FAQ

Who should you raise first in Viking Rise?
The S tier (raise first) by the expert's rating includes: Havarl, Thorstein, Olaf, Greta, Sigrid. This is the core of the current meta — invest resources here first.
What does «don't raise» mean in the tier list?
Commanders at rank 0 don't pay back the resources in the current meta — don't prioritize raising them. It's a separate row at the bottom.
How is the tier list made?
It's the rating of an invited expert player: he ranked commanders by combat power (exact order, not rough tiers), 0 = don't raise. Resource gatherers are separate — an economy class not judged by combat. Updated with patches.
How is rank ★N different from a tier?
A tier (S/A/B/C/D) is a rough group. Rank ★N is the exact spot inside it: higher = higher raising priority. Cards in each tier are sorted by rank.
