I realize that Season 2 is coming to a close and I wanted to put this out for everyone to take a look at. Obviously this list is very subjective. Everyone’s opinion will be different and that’s ok. One could easily slide a character up/down and it’d be hard to disagree with their opinion. Also, there is no “order” to the list as the characters are just put into groups.
Would love to hear everyone’s feedback regardless.
First of all, KI tier list it’s really tight. All characters are viable, but IMO some of them have very good MU against others. Given that, in no particular order:
Best character: Fulgore
Top tier: Kan-Ra, Spinal, Sabrewulf, Jago, Sadira, Maya, Omen
Middle tier: Aria, Cinder, Glacius, Shadow Jago, Thunder, TJ
Bottom tier: Orchid, Hisako, Riptor, Aganos
I’m honestly surprised to see Aganos towards the bottom. I knew he wasn’t going to be near the top, necessarily, but the bottom? I would’ve put him firmly in the middle if anything.
I can see a compelling case for everyone in the top 6, though I’d probably bump Thunder and Maya and replace them with Sadira and either TJ or Jago. I think the others belong up there though, and that you could argue for it to remain as-is.
I don’t think either Hisako or TJ belong in the bottom 6 at all. TJ is a very good character, and I firmly believe Hisako goes even with the entire cast save Riptor. I’d probably bump Cinder down to bottom 6 as a replacement.
Kiets once said something along the lines of “Even though it’s hard for people to agree on a definitive tier list, most people still agree that Aganos is pretty much at the bottom.”
That’s what most people think, just because he is so different.
P.s. I definitely don’t think he is at the bottom.
