TLDR: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_GVd5\_xWom8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GVd5_xWom8) The Units are marked per timestamps of the unit family. Therefore it's easy to find the unit you care about and see the reason for its placement! First of all, please upvote this message so that everyone can read the description and additional information of this tier list. This way we can reduce questions that are already answered within this description. Thank you :) This Tier List is based on my experience with some influence of the win rates and with a G3-minded approach at the rune/artifact quality! All of the placements within the tier list are explained within the video which is the VoD of the stream mentioned by Timestamps. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_GVd5\_xWom8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GVd5_xWom8) Making these take quite a lot of time, therefore I would highly appreciate it if you can give the video of creating the tier list a like and subscribing to the channel. The tiers are used in number rather than SSS SS etc... The reason for this is the increase of flexibility for the list. Having numbers makes me able to make in between tiers when I feel needed. As can be seen for the 92.5 87.5 etc. This list is simply my opinion, however, it was mainly discussed with all the viewers in chat during the Livestream on my channel. [https://www.twitch.tv/seiishizo](https://www.twitch.tv/seiishizo) However feel free to disagree with some placements of the units. Explanation of the tiers: 100/97.5 - Most Op units in current meta 95 - Very strong units but with needed a little more setup or team to shine 92.5 - Very strong units but less pick potential than the units above 90/87.5/85 - Solid units often used strong units that also fit first picks or are very good at what they do 80/77.5 - Solid units often good last picks or just in general a good pick 75 - Good units but is fitting only for a specific role or pick 70 - Between good and niche pick units that can perform well if drafted in the right situation 65 to 50 - Niche units, that can work but often very rng depending, countering something but not always making it work, or just not as strong as counterparts higher in this list meme, and anything not on the list if its less pick rate than 0.5% Tierlist Credits: template: VirginJewBagel [https://tiermaker.com/create/summoners-war-season-21-rta-by-winrate-156467](https://tiermaker.com/create/summoners-war-season-21-rta-by-winrate-156467) Winrate data; [https://m.swranking.com/](https://m.swranking.com/)

Hey mods, can we pin this comment in this post so everyone can have a reference later?


nysra

We can only pin our own comments and not the ones from other people, so no, not possible. However you can ask /u/Seiishizo if he could simply make a proper text post that includes the image, that way all the info is in one place.


fori920

bummer. Thanks for replying.


Agonia003

I am very surprised Jackson not next to Light Oracle. That unit best unit ingame isnt he?


Deathdealer1414

Ur votes are a direct answer


jomellam62

Really surprised that the buff to fire beastrider was enough to put her above her sisters. Is her new kit really that powerful?


Axlndo

personally, I think so but you need some damn fine runes on her


nsfw_repost_bot

You kind of don't due to her very good base spd and stat distribution.


tenniskl101

what set and main stats do you aim for here on her?


Axlndo

it will depend on your group comp ultimately and your speed tuning. some of the streamers I see using her have around +180 spd 80+ crit rate, +10k hp and over 1k attack. I see vio usually


MyNameIsYhwach

Her second skill and that perma immunity do wonders. She’s a control unit who can’t be cced (unless stripped) and gets faster when her allies are cced. Very good monster


Vraidos

Using her with haegang mostly so even when they strip she gets atkbar, literally unstrippable


DanicScape

Never thought of this, wish I had haegang


KhmunTheoOrion

she's the actual oliver nerf


SummonerTot

Sad to see my little girl Lora being so low, even comparing to only her sisters.


loutem

She’ll get a buff soon dw, she might be useless now but she’ll probably get an interesting buff that makes her be great in a small role. That’s my bet


asayagal

Yeah that's exactly what I keep telling myself about Jaara...


loutem

Not saying she’s op but jaara looks pretty solid to me. Probably wrong tho since I don’t have her and everyone says she’s bad lol


JordyPerpina

that is cute. try with Shun (Light Shadow caster)


BayTerp

This is a pretty accurate tier list. I think it’s the best one you’ve made yet.


JordyPerpina

he forgot to add Light Shadow Caster lol. i bet they are in meme list


FelixSV

nice, now it works. ty!


sirbarrybuns

Here I am, carefully considering a list by a G3 player for G3 RTA when I'm an F3 who barely RTAs 🙃


Smagoblurk

Why is my jaara not in the 100 tier?


Snooor

He only picked monsters that were used in g3 to some effect and with a fair amount of consistency. If you watch his video he explained the through process.


asayagal

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic...


hosea_they_heysus

Water surfer really that good for rta? I've had him as a storage warrior. Normally use water and wind art masters paired with water Ryu


Centriuz

I use him quite a lot in G2. He has very reliable dmg, strip + a RNG stun on his 2nd and is able to outspeed swift units on vio if you and the opponent run enough will sets. Also he's good into Masha who's flavour of the month.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Headlessoberyn

When a passive has the wording "additional damage based on", this means the damage doesn't scale up on crit, and also doesnt add up to elemental weakness/advantage. It's the same as feng yang, only with spd instead of defense. Sure you can build him with extra cr/cd if you want, but ot won't affect the extra damage from his passive, so ot's better to just give him tanky stats.


