It’s pretty much make a team of: princess, lich, lich, dragoon, dragoon and 1team beast everything in the game. all the rest fall by the way side.
Official tier list:
S: Princess, Lich
A: Dragoons
B: everyone else.
Do you still get the boost for having a Dragoon and a Dragon if the princess is the leader?
I guess I should’ve also mentioned that Mermaids and Krakens were pretty unversatile and probably weren’t worth keeping in that game.
I don’t know if there is a Tier list for Megaman X Command Mission i searched but didnt get any results… so here is my opinion.
Can’t really go too much into detail(haven’t played the game in years) but, here we go.
God Tier - Axl(His hyper makes him invulnerable and can deal incredible amounts of damage if you can gather the correct equipment)
Top Tier - Zero(His Absolute Armor definitely makes him a very great character and from what i can remember he can deal lots of damage), Marino(Even though she doesnt have the best health in the game, her hyper definitely makes up for it)
Mid Tier - X(In my opinion his hyper wasn’t all to great but, his ultimate armor is pretty good), Massimo(He can deal GREAT damage but, he has stuff that is holding him back i can’t exactly remember what they were though :/)
Low Tier - Cinnamon (She’s weak to elements, bad damage, low health, and decent healing)
Let me know if i missed something or am completely wrong about something because once again i haven’t played this game in forever… i might get back into it soon…
I just beat this game last month and I have to say from my experience I would move things around quite a bit.
S tier- X. The reason beside the ultimate armor is because he can equip supra force metal without being at a ridiculous high level. After beating the game he can equip it right away with some to reduce erosion and put on the one which maxes out his wp every turn so he can R2 every turn in ultimate armor. He’s also fast with turbo buster equipped.
A+ tier- Zero he does as much damage as X in his hyper and is very damn good without hyper too. His only problem is his low force metal, so he can’t equip a lot of stuff. He also has less slots than X. So he really won’t be doing supra force metal shenanigan stuff unless he was a really high level (which honestly you can take on ninetails after beating the game and leveling to really high levels feels like a waste of time). His lotus saber was also pretty much the hardest hitting weapon in the game.
A tier- Axl is here because he won’t die in hyper mode. If he has bait, he’s your tank. He doesn’t do too great damage but it suffices and he can play support healing up others in hyper mode. But you need others to damage someone like nine tails while he is playing bait since he’s really not gonna out damage someone like him unless you are spamming gain hypers.
B+ - Marino because of how freaking fast she is. She really helps against the tails fights and pretty much any enemy you have trouble with. If someone bites the dust in the first turn on the nine tails fight, you can swap her in, hyper, heal up, and switch out, basically not losing a turn at all. So that makes her one of the best supports because you technically don’t lose a turn attacking with a character if you need to heal and rez if you swap her in. Also her stealing is really useful to get stuff like the supra force metals at the end. She also can do stuff like kill nine tails without him budging if you waste lots of gain hypers.
B - Cinnamon, she does ok damage with kitty gloves in hyper mode but its not like its fascinating or anything compared to X and Zero. She heals which is cool I guess but doing that delays her a bit and just using sub tanks is faster (unless you are saving up sub tanks or something). She can equip a lot of force metals which is a nice boost and can also easily equip supra force without much leveling if you use stuff to get - erosion.
C- He hits hard but he was so slow. He’s also rather inaccurate so eagle eye subweapon seemed like a must for him. He also only has 2 force metal slots and a low amount of points. Plus at endgame he hits hard but its still behind X and Zero and they are much faster than him. He does have good survivability so bait might be good on him but Axl is just better since he’s invincible during hyper.
That’s off the top of my head. For the hardest boss in the game like the nine tails fight, it was basically X, Zero, Axl, and Marino to play as swap out support if anyone got one shotted.
Any tier lists for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 5? Also any complete tier lists for Namco x Capcom?
I think I’ll do a tier list for the talents in Mass Effect.
