I think leper should do even more damage (totally unbiased)

"Dismas doesn't have stress heal" meanwhile Dismas connecting 5 consecutive crit grapple shots being at 0 stress since birth

Pretty fair rankings but I personally would've put Crusader to A tier at least. As he is so versatile. Versatility is so underrated as an ability.

I agree with Reynauld being a better tank/support than a tank/damage since his self-sufficient healing/stress healing is so insane, especially when he gets an extra 10% once Battle heal is upgraded. Not only that but Inspiring cry heals 1 stress everytime he stress heals someone which makes him (if you pick Banneret) a self-sufficient stress dealer, a healer, a tank and a pseudo damage dealer, Reynauld is literally Johnny Sins since he takes on so many jobs.

I agree that I never take Bounty Hunter. I built my team to do a thing, and generally don't want to change that. I think one cool way of incentivizing you to take him would be to have the region generate unique nodes you could go to to get certain enemies and get a reward for doing so. Give him a little bit of an antiquarian feel, let him be a way to generate money by doing Bounty Hunter things

That recent graverobber buff is amazing honestly she's weird because they really want you to set up stealth plays but they aren't good enough to justify the set up

Hmmm, a little shocked to see Jester in B, I'd say he's an easy A for me maybe even S, between encore, combo generation, easy position fixing, Solo/finale, and stress healing. Don't know if there's any other placements I feel are out of line though.

I think Junia's not D class, but that's only because I run her in a way no one else seems to, where she's rank 2 spamming Hand of Light plus with an occasional mace bash or divine comfort. Rank 3-4 Vestal is definitely D class

Jester to S. Encore is easily the best ability in the entire game. It allows hyper carry cheese setups involving Audrey and Dismas opening with Piloutte and or Grapeshot blast/point blank shot then immediately following up with Duelists Advance and Lunge. Nasty nasty combos that nearly guarantee 2 enemies dead on round one in a game with a meta revolving around bursting enemies down…. Yeah Jester is nuts

If you're worried about Sahar being a 3 button hero, I just did a stygian cowardice run where I kept her in the back, relieving stress but also giving damage and crit to high stressed heroes. It was probably the most fun I've had in the game for a while.

I agree with a few players here we need buffs to low grade héroes, not get S tier down but C D héroes back up. Runaway is one new character I've always wanted to build with... but maybe until now with reynauld she might go up a tier but is stronger dependant on team comp.

Vestal is just too slow. Her design is cool but she's like...3 turns late to the party every time. Convictions with dance teams feel like the only way to get fast value out of her, but she hates being out of position. Dumping 3 Conviction feels way worse than dumping 2 Unchecked Power, which makes no sense since she generates it more slowly. Her heals have too low of thresholds. She just feels so hamstrung for seemingly no reason.

I feel like confessor removing 3 positive buffs is pretty good. I find when you give the vestal a speed trinket so she actually goes before others the buff stripping is excellent

Alright I don't have to waste 30 minutes of my time to know that this tier list is full of shit THANK YOU! 1:30 fun, powerful and a really strong character but I'll put him C tier because: "I never use the guy sorry" like what is that kind of rating. Hey, last run I played Grave Robber I guess she is S+ now. What a joke.

I haven't delved into DD2 for ages. The two new heroes have given me a new lease of life. I'm still stuck on the obsession boss though. Im sh1te 😂

I think what you said about bounty hunter is correct, but also I think thats what hes designed for. He made for going into the sprawl to get a good flame based trinket for runaway while also ditching runaway for that region so she isnt countered. You take him for his general ability

Starting a War with the first Pick is an impressive Move . Talk about Blitzkrieg

Personally reynauld front line with the fire and execution smite with self destresser is very strong. Of course we still too early as we haven't tried all possible composition

First off, amazing video, absolutely loved it and your energy 👏 I do mostly agree with your placement, however I believe you could have been more constructive in your criticism instead of simply saying that it feels good/bad to play someone. Also, Jester is super versatile, with combos, stress heals, buffs, debuffs, damage, dots, and encore, so he's super strong imo. Soloist isn't great, but I love the other 2 paths, and while I feel people overestimate the value of encore when ranking him, he is at the very least high A tier. For Duelist and Crusader, I haven't played them yet, but I feel like they need some more time in the oven with a little more experimentation (your academic instincts serve you well). They both feel very versatile and fresh that a B tier feels kind of unjust. Finally, while I agree Vestal feels lacking and doesn't always achieve what she's supposed to, she still has a few playstyles where she absolutely shines and even clutches sometimes. Being put in D tier alone gives off the idea that she's unplayable and needs a complete rework, while imo she's very well on par with runaway for example.