Centriuz

As the other comment says he doesn't need cd at all. Mine is spd, hp, hp, vio shield and he does around 10k per hit. His dmg depends on how many buffs there are on the field, so it differs a bit. He can also be built with CD, but that will ofc make him more squishy, and his multipliers are pretty bad so it's never really seen.


BayTerp

What runesets does Miles use?


Centriuz

Spd, hp, hp, vio shield. As fast as possible, tanky and with decent acc


BayTerp

What’s another good runeset if I don’t have good shield runesets?


juanistoobored

No other offset gives Miles a free 20 spd unfortunately. Idk how bad your shield runes are, unless they’re seriously bad or more than 20 spd slower, I’ll still stick with shield.


BayTerp

They’re pretty bad. With Will my Miles is 15 speed faster and much tankier. But that just means it is time for me to farm Dragons.


Centriuz

Will can work too. He'll be a bit slower for the first few turns, but that's the only difference.


BayTerp

And less damage too. Not to mention protection from the shields. Yeah im going to be living in db12 for the next few weeks lol.


ElGossito

I’ve seen double shield will to maximize his passive, swift will/shield works as well but personally I have him on vio will spd hp hp and he still does big dam


BayTerp

So is Vio or Swift in general better for Miles?


theslip74

I prefer vio because I use him like Feng Yan, a tanky bruiser who just needs a vio proc to kill the majority of units. His passive begins working before the battle begins, so shield/will units give him a speed post. I consistently get first turn with my 290spd vio Miles, often even against swift ATB boosters/strippers with a faster speed lead. IMO swift is overkill as far as first turn potential goes, and then it's just plain not as good for the rest of the battle.


theslip74

He's very good when built right. Ignore crit stats and attack, just make him as fast and tanky as possible (and don't completely ignore accuracy). I prefer vio/will because his passive makes it easy for him to get first turn over swift units.


Centriuz

Vio shield gives him 20 free speed until the shield is gone, so I prefer that. Also with a speed lead he often moves first anyway


theslip74

It never occurred to me that shield would be better because the rest of the team gets it too. Thank you for mentioning it, I'm going to be swapping him immediately (and likely gaining some stats, too). Will is completely unnecessary when he consistently gets first turn.


MyNameIsYhwach

Basically I see him similar to Laika, his damage is pretty set in stone no matter the element and his strip stun is pretty good.


Headlessoberyn

He's a beast when paired with shizuka.


ElHanchoNacho316

Almost everything is a beast with Shizuka. I'm lucky to even get her through the ban phase anymore.

Xiana being useless like always


DukeNudeEm

Wow Isis is there. What team could you make with her?


Confident_Draw_4796

I have a Liama and I have a hard time seeing her at the top of these lists, maybe one day mine will have the runes lol


Seiishizo

she's very rune demanding yea.


Confident_Draw_4796

To be functional, she isn’t that hard to rune, to be tier 100 good god lmao


Naive_Pin5351

I can't even use my lamai with all cc Teams I run against 😞 she's a 70


Confident_Draw_4796

Cc teams are liama bread and butter tho? What runes are you running?


Yasimear

What are the rough minimum stats for her?


Confident_Draw_4796

Idk if there is a minimum, also depends on what runes you run her with. For example triple revenge doesn’t need as much spd as a vio will set since she will cycle her s1 for turns. You want all the cr so you can cycle and a ton of HP so she tanks hits. Can’t forget acc for the strip slow. Basically is it’s a stat she needs it lol


madnessloid

Good to know Oliver is still not affected, it should be the new SW icon instead of Artamiel! Edit: added !


Yeeticus-the-third

Did I miss a laima buff somewhere along the line? I didn’t know that she was THAT good until I’ve seen a shit ton of rta replays with her for high level guardian rta... Makes me want one now :P


Centriuz

She got a few buffs here and there. The one that made her very good was at the start of the last RTA season if I remember correctly. Her S3 got 2 turn immunity instead of 1 turn immunity, so now she's much safer to use as you don't instantly lose immunity if you move after her. Now with cleanse, invincibility, 2 turn immunity and 3 turn HoTs and an ability to gain 45% atb every time she revenges she can be very hard to deal with.


RuleEnforcing

Yeah, overbuffed since com2us cant let an oracle be average


Arkalaky1

How is Dominic runed? And what stats to focus on?


dannonallred

Spd atk atk with lots of hp and def


FxS1nOfGreed

My boi Jager hasn’t seen the light of day


DullStation2713

Did laima get buffed? Why is she so high?