S: Singularity, Lift, Stasis(Bastion), Immunity, Marksman
A: Hacking, Neural Shock, Barrier, Unity
B: Sabotage, Overload, Throw, Carnage, Assassination, Damping
C: Warp, Overkill
D: Stasis(Nemesis), Stasis(Medic)
Hexen theory multiplayer tiers (random/bored)
A - Cleric, His third weapon is a very nice two-three shot killer it can be annoying with auto aim, His second is okay but also pretty annoying as it turns your screen green for a while. His fourth weapon is pretty much a BFG, it can clear a room full of players in a matter of seconds. He also has the best bombs in the game, controlling space and possibly limiting your opponents options by trapping them.
B+ - Mage, starts out with a ranged weapon, second weapon is practically a slower super shotgun, his third weapon isn’t that great unless your good at aiming it, can take out flyers pretty easy. His 4th weapon is also pretty good. Only problem with this guy is his speed, fighters practically tear them in some scenarios. His bombs are okay
B - Fighter, the only reason why I ranked him below the first 2 is because A)His weapons are mostly close range and B)If he only has weapons 1-2, he gets shot up by flyers with no real counter. But with that being said, why is he just barely below the mage? Well its because he is a few good traits that make up for these flaws, for starters he has the best speed in the game so he can retrieve items pretty quickly, getting some repulsions can really help his lack of range. Depending on where he spawns, he could get the icon of defender faster then anyone. He has the best melee in the game, his jabs come out pretty quick with very little recovery between them, his axe has solid range for a melee weapon, only problem is it can be quite difficult to hit with these weapons depending on your aim. His third weapon is not that great, it can be hard to hit with the projectile. His 4th weapon is pretty good, not really as good as the others but still solid. His bombs are just there for extra damage.
Might do hexen 2 next time if I am bored again =P
How about some Tecmo Super Bowl tiers?
S: SF, GIA, HOU, BUF
A: RAI, PHI, KC
B: CIN, DET, MIA, SD, MIN, CHI, WAS
C: DEN, DAL, RAMS, PIT, TB, ATL, PHX
D: JETS, CLE, GB, NO
E: NE, SEA, IND
Spots are in order. I had some teams originally tied (BUF = RAI, SD = MIN, PIT = TB, NO = GB = CLE), but I then ranked them via my opinion, since the tier list is more of a combination of a few tier lists. S tier is seperated from the other top tiers (A tier) because those 4 teams just have many factors that make them better compared to the lower top tiers (SF has everything except a Bo Jackson, GIA are balanced in every spot, HOU has the best offense in the game and a decent defense, BUF is a little GIA-lite.) Compared to the top 4, RAI have QB problems but an amazing running game, PHI relies on QB Eagles to run their offense and has a weak secondary, and KC has passing game problems, but good everywhere else.
I believe KOS-MOS and Guy+Ninja Commando were the top tier of Namco x Capcom.
Definitely do, I love Romancing Sa Ga 3. Remember to tier the weapons and magic schools too.
I’m pretty sure Elephant is god tier, his life point rating with the Dragon God spell is just unbalanced.
Apart from that, though, I think you can pretty well see the characters’ effectiveness from their stats, since they can’t be raised in this game. Of course there’s the skill learning too, but it’s dependable if that counts… but yeah I’d like to see a full tier list for this.
One game that would be interesting to tier is GLADIUS for the XBOX/PS2/GC, a massively underrated but very entertaining strategy RPG from Lucasfilm of all people. It has a ton of characters and two pretty much completely different play-types depending on whether you keep the swing meters or switch them off. The meters are sort of a problem since they destroy the strategy element, so it’s advisable to play with them turned off…
I haven’t even had the game or an XBOX for 5 years, but here’s some material related to the best and worst characters from memory, although if someone still plays this or remembers better, please correct, and add the rest.
X / Broken / Secret / Banned / Game Over Tier
- Anybody with HELL’S FURY. This is a power that can be learned through a secret sidequest during the game. It’s totally broken, and even most people who go through the trouble of getting it won’t use it, because you might just as well not play the game.
