that 41% damage buff is literally a joke item. In co-op, all enemies have 40% extra health, meaning that that item ultimately gives them a 1% damage buff. If you get it in single player however, it's really good

Bullet’s #1 for me. I hate contact damage... that’s it, really. Also swords in a gun game are pretty rad.

Convict - up close and personal Pilot - reasource hoarder Hunter - resource gatherer Marine - gun expert Bullet - better up close and personal Robot - no blood electric man Paradox - op or shite Gunslinger - op fan service Cultist - childhood friend That's my personal take on all the gungeoneers

Robot; If you’re a new player, he’s trash, if you’re a new player you don’t have him

"Second worse starting item" *Pokes at pilot*

The robot is god tier I have a 100% win rate with him because i have played one run with him and got vulcan cannon, yari launcher, hero bandana and lament configurum *on the first floor* EDIT: 75% win rate ;-;

Enemies tier list of how deadly they are, basically the boss one but for the gundead entirely instead

Pilot is the Mario because of the fact he is also the one who flies the plane out in exit, and is the character most new players start with because he just looks like a normal person and not having anything really special going for him. He’s not really good but he’s the second most recognizable. The most recognizable being bullet obviously.

Characters in Order: (Again, the time Stamps are of Reto's original placements and Comments of the Character) Gunslinger - 1:19 Convict - 2:33 Hunter - 3:56 Marine - 6:13 Pilot - 8:14 Robot - 11:01 Bullet - 13:51 Paradox - 16:01 Cultist - 17:37

The main problem with convict is that if your playing the game correctly, your not getting damaged and thus never triggering the photo. And what that leaves us with is a bad starting pistol, a mediocre active and a shotgun that makes the hunter's crossbow look like an S tier. And I think making this character good is as simple as giving her cigarettes. This would let the convict proactively make use of her photo dmg boost reacting to her getting hit. And before you say "giving her cigarettes at the start of the game would be too op" my personal favourite character the pilot starts off with some rather op stuff aswell, this is simply a small buff in order to make her gimmick ACTUALLY work

I'll put it simply. Paradox can either be Void-Core Launcher tier, or Sawed Off Shotgun tier.

I love Pilot, in the course of the run he's the best, but only with a kind of hard early Game.

I like pilot, the lockpick is pretty good to have considering that a bunch of important things are locked with a keyhole, also his charm makes the shop still affordable at the 4th and 5th chamber.

Pilot has a rough start, but once you get going he’s a very solid character. Also Robot isn’t fun to play for me, because you can still get heart items and it just annoys me so much. The Robot starts with good items, but whenever I play it I’m just thinking “Why aren’t I playing Bullet or Pilot right now?”

Cultist is the hardest character for me because I will never be able to use it

I really like Convict, I personally think Sawed-Off is a decent “get off of me” tool because of its knockback, and Revolver being Semi-Auto allows it to output some pretty fair damage for a starter weapon. Photo is pretty situational, but it’s ok if you need to kill stuff in a pinch. Molotov is really nice early on if you can use it well, but yeah most actives are gonna be better generally. Overall, I find Convict a really fun sort of erratic playstyle that requires the perfect amount of focus for me.

Personally Convict was the one I first beat the Dragun with so I still have a soft spot for her but... Yeah, she is not a great character strength-wise. Her past is cool tho

Ranking every past, we need to have that.

The molotov is temporary But Doom is eternal

Hunter out of all the starting characters is my favourite

Usually games have the beginner characters some of the better ones, but not with this game. I actually like it that way because it makes the game significantly more challenging when starting out

Convict was the first character I killed the past on, the run I had was so superbly busted, I had about 6 bonus hearts and only 2 of them were master rounds

I think the hunter is the best character out of the four main gungeoneers

Reto out here giving *Big Farm* free advertisement

Yes Gunslinger is relaxing, if i can actually unlock the bastard. The process to unlock is exhausting

Finally SOMEONE who understands the amazingness of cultist. (I was cultist for Halloween)

One time I played the pilot a got the whole payday gang, with the bag, the drill, and the mask. Most OP run I’ve ever had, because I had a rail gun with the doom shotgun taped to it

Robot + Raibow = Destrution

Robot is also REALLY good with rainbow runs being able to junk all of the chests and having a chance to start with armor synthesizer

Nobody talking about Cultist in the comments, he's low key my favorite character to play, he's basically Luigi in Mario, he's extremely useful if u play in co-op, he has the ability to bring back his ally with full health and if he's alone, he gets a 2 walkspeed boost and a 41% higher damage. If the other player is using The Gunslinger, it affects both of the players, which is extremely strong and powerfull

Okay so for coop his 2nd item isn't that broken because the 41% dmg only counteracts the coop 40% hp up. Movent speed is still movment, but the item is better in solo.

