Our Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad tier list helps take the guesswork out of your time with the latest gacha RPG. We’ll round up the best characters in each class, be it attacker, defender, or specialist, and rank them in order of best to worst. That way you can just crack on with the actual fun part: playing the game.

To give you an idea of how we determined who the Tom Clancy Elite Squad best characters were, we assessed their battle capabilities in a number of key areas that related to their roles. So, offensive capabilities for attackers, defensive for defenders, and support for specialists. We’ve also only selected five and four star heroes initially, as these are the most powerful characters in the game right now. If that changes, we’ll expand.

We hope our Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad tier list helps you get started with Ubisoft’s latest mobile hit. If you’re looking for something similar to play, check out our best mobile RPGs and best mobile strategy games lists, which include a wide variety of some of the best mobile games around.
