Terrible Tornado and Atomic Samurai stand atop the One Punch Man World tier list for January 2025

One Punch Man World characters come in three distinct rarities: Rare (R), SR (Super Rare), and SSR (Super Super Rare). You build a squad of four, equip them with Impression Arms for various buffs, and deploy them on the battlefield. While you can control one of them while fighting, the AI controls the remaining three. However, you can use link skills and activate their Impression Arms.

The title divides all characters into four types: Assault-Blue, Morale-Red, Overpower-Purple, and Technique-Green. All enemies are weak against one of the four, and you can deal 40% more damage using the strongest-type character.

With that in mind, the complete One Punch Man World tier list for January 2025 is below. It ranks all characters into SS, S, A, and B tiers. Like other gachas’ tier lists, SS includes the most robust units. On the contrary, the B-tier offers the comparatively weaker ones in the current meta.
