The recently released Counter Side is one of the more popular mobile strategy games out right now, developed by the talented team of STUDIOBSIDE.
In this RPG, you assemble a team of characters (Counters) with different abilities and roles to take on challenging missions and PvP battles.
These Counters are the real stars of the show, and all of them have different roles, abilities, and use cases. Keeping up with these new characters is a huge draw for the game.
And of course, with new characters being added all the time, it can be tough to keep track of who reigns supreme.
That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive CounterSide tier list to rank all characters from best to worst, so you know exactly who’s crushing it and who needs a buff.

How Do We Define Our Tiers?
Counters vary in skill and abilities depending on the team composition, how much you invest in them, and how comfortable you are with relying on them. However, there is an objective way to break them down into a tier list.
Here’s how our tier list works:
- S-Tier: This is the best of the lot. If you have any of these characters on hand, they should be on your main team without question. They are great for any loadout and are highly adaptable.
- A+ Tier: The second-best characters for each role. They are sublime in every situation but just lack some abilities that the S-tier characters have.
- A-Tier: These characters are very strong and useful in most content. They have high stats and useful skills, and synergize well with many team compositions. The only thing holding them back is that they might not work well for each situation or that a minor flaw brings them down.
- B-Tier: Not the strongest of characters, but still highly useful in certain situations. They may be slightly outdated, but they can still get the job done, especially if you invest in them.
- C-Tier: This consists of Counters that are fairly common and easy to obtain. Unfortunately, they lack the skills to compete with higher-tier characters. Still, they’re useful early on in certain team compositions, but you’ll want to replace them when possible.