We’re is my enemy list

I started a week ago, I haven’t unlocked anyone, but my favorite is the pilot, since he can carry 2 actives and the lock pick is fun along with his passives, and most importantly, the dad jog I really like the luck of it

The Hunter is my favourite out of the main four bc crossbow is amazing as a starter. And you can pet the dog :3

What about a tier list of the mobs based on how deadly they are (just like you did with the bosses)?

Gunslinger > Marine > Pilot > Hunter > Bullet > Robot > Convict. Pilot is great because you can reset the run until you have both chests on the first floor and the Oubliette. Marine is great because his kit is so simple. You don’t need strategy to maximize his potential. Turn your brain off and shoot.

As a member of the Cultist cult this is a banger supreme. Joking aside this is a cool list

I love the character that appears in co-op mode

I didn't think that convict was that bad but marine definitely should've been in banger tier as he is so good as a starter character and by far the most balanced with no flaw

And here is me who beat the game only with the Convict :(

If my Fruity Boy ain't S tier, I lose all respect.

Ranking the Best Synergies Pls.

I think Pilot is totally underrated for experienced players. The guaranteed 2x active item is huge. Plus, if you plan on going to the oubliette, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be short on keys in the early game. With the lockpick, it’s likely you’ll get at least one item on par or better than other starter items. You don’t miss out on anything by failing to lockpick. I don’t really notice the discount much but it’s a nice perk. The worst part is getting a master round on the first boss. It can be really challenging and annoyingly slow if you don’t get a decent item by then.

I like playing with the gunslinger/lich only to see the cools synergy,If i want have a real run i use the robot love his Basic gun.

The thing with the Pilot is that with the Trusty Lockpick you have the potential to either utterly ruin your run, or streamroll every Chamber if used correctly. And the shopping discount is a lifesaver sometimes.

I have nearly 1000 hours in this game (I only point this out to demonstrate that I am quite experienced) and I am a strict Convict player. She gets a lot of hate, but I think she is top-tier. Her pistol has the highest DPS of all the 'normal' starter characters' pistols, while the sawed-off can one-shot Gundead early on and, in later levels, is great for blasting baddies into pits. The Molotov Cocktail has a number of uses in the early game if used appropriately/strategically (one of my favorites is throwing it onto the Cannon Balrog when he disappears, as it still damages him while he is 'gone,' thought it cannot kill it) and being able to do double damage, albeit only for a short time, is incredible. People hate on The Photo because 'It only works when you get hit. And if you're good, you won't get hit. So, it's useless.' While it is true that you can only make use of it when you get hit, it is not always the case that people can beat the game without getting it. I would be curious to know how many new players would have been able to take down a boss if they were able to do double damage for 12-15 seconds of the fight (even more, depending on how many hearts one has). I mean, if one were to get a boss to near-death, it is easy to argue that "If you had been able to deal double damage with x gun during this time, you would have been able to take him/it down." I am sure even many a veteran player has narrowly lost to the Lich or the double Beholder boss fight from a glitched chest because they were not able to take down that last 10% of health. Ultimately, I suppose, it depends on play style. I like to move fast and mow down Gundead quickly. As the pilot with only your starter pistol, for instance, taking down two Gun Nuts that spawn in the same room can take quite a long time, relatively. And if you make it to the boss of the chamber with just your starter pistol, that can be an annoying fight, too (it is not extremely likely, but it is not unheard of either, especially if you plan on going to The Abbey). The reality is, though, that most characters, essentially, end up 'being the same' for the last half of the game after taking down the Rat.

Everyone is triple S tier, but I'll allow you to say one is better than the other

me checking enter the gungeon tier lists on youtube again to see if anyone has given proper respect to the pilot.