Encore solo finale is the best 3 turns(cuz after encore, solo and finale happens together) imo but yeah his bleed kit is underwhelming. I think he should be S tier. My jester from 3 months ago hasn't died yet. Haven't failed a run with jester ever.

I'm so late to this, but thank you for the tier list! Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts, also a merry belated Christmas my good sir!

Hellion at C is too low. Yes she have only 1 good path but that doesnt make her a bad hero. She as Ravager is great dmg dealer, can hit rank 4 and have self heal which also removes winded, heal stress and gives her healing per hit. And its not % from the dmg she deals but % from her max hp. She is much better than Leper who needs entire team to be build around him to work. Hellion you just put on rank 1 and she gets the job done.

alchemist plague doctor can get nerfed when we get literally any other backline answers

Oh, I don't know. Strength kind of is everything in this game. In my opinion BH can supersede anyone with little effort. Sure he's not always available, sometimes you pick him just to snipe the boss. But then again, that's why he's not a part of main roster. When you have a chance to pick him, he almost always makes a difference. Dude is packed af.

While I definitely agree the Runaway feels sorta weird and weak and needs help, I think Hearthlight is actually a really strong ability. The stealth clear is niche, but it's use as a mass dodge remover against annoying fights like lair dens is incredible. Not to mention the blind clear on upgrade, which is a pretty common and annoying debuff.

Did you mean Tracking Shot instead of Take aim? I find take aim to be pretty good.. never use tracking shot on the other hand. Thoughts?

I must be the only person who likes Vestal…..

well and here i am using junia in all of my comps, dik she always heals me a lot and gives me pretty decent buffs, i don't see any other healing other than maybe the flagellant to be on her level, but then again im fairly new into the game so maybe im missing something

Bounty hunter C tier seems like a bit of a hot take. I see where you're coming from though. I think if you keep his bounty hunter trinket you should be able to rehire him again. Using him once every run seems like too little. Also warlock occultist is a very nice 1 trick damage pony!

I usually never go bounty hunter which is tragic cause he is so cool but I lve already built my team and theres just no room to swap him in. I definitely dont want to build a team around 1 dude who I only get to use in one region

I think Vestal’s main problem is that she has too many support options, and not enough damage options. And sure, her support options are good, but they’re mostly defensive outside of Conviction of Light, which is powerful, but not as flexible as, say, Emboldening Vapors or Command, both of which can target multiple heroes throughout a single fight much more easily. But back to her damage options. She has three: Judgement, Mace Bash, and Hand of Light. On most of her paths, Mace Bash and Hand of Light are position-exclusive with her healing options, which means they only get used on her frontline path, and even there, Mace Bash is weak, which leaves Judgement. Judgement by itself is kinda pitiful. Its damage range and crit rate are the sort you see on attacks you look for the secondary effects of primarily, like Incision or Strategic Withdrawl. It can scale up to decent damage, but that’s all it is, decent, and it takes 3 turns minimum, more if you’re playing a path with weird Conviction Generation. Overall, just not very useful. Her support options are also bad. Her Convictions are hard to work with for all their power, Ministrations is hit-or-miss at the best of times, and Illumination is a single-target de-stealth, which is the worst type of move in the entire game. Sanctuary is fine, but a guard/stress heal isn’t what most people are looking for. Moving on, her heals aren’t the best, either. Divine Grace has too low a healing threshold to actually be useful, especially compared to other healers. Half health is the useful breakpoint for healing, not quarter health or third health. Divine Comfort is too low of a regen to meaningfully heal anyone, especially now that DoTs kill if they deal more damage than the regen heals. Mantra is a fascinating idea, but for it to really work for me, I’d want it to work differently on the Seraph path and just heal more in general.

Do you have the link for the tierlist?

I think Flèche w dreaming general trophy to lock heroes Duelist could be insane damage wise

This tier list is a bad joke. BH in c tier and occultist in A and jester is B

Is there any news heard of the PVP comin in this game? I would definitely love to see even as a separate game with same heroes

broo how dare you to put baldwin to tier C ? leper is an S tier character just bkz he is leper alone

Stop asking for nerfs, ask for buffs. Players should not be punished with a nerf for using what works and instead be rewarded for trying something new with a buff to weaker heroes. PD should not be weaker, other heroes need to be as as strong as her, otherwise we will be at the point where fights take 15+ rounds, which is not fun.

The hellion disrespect lol

I want a tier list for who'd be the best bud, who'd be the best to date, and who'd be the best at a party

Bounty Hunter less than S? Dislike 😢
