Frequently Asked Questions

How often is the tier list updated?+
We update the tier list after every major patch and balance change. Minor adjustments are made weekly based on community feedback and win-rate data from competitive play.
Why is the Scout Walker S tier?+
The Scout Walker earns S tier due to its unmatched reconnaissance value, speed, and flanking damage. In coordinated crews, information advantage is the most powerful tool, and the Scout Walker provides it in abundance.
Are lower-tier Tramplers useless?+
Not at all. Lower-tier Tramplers excel in specific niches. The Ore Hauler is the best resource farmer, and the Wreckage Crawler is the only free starter option. Tier rankings reflect overall power, not absolute usefulness.
Does the meta change often?+
The meta shifts with each major update. Hologryph typically releases balance patches every 4-6 weeks. Sign up for our Discord to get notified about tier list changes as they happen.
