Character Balancing

[viral lava]

This is a rough tier list on character strengths, that for the most part I think most would agree with.

1. The main purpose for this is the bring to like the large power level differences between some of the characters in hopes that we can get more balance patches like we did in years past.
   2)This is for both players and wildlife entertainment as well.
2. Please read the notes on both pages before brining things up like pheromones for example.
3. I would love to hear your opinions, but please keep it constructive and pay attention to the basis of the tier list.
4. For those who refuse to read the notes:

This is for the average player skill level, all characters level 14, 4 items, with primal.
No pheromone or muscles.

@jagged ledge (just curious if you would have any interest in this/could bring this to the team as we haven’t had a character balance patch in almost a full year)

[solar sable]

I just realised that you spelled Shelly wrong lol

[fleet imp]

[torn pendant]

[meager onyx]

I feel like steve is better than frank and Donna but that's just my opinion

[drowsy horizon]

nahh

[torn pendant]

yeah*

[viral lava]

Steve is better than frank, that’s why he’s above him, but no Donna is way better than Steve

Sadly most think Steve is better than he is, and that’s probably due to most not having 4 items and primal on all

[viral lava]

Great contribution

[drowsy horizon]

Jade,Nix,Betsy and Iris S tier (only my opinion )

Skippy goes A+
weakness: low health and primary instinct is bad
but it is very fast deals so much damage

can escape fights and can also rush

And there's much more thinks about the tier list

[viral lava]

Average player won’t find that success on skippy

And jade isn’t S she can be kites easily, S tier have no clear weaknesses

[drowsy horizon]

right but if played well jade is unstopable

same case with skippy but not as strong as jade

[viral lava]

Skippy has the High skill floor/ceiling mark so that’s already taken care of

But no jade is not unstoppable even when played well, you shouldn’t ever be able to beat some characters like iris

[meager onyx]

I have donna level 14 primal and 4 slots AND steve level 14 primal and 4 slots and I personally feel that steve is much better than donna... also I do have primal on almost every character

I feel like larry and ollie are nothing alike... same with finn and some of the others bc ollie isn't really that good imo

[viral lava]

Ollie requires much more skill to play than most characters

[viral lava]

Still I argue my point the same way

Most have that opinion because they don’t

Donna is honestly A tier if you can allow yourself to camp and abuse her primal, but I don’t so I put her down toward B for average players just moving around the map

[drowsy horizon]

yep ollie is so underated by average player

[fleet imp]

Donna is just underrated but definitely High tier for solo mode but not for team mode

[heavy solstice]

I also think Donna is underrated. Steve is good for burst damage but once you’ve exhausted that you’re a sitting duck until cooldown. So many characters now can counter his dive that I think this rating is warranted

[fleet imp]

[torn pendant]

True. But Steve should be B tier

[meager onyx]

I feel like steve compared to edna and Tony is so much better

I also think pepper is better than ravi and ollie bc those 2 require quite a bit of skill to use properly... and a lot of people can't aim with ravis spear

[viral lava]

At most Steve can goto C+/B-

Snipers are in the correct spots pepper isn’t strong enough to warrant a tier up

[drowsy horizon]

It really depends on your playstyle. I’ve seen u play, and u don’t tend to play tanks a ton. Donna is a tank, similar to Bruce. I play tanks a ton and have started to main buck and Bruce. Now, I love Donna and I find her OP in solos. Maybe not the best in squads- but still hella op.

[drowsy horizon]

If you’re talking about power, then yeah they are alike. The weapons/modes are different, but they do a similar amount of damage

[drowsy horizon]

Well. Tony’s weapons lock up. Edna takes too long to place traps. And there is the glitch with Steve where teammates can’t revive you. So in my opinion, they should be at the same tier until these bugs get fixed.

[viral lava]

Steve bug is negligible since the list is made for solos and Steve isn’t very good in teams anyways

[viral lava]

@drowsy horizon here (:

[drowsy horizon]

Thank u!

