Kaneki’s Awaken form is making him one of the best heroes with high single-target damage and strong passives. His Vampirism Boost is going to increase the life steal when dealing damage and will also boost the damage per HP remaining in Blood Rage.

A Ranked Characters

A ranked heroes in the Tokyo Ghoul: Awakening tier list are the good characters with specific roles and within the right team.

  • Yukinori Shinohara – This is a tank hero with a better attack damage and will increase the damage of his allies while reducing the damage they are taking.

  • Nashiro Yasuhisa (Spotless Shroud) – Nashiro is good at stunning the enemies and will increase the damage boost

  • Noro (Powerful Revival) – Noro is a DPS hero with AoE skills and has high single-hit damage.

  • Ayato Kirishima (Rebelwing) – This is a DPS hero with a balanced DPS kit who does decent damage with decent mobility

 

B Ranked Characters

B-ranked heroes are the average heroes in this Tokyo Ghoul: Awakening tier list. So basically, they are for the Tokyo Ghoul: Awakening beginners and can handle most of the early game content. If you want to maximize their power, then you have to invest more in them.

  • Hinami Fueguchi (Fledgling Butterfly) – as a DPS and a support role, this hero brings a decent support with minor damage and stat buffs

  • Nishiki Nishio (Senior) – Nishiki has a decent kit and only does an okay performance for the beginners.

  • Akira Mado (Father's Will) – This is a DPS hero, and her damage is good for early PvE stages

C Ranked Characters

The least powerful heroes in the entire Tokyo Ghoul: Awakening tier list are here. They are weak in many areas, so you'd better avoid them.

  • Ryoko Fueguchi – with a better skill investment, there is a slight support coming from this hero

  • Kurona Yasuhisa – This character has a bit of speed-based DPS skills

  • Naki – will bring an okay attack but poor in both PvE and PvP

C Ranked Characters

So, if you are focusing on building the most powerful team, just make sure that you are going for the SS rank and S rank heroes. They have a slightly low drop rate when summoning, but doing multiple summons will increase the chance of obtaining one. The best method we can recommend here for doing so is using the best Android emulator like LDPlayer. You can play Tokyo Ghoul: Awakening on PC there and use its LDMultiplayer and Sync features. So, using them, you get the ability to clone the game, and all these created instances can be used for summoning. Which means, you have a high chance of obtaining a high-ranked hero.

Conclusion

And that is all for our Tokyo Ghoul: Awakening tier list, and if you are one who is focusing on earning a definite victory in the battles, remember to go with SS and S ranks. Know who fits the best into your team and create the most powerful formation there. And we hope that our guide can be a real help for it.
