Tier List — Overall Effectiveness
Source: Theory | Confidence: Speculative
Methodology
This tier list evaluates demons on overall effectiveness — how much a demon contributes to winning (avoiding 15 CP) across a variety of board states.
Scoring Axes
- Ability Impact (primary) — How much does this demon's kit warp the game?
- Exhaust/Ready Interaction — Demons that bypass the exhaust bottleneck get far more throughput.
- CP Liability — High-CP demons are riskier; when they die, you eat more CP toward your own loss.
- Fusion Value — Fusion bonus stats (fHP/fPWR/fCP) mean a demon is never dead weight as material.
- Flexibility — Speed, range, and situational independence.
S Tier
Game-warping. Fundamentally changes what's possible. You build strategies around these demons.

Notes
- This tier list assumes no personal deck construction (full 120-card shared pool).
- Fusion material value is not fully captured by tiers — a C-tier demon with great fusion stats may be more desirable than an A-tier demon with poor fusion stats.
- Speed matters more than it appears. Fast demons choosing main phase order is a compounding advantage. Two otherwise-equal demons are separated by a tier if one is Fast and the other is Slow.
- All placements are speculative and subject to change with playtesting data.
