S Tier — Top Meta Characters

Dicehead

• Pros: Extremely high crit scaling; can snowball damage late game; works with curse-heavy or crit builds.
• Cons: Weak early game if you get unlucky with crit stacks.

CL4NK

• Pros: Late-game monster thanks to Revolver + Crit Happens synergy; great with Attack Speed and Crit Damage tomes; shield adds safety.
• Cons: Fragile and slow at the start; needs careful shrine and item planning.

Robinette

• Pros: Reliable piercing bow damage; gold-focused Stonks passive boosts scaling; strong with XP, Attack Speed, and AoE backups.
• Cons: Struggles early if you spend gold too soon; reliant on shrine control and good drops.

Megachad

• Pros: Aura can nuke mobs once size and cooldown upgrades stack; Flex passive grants invincibility windows.
• Cons: Slow movement early on, making dodging tricky before defenses improve.

A Tier — Strong but Slightly Situational

Calcium

• Pros: Speed Demon passive can push top DPS if you stay unharmed; pairs well with Turbo Skates and speed builds.
• Cons: Loses power if you take a hit, making it risky for new players.

Tony McZoom

• Pros: High mobility and strong projectile options; no fall damage.
• Cons: Weaker scaling than S-tier crit/gold builds; unique movement may take time to master.

Sir Oofie

• Pros: Extremely tanky with armor and lifesteal builds; beginner-friendly.
• Cons: Damage can fall off late game without AoE upgrades.

Bush

• Pros: Bullseye passive triggers big explosions; great for players with good aim.
• Cons: Requires manual precision to shine.

Birdo

• Pros: Excellent aerial mobility with double jump and glide; Tornado weapon strong with crit/size upgrades.
• Cons: Relies heavily on finding crit items to stay viable.

Amog

• Pros: Dominates with poison + lifesteal combos; excellent boss killer with Blackhole setups.
• Cons: Short attack range can make early survival hard.

B Tier — Average Options

Monke

• Pros: Fun high-jump and wall-climb mobility; bonus HP helps with survival.
• Cons: Falls behind in damage scaling compared to crit builds.

Ogre

• Pros: Steady damage growth per level; strong AoE with spinning axes when built right.
• Cons: Extremely slow early; needs sustain and speed gear to survive.

Ninja

• Pros: High dodge and agility for skilled players.
• Cons: Some bosses ignore evasion; heavy movement investment can slow damage growth.

Noelle

• Pros: Can support regen/armor builds.
• Cons: Weak overall damage and scaling compared to other heroes.

C Tier — Underperforming Characters

Athena

• Pros: Shield-based scaling and shrine farming potential.
• Cons: Very slow and weak early; highly item dependent.

Vlad

• Pros: Blood Magic can shine in long fights.
• Cons: Niche and hard to scale outside specialized builds.

Bandit

• Pros: Fun gimmicky weapon if luck is on your side.
• Cons: Weak mobility and limited damage builds.

Fox

• Pros: Can reach crazy speed with advanced movement tricks.
• Cons: Fragile and unreliable without lucky drops.

Spaceman

• Pros: Blackhole has crowd control potential.
• Cons: Weak early game, buggy XP passive, floaty movement.

Sir Chadwell

• Pros: Smooth movement for a knight class.
• Cons: Low damage and poor scaling despite tough unlock requirements.

If you’re aiming to climb the leaderboards or push further into harder waves, Dicehead and CL4NK are currently the most dominant picks. New players might prefer Sir Oofie or Tony McZoom for easier learning curves, while risk-takers can try Calcium or Robinette for explosive scaling. Avoid Spaceman and Sir Chadwell unless you’re playing for fun — they’re heavily outclassed right now.
