part of the kit makes them stand out.
• S+ - Extremely exceptional IDs with really solid kits, although held back by their versatility or lack of utility that SS IDs have.
• S - Viable IDs that perform well and still have a place in the meta, but require a bit more work to truly shine.
• A - Still good and viable, although has a good number of issues or their drawbacks hold them down.
• B - Only viable in certain scenarios. These IDs has certain niches that are not good and require more investment to make them work.
• C - Average characters that have big flaws and struggle very hard to even play their own role.
• D - Detrimental, passive providers only or completely overshadowed by other IDs. Avoid at all costs.
