Phantom Breaker: Omnia tiers

[Triumph Forks]

A few disclaimers that should go without saying: this list is unofficial, heavily subjective, made by someone who is not a professional fighting game player, lacks sufficient data, and is more of a "first impression" type. I figured those who enjoy breaking down and analyzing the mechanics and styles of fighting game characters would appreciate a thread to discuss which characters in the game they feel are the strongest to use in a competitive setting. Here's what I've come up with so far. Feel free to ask why I put certain characters in a specific tier. Characters are not necessarily ordered. Remember that just because a character is in a low tier, it does not mean they're bad, they just might have a harder time fighting those in higher tiers.

S : Yuzuha, Cocoa
A : Mikoto, Sophia, Ende, Fin, Rimi
B : M, Waka, Itsuki, Kurisu, Ren, Mei
C : L, Shizuka, Ria, Infinity, Maestra
D : Shiro-Mikoto, Artifactor, Tokiya
E : Gaito

I'm open to discussion about this as well. Obviously since the game doesn't exactly have an esports following at the moment, we'll have to make due with our own personal evaluations.

well why type of discussion are you trying to have here?

How about first explaining the different ranking. so maybe we can come to some understanding. Like you have 6 ranking which barly make since for game that heavily reliant on the system.

It looks like your tier list has Bias toward character with speed since the top character either are fast or have unique mobility options. then follow by character who just have big button. shjiro mikoto, tokiya and artifactor being the outlier which im chalking up to their mobility still being to low.

am I on the money?

I'm eager to hear other's opinions on which characters they feel are the strongest and for what reason. And yes, I do have a bit of a bias, but since, again, we don't have much to go on, I can only propose tiers from my own evaluation. Which, of course, will be slanted.

Frame data was one of the biggest considerations, which is why faster characters tend to be higher. A notable exception to this is L. Mixup potential and overall damage output were also contributors. For example, Yuzuha can teleport and throw shurikens that do decent damage, giving her a surprisingly good long range game in addition to her extremely potent close range game and allowing a wider range of versatility in her play style. On the flip side, Gaito is a lot more streamlined and lacks mixups, making him more predictable and easier to fight. Coupled with his bad frame data, despite his large damage output, he's likely going to struggle.

Hopefully this made sense, I sometimes have trouble with my wording, especially when I'm trying to explain myself, so I apologize if it doesn't.

It's too early for tier lists.I saw a steamer playing as Fin,that character looked ridicilous in his hands.She might be the best at the moment,dont know about the rest of the cast.

Well considering Omnia is update version of Phantom Breaker Extra which ive made tier list back in 2021. Gaito is top 3. He has considerable mix up thanks to his 2M and 3H being confirmal and lows that go into many overhead, Gaito consistent in breaking gaurd guage.

Your over selling on Yuzuha ninja hail projectile they can potentially lock down but they lose to Quick evasion pretty easy, and worst opponent can just clash with them.

The other stuff can be for debate but the game teir list not as wide spread out as you think it is.

heres my past teir list

with the buff that came along to shizuka their no longer a C tier list. and the fact Omnia now grants a universal super that can aid character with long range, Itsuki and Ren go up a notch too.
