King of Fighters Arena (KOF Arena) Season 5-6 Tierlist by Mr Zimmer

Hey guys, I've been playing KOF Arena since last year and I'd like to share some of my thoughts on the hero's tierlist!

Honestly there has not been much changes on the fighter balance patch. The last update on Fighter balance was on 7th Mar 2023, and it was on Shingo, Goro and Athena. The latest updates was for bug issues, rather than to balance the fighters abilities. Thus, I think this tierlist could even apply for Season 6 , 7 and more!

So I've created my tierlist, and here it is:

S Tier: Goenitz, Orochi, Orochi Yashiro, Iori Yagami
A Tier: K, Orochi Iori, Kyo, Takuma, Terry, Kula Diamond and Kim
B Tier: Goro, Maxima, Leona, Mature, Orochi Leona, Ralf, Rugal
C: King, Orochi Chris, Robert, Choi, Athena, Clark, Mai Shiranui, Vice, Orochi Shermine, Ryo, Yuri.
D: Andy, Chris, Joe, Chang, Heidern, Chizuru, Benimaru, Heavy D, Shingo and Yashiro.

This list is based on my own subjective preference. Some of the fighters places in tier C/D might be due to lack of practice / exposure to the fighter. So do take this with a grain of salt!

Here I come with some explanation for 3 of my favorite fighters! This will allow you to try them out as a team. (However, do not restrict yourself to my choices. There are many fighter options that might suit you, so I suggest to try them out!)
