A-Tier

There is a great selection of Animals in the A-Tier. What keeps them from joining their peers in the S-Tier is their relatively less impressive Speed stats or passives.

This tier is home to the least reliable Animals in the game. Their Speed is nothing special, and their passive abilities (if any) don’t make up for their lack of decent stats. They are only worth keeping in the early game, when the number of available options is low and you lack the resources to get better Animals.
