There are 12 monsters in Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered, with their playstyle archetypes being carried over from the original 2002 game, so the meta hasn’t changed that much since then. This guide will provide you with a tier list of the best monsters in the game, including their main features.
All Monsters Tier List for Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered
| Tiers | Kaiju |
|---|---|
| S | Heisei Godzilla, King Ghidorah |
| A | Mechagodzilla (Showa), Kiryu, Godzilla 2000 |
| B | Destoroyah, Orga, Megalon, Rodan |
| C | Gigan, Anguirus, Mecha-King Ghidorah |
S-Tier Monsters
| Kaiju | Features |
|---|---|
| Heisei Godzilla | Best all-rounder with high starting health, strong melee combos, atomic breath projectile, and a Rage Mode that’s easy to execute. Super beginner-friendly and hard to punish, making it a strong choice for both 1v1 and multiplayer due to powerful tools and big hitboxes. |
| King Ghidorah | Top-tier zoner with huge hitboxes from three heads, excellent gravity beams for area control, high durability, and flight option. Also very easy to use even for beginner players, since most opponents will even struggle to close the distance in both 1v1 and multiplayer. |
A-Tier Monsters
| Kaiju | Features |
|---|---|
| Mechagodzilla (Showa) | Excellent midrange control with missiles, beams, plasma cannon, and armor on some tools. It has strong defense, and it’s very good at punishing jump attacks, but still try to keep your opponents at range. |
| Kiryu | This monster has the highest skill ceiling of all due to a complex mechanical kit with answers at multiple ranges and a powerful Absolute Zero Cannon Rage. But it also has more versatile weapons than most pure Godzilla variants. |
| Godzilla 2000 | Faster, more aggressive version of Godzilla with better early pressure and rushdown while still having a projectile of spiral breath. Great alternative if you want more aggressive gameplay with some balanced tools. |
B-Tier Monsters
| Kaiju | Features |
|---|---|
| Destoroyah | Deals brutal physical attacks and high-power energy moves that can end rounds quickly once he gets in. All of its best tools are very expensive, so once drained he’s nothing but a sitting duck. |
| Orga | This monster has a huge reach with its massive hands, good close-to-midrange control, shoulder cannon, and paralyzing goo. But it struggles against faster characters who stay out of its grab range or resist its pressure. |
| Megalon | Here’s a strong option for local multiplayer due to its tunneling evasion, surprise grabs, drill pokes, and electricity tools. Although it rewards aggressive pressure, he can struggle against pure zoners who never let him close the gap. |
| Rodan | Fastest and most mobile monster of all, with great hit-and-run tactics, heat beam, and melee. But it also has the weakest defense on the roster by a notable margin. |
C-Tier Monsters
| Kaiju | Features |
|---|---|
| Gigan | Decent ranged option with chest laser for creating chaos and windows for teleportation. Small health pool makes it vulnerable to energy attacks, and its autopilot play gets punished hard. |
| Anguirus | Good at punishing predictable players with high defense, spiked block, grapples, and low profile. Struggles against zoners and characters with wide horizontal normals. |
| Mecha-King Ghidorah | Can lock down slower opponents effectively with its cables, gravity beams, shield, and energy projectiles. Slow like regular Ghidorah but less forgiving and very energy-dependent, requiring the opponent to be in a specific position. |