S++ / If you are one of the 2 people playing Gladius against your friends, you might want to avoid these. Even against the CPU they are cheap as hell
- AMAZON (against male opponents). Gladius is one of the few games where gender makes a difference. A rather big difference, actually, because of one skill, Charm. Only members of the opposite sex can be charmed. There are no male characters with Charm… Yeah, in Gladius, women are better because of the existence of this skill. The success rate is irritatingly high, and pretty much causes your character to join the opponent’s team for the rest of the match (OK, there might be a time limit, but generally the battle is over or the character dead before you’ll see it).
- EIJI (against male opponents). The only other character to have Charm, so same as above.
- Anybody with an Executioner’s Sword, especially a SAMNITE. This is a late game weapon which causes instant death with about the same percentage that Charm works (which in this game is pretty high, maybe 10% or something). This is borderline ban worthy by itself, but Samnite has an area attack (fart, incidentally), which gains the instant death chance if the sword is wielded…
S+
-CHANNELER. Unlike many RPGs, healing spells are quite weak in Gladius. Still, Channelers are the only characters that can heal others. This would not make them good, or even average, by itself even though it is their supposed purpose as presented in the game. However, with the proper equipment they also become top class fighters, have no weight class and thus no inherent weakness, and the capability to teleport away from melee.
S
- CENTURION. Basically the best ‘proper’ characters in the game, in the sense that they are not overpowered and not able to do stuff they really shouldn’t (like being healers that suddenly are amazing fighters as well…), but all around excellent, and also stay like this throughout the game.
- UNDEAD SUMMONER. Less effective against people, but the CPU likes actually attacking the summoned characters, which makes him very useful. You can also get him/her (Taitleach is actually a woman’s name, but this is not discussed in the game or anywhere) early in the game, unlike the other summoner.
Those are the best ones that I can remember. Other things that could be mentioned about the rest:
- The MINOTAUR is amazing with the meters on, but pretty crap without them, because then his accuracy stat and armor actually matter.
- The hero characters aren’t noticeably better when compared to the normal gladiators even though they have their own skill lists, especially Ursula seems to be quite ineffective despite being the main heroine of the game until the last couple of battles where she gets some special powers, but the game is basically over at that point. You still should use them as much as possible, since there are essential storyline battles later on where you can use only them, and if you haven’t leveled them you are screwed… This also means that because the heroes (except Eiji) are medium class characters, are always forced to be in your team, and you should level them, basically all other medium class gladiators are useless unless you want them for 2 player games.
- VALENS, the second main character, has a secret method of obtaining his special equipment before the endgame where he normally gets it automatically. If you do this, he probably joins the S+/++ class.
Then the bottom performers:
D / The last one I could see someone using in a real game. Maybe. In some situations.
- BERSERKER. A piss-poor light class character who has a special power to become a piss-poor heavy class character. Oh yeah, and you can’t control or switch off the heavy form… The weight class switch could be seen as useful in some situations, but overall in those situations if your plan is that the berserker will save the day, I’d advice changing the plan.
- WOLF. Not good in any way. Has a special ability where they become better if you use several of them. Ask yourself, however, is there room in your limited school roster for several wolves instead of someone who is actually useful?
Z
- MONGREL. Weird hairy mutants whose presence in the game is not really explained in any way. Maybe it would gave been in the sequel, had it ever been released. Overall completely awful. Might be able to beat a berserker on a good day, and they are light class so they are technically ‘strong’ against heavy class, but I really would suggest not trying even that…
- MONGREL SHAMAN. Ah yes, the mighty Mongrel Shaman. So what happens when one of these creatures learns the might of magic, to unlock the secrets of the cosmos and infinity? Naturally, they become even worse, what else did you expect?