[viral lava]

Feel free to DM or @ me if you have any questions

[drowsy horizon]

I’ll dm u then:)

[solar sable]

Low level Molly’s only know how to run lol

[viral lava]

Bad players run, and low levels aren’t considered on this so, invalid

[solar sable]

Most Molly’s are bad players then 😂

[viral lava]

Nope, just most players are bad, not just Molly

[solar sable]

I know Molly isn’t bad

[fast crescent]

Imo Louie is A with an H

And Jack is S for teams

And maybe S+ hes such a great team char

[meager onyx]

You wanna play?

[meager onyx]

Nix users are worse

Me personally I don't like shelly either so I wouldn't rank her that high

[drowsy horizon]

gasp shelly is op af

Well, it depends on the play style. I love shelly, she’s one of my lvl 17s, and i find her hella op. Especially if u know how to use her active effectively, and equip useful items

[meager onyx]

Still no 17s 😦 haven't been spending lately though

[drowsy horizon]

Spend spend spend

[meager onyx]

Ok, what's you credit card info

[drowsy horizon]

😶

[meager onyx]

[vernal meadow]

I wanted to point out some corrections but this list is wrong on soooo many levels, so yeah , nevermind.

[viral lava]

Good contribution; but you probably didn’t pay attention to certain details that it is tailored too

[meager onyx]

Where does zac place?

[viral lava]

I haven’t played him yet, but I would reckon A
Once my friend gets him (so I can play him) and I play against him more I can give a better answer

[solar sable]

💀

[drowsy horizon]

What’s wrong?😐

[drowsy horizon]

Henry on top

[drowsy horizon]

henry is good but not than good to be in S

[drowsy horizon]

In your dream noy in your dream

[meager onyx]

Definitely not skippys actually trash when you get to use him 😦

[solar sable]

Skill issue

[drowsy horizon]

agree

[solar sable]

I think most characters can be S tier if you play them right but I agree with you Henry should be A tier because this is for the average player skill level

[solar sable]

Same but not as much corrections

[viral lava]

He is def not trash lmao, he’s a legit glass cannon

[solar sable]

So Skippy is glass

[solar sable]

Why the vomiting emoji and the thumbs down emoji

Henry should be A tier because snipers and tanks can counter him well (if you know how to play a sniper that is)

[viral lava]

Nah, Henry can beat a lot of snipers/tanks still

Henry beats Bruce with no issue whatsoever

And any other tank that gives issue he can just spear throw from range and win

Also it’s quite easy to get on snipers if you zigzag

[solar sable]

The Betsy and the Shelly

[viral lava]

Betsy is OP tier for a reason, but Henry is one of the few that can put up a fight

And Shelly would be OP tier if certain places on the map weren’t an almost guaranteed loss

[solar sable]

But Betsy could just protect herself with her logs because she has pi on

[viral lava]

But Henry has the potential to phase through Betsy logs and bite her depending on the range when she uses them

[solar sable]

I surround myself with logs so then Henry, Yara, Earl etc can’t break through me

[viral lava]

This is the way, quick triangle and you’re set

[solar sable]

Not if I can distance myself with helium canister

[viral lava]

Hence “ depending on the range”

[solar sable]

That’s why you need a good spawn with Shelly then you should be able to be fine for the rest of the game unless there’s a hard counter when the circle is small

[viral lava]

You’re just rephrasing what I’m saying lmao

[solar sable]

Ik lol I am just doing it in a more detailed way

[meager onyx]

Health issue

I have skippy level 15 and ik how to play him but against pheromones he's instantly dead. Also tanks with the active that pull you in like buck and Bruce also kill him easily. The only place he's really good is like the museum bc there's tons of obstacles for you to jump over then quickly attack and jump back

[viral lava]

Pheromones are specifically excluded in this tier list discussion so this argument loses a lot of water

[wise robin]

mans really brought pheromones into this

that stuff can kill anyone if you're good with it so... point: invalidated

im only talking about the pheromone part bc the museum part is true he is pretty good there

