Tier lists assume different investment
The 2023 discussion distinguishes fresh recruits from heroes near their stronger state. Endeavor, base Bakugo and WHM Bakugo are prominent examples. It also contains opposing claims about Aizawa versus Stain. No common equal-build dataset settles those comparisons. [S04]
Normal button versus normal damage
Several sources classify Stain's E frenzy and Tokoyami's liberated attacks as skill damage. This supports Mustard and weakens automatic Nomu/Ecto recommendations for those windows. The claim is historical community testing; verify on a modified client if behavior changed. [S05, S08]
Ultimate use can lower DPS
Iida E-to-R, Mastermind on Mineta and generic ultimate spam are disputed. Hawks is the clearest positive ultimate build. A good card trigger does not mean the entire ultimate animation is worth its opportunity cost. [S06, S07, S09]
Talent routes change with the plan
WHM Deku L/BR prioritizes smoother Triple Strike access; L/TR has damage/status arguments. Tamaki advice splits normal and skill builds. All Might routes trade protection for damage. Preserve those assumptions instead of declaring one route universally optimal. [S03, S44, S46]
AI and Arena are different evidence
AI often needs shields and reliable openers. Arena requires manual timing and historically normalized stats. Kirishima's counter and Ojiro's movement illustrate why overall PvE placement does not settle manual PvP value. Tag Team stat scaling remains uncertain. [S17, S40-S42]
Access and chronology
The comprehensive sheet could not be downloaded without authorization during this run. Its publication thread says parts were unfinished; a 2024 reader also called it incomplete. Its unseen character entries are not reproduced. Historical banners, advertised web update dates and community anecdotes do not verify a 2026 server meta. [S26, S43a, S53]