I did not realize how op the Gunslinger really was until I experienced it... The moment I get a decent gun, It basically confirmed that my run is won. That perfect Synergy effect is just ridiculous. I got that Bullet Crown thing and absolutely nothing could resist me, bosses are easy with Gunslingers but maybe you could get fucked over with a stupidly full enemy room, well that fuckign crown with every synergy and even the flying throne makes cleaning room easy as hell... So yeah, the Gunslinger is really op, and I can see why it's so annoying to unlock... Tho Paradox was the most annoying one tbh

Can you do a “how much I like them” tier list for bosses?

A tier list idea for enter the gungeon is the gun tier list but factoring in that the player has lich eye bullets

Gunslinger may be the strongest, but after a few times it's not fun anymore because he's so op. Looking for synergies becomes pointless because you get them for free. I love getting synergies on the regular way. It feels much more rewarding then. My favorite characters to play are pilot and paradox. Paradox for the randomness and pilot for the ability to collect so many items/guns with his lockpicks and extra item slot. And decreased shop prices of course.

The Marine is what you use when you start out, and Hunter is what you use if you don't have Bullet or Gunslinger.

The gunslinger is a number 1 pick for me. He vastly improves all the Garbo guns and makes them less garbage.

You could rank every synergy, not sure how long that would be though

I don't agree with The Convict's starting arm being worse than The Marine's and The Hunter's starter. It has the highest DPS of the 4 unlocked characters. It's much faster. Also less accurate, sure, but I can adapt to the playstyle of getting in close and moving around the enemy in a tight proximity.

My most cursed run was as bullet and it changed how i thought about a lot of trash items I didn't need a gun, i just dodgerolled through enemies because of how much damage it dealt

overall coop's a, strange experience, the need to share items as i have experienced heavily causes a price on the players overall since they can't just take everything for themselves since leaving the other in the dust means that a chest if and only if the other player is dead becomes a revive chest (which is free to open) that could be a red or black chest, sure it goes back if the player is revived through another chest or something but still it replaces a chest, also paradox basically gets a buff with cultist on the team since not only are there more items randomized, there are MANY bugs with multiplayer cultist, causing double loadouts, and absurd things like the cultist getting the cat bullet king throne and being able to do the roll thing as a GHOST, aka dead

Id personally put pilot in banger purely due to his lockpicks letting you have more items than you would be able to get normally

ok i didn't know how the gunslinger worked before i watched the video, i checked the wiki and was like... dude, what the fuck is that. how is that even allowed?

Why do people hate convict? I LOVE shotguns

I know this is not an intended feature, but you talked about guard flashing so whatever. With a cultist/paradox/alternate gunshrine run, you can get some really really fun dupe runs, like gilded bullets or other passives that stack.

is it me, or is it that half of the time after you pet the dog, it gives you an item in the next room? It seems to give me way more items after I pet it, especially if I pet it every room.

Man I didn’t know that people dislike convict that much

See convict is probably shit on PC but I feel like on Console, the rapid button fire is just such a helpful aspect for me. The more bullets on screen with less time worrying about reloading is a (+) for me. Plus if you get hit it's balls out.

Cultist:worst character ever,uses a nerf gun Retromation:banger supreme!

Another good on hit item is the sprun if it changes to the gun on condition of losing half a heart

I have a soft spot for hunter and hate for convict. When I first started playing this game, I read that the convict is the best character to play so I played her for 30+ hours until I quit the game because it's too hard for me. Almost a year later and I played this game again and I decided to play as hunter in a new save file and won after only 15 deaths (my past experience also contributed to that but I remember the reason I won was because the dog gave me tons of drops) and defeated her past first try after 3 dragun fights

I wish convict was stronger just because she is cool as a lore character but... when it comes to practical qualities I pretty much agree with your opinion. If she had something different than that stupid disabled shotgun like... machine pistol?

Robot (IMO) is one of if not the best character to do a rainbow run

Bullet is bea! Finally killed the past got my favorite costume!

