S-Tier Characters
| Heroes | Features |
|---|---|
| Jon Talbain (Gallon) | Top-tier rushdown werewolf with simple execution but cheesy strengths that frustrate opponents. Excels at footsies, jump-ins, and strike traps, and has a unique fast jump arc that dominates air level via dashing combos. |
| Lord Raptor (Zabel Zarock) | Zombie fighter with the highest skill ceiling that dominates mid-range with its disjointed command grabs. Use it to move while crouching to escape throws, then deal massive bursts of damage, while having no low hurtbox on jump startup. |
| Huitzil (Phobos) | This robot zoner has the highest health and controls projectiles at long-range normals that hover and dash in the air. Use it for solid anti-airs, such as Erasing Sphere and Plasma Trap, as well as full-screen punishes and dash cancel combos. |
A-Tier Characters
| Heroes | Features |
|---|---|
| Felicia | Versatile jack-of-all-trades fighter with the second fastest walk and jump speed in the game and some very strong chain combos. Note that Felicia may struggle in some mirrors and top-tier rushdown matchups against Gallon or Phobos. |
| Rikuo (Aulbath) | Strong option for beginners who naturally counters rushdowns, creating devastating unblockable Water Jail setups. Tends to shift to some risky command grabs at higher levels and often relies on the meter for Water Jail. |
| Baby Bonnie Hood (Bulleta) | Use BB for some remarkable double jumps and instant overheads, and some serious dash pressure. Note that her short-range chains limit consistency off jump-ins. |
| Q-Bee | This fighter has some of the tiniest hitboxes when she’s crouching, and she’s got multiple wake-up timings. Too bad she has low HP or she’d definitely be in the S-tier, and always remember about her no reversal invincibility. |
| Sasquatch | For unstoppable dash pressure that ignores tech-hits, this is a terrific fighter with chain combos and Big Brunch command grabs. Can be vulnerable to chases due to its slow walk, and its hitboxes are a bit too wide for certain combos. |
B-Tier Characters
| Heroes | Features |
|---|---|
| Hsien-Ko (Lei-Lei) | Decent rushdown and mixup fighter with one of the best supers, such as Tenraiha, that’s pretty good at long-range normals. Has slow responses and recovery times, as well as poor walk speed. |
| Demitri Maximoff | High DPS fighter with great meter gain via kara cancels that can easily set the match pace. Not particularly fast and is too meter-dependent at high damage throws. |
| Jedah Dohma | Versatile zoner with balanced normals, flight mobility, and one of the better long-range guard cancels, such as Splecio. Poor anti-airs result in low damage without momentum and combos without a knockdown. |
| Bishamon | Effective fighter at unblocking various setups and loops, as well as strong guard cancels. Highly technical fighter with a big body that’s a bit too vulnerable to overheads and crossups. |
| Morrigan Aensland | Good walk speed allows Morrigan to perform airborne dashes for mixups and execute multiple anti-airs. Unfortunately, she has the lowest health, a poor range, and her Dark Force is mostly ineffective. |
| Lilith | Good at dealing massive corner damage using her LI chains for high execution rewards. Poor neutral tools and bad anti-airs make her weak to sweeps and punishable by Dark Force. |
