Lower rarity Operators have cheaper development costs and so can be more efficient to develop for early game even though the higher rarity operators have higher full development potential. Some higher rarity operators (especially 5 stars) are not worth their E2 or mastery development costs for most players because they become obsolete when better 6 Stars are obtained. Instead, new Players looking for early game development priority help should use the instead. New Players should NOT use this list for operator development priority for early-mid gameplay.Evaluation and ranking is based on the strength/potential of the Operator to have an overall meaningful impact on the game, across all the different modes and content, and is based on data, empirical evidence, and opinions. This tier list compares units at their full possible development with end-game content in mind.No Tier List can perfectly compare all Operators in all situations: Tier Lists are not a substitute for game knowledge! That being said, there are bad Operators and exceptional Operators, and some Operators are better than others and will make it easier for players to succeed. Tier lists for Arknights are difficult to create, as many Operators have very specific situations in which they excel to such a degree that they would be an amazing pick for a certain map but worthless in another.
