What is the NTE character tier list? Who is the strongest character?

A character tier list is best treated as a snapshot of one environment, not as a timeless ranking that overrides account context. For current players, the more useful question is not only who is "strongest," but which characters keep value across different team shells, patch goals, and roster states.

A safer way to read a tier list is:

1. Separate raw ceiling from practical value: a character can be powerful on paper and still be awkward for your current roster

2. Give extra weight to units with flexible team fit, stable utility, or low setup cost if your account is still growing

3. Expect rankings to move with patch conditions, newly discovered synergies, and optimization changes rather than staying frozen forever

So this page now focuses on how to interpret strength rankings instead of locking players into an early-version absolute order.
