Creature tier list — simulated duels in Kanto Tactics Arena

Compare all 30 original creatures in same-cost duels. See sample sizes, wins, draws, losses and the limits of these simulation rankings.

Use this Kanto Tactics Arena guide to compare a specific combat setup. Check the sample size and read the limits before choosing a team; a high duel score does not measure shop luck, economy or every possible formation.

These results describe Kanto Tactics Arena’s original creatures and current combat engine. They are simulations, not player match statistics or a ranking of another game.

How these rankings were made in Kanto Tactics Arena

These results describe Kanto Tactics Arena’s original creatures and current combat engine. They are simulations, not player match statistics or a ranking of another game.

Battles: 3,936
Version: 0.4.0
Data date: 2026-10-19
Seed: 20261019

Each creature fights every other creature of the same cost at 1★ with no items. Type effectiveness and single-unit synergies remain active. Each pair uses 8 seeds, both sides and two horizontal orientations: 32 battles per pair.

Eight fixed candidate teams play a round robin. Each has six 2★ creatures, costs 42 gold in purchased copies and uses the same three completed items. Item placements and formations are fixed. Each pair uses 32 battles with side swaps and mirrored positions.

Score = (wins + 0.5 × draws) / battles. S ≥ 65%; A ≥ 50%; B ≥ 35%; C < 35%. Compare creatures within the same cost. Equal scores share rank; these cutoffs are labels, not confidence estimates.

Duel results understate healing, support and area abilities. The two 5-cost creatures have only one opponent each. Team ranks compare these eight candidates only; they do not model shop availability, economy, player decisions or blessing bonuses. Repeated orientations are correlated scenarios, not independent human matches.
