V8 (27-07-25) : https://tiermaker.com/list/board-games/ ... 49/5364728

Based on Expert Mode

I updated the tier list.

Upgrades :
- Hermit, Bruiser and Grappler, from S to S+

- Wanderer, from A to S

- Assassin, from C to B

Downgrade :
- Archer, from B to C

How is Hermit S tier?

I think having 6 characters is so strong, don't you ?

Update to V3.

Upgrade :
- Manipulator, from B to A. It's maybe a bit high for her, should she go on a A-/B+ place ? Anyway, I saw her being pretty usefull on a lot of games.

Downgrades :
- Grappler, from S+ to S. He stills very strong, I just don't think he deserves to go on a higher tier than the other S characters.

- Assassin, from B to C. I was hoping to change my mind about him, but I often felt doomed when I picked this guy. Can still put some pressure

- Archer, from C to D. I'm hard with her, but yes, I put her in the same level as the Nemesis. Each time I have to fight her, I could have lost if she could capture me by contact. It's too easy to counter. I swear I want to love this character.

V4

Upgrade :
OKEY I'M CRAZY, I put the Brewmaster on S !
I think he's a very useful character, makes everybody more interesting and unpredictable. It's like a Vizir but for all of your team, and let you the ability to still use your power. I think you just need to pick him not to late in the game to make it works.

Downgrade :
I've put the Manipulator on B. Still interesting but pretty situational, sometime a bit to slow, but still nice

I think it should be worth mentioning, what game mode this tier list is primarily for. Characters slightly vary in strength for expert and normal

Ha yes, for sure, I will edit this and mention Expert mode. But I think it's not a big difference, as in normal mode, I will try to reach as close as I can the kind of team I want to have in expert mode, and having a bruiser is still a S and Nemesis still a D haha

V5 :

I upgraded the Assassin from C to B, I think you can do some stuff with him, especially with the brewmaster. But it's clearly not that easy, he stills counterable, but you force the opponent to run away from him and can take advantage of it.

Now, I'm just questionning about manipulator and protector, I still don't really know if they're B or A

V6

Ok ok I'm increasing the archer from D to C, but it's just because you can at least control her
