Best Path to Nowhere Tier List
In this tier list for Path to Nowhere, we will be giving an in-depth and detailed overview of some of the best sinners available to be collected in-game.

These Sinners are self-sufficient and do not need the help of other sinners to activate their true potential. Generally, team compositions are made around them.
- A-Tier Sinners – The sinners included in this tier also have great base stats but average abilities that either require some setup to be useful or whose usefulness is locked to a particular game mode. Some of these sinners act as supporting members in multiple team compositions.
- B-Tier Sinners – The sinners included in this tier have average base stats and average base abilities. These dolls are not recommended to use after the early-mid game as their abilities and their use falls off drastically.
