A tier list is a community-made ranking that represents playable characters in terms of strength in competitive online battles.
[[Category:Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy]]
 
Performance in match-ups, tournaments and maximum potential are often common metrics for tier lists in many different fighting games. While Dissidia 012 has many established powerhouses and a lot of counterpick potential, majority of the characters can compete to some extent. As such, tier lists should not be viewed as an absolute guide to picking up a character. Character representation and performance have fluctuated greatly throughout the years and tier lists may depict what was prominent at the time of their creation.

Before I start I just want to give a short write-up on how I actually went about creating this list. I used the old 2011 tier list as a base and went around asking different players about their thoughts on the tier placements of characters they played. It took over 2 months of data collection, designing and post creation data analysis to create the list and even though you may not agree with everything on it, I hope it will make for a good and interesting read nonetheless.
|Precision Jump || 10 (5) || 50 || Press X at high point of jump to jump higher than usual. || Peak of the jump. Recommended for [[Kain Highwind (Dissidia 012)|'''Kain''']] and [[Kefka Palazzo (Dissidia 012)|'''Kefka''']].
 
|-
Special thanks to @Wheelz, @Ultimaweapon2000 and @Irae for their significant contributions to the list and to Djqubi, Mericus, Danned, Muggshotter, END, Megalodon, Monxstar, LXD, RDF, Advent EVA and many others for their minor, yet still valued inputs.
|Precision Block || 90 (45) || 200 || Blocks are more effective when well-timed. || Staggers against Mid & High priority if blocked at the first 4 frames.
 
|-
=== Raw match-up tier list ===
|Precision Evasion || 90 (45) || 200 || Evasions are more effective when well-timed. || Extends invincibility to the end of a dodge if evaded within first 4 frames.
[[File:2017_tier_community_mu.png|800x600px]]
|-
 
|Concentration || 30 (15) || 130 || Bravery increases after not attacking for a length of time. || 10 % of raw BRV every 1.67 seconds (100F)
=== Weighted tier list ===
|-
[[File:2017_tier_community_weighted.png]]
|Concentration + || 60 (30) || 130 || Bravery increases after not attacking for a length of time. Stronger than Concentration. || 30 % of raw BRV every 1.67 seconds (100F).
 
|-
Now I’m sure many people are going to be asking "What is the weighted tier list?" Well, the weighted tier list uses the values of the raw matchup tier list and gives an adjusted value to each MU based on how good the opponent character is as well as how heavily they win or lose the matchup. For example, having a 6-4 matchup vs Ultimecia will be be "worth" more points in this tier list than having a 8-2 matchup versus Bartz. The reverse is also true; losing 3-7 to Ultimecia will "cost" a character more points than losing 3-7 to Cloud.
|Concentration ++ || 100 (50) || 130 || Bravery increases after not attacking for a length of time. Stronger than Concentration +. || 50 % of raw BRV every 1.67 seconds (100F)
 
|-
In many ways, this is what I would consider the "correct" average tier list placements for all Dissidia 012 characters.
|Snooze and Lose || 100 (50) || 200 || When foe doesn't attack for a certain length of time, foe's bravery begins to fall. || If opponent does not attack for 5 seconds, opponent loses 30% of raw BRV every 1.67 seconds (100F). Obsolete due to assist meter.
 
|-
=== Blind pick safety index ===
|Achy || 30 (15) || 130 || Gain "near death" status with more HP. || Activates under 26 % of max HP instead of 21 %.
[[File:2017_tier_community_bp.png]]
|-
 
|Achy + || 60 (30) || 130 || Gain "near death" status with even more HP. || Activates under 31 % of max HP.
What this conveys is how likely and how easily it will be to be caught in a significantly unfavourable MU when picking this character in a blind pick scenario. The lower the value, the less likely you are to face an unfavourable matchup.
|-
 
|Magic Shield || 20 (10) || 170 || When near death, magic damage cut by 20 %. ||
The values here are not absolute values with any true meaning, they are, however, relative values that can be used to compare between two characters. (I.e. Firion is significantly safer than Kefka, Garland is significantly safer than Terra)  
|-
 
|Physical Shield || 20 (10) || 170 || When near death, physical damage cut by 20 %. ||
=== Character counterpick potential ===
|-
[[File:2017_tier_community_counterpick.png]]
|Bravery Regen || 20 (10) || 170 || In EX Mode, gain bravery instead of regenerating HP. ||
 
|-
This is meant to show the opposite of what the Blind pick Safety index shows, Instead of conveying how easy it is to end up with an unfavourable matchup by picking a character, this shows how easy and likely it is to end up with a favourable matchup when picking the character in a blind pick scenario.
|Perseverance || 20 (10) || 170 || Decreases Wall Rush damage at times. || 20% chance of -95% BRV Wall Rush damage taken.
 
|-
The values here are much easier to use and compare compared to the Blind Pick Safety numbers, since for this index, we have a baseline value of 0 for CoD, Bartz and Laguna (because they have no favourable matchups lmao). A simpler way to interpret this list is, the higher the character, the greater their viability as a counterpick character in general.  
|Reflect Boost || 20 (10) || 100 || Increases magic damage when deflecting opponent's magic attack. ||
 
|-
=== Character matchup deviation ===
|Counterattack || 40 (25) || 200 || Critical hit rate rises when opponent is attacking. || +50 % critical hit rate.
[[File:2017_tier_community_mu_deviation.png]]
|-
 
|Sneak Attack || 40 (25) || 200 || Critical hit rate rises when attacking from behind. || +50 % critical hit rate.
This table shows the average matchup as well as the standard deviation of the matchups per character, sorted by lowest standard deviation first.
|-
 
|First Strike || 30 (15) || 130 || When landing the first BRV attack, critical hit rate of the first combo rises. || 100 % critical hit rate.
What this is meant to show is how reliably and consistently a character can be expected to perform when picked. A character with low standard deviation will perform close to what their average matchup is, regardless of the opponent they face.
|-
While a character with high standard deviation have wildly variable MUs and tend to either win, or lose matchups by a wide margin.
|EX Critical Boost || 60 (45) || 200 || Further boosts critical hit rate during EX Mode. || +25 % critical hit rate.
|-
|Cat Nip || 40 (25) || 200 || Boosts critical hit rate when opponent has chance of a one-hit victory. || +50 % critical hit rate.

Another way to view this data is as a "Main" viability index. Basically, the lower the standard deviation and the higher the average matchup values, the less likely you are to have a need for "Sub" characters to cover your main. (So Tifa, Prishe, Gilgamesh, Lightning and Vaan are the best Mains to have, while Emperor, Gabranth and Exdeath are the worst to have, in terms of consistency vs the whole cast)
=== EXP to HP / Bravery / EX / Assist Bonuses ===
EXP to HP/BRV/EX/AST bonuses per 1000 HP damage dealt (both online players being at Lv100, no EXP / calendar bonuses):
* HP: 10% conversion (+100 HP)
* BRV: 10% conversion (+100 BRV)
* EX: 0.1% conversion (+1.0% EX)
* AST: 0.3% conversion (+3.0% AST; 100% means a full gauge with two bars)
Multipliers for Quick Battle CPU strength:
* Minimal to Low: no multipliers
* Average: +20% EXP
* High (Equipment):  +40% EXP
* High (Actions): +80% EXP
* Very High: +120% EXP
* Maximum: +140% EXP
So for example, if you fight a CPU enemy with Maximum strength and deal 1,000 HP damage to them, you'll get 240 HP back.
