The Mimic Tier List Hub
How We Tier
Tier lists summarize community consensus after patch stabilization — not official CTStudio rankings. Entities tier by threat in standard and Nightmare contexts; lanterns tier by brightness, stability, cost, and mode suitability.
Tiers shift when balance patches drop — check updated dates. S-tier today may nerf tomorrow.
Subpages: entity tier list, lantern tier list.
Using Tier Lists
Entities: prioritize learning S and A tier threats first when progressing Jealousy — time spent on Grin Demon and Enzukai pays off.
Lanterns: pick best brightness within budget before cosmetic flex. Nightmare pushes lantern tiers up — dim lights drop entire letter grades.
Do not ignore C-tier entities — Hiachi is "learning tier" but still ends runs if ignored.
Nightmare & Event Adjustments
Nightmare elevates entity threat one tier effectively — Biwaki in open ground becomes A+ priority.
Jigoku and Witch Trials may temporarily bump specific entities during events.

Disagree with tiers? Community debate is healthy — base arguments on patch-specific clears, not nostalgia.
Official balance notes on CTStudio Discord supersede fan tier speculation.
