Fortune's Weave Tier List: Launch Ranking Framework

Tier-list status

A final Fortune's Weave tier list should wait for release data. For now, this page defines the ranking framework so early launch updates can be consistent instead of becoming a loose opinion list.

Ranking criteria

Rank units by availability, route access, class role, movement, weapon utility, survivability, speed, support value, and Blaze Arts impact. Separate story usefulness from endgame strength, because Fire Emblem units can be excellent for different reasons.

Suggested tiers

Use S for route-defining units, A for consistently strong units, B for reliable role players, C for situational units, and D only when a unit has severe opportunity-cost issues. Do not rank unreleased characters from trailer presence alone.

How to avoid bad rankings

Keep separate tier lists for first-playthrough value, maddening-style difficulty if present, and route-specific teams. A single global list may be useful for search, but detailed pages should explain context.
