My Hero Academia United Survival is finally here, and if you've been wondering who's actually worth keeping, we've got you covered. We have created this My Hero Academia United Survival characters tier list to help you figure out who deserves a spot on your team and who you can safely ignore.
My Hero Academia United Survival Characters Tier List
Here's every character ranked from best to worst. We based this on how well each character performs as a main, how much investment they need to be useful, and what they actually contribute to the team in survival and boss content.
MHA United Survival uses Enlistment Tickets as the main gacha currency. You get one free SR character to start, choosing between Midoriya, Bakugo, or Todoroki. After that, every character comes from banner pulls. Multiple banners run at the same time with different featured SR units, so plan your tickets around whoever you want most.
Here is the tier list:
| Tier | Characters |
|---|---|
| S Tier | Shoto Todoroki, Izuku Midoriya, All Might, Tomura Shigaraki |
| A Tier | Hawks, Kurogiri, Shota Aizawa, All For One, Endeavor, Stain, Himiko Toga, Momo Yaoyorozu |
| B Tier | Ochaco Uraraka, Katsuki Bakugo, Tenya Iida, Tsuyu Asui |
| C Tier | Dabi, Eijiro Kirishima, Present Mic |
| D Tier | Denki Kaminari |

 Izuku Midoriya | SR | U.A. Class 1-A | Ranged | • Auto-targets nearest enemy so he's reliable from wave one • Base costume gives the whole team +7% ATK • Simple to use • Great to rank up |

 Tomura Shigaraki | SR | League of Villains | AoE | • Hand of Decay Ultimate costs only 120 SP, which is very cheap for SR • Applies long Laceration plus up to 40% ATK Up • Extra hit counts make him solid in both waves and boss fights |
A-Tier Characters
| Character | Rarity | Group | Attack Type | Why They're A Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Hawks | SR | Pro Hero | AoE | • Vortex creates a sustained AoE field around him • Builds Laceration with high CRIT scaling • Needs risky close positioning to get full value |

 Momo Yaoyorozu | R | U.A. Class 1-A | AoE | • Ultimate raises every ally's Max HP by up to 40% • That new HP restores immediately and acts as an emergency heal • R rarity slows down her breakpoints |
 Shota Aizawa | SR | Pro Hero | Melee | • Follow-up strikes hit multiple targets, rare for a melee character • Ultimate applies ATK Down and Melee Defense Down, so this is great for bosses |
 All For One | SR | League of Villains | Ranged | • Pierces up to 30 enemies at once • Removes enemy projectiles on skill use |
 Endeavor | SR | Pro Hero | Ranged | • Hot Shot generates extra projectile attacks on hit • One of the best Boss Attack specialists once Burn scales • Regular skill doesn't gain Burn until four stars |

 Himiko Toga | R | League of Villains | Ranged | • Applies Laceration from range with good proc rate • Awakened skill gives Main SP Regen when hitting Lacerated enemies. This creates an Ultimate loop |

|---|---|---|---|---|
 Ochaco Uraraka | SR | U.A. Class 1-A | Ranged | • Bouncing projectile shreds enclosed rooms and packed corridors • Very strong in the right stage, but pretty inconsistent in the wrong one • Unreliable against lone bosses in open space |
 Katsuki Bakugo | SR | U.A. Class 1-A | Melee | • Needs high star rank before his circular attack pattern kicks in • Movement-based follow-up rewards active main players • Brings little debuff or sustain support |
Tenya Iida | SR | U.A. Class 1-A | Melee | • Team Movement Speed bonus is useful in escort and rescue missions • Invincibility Ultimate is a solid panic button for main players |

C-Tier Characters

 Dabi | R | League of Villains | Ranged | • Burn damage is powerful but doesn't appear until four stars • Reliable application locked behind UR+ investment • Takes too long to come online for most runs |
 Eijiro Kirishima | SR | U.A. Class 1-A | Melee | • Red Counter Ultimate only protects himself, not the team • Basic coverage and team utility lag behind other SR melee picks |
 Present Mic | R | Pro Hero | Ranged | • Bouncing projectile is great in enclosed maps, useless in open ones • Too dependent on stage layout to be a reliable pick • R rarity with a 195 SP Ultimate makes him hard to justify |
D Tier Characters

|---|---|---|---|---|
 Denki Kaminari | R | U.A. Class 1-A | Melee | • His own Ultimate applies ATK Down and Movement Speed Down to himself only for 10 seconds • Enemy Paralysis only unlocks at maximum Ultimate level • Requires massive investment • Stronger melee options exist at every rarity level |

FAQs
Shoto Todoroki is the strongest character at launch, combining AoE damage, crowd control, and team DEF Down into one of the most complete kits in the game.
Bakugo is actually a B-tier pick who needs high star ranks to feel fully functional. He's fun but outperformed by most other SR characters at the same investment level.
Play through Chapter One with a guest account to unlock the gacha, pull your characters, and if you're unhappy, go to the title screen menu and tap Reset (Reroll) to start fresh.
