Use it safely
A launch list is a decision aid
- Keep at least one strong damage unit and one control or support option.
- Do not spend scarce resources only because one page assigns an S.
- Check whether a ranking assumes a specific trait, equipment item, or evolved form.
- Recheck after patches; this page describes the release meta, not every future update.
