Arknights divides all Operators into eight classes: Medic, Sniper, Vanguard, Guard, Specialist, Caster, Defender, and Supporter. Each class performs unique roles on the battlefield.

This article ranks all Operators under their respective classes into SS, S, A, and B tiers. Like other titles’ tier lists, the SS tier includes the most robust unit in the current meta, and B offers the weakest ones. Here is what each tier means:

SS-tier: SS-tier Operators are outstanding in every game mode. They tend to dominate the battle from the start and make your in-game journey a child’s play. With these in your roster, you’ll own every enemy the game throws at you.

S-tier: The S-tier characters are less potent than SS but overpower A and B-tier Operators. You can make their combat ability equivalent to that of SS tier ones by upgrading them.

A-tier: The A-tier Arknights Operators are ordinary fighters who are helpful only in certain situations, even going toe-to-toe with SS-tier ones under favorable conditions. You must upgrade them at every opportunity. However, they need more enhancement materials to become more robust.

B-tier: These Operators can be helpful for beginners on their journey to understand the meta better and get accustomed to the gameplay. Other than this, they don’t provide any utility in battles.

Note that the tier list changes with every update the title gets from Hypergryph. It is because the developers introduce new content, Operators, and adjust the existing ones in each update. The updates shift meta’s power and modify the ranks of existing ones, ultimately changing the tier list.

That said, here is the complete Arknights Operators tier list under their respective classes for February 2024.
