The Make Drama: MAD tier list ranks 47 characters from S to D based on three current community tier lists. Since these lists are based on the Korean server, which is ahead of the global release, some characters, balance changes, and rankings may not match the current global version.
This list is useful if you want to know which characters are currently considered the strongest and which ones are better left for specific situations.

Each character’s tier is determined by comparing their placement across three current Make Drama: MAD tier lists. The middle ranking is used, which prevents a character from being pushed too high or too low just because one list rates them unusually.
Characters within the same tier are ordered according to their average placement. This means the character at the top of a tier generally received stronger rankings across the source lists.
The list is rebuilt every week, allowing it to keep up with new versions, balance changes, and character banners.
Korean Server vs Global Server
Keep in mind that this is currently a Korean-server-based tier list. The Korean version is ahead of the global release, so some characters may have different abilities, balance changes, or availability when playing on the global server.
As more global-server tier lists become available, they will eventually become the basis for the main ranking, while the Korean-server rankings will move to a separate tab.
If you’re starting Make Drama: MAD, the S-tier characters are the safest choices to prioritize, while A-tier characters are also strong additions to your roster. B-tier characters can still work well, especially when they fit your team composition.
However, don’t treat the list as an absolute ranking. The meta can change with new characters and balance updates, so it’s worth checking the tier list again after major updates and banners.