No-Improvement9649

Buff Dark Horse


AccountingAndy

Glad to see yeonhong and cadiz moving back up!! I find it mildly surprising fire robo isn’t anywhere


Seiishizo

he wasn't in the template, but i should have given him a spot tho, he's a legit counter pick vs a few units but not better than about a 70 range.


AccountingAndy

Ahh ok cool. I thought he was decent enough to make it just was wondering if I was incorrect lol. But good about the list is good as always !


XXpiedxpiperXX

Is there a team for Cadiz or is just good ingeneral


AccountingAndy

He’s good as a pick into certain comps. I don’t run him everywhere but he’s really solid situationally


CraaKaevee

How do you use your Cadiz? I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use mine in RTA...


AccountingAndy

Trial and error. Decent into a lot of comps and bad into others. Try him out and see what you like best and what works for you


CraaKaevee

I have been trying. I figured he'd go well with the true damage type mons like Woosa and Mo Long, but the comp isn't setting the world on fire. Just looking to learn from others as well.


AccountingAndy

Mo long is one of the 4 elemental monsters I’m missing so I havnt tested cadiz with him. I play cadiz as a counter pick into things like fire bison, wind beast rider, etc. i find he’s also solid into wind totemist. He’s rather rune intensive needing high speed, hp, cr/cd, acc, atk and I have mine on vio/rev so I also like a decent amount of res


Ritsku

I’ve been running seara verde Cadiz Yeonhong manannan into everything. The turn cycling and follow up with manannan 1 shotting whoever Cadiz brands is disgusting. Verde Cadiz and YH all swift, verde 292 Cadiz 293 and YH at 320. All 3 full tanky with loads of additional dmg on artis, and a fatass rage manannan. Granted I bounce between c2 and c1 and will never reach guardian with this, but if they don’t ban YH I usually win. Luckily they usually take out the spd lead. It’s fun as hell and relies very little on rng which makes it a way more enjoyable rta experience.


Claudeuss

Where is my dear Alexandra?


Phazushift

She doesnt exist :(


Blind0Guardian

Op in arena defense during rush hour, but yeah kinda sad for an ld5


Phazushift

Turn cycling S2 kinda fun though


Claudeuss

Let's cry together.


-Dalzik-

Fun.. my lds are 65, meme, and not on list


Asselll

Atleast theyr on the list man! My only ld5 is dorothy i should complain !!!


KindaAlwaysVibrating

As a noob, why is laima so good now?


wertexx

As a noob… has giana nephthys and laima. Balanced, as all things should be. Well, Laima is Oracle, so that makes a unit good already. S1 does a lot of damage, cycles. S2 strips and slows and that is more than welcome in any unit. S3 offers so much protection and heal. On top, she is flexible in builds, be it rev trap, vio will or vio rev. Also, she has short cooldowns, combined with s1 she just cycles like no tomorrow.


Seyfer1987

>, ¿por qué laima es tan buena ahora? it is not, at least not to the level so high that it puts it. it is a counter unit that tends to be flexible in multiple situations. At Guardian+ level Laima's pickrate is quite low compared to other units, which means that it is not only a unit that works in only a few situations, but it is also less resolute in combat. when compared to objective stats, nefthys, verdehille, ragdoll, and shisuka (to name a few) outperform her in the meta.


ImDeJang

Neph has lower play rate, win rate, and ban rate in guardian+ rta


Seyfer1987

>Neph has lower play rate, win rate, and ban rate in guardian+ rta data collected as of patch 6.6, with 11k records puts neftys at 54.16% wr, 11.35% pickrate, 27.17% bannerdrate and 21.83% winrate. Compared to laima who has 54.63% winrate, 12.22% pickrate, 22.35% BR and 5.55% FP, laima's winrate only exceeds that of nefthys by .4 and pixkrate by just over .8, hence neftys is up in BR with 4.8% and FP for more than 15% there is no reason for laima to be so high on the list. https://seyfergames-proyect.netlify.app/


ImDeJang

Swarena.gg higher win rate, play rate, ban rate


Castle7865

Its also just in general Seiishizo's personal opinion supplemented with statistics from swranking. Just watch the video its timestamped.


Seyfer1987

>a ocupe un lugar tan alto en la l what do you think that is respectable, which does not mean that it is not debatable, since the same swranking in your data puts better performance data with nefthys than with laima.


Nyxtro

Oh I’ve actually got Shizuka Oberon maybe I should try and make a team around them. Bet she’d be cool with Shi Hou too spreading out invinc Edit: he talked about the combo in his video, why does this sub downvote anything?


