TIER LIST 2026 — TYPING MUSOU

Typing MusouTier List

All 14 characters of the current balance, measured on exactly the live battle logic. Real matches are split into four typing-speed bands, each band runs a full round-robin (7,280,000 battles per star level), and the bands are weighted by how often they are actually played. Tiers come from that real-match win rate alone.

Raw, unenhanced performance. All 14 sit between 48.3% and 51.5%, with only a small rarity tilt left on purpose — Common averages 48.8%, Legendary 51.1% (2.3 points). Shogun tops the board at 51.5%, with newcomer Seiryu second at 51.4%.

TIER BOARD

Tier board

Tiers are cut mechanically from measured win rates, with the same cuts for ☆0 and ☆5 — and the cuts never move between runs. This time SS and C are empty at both levels (S 4, A 8, B 2): the 14-character rebalance left nobody extremely strong or extremely weak. Within a tier, characters are sorted by win rate. Click a character to jump to their entry.

Tier SS is empty — no character's win rate is that far from the pack at this enhancement level.

Consistently ahead, with a job in every matchup and few blowout losses.

MEASURED WIN RATE

Measured win rates

Real-match win rates straight from the round-robin, run in four bands (20,000 trials per pair per band) and weighted by share of matches. The 95% confidence interval is within ±0.10pt per character. 50% is the average line.

Legendaryカウンター

#1 at ☆0 with a 51.5% real-match win rate. The reflect was halved, and Iron Wall's hit was raised to 1,580 in return.

Reflect12% / 12s

Mastery trait 'Realm of Thirty Provinces' is locked (switch to ☆5 to see it applied)

STRENGTH

Iron Wall (mid) hits for 1,580 and reflects 11%; Tenka Fubu (ult) reflects 12%. Both last 12 seconds, so the harder the opponent swings, the more comes back (55.0% vs Yamabushi, 53.6% vs Onmyoji, 53.5% vs Samurai).
10,380 HP and 1.10 DEF — a thick frame. In the three bands from 40 WPM up it wins 51.7–52.6%, whatever the speed.

WEAKNESS

Under 40 WPM it drops to 49.0%: when the opponent barely lands keystrokes, there is little to reflect. Loses to Busou's barriers (48.1%, 44.9% at ☆5) and Miko's healing (49.1%).
Iron Wall costs 65 SP — the heaviest mid in the roster. The opening is a plain slugfest, and ATK 0.90 hits light.

Combo guard12s

Mastery trait 'Unbroken Dragon Vein' is locked (switch to ☆5 to see it applied)

STRENGTH

Ryumyaku (mid) is 40 SP for 1,000 damage, +5 to your own combo, and 6 seconds in which a typo cannot break your combo. In the simulation the other characters average a combo of about 1.4–2.5; Seiryu averages 3.0–5.1 (slow band to fast band), and every normal hit rides that multiplier.
Seiryu Engetsu (ult) adds +10 to your combo, then deals 1,500 × your combo multiplier (1,875 at minimum, 2,250 at 20 combo) and guards the combo for 12 seconds. It rewards accuracy: measured at 97% accuracy, it is #1 of all 14 at both ☆0 (53.4%) and ☆5 (53.5%).

WEAKNESS

It only guards against your own mistakes. Onmyoji's Shikigami Strike and Pentagram Seal (and Fujin's Nowaki) still reset or seal the combo — 48.7% vs Onmyoji at ☆0. The worst matchup is Shogun's reflect (48.6% at ☆0, 47.0% at ☆5).
40,000 MC, the most expensive of all 14. With 10,000 HP, 1.01 ATK and 1.00 DEF the base stats are modest; most of its power comes from the combo multiplier.

Mastery trait 'Unceasing Gale' is locked (switch to ☆5 to see it applied)

STRENGTH

Kandachi is 35 SP (the cheapest mid) for 620 damage, -12% opponent SP, and +25% ATK for 9s. You push the tempo and delay their ultimate at the same time.
Nowaki (ult) resets their combo and adds +35% ATK. It crushes Hannya: 56.6% at ☆0, 57.2% at ☆5.

WEAKNESS

Loses to Raijin (46.8%) and Yamabushi (47.2%) at ☆0. In the fastest band, 80+ WPM, it slips to 49.5% (48.7% at ☆5).
0.90 DEF is thin. Get pushed before the buffs land and there is no plan B.

Mastery trait 'Thunderclap Summons' is locked (switch to ☆5 to see it applied)

STRENGTH

Narukami is 35 SP (the cheapest mid) for damage plus +10% of your own SP. Every cast brings the next one closer, so in slow sub-40 WPM matches with room for many casts it wins 52.0% (52.7% at ☆5).
ATK 1.19 is second only to Oni — the plain trading game holds up too, and it beats Fujin 53.2%.

