Viability Ranking

Here is The Arena's Viability Ranking from OP Rank to F Rank. OP is the most useful choice on your team and F is not recommended. Only legendary monsters are covered since you have no reason not to use them.

++ Disclaimer ++

This list is based around monster's performance in The Arena (PvP), NOT Team Wars, Battlegrounds, Duels, etc. Also, the monsters are all ranked based on how they are at Rank 5.

OP Rank
These monsters are too good for the SS+ tier, so they get their own special tier. By far the best monsters in the entire game. It takes a lot of patience and time (and in most cases, real money) to get them.

 * Warmaster Thalassa

OP-

SS Rank
Restricted to the best of the best. These Legendary monsters are very good but cut just short of OP rank for having either lower stats or just weaker moves compared to OP rank. Despite that, they're easily some of the best in the game, and a team should really consider having any of them.
