Best Fire Force characters

49 ELO points separate Shinra Kusakabe from Arthur Boyle at the top of the Fire Force ranking, after 25926 duels.

Shinra Kusakabe dominates Company 8 with 1362 ELO points and a 67% win rate across 85 duels, establishing clear distance from his closest rival. Arthur Boyle holds second place at 1313 points, but the 49-point gap reveals how decisively voters favor the protagonist. Maki Oze rounds out the podium at 1266 ELO, while Akitaru Obi and Tamaki Kotatsu sit nearly tied at fourth and fifth with 1227 and 1225 points respectively. The tight clustering from rank 2 downward contrasts sharply with Shinra's commanding lead, suggesting voters have a firm favorite but debate the rest. At the bottom, Victor Licht and Vulcan Joseph struggle to gain traction, landing at ranks 8 and 9 with 1086 and 1058 ELO points. Their low placement indicates that technical expertise and support roles resonate less with the community than frontline firepower and protagonist appeal.

This ranking draws from 25926 duels contributed by 1314 players, comparing all 9 members of Company 8. The data was updated on 10 October 2026. Whether you align with Shinra's overwhelming popularity or champion one of the underdogs languishing in single digits, the TopList remains open for your vote.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