Ö tier, and a special ‘The Worst Character Ever to Join the Player’s Team in a Video Game’ Lifetime Award
- GWAZI. My God. Imagine a Jeigan character, except who joins in the last area when about 85% of the game is over instead of the beginning, isn’t actually particularly powerful, forces you to fire one of your existing characters if you have a full team, stays only for about 10 fights (not that you should use him in even them)… Yeah. And the storyline makes you hate him even more.
I posted my tier list earlier on. Looking at yours, I personally think Chicago should move up at least one tier, but no major issues other than that.
Put Cleric class in B+ tier. Having the ability to clear out squads of undead in one attack makes them more useful than most other classes. You can also make an argument for Wyvern / Gryphon class as part of B+ because of high sky movement, but you take a big hit in damage output, as they are not powerful, and are a large unit. A Wyvern/Gryphon with 3 liches, or 2 liches and a princess can have you clearing maps really freakin’ fast though.
i agree with maria being s class, and cliff being a+, but i’d have to include albel into A+ class.
he can get that dizzy power to max, hook it up to his light attack slot, and smack/stun any boss in the game, into submission.
Albel knocks people down too damn much. And Fayt and Pepitta should be no lower then A+. I like fayt over everyone thugh. Very solid. All his skills are good. Side kick is dumb. Dimension Door is dumb. His run has invincibility which is super dumb. He’s dumb. Just the way I like it.
Advance Wars (1) Tiers
A
Max More useful of the bunch. Best Tanks. Tanks become too gdlk when COP is activated, useful in maps you don’t even need him in.
Eagle Best Aircraft. Very dangerous COP, can destroy any army in the game if positioned well enough.
B
Sturm Best COP in this game, but used entirely different from Campaign. One’s offensive, the other defensive.
Grit Won’t survive many upfront confrontations, but can decimate armies long range. His COP increases those capabilities.
Kanbi Basically another Max, units are pretty pricey to make but shouldn’t be an issue if he’s winning. Morale Boost is a pretty good COP to watch out for. Solid.
Drake Best ships. Sucks on land but in water he will best you most of the time. There are plenty of water missions in this game, and his COP is cheesy.
C
Andy Average. Simply, put. COP can save your ass in some situations, but he has no advantages to be had. In trade, he has no weakness obtained. Because of this, he’s only excels in some maps and is generally not needed in most of them.
Sonja The hardest to tier. She can best your army if you’re unfortunate, and her COP reveals your units even if hidden. Fog of war every time you fight her. Her major strengths are strong-holding armies until they whittle to nothing, but will fall easily if units are deployed right.
Olaf He’s basically Andy but COP allows him to slow your units down.
D
Sami I personally love her don’t get me wrong, but there’s no denying she’s the weakness of 3. Not strong enough to hold her own against things like Eagle or Kanbi, require good deployments and tactics. COP is very situational, not something you can just use off the back. Best capture, but you should be able to capture just as many cities with other COs.
That SO3 list is pretty old, now it should look something like this:
[ S ] Maria
[ S-] Cliff
[ A ] Peppita, Albel
[ B ] Nel, Fayt
[ B-] Sophia, Mirage
[ C ] Adray, Roger
You could debate about Nel being A. Fayt is a redundant character, he isn’t particularly good in anything. His DPS isn’t even that good, some of his skills have nice properties though. He’s solid for soloing, but you wouldn’t miss him much in any team.
Well… there’s Brother… but then… between Brother and Tidus there’s no point to anyone else…
it’s been awhile since i’ve seen any AW tiers but i’m sure in the first Grit owned everyone. Though I could be thinking of Dual strike.
No, that list is pretty much accurate. Grit is good, but eagle has hands down the best CO power in the game, and can use it to outplay grit at sniping, and max’s regular tanks are just too strong to exist. On a few maps, grit really shines, but as a whole he can’t stop eagle and max from playing their games. The only things I disagree with are strum, who I feel isn’t very strong at all, and sonja needs two separate categories since she is absolutely the worst CO in the game if FoW is off.
