Frequently asked questions

What is the best faction in Broken Arrow right now?+

Balance shifts with each patch, so faction strength is close at the top level. Our tier list is built from live match data across ELO brackets — check the Meta page for the current win-rate split between the USA and Russia rather than relying on a fixed answer.

How is the Broken Arrow unit tier list calculated?+

Each unit is ranked by its pick rate and performance in real ranked matches, weighted by ELO. S-tier units are both popular and high-impact; lower tiers are situational picks. The list auto-updates as fresh match data comes in.

Do tier lists matter for a beginner?+

Yes — for a new player a tier list is the fastest way to avoid wasting deck points on weak units. But map, doctrine and playstyle matter more than tier once you understand the basics.
