This Tier system is a levelling guide to help you know who to focus on levelling for your STR characters based on their usefulness and how soon they will be outclassed by new characters.
Tier 1 characters wont be outclassed for a very long time or ever! So its worth putting in the effort to get them to max or close to max level.
Tier 2 characters are good STR characters that will hold their own in a STR team for a long time so are worth levelling to around 60-80.
Tier 3 characters are good if you don’t have many other STR characters, you should only level them to 40-60 if you really need to, if you have higher tier STR characters you should put the xp into them instead.
