Digest written by fable from TacticalBreakfast, AK Tier List (ex-GamePress) · 2026-10-23
Tier A+ on the Snipers tier list. A powerful unit with huge range, utility, great damage and a quality AFK skill, though a near direct powercreep in Ray and later Wiš'adel lower her ceiling and she looks less impressive than many remember.
- S3M3
- Story Breakpoint; S3M1 is the breakpoint. S3 is her big flashy boss-killing skill with large effective DPH on her big range thanks to the DEF-ignore talent.
- S2M3
- Story A+, Advanced A. She is a strong M6, so consider both skills if you plan to use her; which to start with depends on what you want from her.
No single stop point: one sheet rates her a strong M6 and says to consider both S3M3 and S2M3, with S3M1 as the story breakpoint.

Typhon has one of the more dramatic drops in public opinion between her reveal on CN and her release on global. She came out after a few rather middling banners, and looked pretty amazing then. She had huge range, utility, great damage, and a quality AFK skill to boot! But she came at the forefront of a hefty streak of powercreep, and by her release on global there had been a number of much more powerful banners including a near direct powercreep in Ray, and they'd both get powercrept by Wiš'adel not long after! It all makes Typhon look a lot less impressive than many people will remember. That bit of history aside, Typhon is still a powerful unit. All of those bits about her range and damage are still true today. There's just a lot of competition now too and her ceiling is quite a bit lower as every new broken banner passes. With that in mind, Typhon is a strong M6, so you'll want to consider both if you plan to use her, but the primary skill to start with will depend on what you want out of her and her other options. S3 is her big flashy boss killing skill. It has a large effective-DPH (due to the DEF-ignore Talent) on her big range, and can track enemies wherever they might wa
