=Overview=
*This List shows the relative strength of a demon and how/where it can be used.

*If you have any problems with evaluations/ratings here, feel free to edit them yourself (See How to Edit Section below), or discuss it with us on Discord!

=Rating=
*<span style="color:#FF0000"> '''The PVP Tier List compares demons in their Panel 3 form, with their skills leveled up, with good brands, and assumes the best transfer skills.''' </span>
**However a Tier List comparing demons solely in their Panel 0/1/2 forms would not be largely different from this one. 
**Demons who depend on certain panels to shine will have this noted in their Cons for clarity, along with their score rating at Panel X.
**On the other hand, '''The PVE rating takes into account the difficulty of raising the demon''' (Demons hard to Panel while needing them etc.)

*Neither the PVE nor the PVP grades take into account Democalypse. See [[Democalypse]] for a Democ Tier List.

*'''The meaning of the PVP Ratings (both for Offense team and Defense team) are as follow''':
**'''Tier 10''': Meta-warping demon. Insanely strong demon, the Metagame is either built around them or will be, once more people have access to their Panel 3. 
***Tier 10 PVP Offense: can absolutely destroys any defense due to the lack of skills/demons that are able to counter/mitigate their skills effectiveness.
***Tier 10 PVP Defense: counters most offense teams, even having fully prepared offense team to combat them isn't a guaranteed victory. Their AI will also unleash their full potential regardless of the team composition faced.
**'''Tier 9''': Meta-defining demons. Extremely strong demons who cover roles/functions which are very important in the Meta and are the best demons at the roles. Tier 9 are either perfectly suited to fight against the Meta or are essential elements of Meta teams.
***Tier 9 PVP Offense: there must exist a team that would allow the demon to beat any defense teams.
**'''Tier 8''': Very strong demons filling important roles/functions. Extrememly strong against any non-Meta strategies (from Mid to low-High Tier teams). They are somewhat suited to fight against the Meta but are imperfect at it. They also either do not totally fit in Meta teams or are outclassed by a Tier 9 demon covering the same role.
***Tier 8 PVP Offense demons must still allow a high winrate in high rank, and can potentially offer a near 100% winrate in lower ranks. 
**'''Tier 7''': high-Mid Tier demons. Every demons here are solid. They just have drawbacks that is greatly disavantageous against the Meta, or the role/function they cover may not fit the Meta. However all Tier 7 demons ''could'' be usable against the Meta or part of it, but as replaceable cogs within a team of Tier 8 and above demons.
**'''Tier 6''': Mid Tier demons. Can be very good in a narrow niche but have drawbacks that either 1) put them at an extreme disavantage against the Meta, 2) contradicts all their qualities, or 3) their qualities are hard-countered by the Meta. Also contains solid demons but which are underwhelming.
**'''Tier 5''': demons who get severly countered by Top Tier teams and cannot be used in any of them either. They also get beaten up by even Mid-to-High Tier rogue strategies. The demons may have some strong assets but are destroyed by counters that are easy and common even in lower PVP rank.
**'''Tier 4''': Nearly unusable against or in the Meta. Mostly underwhelming demons with a lot of weak points.
**'''Tier 3 and lower''': Hardly useful against most teams. Unfit for PVP even in low rank.

*'''P.S.''': The Meta refers to the Meta in top ranks. Basically, for PvP Offense rating, imagine your Demons fighting against Rank 300 or even Rank 100 Teams. And for PvP Defense imagine the Rank 300 / 100 players can see your Defense Team on their PvP list or would frequently random into you: the PvP Def rating would then be a measure of how much Points you managed to save. 


*PVE ratings are more subjective but we still agree on one thing: a 10 in PvE can be used in pretty much every PvE Content and be very effective

*Feel free to change ratings, but if you do '''explain your reasoning in the summary!'''
**You are also free to discuss anything regarding this Tier List on the Discord.

*Please refrain from simply stating Panel Information or the likes. We want this to be a quick glance at the relative power and the role of the demon.
**State where this demon can be used and how effective it is for this - or how it is not effective.

*For actual Builds, please go to the respective Builds Page of the demon.

==Icon Meanings==
A demon can be a combination of flags below. Some demons can be very complicated about Flags they have available depending on how the demon was made available. Baal for example is available as both a Multi-Fusion (Clear) and as a Banner Required (Color). This means he will be listed as a Gacha and Fusible as he requires you to either Multi-Fusion his Clear version or pull his Color version.

{{GachaFlag|fusible=True|banner=False|event=False|gacha=False}} Demon is either a normal Fusion or Multi-Fusion required demon. All instances of this can be clicked on in the Tier List to be taken directly to how to fuse that demon.
{{GachaFlag|fusible=False|banner=True|event=False|gacha=False}} Demon requires pulling on a specific banner to obtain.
{{GachaFlag|fusible=False|banner=False|event=False|gacha=True}} Demon requires pulling to obtain and do not typically have Clear versions. They also are available when pulling from anything including a Superior Summon File.
{{GachaFlag|fusible=False|banner=False|event=True|gacha=False}} Demon requires pulling during a specific event or was/is only obtainable through specific means outside of pulling.

==To-do List==
*Add notable 4* Demons
*Add a more objectively based indicator for ratings
**If you have any suggestions for this that are feasible, tell us on Discord!
