Demon Wedge Tier List Criteria and Notes

Ranking System

SS Rank Icon SS Tier Exceptional Demon Wedges that stand out as the most effective in the game. These often play a central role in the builds that these wedges are a part of.
S Rank Icon S Tier Great Demon Wedges that stand out as the most effective in the game. These also play a central role in the builds that these wedges are a part of, but may not be quite as overpowered as the SS-Tier picks. These may also be a little bit more situational than those in the highest tier.
A Rank Icon A Tier Demon Wedges that are impactful, but are either situational, or outshined by better options in the higher tiers.
B Rank Icon B Tier These Demon Wedges can provide value to characters, but are even more situational than the A-tier picks. Demon Wedges here can all be replaced by better Demon Wedges that provide better value.
C Rank Icon C Tier These Demon Wedges have limited viability and are best used only if you lack better options. Unless these serve a specific niche in your team, it's recommended to replace them with higher-tier Demon Wedges as soon as possible. What holds these back is usually a lack of impactful effects or buffs, or a tradeoff that makes it sub-optimal.
