how to make a tier list
A tier list is a visual ranking: items (characters, weapons, maps, anything) sorted into horizontal rank bands, from strongest to weakest. The mechanic itself is simple, drag each item into a band, but the value lies in how the tiers are named, colored and ordered, and that is a choice made by whoever builds it, not an objective fact about the items.
It is the most widely used convention; applying the preset generates all 5 tiers already colored and ordered, each with a fresh id.
Adds one step above S to separate a handful of items from the rest of the top group, without changing the total of 5 bands.
It is the only preset with 7 bands instead of 5, useful when the item count is large and a single "D" band does not separate things enough.
Any of them. Since you add your own items (text or images), you can make a tier list of Genshin characters, Valorant agents, weapons, maps, skins, or even things outside games. The tool is generic and doesn't ship a fixed list for any game, so you have full control over what appears.
No. It's a visually organized opinion ranking made by whoever builds it; the game itself does not define S-to-D tiers, those letters are a popular convention borrowed from older competitive rankings.
There is no fixed ceiling in the data structure: tiers can be freely created, renamed and reordered beyond the ready-made presets, which range from 5 to 7 bands.
Yes, because the state is saved locally in the browser under its own key. But clearing site data, switching browsers or switching devices will not bring the list back, which is why exporting it as an image is the way to make sure it survives outside that one browser.
Yes, the mechanic is not tied to any specific game: items are free text and image, so the same tier structure works for characters, foods, movies or any comparable list.
Tip: you can also paste an image (Ctrl+V).
The tier list is built entirely in your browser. Images, items and the exported PNG are never sent to any server, everything stays in this browser's local storage.