[unkempt cargo]

For me its pretty Hard to get steve He is still my dream character trying to get him like 2years

[slim kestrel]

Damn

[torn pendant]

Me too but I have gotten him like a month ago but i discovered he wasn’t good

As I thought

[unkempt cargo]

Yeah i know He maybe isnt that good but still want him because He Will be in my collection of predators

[meager onyx]

My points still valid though

[viral lava]

Not for this discussion it isn’t

[meager onyx]

About skippy being week

[viral lava]

He isn’t weak, he’s B tier, with a high skill ceiling

[meager onyx]

I know, I wasn't even talking yo you I was talking to someone who said he should be A+

[viral lava]

Agree with you there, but I’m just saying he isn’t weak, he’s average

[carmine marten]

Tbh I think this tier list is pretty good, I agree with everything (I disagree with only some minor things, like I think Ravi and Milo should have H symbol)

[viral lava]

I agree, I needed to add a few more H symbols for a few

[meager onyx]

Hes glass... snipers can kill him easy, tanks can pull him in and kill him easy too, he's good for dealing small damage quickly and escaping but at level 14 with primals he's not the best

[viral lava]

Yup average not weak

[torn pendant]

I agree

[lucid haven]

Bro ain't no way they said Steve better than donna💀

[lucid haven]

That's honestly skill issue

[viral lava]

People love Steve and blind themselves from his glaring issues

[lucid haven]

True ig still most characters can easily kill him

[meager onyx]

Dp you even have skippy? He's just glass... anybody who plays high levels knows how weak skippy is, without adrenaline he's literally one-shot

[lucid haven]

I have him and a higher level then u and yes ik he's one shot I never said he's not one shot without adrenaline

Had Skippy the day he came out

[unkempt cargo]

I finally got my dream char Steve + Thundergod Steve i won on First place in pet competition😁

[torn pendant]

How…..

How the hell did you won

[unkempt cargo]

Idk it just happened...

[torn pendant]

Bruh………

You’re really lucky as they were thousands of thousands of players who submitted it…..

[unkempt cargo]

It was pretty lucky i didnt expected to win

[solar sable]

Of course the character chosen was Steve lol (no offence to Sonicsos)

[lucid haven]

Brooo Steve out of every character 💀

[torn pendant]

Who cares, it’s their dream character I don’t care if my character is weak as hell but I want it

[lucid haven]

I'm just saying Steve out of every character in the game

Not a big deal

[torn pendant]

don’t care about the character If it’s my favorite character I don’t care if it’s weak as hell, I want it

[lucid haven]

Ok sir

[unkempt cargo]

Yeah i just wanted Steve i already had finn,henry And other chars i have 19now because got Earl And Donna

And i wanted Steve because hes my dream char got him on lvl8 And gm1 on him👍😁

And i dont think He is out of chars He is good but you need to teach skills/how to play him He heals very big health when you have primal instinct And Vampire teeth He can easily kill almost every char in the game but not heavyweights

Finn Skippy And Henry have too low HP because they are Lightweights they all deal a lot of damage like steve so He is not that bad than you think

[viral lava]

Sadly steve really is that bad, it he’s fine/fun for lower levels but once he’s up there he falls hard

[solar sable]

[drowsy horizon]

facts🤌

[fleet imp]

I would have chosen Zac but that’s just me

[unkempt cargo]

I was thinking of it why i didnt choosed Zac it wouldnt be that bad idea lol

[meager onyx]

I think maybe its a skill thing

[carmine marten]

Steve wall hacks were op though

[torn pendant]

lol

[lucid haven]

What im saying

[unkempt cargo]

Got Tony from emerald crate is He good?

[torn pendant]

nope...

[viral lava]

Yeah he’s pretty good, solid B tier now that his bug is fixed

[torn pendant]

uh

Wait a minute his bug is fixed, then well the character is good

[solar sable]

But his whole kit is gigi

[unkempt cargo]

My characters i have 20

[carmine marten]

Bruh they made Gigi invincible, I was so shocked when I read that when it came out

No character in the game is invincible, and Tony has a teammate who is unkillable

[viral lava]

Okay? Gigi is still horrible

[carmine marten]

?