WEAKNESS

SP refund shortens the gap between ultimates, and in the 40–59 WPM band that only reaches 49.3% (47.9% at ☆5).
Loses to Shogun (47.7%) and Seiryu (48.1%); at ☆5, Shogun takes it 45.0%.

Mastery trait 'Fox God Manifest' is locked (switch to ☆5 to see it applied)

STRENGTH

Fox Fire (mid) is damage plus DoT; Nine Tails Release (ult) is damage, DoT and a 450 heal. There is no hole in the kit.
1.09 ATK and 1.05 DEF keep matchups close: apart from Shogun, nothing beats it by much (its next-worst at ☆0, Seiryu, is still 48.5%).

WEAKNESS

38,000 MC — second only to Seiryu (40,000 MC). Not a first or second purchase.
Shogun's reflect takes it 46.9% at ☆0 and 43.5% at ☆5. Enhanced, the rest of the roster's mastery traits gain more (50.4% to 49.1%).

STRENGTH

ATK 1.34 is the roster's highest. Devour (mid) is 650 damage plus 52% of it back as health; Soul Devour (ult) is 2,000 at 100%. The harder it hits, the more it heals.
54.5% against Hannya, who tries to shrink its ATK, and 53.4% against Miko's healing.

WEAKNESS

0.85 DEF is the lowest in the roster, and 9,500 HP ties for the lowest (with Tengu and Kyuubi). Once behind, lifesteal cannot catch up.
Loses to Busou's barriers (47.6%, 44.8% at ☆5) and to Kyuubi (47.7%).

Mastery trait 'Unyielding Wings' is locked (switch to ☆5 to see it applied)

STRENGTH

ATK 1.16 is fourth-highest, behind Oni, Raijin and Onmyoji. Lightning Gale (35 SP — the cheapest mid) deals 850 and adds +26% ATK for 9s; Tengu Storm adds +45% for 10s. It all rides on the normal attacks you were already making.
Wins 50.4–50.9% in the 40–79 WPM bands, 54.1% against Hannya and 53.0% against Miko.

WEAKNESS

0.90 DEF and 9,500 HP is thin. Loses to Shogun's reflect (47.5%) and to Samurai (47.6%).
The buffs are self-targeted timers with no way to stop the opponent. Under 40 WPM it sits at 48.5%, and at 80+ at 48.8% — weak at both ends.

STRENGTH

1.14 DEF is the roster's highest; with 10,800 HP, everything that lands lands smaller.
59.0% into Busou's barriers (61.0% at ☆5) — the most lopsided pair in the game — and 57.5% into Yamabushi's DoT.

WEAKNESS

0.90 ATK is on the low end. Hannya, who shrinks its ATK further, takes it 43.6% (42.0% at ☆5) — Miko's worst matchup.
The swing between bands is large (47.7–51.8% at ☆0): the 40–59 WPM band is only 47.7% (46.9% at ☆5).

Enemy ATK-20% / 12s

Mastery trait 'Hellfire Mantra' is locked (switch to ☆5 to see it applied)

STRENGTH

Fire Mantra (mid) is a cheap 40 SP DoT — 100 per second for 8 seconds, 800 total — that goes straight through barriers and damage reduction: 54.8% vs Onmyoji.
Fudo Myoo (ult) is a 12-second DoT plus -20% opponent ATK — chipping them down while lowering their ceiling. 52.8% vs Fujin.

WEAKNESS

DoT is damage paid in time. Matches last about 115 seconds under 40 WPM but only about 14 seconds at 80+, so in fast matches the duration often goes unspent (48.9% in the 40–79 WPM bands).
Heals and reflect both beat it badly: 42.5% vs Miko, 44.5% vs Shogun.

Damage/sec130 × 12s (1,560 total)

Mastery trait 'Grudge Unending' is locked (switch to ☆5 to see it applied)

STRENGTH

Hour of the Ox is 45 SP for 1,010 damage and -18% opponent ATK over 12s; Demoness Mask adds -35% over 14s plus a DoT. Hannya is the only character carrying an ATK debuff on both skills (Yamabushi's ult has -20% as a rider).
Anyone who wins by trading blows simply gets smaller: 56.6% vs Busou and 56.4% vs Miko (57.8% and 58.0% at ☆5).

WEAKNESS

The debuff is a subtraction, so high-ATK Oni shrugs it off (45.5%). Fujin takes it 43.4% (42.8% at ☆5), and Shogun 45.6%.
0.90 ATK means little raw pressure. In 80+ WPM matches it drops to 47.1% (46.7% at ☆5) — the race ends before the debuff fully lands.

