How the tiers are decided

This is not a win rate. We score what each kit offers on paper, so a legend who is hard to play, or strong in ways a squad score does not capture, can sit lower here than they do in your games.

  1. Utility. Each legend's average score across every three-legend squad they can join, using the same scoring as the Squad Builder: class variety, the roles covered, abilities that combine, and the gaps a squad is left with. The roster is then scaled from 0 to 100.
  2. Momentum. Each buff or nerf in Respawn's patch notes is worth 4 points, up or down. The effect halves every six weeks, the total is limited to 8 points either way, and the roster is then scaled from 0 to 100.
  3. Legend Power Index. Utility counts for 65% of a legend's LPI and momentum for 35%.
  4. Tiers. Each LPI is compared with the roster's average, in standard deviations: S is at least 1.25 above it, A at least 0.25 above, B down to 0.5 below, C down to 1.25 below, and D is anything lower. There is no F, because a score of what a kit contributes cannot show that a legend is bad.

The list is recalculated every week. Patch notes are reviewed through November 6, 2026.