It's not horrible? If you're saying that because it reveals your position or something, then an easy way to make Gigi useful for not revealing your position is by moving Gigi somewhere away from you, then people will shoot over there, then you can sneak up on them because they revealed their position

[limber nimbus]

i love iris

[unkempt cargo]

I got iris today i always wanted her(got her from Gold crate)

[torn pendant]

Nice

[unkempt cargo]

And bought max offer And random character offer got betsy!

[torn pendant]

Nice

You’re getting Some great characters

[carmine marten]

Betsy is SO much fun, congrats! When you get good with betsy, and when you learn how to torture people you will be really happy that you have betsy

[torn pendant]

I already know how to Torture people already💀

[solar sable]

Same

[torn pendant]

You’re already old Betsy Player lol

[solar sable]

[unkempt cargo]

Got skippy from reroll on emerald crate+Steve primal instinct!I have betsy now on lvl10!

[fleet imp]

Lucky I got nothing from that emerald crate

[austere vapor]

So this is what the tier list looks like

[vernal meadow]

Tony is sooo underrated

[viral lava]

YO!
Can you link me this??

[drowsy horizon]

edna is much better now

[austere vapor]

tiermaker.com/create/zooba-character-tier-list-updated-since-11-5-22-15415360

[unkempt cargo]

My tier list
Pls dont hate its only my opinion

[vernal meadow]

No hate but, you have placed literally more than 50% of roster in S tier lol.

[unkempt cargo]

Yeah i know😅

[slim kestrel]

Louie in S tier 💀👏

[unkempt cargo]

Yeah i think He's good 💀idk why

[sinful warren]

Wait what. If you don't know why, then why is he the "best"? I do disagree with your tier list, but I respect your opinion. I want to make a tier list now 😂

[torn pendant]

no hate, but you're literally put most of the characters in literally S tier💀

[unkempt cargo]

Yeah i overS it🙃

[unkempt cargo]

Ok to be honest right now and not saying "idk why" i feel He is a good character for solos He has long range,deals a lot of damage,with his primal He is very op

[slim kestrel]

Louies' pi is kinda useless

[unkempt cargo]

I respect your opininion

[unkempt cargo]

?

[viral lava]

Updated tier list

This tier list is made specifically for:

level 17 and below
For solos specifically
4 items with none being unique items
And Primal instincts

Certain characters like,
Duke, lizzy, earl, buck, etc move up 1 tier when playing teams

High Skill ceiling means not all will be able to play them to that level, but they have the ability to beat most if not all in the right hands

Edit: Currently Suzy is not able to be placed; but her rating is currently between OP and S tier.

Edit: Molly should be placed in “high skill ceiling”

BIG EDIT: Henry S tier (I clearly didn’t look this over)

Sadly she drops from s to a this patch

[undone falcon]

lol: so i have at least 2 in every tier (excluding the last two)

tbh: i'm surprised henry is so low tho 🤔

[viral lava]

That’s an oversight

Added an edit

[vernal meadow]

I think you're underestimating Tony with bandages. If you play passively you can do wonders in Solo. I would put him in high ceiling category. I've taken out multiple lvl15-16 duos with my level 15 Tony. Hit, run ,heal back, hit, repeat. Use your trail & jungle shoes to constantly fluctuate your speed & you won't get hit easily with such an unpredictable speed or movement

[viral lava]

No unique items

[vernal meadow]

Oops

I forgot bandages are considered a unique item now, my bad.

