My Hero Academia United Survival tier list from bottom of the barrel to top hero (August 2026)

My Hero Academia United Survival tier list from bottom of the barrel to top hero (August 2026)

  • My Hero Academia boasts an enormous roster of characters
  • So, where do they all stack up in Survivors-like United Survival?
  • Well, read through our tier list and find out for yourself

Being a shonen series, My Hero Academia is not short on characters. And that offers a truly dizzying number of options for developers to bring to the small screen. In the case of My Hero Academia United Survival, the roster is a little smaller than usual, but it still has plenty to rank!

Which is precisely what we’re doing here in the My Hero Academia United Survival tier list, where we see if characters live up to their presence on screen and page, or whether they got whacked with the nerf bat as they made their way to mobile.

While no tier list can be truly all-encompassing, I’d say we’ve given each character a fair shake and looked at their abilities closely. So, if you do disagree, then let us know why, and we can always look at shifting the rankings over time!

S Tier

  • Izuki Midoriya - It shouldn’t be surprising Deku gets top billing. His abilities are pretty practical, and you get an SR version right off the bat. His ability is simple, but straightforward, with a melee hit that can be quickly ranked up to do massive damage, and being able to direct it on the move helps greatly with moving around.
  • All Might
  • All for One
  • Kurogiri
  • Tomura Shigaraki
  • These are undoubtedly the most well-rounded and crucial characters to pick from. Even if they’re not particularly important in the series that United Survival is based on, it shouldn’t surprise you that the fan-favourites are the ones getting the most highlights here.

    It’s also worth noting that characters can be increased in terms of rarity. So while you may be lucky enough to pull a higher rarity character, generally once they’re unlocked it’s a matter of upgrading them further if nothing else. Leading characters don’t do much differently apart from being the ones controlled, so typically you’ll want those with either simple abilities or a specific lynchpin to hold the team together.

    A Tier

    An image of Katsuki Bakugo, a blonde youth wearing gym clothes with an angry look on his face and fire erupting from his palms.
  • Katsuki Bakugo - Seems kind of appropriate the shonen rival comes second best. But Bakugo (and Todoroki) both have abilities that work well to cover for Deku’s drawbacks. Although Todoroki maintains a position from auto-select, Bakugo quickly gets shunted out, however.
  • Shoto Todoroki
  • Ochaco Uraraka
  • Shota Aizawa
  • Hawks
  • Tsuyu Asui
  • Present Mic
  • Stain
  • This is where we’ve got meat-and-potatoes characters that’ll serve well either as leaders or members of your team. They have decent abilities, but definitely shine in one area over another. Some of these characters would be placed higher, but I’m mainly reserving S tier for ‘must leads’.

    3
    B Tier

    An image of Momo Yaoyorozu, a character with a ponytail, in an action pose manifesting a shield from her arm.
  • Momo Yaoyorozu: While her ability ‘creation’ sounds fun in the context of a shonen manga, in-game it boils down to dropping mines. Since a Survivors-like requires a lot of moving around, this isn’t totally useless, but functions fine for a support character.
  • Endeavour
  • Himiko Toga
  • Tenya Lida
  • Fumikage Tokoyami
  • Minoru Mineta
  • This tier marks characters with definite drawbacks. They’ll usually be the most help as members of your team, offering their very niche abilities to help clear out enemies, but not as leaders.

    4
    C Tier

    An image of Denki Kaminari, a stylish young man with blonde hair in a tracksuit and with lightning emerging from his hands.
  • Denki Kaminari: I’d have to actually do more with Kaminari to know whether this is where to put him. But having his main attack be AoE and only last a brief while, alongside cooldown, just doesn’t seem to work well for my playstyle at least, especially when Todoroki offers much greater effects at higher levels.
  • Dabi
  • Eijiro Kirishima
  • We usually don’t go down to ‘D’ anymore, since rankings such as these inevitably change. However, these can be easily classified as lacklustre, with abilities and passive bonuses that really don’t measure up or are superseded by other, better characters.

    Reroll Guide

    Rerolling is easy in MHA United Survival, but if this is your first gacha game it may be useful to know how this neat trick works. And the best part is that it (almost) always works in other games of this type too, if you're willing to put in the time and effort! Of course, nowadays certainly early pulls are guaranteed, but still, you don't try and you don't get.

    Rerolling simply works by going through your customary gacha intro and then getting to your first chance to freely roll. Be sure not to link your data or Google Play/iOS account beforehand. Once you get your free roll, simply use it, see what you get, and if you aren't satisfied, delete and clear the cache of the game before reinstalling and starting again.

    Now, as I found it, MHA United Survival basically guarantees Midoriya for the first one in SR form. So it may be better just to swallow your pride and stick with it. But if you want to experiment, then give it a go!
