Anime Chefs Unit Tier List (Pre-Release)
This isn't the full Anime Chefs tier list and instead just brief comments about the current EA state of the game (The full one will be on Monday/Tuesday 29th/30th). So far it seems that Common and Rare units cannot compete with the unique abilities that higher rarities get. From Epic to Mythic you can slow down meat burn speed or teleport or basically pause time to catch up. That's why the best units in Anime Chefs are usually in the higher rarities. Here's an early incomplete tier list for now:
| Tiers | Units and Quick Notes (A better tier list is coming next week) |
|---|---|
| S |
All the Mythics & Legendaries Basically Sun Jin Woo can just teleport around and finish orders really fast and Toge and Gojo can just catch up with time pauses. They're drastically more powerful than Epics and below and it's not even a competition since Epics and below don't have active abilities. The active abilities really elevate the Legendaries and Mythics from the rest of the lower rarities. Out of all of the I'd say that Sun Jin Woo's teleport puts him at the top of the S-Tier since movement is so powerful in Overcooked to get everything done faster. |
| A |
Levi and Senku These two have unique passive abilities from the Legendaries with an added stat boost but no actives. Having no actives makes them weaker but their unique passives to slow meat burn on order submissions is quite good. That said Mikasa isn't the best, more on that below. |
| B |
Rare Units & Mikasa Mikasa isn't that good since she doesn't have a constant movement speed boost and instead gets one at +20% after a throw that lasts for 4 seconds. I would rather just have a +15% one from the rares and Epics that works all the time. Rares just get double passive boosts that are always on but their lack of unique passives and actives puts them at B. |
| C |
Common Units with Passive Buffs Common units just get a single passive buff which is at least something. They're filler beginner units that you'll maybe use once and then move to higher rarities |
| D | Units with no Buffs |
