The Team

Every build, tested by one of the people below before it earns a rank — no ghost-written rankings, no recycled wikis.

End-game tester, 800+ hours in-game, Diamond rank. Every build is tested under real conditions before publishing. Specializes in min-maxing across genres — MMO tank and healer rotations, ARPG and gacha stat optimization, hero-shooter team comps — with a particular focus on how a meta actually shifts patch to patch, not just what topped the chart last season. Cross-checks every ranking against community consensus before calling anything S-tier.

Pro Gamer & Meta Analyst

Former ranked competitive player turned meta analyst — breaks down patch notes and datamined values line by line before writing a word, cross-referencing official changelogs against community parse and DPS-meter data to confirm whether a buff or nerf actually moved the needle in practice, not just on paper. Prefers a table over a paragraph whenever one conveys the same information faster.

Builds and benchmarks PC hardware and gaming peripherals hands-on before recommending anything — no spec-sheet guessing. Finds the fastest, most efficient path to a working setup or verdict, then writes it up the same way: no lore preamble, no filler, just what to buy and why. Every build or peripheral is tested to a genuinely working state before publishing, not just simulated on paper.

How the team works

Three writers, three ways of breaking down a build — but the same rule for all of them: nothing gets ranked until it's been run under real conditions. When a patch shifts the meta, whoever covered that build retests it rather than leaving a stale tier sitting at the top. Full detail on the testing process itself is on the About page.
