How to read this ranking

There is no published win-rate table for Ravenswatch, so any list that quotes percentages is inventing them. This tier list ranks the thirteen heroes by what their kits actually do, using the real trait numbers from the wiki:

  • Self-sustain — healing, shields, Intangible, or aggro control.
  • Wave clear — AoE, summons, or damage that scales with enemy count.
  • Mobility — gap closers, dashes, or stance movement.
  • Co-op value — what the hero adds to a 1–4 player party.

S tier — self-sufficient and forgiving

HeroWhy S
The Snow QueenBuilt-in CC (Chilled −40% speed, 5s) plus a 60-damage shatter and an Intangible escape; ranged and safe.
The Pied PiperUp to 20 rats that attack 3× for 5 damage each — steady clear with almost no personal risk.
AladdinPower wish deals 250 damage all around; Defense wish revives or fully heals nearby heroes with a permanent 30 Shield.
Sun WukongTaiji stance swap: Yin gives +10% Life on Hit and +15 Shield to the party; Yang deals and takes +100% damage with a Strength buff.

A tier — strong with a small learning curve

HeroWhy A
BeowulfWyrm empowers the next Power/Special/Defense and he carries a shield; the sturdiest pure melee.
GeppettoUp to three Dummies that draw aggro and hit for 40 damage each — excellent team anchor.
CarmillaBlood-fueled kit; Winged Form gives +30% Move Speed and her Night phase adds +30% Crit Chance.
MelusineControllable Wisp from Sing stance delivers sustained ranged damage, at the cost of immobility.
MerlinPotency runes empower the next Spell and his active grants Intangible plus max runes (DLC).

B tier — high payoff, higher commitment

HeroWhy B
ScarletWerewolf transform at night is powerful but demands form-timing; starts unlocked, so she is a fine teacher.
KintarōMounted Kuma heals Internal Damage over time, but dismounting makes him take 30% of Kuma’s damage (DLC).
RomeoShares the Until death do us part bond with Juliet; strong together, fragile alone (DLC).
JulietSame bond as Romeo; spends 15% max HP to heal him for 200% (overflow → Shield) (DLC).

Using the tiers

Pick an S-tier hero for your first clears, then branch into the A tier as you learn the day/night cycle and the Altar upgrades. The B tier heroes are the most rewarding once you know a run’s rhythm — especially Romeo and Juliet played as a pair. For kit details behind every rating, see the hero abilities guide, and for playstyle matching see the hero picking guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is this tier list based on win rates?

No. No official or community win-rate dataset exists for Ravenswatch. The tiers reflect kit design — self-sustain, clear speed, mobility and co-op value — measured against the real trait numbers on each hero page.

Who is the safest hero for a first run?

The Snow Queen and The Pied Piper. Both fight at range, and Pied Piper's 20-rat swarm plus Snow Queen's Chilled slow and 60-damage shatter keep pressure off you.

Which hero scales best in a four-player party?

Aladdin (250-damage AoE wish + revive Shield) and Geppetto (up to three 40-damage Dummies that draw aggro) contribute the most to a team without needing perfect play.
