Definitive Fire Force Reignition Abilities Tier List

When you create a character in Fire Force Reignition (previously known as "Fire Force Online"), the game randomly selects your Clan, your Generation, your Subclass, and your Abilities. Unfortunately, all three of these things are important, especially the last two. Your Generation in Fire Force Reignition determines which Abilities you could potentially get, and not all of them are as powerful or as useful. To help you know which abilities are better than others, we created this Fire Force Reignition Abilities Tier List.

Fire Force Online Abilities Tier List

When you create a character, the game will randomly assign you to Generation 1, Generation 2, Generation 3, or Generation 5 (yup, no Generation 4, for some reason). Additionally, you can also become an Infernal and get completely different abilities (unless you are Generation 1).

You can tell which Generation you are by the number of bars you have in the bottom right side of the screen (Gen 1 only has 1, Gen 2 has 2, etc.). Additionally, the game will randomly determine which skill trees you get to learn, based on your generation. You can pay Robux and reroll your Abilities, and get new ones in your current Generation, OR you can completely roll your Generation.

In a way, think of Generations as different races, and know that each race can only learn its own abilities. Because of this, we are going to make several ability tier lists (one for each generation and one for Infernals). Generation 5 doesn't get a Tier list because there's only one ability (Benimaru, which is amazing), but we will add a list as soon as the devs add more.

Fire Force Reignition Generation 1 Abilities Tier List

Generation 1 is the only Generation without magical (elemental) abilities. Instead, you'll be relying on your weapon. You can still be just as powerful as other Generations, but you won't be able to cast fireballs, nor will you be able to become an Infernal.

Tier Ability Name Info
SS
Mizu
Out of all the weapons, most players seem to agree that Mizu is one of the most effective.
It's quick, it can dash, it can toss enemies, and it's great for breaking guards. Good at both PvP and PvE.
S
Rifle
Even though many players don't like the Rifle, its long range is what makes it so popular.
You can fire shots at enemies and even toss grenades, and if that doesn't work, just whack your enemy.
A
Pilebunker
Pilebunker is a bit hard to learn, but once you master the moves, you'll get a powerful set of moves, fit for almost any situation.
You can guard break, dash, do combo moves, and throw enemies around. Pilebunker has everything.
A
Lai Fist
If you like close combat and are good at guarding and countering, the Lai Fists are a great pick.
They rely on quick moves and timing, instead of brute force. Not exactly beginner-friendly, but pretty deadly when used correctly.
B
Axe 'n' Gun
Axe 'n' Gun looks cool and is fun to use. It is also great for breaking guards.
Mostly good for PvP, but can be a good pick for PvE too.
C
Katana
The Katana is very weird. Some love it, some hate it. In our experience, it's a lot of fun, but it's also unreliable.
The Soul Unbound is tricky to pull off, and many moves don't always land.
C
Shield
The Shield isn't a bad weapon, but it definitely has a long learning process.
However, even if you do master the Shield, you'll find that it just isn't as good as other Gen 1 abilities.

Fire Force Reignition Generation 2 Abilities Tier List

Generation 2 are humans who were born with the natural ability to use fire. The good ones become powerful Fire Force members, while the bad ones can go off and become Infernals. According to most players, being a Gen 2 (and especially Gen 3) is more fun than being a Gen 1.

Tier Ability Name Info
S
Liberation Fist
Fast paced, can break guards, fire enemies from a distance, and even send them flying. It's easy to use and very powerful.
A
Charon
Looks cool, easy to grind with. Some say it's the best in Gen 2, but most agree it's not the best.
Definitely a fun one to have as a Gen 2.
B
Sickles
Sickles used to be one of the best abilities in the game before the devs nerfed it.
Now, it's not the best, but it's still very good with its wide attacks, grab moves, and guard breaks.
B
Sputter and Flare
Sputter and Flare is actually a really good ability; it just takes a while to learn how to use it.
It's definitely one of those abilities you need to play around with, and the more you do, the better it gets.
C
Gun
The gun can be powerful, but it's very unreliable and combo-locks you into place with most of its abilities.
Some swear by it, but many seem to agree it's not the best.
C
Dual Crossblades
Dual crossblades aren't bad; they are just really confusing to use. Most players try to learn, give up, and just reroll for something else.
D
Ice
You shoot Ice using a Trumpet. It doesn't work well, and most players reroll if they get this ability.