STRENGTH

Shikigami Strike lands 1,050 damage, a combo reset and -5% SP in one cast. ATK 1.17, third behind Oni and Raijin, keeps the plain typing dangerous too.
Pentagram Seal shuts combo accumulation off entirely for 10 seconds — Seiryu's combo guard cannot stop it (51.3% vs Seiryu at ☆0). 53.3% vs Ninja.

WEAKNESS

9,600 HP and 0.95 DEF is a thin frame; Yamabushi (45.2%) and Shogun (45.3%) both run it over.
No heal, no barrier — once behind, there is no way back. At ☆5, Busou (44.1%) and Samurai (44.3%) beat it badly too.

STRENGTH

11,200 HP and 1.10 DEF give the roster's largest effective HP. Stack the 1,610 (27s) and 2,300 (29s) barriers and Busou simply does not fall.
Refusing to trade blows beats Shogun's reflect (51.4% at ☆0, 54.5% at ☆5). At ☆5 it also takes Onmyoji 55.9% and Oni 55.2%.

WEAKNESS

Both skills are barriers, so the only damage is normal typing — on 0.87 ATK, the lowest in the roster.
Miko heals forever: 41.0%, and 39.0% at ☆5 — the most lopsided pair in the game. Under 40 WPM neither side can finish, the timeout goes to the higher remaining HP, and Busou falls to 12.8%.

The enhanced trait turns the finishing blow from 1,229 into 1,413. In slow sub-40 WPM matches with room for many casts, ☆5 Samurai wins 54.8%.

WEAKNESS

No sharp edge either. The skills are raw damage with no status effect attached.
Shogun's reflect (45.4%) and Seiryu (45.8%) are the bad matchups.

STRENGTH

Smoke Screen is a light 40 SP that bundles 1,020 damage and a stun. Ninja is the only one of the 14 with a stun at all (0.8s mid, 2.0s ult).
A stunned opponent can neither type nor cast. That beats Miko's healing: 52.2% (53.8% at ☆5).

WEAKNESS

0.90 DEF is paper. Loses to Onmyoji (46.7%), Fujin (46.9%) and Oni (47.0%).
No heal and no barrier, so a losing race cannot be reset. 48.0–48.8% in all four bands — a little short at every speed.

MATCHUP CHART 14 × 14

Full matchup chart

Row = your character, column = the opponent. Hovering a cell highlights the row and column and names the matchup above.

Measured at ☆0 (unenhanced). The most lopsided matchup is Miko into Busou at 59.0% — which makes Busou into Miko, at 41.0%, the lowest on the board. In slow sub-40 WPM matches alone it widens to 87.2%: neither side can finish, the timeout goes to the higher remaining HP, and Miko heals. It is a known issue the 14-character rebalance did not fix (in the 60–79 WPM band it is 53.0%).

Every cell is that pair's real-match win rate (20,000 battles in each of the four bands, weighted by share of matches). ◎ = 57.5%+, ○ = 52.5–57.5%, △ = 47.5–52.5%, ▲ = 42.5–47.5%, ✕ = below 42.5%. Draws (mostly mutual KOs) average 0.12% (0.15% at ☆5), so the chart is effectively antisymmetric across the diagonal. The most draws come from Shogun vs Samurai, where reflect causes mutual KOs: 1.1% at ☆0, 1.5% at ☆5.

HOW WE MEASURED

How we measured

We took the last 30 days of live 1v1 matches (396,456 player-match records, as of 2026-10-09) and split them into four typing-speed bands. Matches flagged for cheating and banned accounts are excluded.

WPM band	Share of matches	Avg WPM	Avg accuracy

In each band, both sides type at that band's average speed and accuracy across a full 14-character round-robin. Weighting the bands by their share of real matches gives what we call the real-match win rate. Ranked pairs you with players near your rating, so both sides are assumed to sit in the same band.

Why not a single point at the overall average (61.87 WPM / 89.43% accuracy)? Because the strongest characters change with typing speed. Flat-value skills — damage, heals, barriers, SP gain and drain — matter most in slow matches, while ATK and percentage effects — reflect, ATK buffs and debuffs, stuns — matter most in fast ones.

The simulator runs the live game code as-is: the keystroke model, skill resolution, the damage formula, and the ☆5 multipliers and mastery traits. Every character fires its skills on the same CPU timing, so human habits — such as typing flat out during a combo guard — aren't modeled. 2v2 and matches between different speed bands aren't measured.

READY?

The strongest pick is still your own fingers.

At ☆5 the free Samurai (51.1%) climbs to fourth overall, ahead of the 38,000 MC Kyuubi (49.1%). Enhancement beats rarity, and typing speed beats both. Before the tiers, play one match. Free, no login required.
