KOF LEGEND WIKICompare the placements before you invest
This comparison uses Dzaky’s Gamegoin ranking, which discusses Champion-rarity skills, and Serhii Patskan’s Power Up Gaming ranking. Each column keeps its original tier scale. An SS on one list has no defined numerical equivalence to an S on another.
| Fighter | Gamegoin | Power Up Gaming | How to use this comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| K’ / K-Dash | SS | B | Large disagreement. Confirm rarity and the exact skill set before making an expensive upgrade. |
| Haohmaru | SS | C | Gamegoin values stacked area damage. Compare the time needed to reach that effect with the fight you need to clear. |
| Chizuru Kagura | S | S | Both place her high. A useful shortlist entry when you want to examine a utility option. |
| Bao | A | S | A support candidate across both lists. Compare the heal available on your copy with your team’s actual sustain gap. |
| Iori Yagami | A | S | An investment candidate across both lists. Check your accessible rarity and copies before replacing a developed fighter. |
| Orochi Yashiro | S | S | Both place him high. Review his tank/taunt role against the reason your current lineup loses. |
| Mai Shiranui | B | S | Substantial disagreement. Keep the decision tied to your copy and role requirements. |

This is a source-based investment comparison. The rankings have been checked against the linked articles, and this site has not run combat benchmarks. The comparison covers the seven rows shown.
Check the copy you actually own
The card shows K’ as a Scissors-style Fighter with DPS and Assassin tags. Those labels help identify the copy being discussed. They do not establish how its upgraded skills will perform on your account.
Gamegoin places K’ and Haohmaru at the top of its ranking, citing single-target damage for K’ and area damage that follows stack buildup for Haohmaru. Its article describes extra effects at Champion rarity. Use that ranking after checking which of those effects your current copy has unlocked.
Power Up Gaming places K-Dash in B and Haohmaru in C. The available articles do not establish a controlled, same-rarity comparison that resolves that gap. Keep the conflicting placements visible when making a resource decision.
Turn the shortlist into an upgrade decision
- Name the missing job. Review the battle that stopped you and identify whether you need more damage, survivability or control.
- Match the relevant fighter. Use Chizuru Kagura or Orochi Yashiro as candidates to inspect where the sources agree. Use the disputed rows as a prompt to inspect the skill condition that matters to your fight.
- Check rarity and copies. Read the current and next-unlock skill descriptions in your client. Compare the reachable upgrade with the ranking’s stated assumptions.
- Keep the cost in the comparison. Compare your developed fighter with the actual replacement you can build, including the materials needed to reach the claimed benefit.
The sequence is our editorial decision method. It uses the source disagreements to decide what to verify before spending. A complete roster ranking and tested team presets remain outside this page’s scope.
Who should I shortlist first in KOF Legend?
Chizuru Kagura and Orochi Yashiro receive S placements in both ranking sources compared here. Bao and Iori Yagami also receive A or S placements. Treat this as a source-based shortlist, then check your fighter’s rarity, skills and the role your team needs.
Why do KOF Legend tier lists disagree?
Published lists use different assumptions and explanations. Gamegoin explicitly discusses Champion-rarity skills, while the Power Up Gaming table gives a different overall order. Their placements for K’ and Haohmaru diverge sharply. Confirm the assumptions before applying a ranking to your account.
