Shonen Smash Tier List

There are just shy of a dozen characters available in Shonen Smash at launch, each with their own skills, combos, strengths, and weaknesses. We’ve put together a tier list for all of the current Shonen Smash characters based on their current ability.

Our characters in the S Tier are the strongest, with the potential to do devastating one or two-shot combos. Characters in the A Tier are strong enough that once mastered, they can stand on near-even footing with the S Tier characters. Those in the B Tier have some strengths or combos that are powerful, but overall fall short compared to the rest. Finally, the characters we’ve placed in the C Tier are a bit under tuned at the moment and shouldn’t be used until they receive a balancing update. Here is our Shonen Smash Tier List for all characters:

S Tier

  • Brawler
  • Kaz
  • Luffy
  • Mage

A Tier

  • Goku
  • Naruto
  • Swordsman

B Tier

  • Flamecharmer
  • Ichigo

C Tier

  • Nanya
  • Yu Narukami
