Signature Ability Tier List Explanation

S-Tier

Ability Reason
Rabbid PeachHeal ・ This signature ability is one of the few ways characters can heal in combat, making it essential in many battles.
・ Several skills make the ability more effective over time.
LuigiSteely Stare ・ Steely Stare is the best counter signature ability due to its high range.
・ Targets from far away will often try to move closer to get within range.
・ The Ghost Bullet skill makes this ability extremely useful.

A-Tier

Ability Reason
PeachTeam Barrier ・ Can protect several team members from damage for at least one turn.
・ Skills can be used to increase its duration and range.
・ Can be used to get past the detection range of enemy counters.
MarioHero Sight ・ Similar to Steely Stare but with less range.
・ Skills like Additional Hero Sight Charge and Sight Again allow you to use it multiple times.
・Great when dealing with multiple moving targets.
Rabbid MarioCounter Blow ・ Similar to Hero Sight and other counter abilities but only works against enemies attacking the character.
・ More useful if the enemy has already settled in an attacking position.
・ Can inflict more damage than other counters, especially with skills like Pay Back.

B-Tier

Ability Reason
EdgeStormblade ・ Similar to other counter abilities but with a wider area of effect and significantly less range.
・ Since it only has 7m of base range, it is only useful against nearby enemies.
・ Though Edge will be in a more vulnerable position, Mountain Stance can help mitigate this.
BowserRabbid Mechakoopas ・ Best used when Bowser is surrounded by multiple enemies.
・ The bombs can only travel a limited distance per turn.
・ All bombs will often only target one enemy instead of multiple enemies around Bowser.

C-Tier

Ability Reason

・ Takes longer to cooldown than most abilities.
・ Rosalina is not mobile enough to effectively use it where it is needed most.

yes. Ennui is insanely good

I would swap Ennui and Healing, honestly. Ennui is super useful - it can shut down a big group for 2 turns, letting you pick them off while doing +30% damage or just ignore them entirely while eliminating another group first. While Healing isn't useful unless you *really* need healing so badly that you can't just use an item or two to fix it.
