How to Read This Tier List

A global tier is only the first filter.

Stage beats prestige

Carbon can be the correct choice for a new player even though it is C tier globally.

Unlock effort is part of power

Masterline and Noiseform are strong, but neither is a sensible “next purchase” for most players.

Pick a measurable goal

Profit, mutations, difficult catches, and support demand different rods and enchants.
