AOTR Families Tier List

Patch 2.3 Last reviewed · 2026-05-09 12 families ranked
Direct answer. Reiss and Ackerman families dominate Raid IV after the patch 2.3 rebalance — both carry strong passive stacks and unique titan synergies. Yeager and Tybur are the reliable A-tier picks. Roll past Grisha and Fritz unless you're sitting on a free reroll.

Methodology

Rankings weight family passive strength, titan-shifter synergy, raid-IV clear rate, and PvP viability. We cross-reference the in-game family bluebook, community reroll polls, and top 10 leaderboard family usage. Re-reviewed each patch.

FAQ

Which AOTR family should I reroll for?
Reiss and Ackerman are the top targets. Reiss is the best PvE family for Raid IV clears; Ackerman dominates PvP. Yeager is the safe A-tier if Mythics keep missing.
How do family rerolls work?
Use a Family Reroll ticket from the shop, event reward, or code. Rolls are weighted by the rarity table — Mythic ~0.4-0.5%, Legendary ~1.5-1.8%. Pity is not implemented.
Does family matter more than titan shifter?
Family provides a consistent passive; titan shifter is a burst cooldown. Most builds prioritize family for the always-on multiplier, then pair a titan that fits the family passive.
Is Fritz really D-tier? It feels iconic.
It's mechanically weakest: no meaningful offensive passive and starter-grade stat lines. Lore prestige, yes. Raid performance, no.
When does the tier list refresh?
We re-review within 48 hours of any live patch notes. Patch 2.4 previews hint at a Grisha rework that could shift it up.
