Often, selecting your playable character makes all the difference. Risk of Rain 2 is a third-person shooter game that gives you a big list of characters to choose from. Not all of them can be useful all the time. Hence, you need to think wisely and choose your character as you take down your enemies. We list the best characters in the game across all the five tiers.
Tier D
This tier is the first in the game, and contains the least powerful characters. However, that does not mean they do not have any advantages. Acrid is a character whose special ability is poison. It is sometimes advantageous if you know how to use him. Items can be used to increase his power.
Tier C
Rex is a character in this tier who can deal good amount of damage. This is a great advantage in crucial moments. But as maps get tough, Rex requires more items to survive, which is a big problem if you continue to use him. Rex is effective for a limited difficulty.
Tier B
Engineer is a great character who comes useful in many ways. Being an engineer and using the character wisely can make the difference between a victory and a defeat. There are two types of turrets, mobile and stationary. Maintaining the turret health is the most important point while using this character.
Tier A
We actually have two characters from this tier whom we think are quite powerful. The first one is Huntress. She can deal massive amounts of damage and can become almost unstoppable. She has the power to take down enemies without any difficulty. Some players complain about her playing style being boring, because it really is. But in terms of battle, she is a beast.
The second one in the list is the Mercenary. He has some great playing styles and is also quite impressive in the battlefield. He has hordes of abilities, from being invincible to being airborne for some time. If played with care, he can be the winner in the game.
Tier S
The best tier must have the best characters. Our pick is the Artificer. She is an outstanding damage-dealer and can take out a huge number of enemies with her item’s powers. She has a low mobility, which can be a disadvantage at times. The Artificer is undoubtedly one of the best characters in the game.
