S Tier These Pals are still solid additions to your team and can help you take down almost any boss in the game.
A Tier Pals in A Tier are often the best to use in the later part of the game but are usually outclassed by Pals in the SS and S Tier.
B Tier B Tier Pals are often amazing at the middle point of the game but will eventually fall off once you get to more difficult areas.