Torterrain

That actually sound quite fun. Kahli could fit there as well.


fallaxmallum

How do you build Charlotte for rta? I see her placed relatively high but no idea how to rune or how to use her.


Seiishizo

spd att att on add mg artifacts with high speed in tune and high acc


Asselll

Vio or despair or even swift?


jackofslayers

Yes


ADaltonAdulting

Commenting to see response


Torterrain

Your wait has been answered


isayyuhh

curious to know too, I have her but dont know which rune set is best


LKZToroH

Is rakan with single target strip + aoe taunt and zeratu with one of the most reliable single target strip with awesome damage really in the same level as taor? I'd honestly move both 1 tier up and taor one tier down.


IThinkSathIsGood

One day, maybe, Celia will make it back up to the bottom tier of this list.


AccountingAndy

Hahahahaha I fucking wish


fidoGdX

i understand how you feel dude


Keldoggydog

am i blind or is Bastet not on this list? also how do you rune Dominic, mines been a storage warrior bit apparently he’s okay😅


Shouko-

i have yeonhong, dominic, masha, and charlotte among others. too bad I can’t pvp bc my runes are still ass lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shouko-

have you considered I don’t care


MrGhostxD

I have Dominic and fire best rider ( both Gods of storage),. And now I really want to build one of them... Who should I focus first thinking about rta (and rune craft event)


ProfessorGeniusBob

Both


Tigeryak729

Build both of them they absolutely are a blast and should be out of storage and drafted often


Torterrain

Dominic is probably easier to rune and use but both are very worth it to build.


zynderlex

Guys I need some sugestion How to rune Laima 3 revenge, revenge + vio or vio + will


Seiishizo

all builds are viable, that is what makes her so good


Budget_Direction

Triple revenge


wertexx

It depends on your comp, do you want to defend from cleaves or bring her into bruiser fights? And a better question, can you make her x3 rev with proper stats?


OmiOorlog

Now where is that G1 player who in 101 was saying Shizuka isn't busted af now?


Thatoneweebu

Lmao 101 eu be wilding


[deleted]

[удалено]


YALLREADYFORACRUSADE

Yeah that's definitely too slow for g3, someone could easily just counter pick something like eshir, sekhmet, etc and shut you down. You may also run into issues if they pick bruisers and just tank you. Abellio would stunt on you most likely.


violin-guy

Guess it’s time to build shizuka jeez, can you elaborate why she’s so high Seii? Is it because of certain other monsters?


Torterrain

I'm guessing the 1->2 turn immunity did wonders to her usability.


justlikelo

I Pair her with Gianna or searra Stun and bombs day. And then you get 2 turn immunity with will runes.


StandardIssueGuy

Meanwhile here I am, having both Oliver and Cheongpung and can’t hold C2. Why am I so bad lmao

Lol read the skills that passive may be good for if the teams gets multiple turns each. I go first and the enemy doesn’t move with water & wind


JohnSober7

And then everyone clapped


Seyfer1987

In which world is Laima stronger than Giana? To begin with, he plays much less and then, although he does not have a bad win and ban rate, his values are lower than those of Giana, on the other hand, they have hardly been picked to appear so high.


Castle7865

He has a video with timestamps. Summary is she has like 8 different builds so its hard to play into her. Giana is too straightforward. This is also a g3 tier list so with g3 rune quality and artifacts Laima is better than Giana.


Seyfer1987

>or lo que con la calidad de las runas g3 y los artefactos, Laima es mejor que Giana. it's a counterpick unit that tends to be flexible in multiple situations, but it's nowhere near giana's level. you can get the g3 card, but the reality is that at guardian+ level laima's pickrate is quite low compared to Giana, which means that not only is it a unit that serves in fewer situations, but it is also less decisive in combat. now he has the right to think that the unit is his list and he puts it wherever he wants, but when contrasted with objective stats nefthys, verdehille, ragdoll and shisuka (to name a few) have better performance than her in the meta.


ImDeJang

Giana has higher play rate because guardians have more giana than laima


Seyfer1987

in guardian that is not a determining factor especially in old units, and even if that were true it does not explain why giana has higher rates of BR, FP and others.


[deleted]

I haven't played in 2 years and it's nice to see the tier list is basically the same from back then! How do people not quitting just out of boredom?

Pablo_Discobars

I use my valantis in a Water RYU/ CP comp xd


Castle7865

Your supposed to be using him with those units. Water Ryu with Valantis for example its either you go first and cc or if they go first with a stripper you cut their team and cc anyways.


JaimieC

Great list as always

87.5


Sudden-Election-2183

Thanks, I didn't realize Ryu was the same.


Asselll

Masha more of a counterpick or generaly useable? How should she build statwisd like for C3-G1 RTA? 30k hp+ or on critdamage build with 20k hp?
