Getting Started: What Is Dunk City Dynasty?

Developed by Exptional Global in partnership with NetEase, Dunk City Dynasty puts NBA stars like Stephen Curry, Paul Pierce, and Giannis Antetokounmpo into a high-energy, multiplayer-driven streetball format.

It features:

• 3v3 Half-Court Matches
• 5v5 Full Court Battles (2v2 player)
• Ranked PvP and more
• Full player customization
• Real-time action meets strategy with team-based synergy

Player Roles Breakdown

Every match is won not by raw star power—but by understanding role synergy. Here’s what each position does best:

Position	Description
PG (Point Guard)	Controls tempo, sets up offense, excels in passing & steals
SG (Shooting Guard)	Deadly from deep; good off-ball movement
SF (Small Forward)	Balanced scorer/defender with agility
PF (Power Forward)	Screens, rebounds, tough inside presence
C (Center)	Shot-blocker, post-up scorer, rebound machine

Pro Tip: Don’t play 3 scorers. A winning squad has a playmaker, a finisher, and a defender/rebounder.

2025 Tier List: Best Players by Category

Here’s the meta snapshot as of global launch, based on competitive play, synergy, and versatility.

S-Tier (Meta Scorers):

These are the most dominant characters in competitive play. Picked or banned in high-ELO ranked and tournament-level games. Most S-tier teams include one of Curry/Luka for offense, LeBron for lockdown defense, and Gasol or a flexible big like Bam to hold the paint.

Player	Role	Strengths
Stephen Curry	PG / Scorer	Unrivaled 3-point shooter, thrives with strong screens and spacing. Most viable long-term DPS.
Marc Gasol	C / Anchor	Elite post player, top rebounder, offensive and defensive big. Great synergy with pick-and-pop shooters.
LeBron James	SF / Defender	Shuts down key threats (Curry, Luka). Elite defensive presence with scoring versatility.
Luka Doncic	PG / Playmaker	High-tier passer, hard to intercept, massive carry potential, and easy to upgrade (Superstar rarity).
S.G. Alexander	PG / Playmaker	Dominant 1v1 presence. Requires constant double coverage, great for breaking weak defenses.

A-Tier:

Great characters in the right hands or with proper synergy. These players can dominate but aren’t plug-and-play like S-tier picks. Most A-tier players can shift to S-tier depending on matchup or team comp. Giannis, Julio, and Bam especially shine when paired with proper support.

Player	Role	Notes
Giannis Antetokounmpo	PF / Slasher	Incredible when Ult is active, but weak against elite bigs like Gasol. Considered A+ or S- tier.
Paul George	SF / Balanced	“Budget KD,” with solid defense and an underrated alt.
Jordan Clarkson	SG / All-Around	Versatile scoring threat, good for F2P or mid-skill players. Also, good 3-pointer.
Russel Westbrook	PG / Handles	Elite dribbler and finisher, but tough to master.
Zion Williamson	PF / Shot Blocker / Dunker	Block everything and good rebound, post specialist. Weak lateral movement.
Bam Adebayo	C / Mobile Big	Slightly better Capela with mobility; great paint control.
Clint Capela	C / Shot Blocker	Paint-camper. Not mobile but dominant when used to guard the rim.
Klay Thompson	SG / Shooter	Budget Curry. High shooting consistency but less game-breaking.
Devin Booker	SG / Hybrid	Sits at the bottom of A-tier. Works well in synergy-focused builds with LeBron or Bam.

B-Tier:

Can perform well, but have notable flaws, poor scaling in high ELO, or require precise synergy. B-tier players are great when filling missing roles or while leveling up. Use them as placeholders until your core S/A-tier roster is formed.

Andrew Wiggins	SF / Slasher	A “budget LeBron”; solid but underwhelming in top play.
DeMar DeRozan	SG / Mid-Range	Good mid-range and defense, lacks threat from deep.
Jamal Murray	PG / Shooter	Fundamentally average. No standout mechanics.
Anderson	PF / Utility	Jack-of-all-trades; doesn’t really excel at anything.
Kuminga	PF / Driver	On par with Zion; lacks versatility.
Fu Zhi (When mastered)	SG / Stealer	C-tier by default, steal potential.
Chris Paul	PG / Support	Only offers teammate buffs. Not a scoring threat.

C-Tier:

Player	Role	Reason
Seth Curry	SG / Shooter	Starter/Newbie friendly and good guaranteed 3 point shooter
Steven Adams	C / Post Big	Too slow; outclassed by Bam, Gasol, and Capela.
Jusuf Nurkic	C / Post Big	Similar issue as Adams; slow and offers little versatility.

Game Modes Explained

Mode	Description
3v3 11-Point Game	Fast-paced 3v3; first to 11 wins
3v3 Dynasty	Manager-style play with AI strategy control
3v3 Ranked Match	Competitive PvP with no duplicate picks
5v5 Full Court Run	Classic mode; 2 minutes of full gameplay
3v3 Classic	Temporary team-building event from random player pool

Tips for Winning

1. Know Your Player Skills

Each player has 7 skills: 6 passives and 1 Ultimate. Learn when and how they trigger—don’t just spam buttons.

2. Rebound Smart

Jump when the ball flashes white, and watch the icon on the floor for landing position.

3. Upgrade Wisely

Leveling requires Training Drinks and Advanced Drill Tickets. Focus on core team players, don’t waste on benchwarmers.

4. Play to Your Role

PGs should facilitate. SGs shoot. Bigs rebound. Don’t try to be the hero with every possession.

5. Court & Sneaker Customization

Boost style score and minor stats with custom sneakers and courts, combine function and flair.

Progression System

• Level Up Players → Basic stat gains
• Skill Upgrades → Enhance passives & Ultimates
• Gear & Sneakers → Aesthetic + bonus stats
• Court Upgrades → Boost style score and match influence

F2P Tip: Log in daily, do your drills, and participate in every event to collect Star Vouchers for character draws.

Final Thoughts

Dunk City Dynasty is more than just arcade basketball, it’s a team strategy game masked in stylish dunks and crossovers. By focusing on team synergy, role awareness, and tactical upgrades, even casual players can rise up the ranks.

Whether you’re playing for fun, for fashion, or for the top of the leaderboard, this game rewards those who learn, adapt, and play smart. So lace up, hit the blacktop, and show them why it’s called your dynasty.

What to Expect in the Future

While current legends like Curry, LeBron, and Luka dominate the game, early teases from official Dunk City Dynasty materials suggest more celebrity players and NBA stars are on the way. Expect upcoming campaigns featuring:

• New superstar drops tied to NBA milestones or collaborations
• All-time greats or legendary duos (think Kobe & Shaq?)
• Seasonal campaigns with exclusive unlocks
• Possible localized events for the Philippines — given the game’s rising popularity here, don’t be surprised to see PH-specific tournaments, influencers, or even Filipino basketball legends joining the campaign meta in the future.

With a global esports scene brewing and regular tier shakeups, Dunk City Dynasty is only just getting started.
