Quantum Siege Chosen & Units Tier List Revision™
Hello all, this is the very first version of our Quantum Siege Tier List.
Please feel free to have a look. Leave any comments below.
The goal of this thread is to explain the rationales behind the tiers given to the various Chosen & Units in both PvE and PvP environment.
First, we will start with PvE.
In PvE, chosens are the best tank and chosens that can heal themselves while tanking are the best.
This is relative to the current content at the moment.
This means that your melee units die easily due to the lack of heals.
Hence, you are better off running chosens as tanks and using ranged units to do damage.
In this way, your ranged units stay alive and continue to do good damage as compared to melee units that dies easily.
For units, besides melee/ranged units, there are also the units that damages machines and/or gates ONLY.
For these units, we compare them to each other to determine their tier, and also relative to their usefulness in the current content.
Based on the current version 2.0 content, these siege units are not exactly necessary to clear any PvE content.
You can clear any PvE content without them; to be exact, you are better off without them.
Hence, none of them gets the S ratings.
Next, the PvP tiers.
For PvP, the considerations for the tier ratings are much more complex.
This requires deep understanding of the various PvP strategies, combinations of Chosen/Units and their counters.
All considerations are important when considering their tier rating.
For example, a Chosen can be damn good but if the energy cost is too high, its tier rating will not be too high either.
For units, it is a different ball game altogether.
Some of the considerations for giving the tier are similar but different to that from the Chosen.
Similarly, for SIEGE units, we compare them to each other for the tier rating.
Sieging is a respectable strategy for PvP also but we wouldn't give any SIEGE unit the S rating yet as it can be easily countered.
*Disclaimer: The above tier ratings are all our subjective & personal tier ratings, relative to the current content.
If you find that the tier ratings above are inaccurate, it could be that the current content has changed due to patches etc.

First, we will start with PvE.
In PvE, chosens are the best tank and chosens that can heal themselves while tanking are the best.
This is relative to the current content at the moment.
Ranged units are more preferred to melee units due to the lack of any healing meta in this game.
This means that your melee units die easily due to the lack of heals.
Hence, you are better off running chosens as tanks and using ranged units to do damage.
In this way, your ranged units stay alive and continue to do good damage as compared to melee units that dies easily.
For units, besides melee/ranged units, there are also the units that damages machines and/or gates ONLY.
We will call these SIEGE units.
For these units, we compare them to each other to determine their tier, and also relative to their usefulness in the current content.
Based on the current version 2.0 content, these siege units are not exactly necessary to clear any PvE content.
You can clear any PvE content without them; to be exact, you are better off without them.
Hence, none of them gets the S ratings.
Next, the PvP tiers.
For PvP, the considerations for the tier ratings are much more complex.
This requires deep understanding of the various PvP strategies, combinations of Chosen/Units and their counters.
- Our #1 consideration when giving the tier for CHOSENs is definitely the synergy that they can bring when combined with other Chosens.
- Our #2 consideration will be the usefulness of their actives and passives.
- Our #3 consideration will be their potential to act as a specific COUNTER to specific combinations of chosen strategy.
- Our #4 consideration will be their energy cost
All considerations are important when considering their tier rating.
For example, a Chosen can be damn good but if the energy cost is too high, its tier rating will not be too high either.
For units, it is a different ball game altogether.
Some of the considerations for giving the tier are similar but different to that from the Chosen.
- #1 is Energy Cost; energy cost depends on how many and how fast you can summon units; speed is key in battle!
- #2 is HP; so it doesn't die easily to Chosens' damage actives
- #3 is Speed/Damage
- #4 is Ability/Usefulness
Similarly, for SIEGE units, we compare them to each other for the tier rating.
Sieging is a respectable strategy for PvP also but we wouldn't give any SIEGE unit the S rating yet as it can be easily countered.