Fire Force Reignition Generation 3 Abilities Tier List

Arguably, the best and most fun Generation in Fire Force Reignition. Gen 3 is like a mix between the last two generations and uses more than just fire abilities as elements.

Tier Ability Name Info
SS
Dragon
Out of all the abilities, Dragon does the most damage.
It's great for farming, great for PvP, and even the best looking.
SS
Excalibur
Excalibur looks cool, does a bunch of damage, and has a ton of moves that can win you battles.
It has several guard breaks, a dash move, and a wide attack. It's really one of the best abilities for Gen 3.
S
Joker
Joker used to be the best. Now it's just really, really good.
Essentially, you use fire to trick your opponent, cut them down, or just throw fireballs at them.
Still a fan favorite and a ton of fun to use.
S
Lightning
Who needs fire when you've got the power of thunder?
Smite your enemies with bolts, hurl lightning balls at them, stun them, and throw them.
Another great ability for Gen 3.
A
Ogun
Ogun is really good in PvE. Because of its wide range of abilities, it's great for farming enemies.
It's not the most popular, but many Ogun users swear by it.
B
Sakura
Sakura is really fun to use, but not always useful. It's fantastic in 1v1 PvP but not great for PvE.
It relies mostly on stuns, grabs, and breaking blocks.
B
Ash
Ash is really good in some situations and really bad in others.
Use the power of burned Ash to materialize weapons and get a decent range of abilities.
It's not the best, but certainly not the worst.
C
Grand Hands
Also known as the Clapper. Many players say this is only good for farming mobs, and we agree.
Despite the wide range, Grand Hands are really clunky to use. Some players even said that
using them too much makes the game lag.
C
Devil's Footprint
The Devil's Footprint is only good in 1v1, and even then, you'd need to get pretty close
to your opponent to make it count. Despite looking cool, the abilities are kind of clunky.
D
Voltage Nova
A lot of players suggest you simply reroll your abilities if you get Voltage Nova because of how bad it is.
This is because, while the abilities themselves aren't bad, they take forever to cast.
So, if you're rocking Voltage Nova, get used to lagging behind a bit.
D
Explosive Flame
You use explosive flames, how can that be bad? Many players call this ability "garbage" and suggest you reroll it.
While it can do decent damage, the moves are really difficult to pull off. By the time you learn
how to properly use Explosive Flame, you're better off just using almost any other ability.

Fire Force Reignition Infernal Ability Tier List

If you don't want to be just a human controlling the power of flame, then just become an Infernal. Many players say that it's more fun to play Fire Force Reignition as the bad guy, anyway. As an Infernal, you can also get your own abilities, and some of them are pretty sweet.

Tier Ability Name Info
SS
Greatsword
If you hang out with Infernals, you'll likely notice a few Greatswords around.
Not only do they look cool, but they do a ton of damage, and can hit multiple enemies.
You can even apply fire to them to make the hit even harder. Absolutely OP.
S
Scythe
Sythe is the next best thing after Greatsword. In general, it's much harder to escape a Scythe wielder than a Greatsword user.
Scythes are definitely more useful in PvP, but it's not like they can't hold their own in PvE, either.
Great pick for any Infernal.
A
Doom Claw
Doom Claw is a little tricky to use, but can be just as effective as the top-tiered abilities.
Doom Claw users rely on launching their opponents into the air and then beating them up with claws.
A lot of fun, even though they are lagging a bit behind.
B
Summoner
Here's the thing about Summoners. They are effective, can do a lot of damage, but most of the players hate them because all they do is spam.
Summoners mostly rely on their M1 to spam summon things. Because of this, many consider it a zero-skill ability.
Other than that, it's not bad at all, just a bit spammy.
C
Oni
Whenever a player asks what's the best Infernal Ability after Greatsword, players often say "Anything except Oni", and we tend to agree.
Oni is the only ability that relies on precise attacks that don't always work, and end up missing.
There are players who still like Oni, but most say to just reroll for a different Infernal Ability.

That's all there is to it. Have fun playing Fire Force Reignition, and we hope you get some abilities you actually like to use. In the meantime, check out our Fire Force Rignition Clans Tier List and our Fire Force Reignition Subclass Tier List to see which ones are the best.