Bruh doing a co-op run with rainbow challenge is sooo broken. Cuz 1 you can revive ur partner at chests EVEN IF THE DUDE IS ON TOP OF A CHEST which is very broken cuz you do get 1 gun of your choice every floor so you have as much co-op revives as chests + completing the floor (the math equation for revives is r=c+1 r=revives c=chests)

As the second player in the co-op, dont let that 41% damage mislead you. Enemies have 40% more health in co-op always even if your partner is dead. So its just base single player damage with a clean 1% increase. Its useful to get to the next chest and revive your teammate. But it is not broken since all it really does is even the playing field damage wise.

Personal opinion, because I gotta defend the character I have the most fun with: Oh come on, the Convict is at least better than the Pilot. Sawed-off shotgun is an easy one-shot kill on most enemies on the first floor and a lot of enemies on the second floor, as well as being a nice gun to check for secret rooms which can easily give you a leg up on resources. Pilot is unreliable, his starter's accuracy is so low you can empty its magazine on an enemy standing right in front of you and miss every shot and it takes three hits to kill a bullet kin, the lockpicks are a last-ditch measure at their best. "If he gets the right equipment he's unstoppable"? That's true for every character! If you get lucky with the shop and the chests they can all become unstoppable! Pilot is weak at the start, he's only good in the late game if you got lucky with what you get, the Convict starter kit is fun to use on the first floors and reliable enough if you don't get anything better, which is unlikely because most of the stuff you can find is better than what the main characters start with.

bullet should be plopped up to SUPREME BANGER STATUS since he is so god-damn OP when you use him right, and he still manages to be fun to play since you still have to get close

You never get junk from junking chests as robot because you only ever get health.

Where’s cormorant ❔❓

Pilot in dook, Hunter stays in good, Marine goes to banger, Convict in banger, gunslinger banger supreme, bullet banger supreme, robot banger, paradox banger... FIXED YA LIST

Convict is the beat reason y cuz she’s badass smoke a joe on the breach no fucced given her past is easily the best and the saw off shotgun is fun as hell to use u just gotta have skill my opinion she’s my favorite

In multiplayer the enemies have 40% more hp, so you get an effective 1% damage increase as opposed to playing singleplayer.

The real reason we play robot... 𝑺 𝑷 𝑰 𝑪 𝑬

convict is rly good for new players who get hit a lot IMO

I know Hunter’s Corgi is named “Junior II,” but I call him “Missile”

This is how my list would go (This is not a “how good I think they are” tier list,but a “my favorite character” tier list) Banger Supreme: Pilot, Bullet, Cultist, Robot Banger: Marine, Hunter, Paradox Good: Gunslinger Okay: Dook: Convict Notice: I haven’t actually played as The Gunslinger (haven’t unlocked him) so take my rating of him with a grain of salt

Bullet or robot for me they're both cute and fun to play with

Now rank every Npc

Robot is my god. Rainbow runs make breaking chests inconsequential.

Anyone let Retromation videos play while you do your work? I do.

I don't know what it is about the robot that I love about him.

Gunslinger and The Bullet is Banger Supreme

I got blasphemy from a boss reward as the robot once and was sad to discover the robot cannot get blasphemys projectile

Because of co-op mode if you force your partner to die you are still at a damage deficit because co-op halves your damage

My fun tier list is 1.robot 2.gunslinger 3.pilot 4.bullet 5.huntress 6.convict 7.marine

convict is my favorite from the starters since her pistol gets better with tap shooting

Convict is criminally underrated. Pilot used to be my favorite until I played the game longer and realised his almost nonexistent ammo buff, his lockpicks which aren't just a 50/50 free key but also a detriment due to it perma locking the lock as well, horrible starting pistol and a general lack of active itens in the game just makes him not only unreliable but just underwhelming with very few runs actually utilising his potential. Meanwhile convict is free damage with a molotov and a damage up passive without needing to lose the ability to have red hearts. That isn't to say robot is by any means bad but to simply say convict is still a solid character. I'd pick convict over pilot and marine any day.

Now all we need is the enemies to be ranked

happy that robo is banger, used to main scout but dropped him as soon as i unlocked robot. (really sucks in coop tho)

You should do npc next

I would agree with most of this but I would bring back the okay section and put pilot there, and put hunter above marine. Also robot is the best for rainbow runs.

I like hunter, because you can pet the dog