[azure portal]

How does one play betsy i am having trouble with the character. I die if someone surrounds me

[unkempt cargo]

I got Quinn Yesterday from Gold crate randomly

[viral lava]

Helium canister is a must on Betsy, that and jungle shoes makes it much easier to avoid this

[azure portal]

What level helium canister is a min requirement my betsy is level 10 and the equipment is level 5 i believe

[viral lava]

Betsy gets MUCH better at lv 12 with her primal
And helium gets better around 8+

[azure portal]

Ahh so the primal is the key hmmm good good
And what does the primal add is there a list where i can check it out for all characters

[vernal meadow]

His logs will reflect incoming projectiles like attacks from shotgun & bow

[carmine marten]

Try using barriers to block people, and then place a crossbow or bomb

[austere vapor]

I guess Iris is S tier because she bites u and run away, then u lose half your health and being focused by other characters, right?

[carmine marten]

Yeah kinda

The primal is really op, it slows you down so you can't get away

[vernal meadow]

Yes, plus her main strength is Primal, it's soo annoying, you can bully literally everyone

[viral lava]

Without iris primal she’s B tier

With it, she’s OP tier

[empty hill]

For me the spear was Betsy’s best weapon. It’s so strong and the range is ridiculous. I leveled up the velocity first so it wasn’t as hard to hit enemies.

[viral lava]

9 times out of 10,

max cooldown, then range, then filler points,

[austere vapor]

So in terms of sniper:
SS: Betsy. Iris (half speeder)
S: Shelly (half tank). Paolo (half speeder)
A+: Fuzzy, Ollie, Milo, Ravi
A: Pepper, Louie
B: Faye (half support)

[vernal meadow]

Betsy, iris & Paolo are not snipers bruhh

[austere vapor]

Betsy isnt fast and his skill doesnt support much. Long range and high damage fits the sniper role

[sinful warren]

How do you guys come to the conclusion that Shelly is a sniper. She has 1 weapon out of her kit that is long range. She's more tank than sniper, but I wouldn't classify her as a tank so much either. Her bow is used for catching people that run or poking people until you can close the gap

[carmine marten]

Betsy is a sniper.. I guess people might think it's a support not sniper because it doesn't have the normal weapons that a sniper would have

[ripe oasis]

Iris over Betsy?

[viral lava]

The tiers are for the most part equal, I think those 3 are OP but if played to the best of the characters ability, ollie nix and Betsy are top 3

[ripe oasis]

iris*

but isee what u mean

[torn pendant]

Disagree She’s A

And what the hell is that pfp

I didn’t even notice it was you because of the pfp

[vernal meadow]

No. Without primal she is not A. Without that slowness effect, close range fighters can absolutely destroy her, without pi she can't escape the battlefield either

[austere vapor]

I wonder how the ranking change if all characters do not have pi and r level 10

[undone falcon]

having level 10s isn't gonna change the ranking
the ranking has nothing to do with levels

[austere vapor]

U dont have primal instict at level 10 and thats enough to move something like iris to B

[vernal meadow]

Except it does, number of item slots & pi affects the ranking

[undone falcon]

Well yes but the specific levels don’t matter

[unkempt cargo]

Its her(she) not he

[torn pendant]

Yes

[austere vapor]

OP, update the ranking with new map.

[carmine marten]

True, Ollie is a lot better in the new map and close range would also be a lot better

[spiral veldt]

This list is great, is it possible to find one for the "no cost" players? something like levels 6-12, no primal instinct and just 2 items?

[austere vapor]

U can still get character to level 15 in 3 months with f2p. But getting 18 and 19 is almost Impossible in 1 year

[viral lava]

Sorry everyone, I haven’t played for the past 1.5 months and don’t have any experience with the new map.

I have great faith that @vivid sail could update this accordingly

[vivid sail]

[viral lava]

Miss you friend 🥰

[vivid sail]

Miss you too! Grinding Iris to gm5 today in your honor

[vivid sail]

@viral lava

[viral lava]

She’s too good!

[vernal meadow]

How are you surviving against lvl19 (s) with maxed Pheromones???

[vivid sail]

I actually was mainly playing duos/trios with one of my clan mates! Surprisingly we didn’t come across as many pheromone teams as usual.
