King Arthur: Knight's Tale - All Characters Tier List
hey everyone today i'm coming at you with another tier list and this is the big one that i've kind of been talking about for a little bit this is going to be the all characters tier list all 33 characters in the entire game i will be ranking for you now 33 characters is a lot and i don't want this being a super long video that's just kind of annoying and tedious no one wants to sit through an hour long video so i'll do my best to be as concise as possible in all of my explanations and hopefully they'll make sense now a couple things i obviously have to set the grounds for so we're on the same page as we're going through this together what am i tearing them on what is the scale ultimately if i were to summarize it how impactful do i think they are on your gameplay on your run do i think this character is so powerful because they do this one thing super super amazingly or they do a bunch of things really really well to the point where they're almost carrying your team or you're building the team around them or do i think they're just sort of average where you know the roles they offer is nothing really super special you know there's other characters that could perform that role just as well so it's fairly average or do i think this character and the role they bring to the team is just so weak there's pretty much no reason to use them you'll notice i do have deter included this time for all 33 characters i think it's fair enough to use it as there will be a large enough spread to warrant the d tier and the last thing to establish is what do the tears mean well s tier is going to be the heroes that i think just perform their role so extremely well that they can almost carry you better than any other character in that role or on the opposite side of that they may not do any one thing just absolutely amazing but they do all kinds of things so extremely well that they're just bringing so much to your team that they'll be filling multiple roles and doing them so well you will just almost be finding ways to build combos off of them a tier this is going to be the characters that you know are very strong they're doing their job very well compared to all of the other options you have available to you they definitely stand out in some way but i don't think their performance is anything sort of groundbreaking to the point where i think they're basically almost op in a way b-tier whatever they do they do it well nothing amazing per se but also nothing bad there's not going to be anything wrong with them you're not going to feel bad for using them but there's definitely going to be some other standouts that you'll probably pick before them if given the chance c tier is where the characters begin to show some weaknesses some holes whatever role they bring to the table and maybe don't do it quite as well as the other options you may have they aren't quite just flat out bad yet there's still some use to them it just may be a bit niche you know they may have some good opportunities but it's not going to be always available or as present or as effective in the you know full spread of scenarios you may find yourself in and they just kind of have a bit of a niche role they may be team comp dependent or alignment dependent you know that kind of stuff deter is when you get to the characters that are just not great you could bring them if you wanted to you can beat the game with any characters really but there's just a noticeable difference between these characters and the others where sure you can bring them but any of these other ones can do the same job but noticeably better i think that's everything i hope it makes sense and let's get into it kicking off the list we're going alphabetical order we have sir balin with an a the champion you get him really early in the game and he is a champion so he's very solid just overall all the champions do you know very good damage that's the role they bring is damage dealing and sort of a sub role is armor breaking i mean all classes have some armor break but they definitely do it the best and when it comes to damage dealing as a champion he's really good but their main competition of that being the vanguards and even i think arcanist to a degree they may do a bit more damage than arcanists but they don't have any of the utility and his damage i don't think really stands out amongst the other main damage dealers amongst the vanguards amongst the champions nothing really helps him stand out so this is probably our first good example of a b tier he's very solid but nothing he does in his role is super amazing nothing really stands out next up is his brother balon with an eye i have no idea if i'm supposed to be pronouncing these differently or not but whatever vanguard ballon he's a lot like his brother he's very standard as far as the damage dealers go nothing really stands out he has a very generic skill tree for his class even and no utility the vanguard much like the champion i mean doesn't even have the sort of subrole of armor break if you're not running a champion it kind of defaults to them because they're going to be doing the most damage in your group but even then earlier on in the game it's not going to be great so because he only offers damage dealing and there are other damage dealers that are better than him i think and stand out more he's also beater keeping the brothers together next is betavir another vanguard and he's an old faith alignment locked hero he's a little bit worse than the other vanguards one thing he has going for him is he's the only old faith vanguard there's two neutrals two christians and he's the one old faith so if you really want that loyalty bonus he does have that going for him but his skills overall are a bit worse i think lightning trap is worse than jumping attack and sprint is worse than jump they aren't terrible but i do think they're worse so generally you're better off picking any of the other vanguards but because he isn't terrible and if you really want that alignment bonus he's the one you're gonna go with so he does i think fill in the niche spot and therefore is c tier next up is the black knight and i think the black knight is probably the best champion in the game i'm not taking into account gear like teleport on kill and stuff as that really does sort of close the gap between them just looking at their skills because gear is rng dependent champions do amazing damage especially as you get later into the game they really take off but the biggest detriment to their damage dealing is their lack of mobility well the black knight has mobility and it comes with an aoe and that aoe synergizes so strongly with their other tier three skills like killing spree and that's just it can't be overstated how strong that is i feel like being able to shore up their biggest weakness while also playing into their strengths simultaneously i just it's just one move but that one move makes such a huge difference and i think allows him to pull off some sweeps and some combos that just no other champion can do and allows him to just take off in a way as a damage dealer that honestly can not really be matched by most other damage dealers in the game so i do think he goes into esteer next up is our first marksman sir boris and unfortunately without that gear in the end game marksman just are not great they're good in act one they're okay in act 2 and nosedive hard after that and unfortunately sir boris has like no utility with him he has mark target which is okay but it only works for ranged attacks no utility to speak of he's basically a damage dealer that's his role and he's not good at it there is something to be said about being ranged it offers some safety but so many team comps have so many tools to boost up survivability where range doesn't become as big of an advantage as it may originally be at the beginning of the game so because of that he goes into deterior next up is podesia or boudicca however you pronounce it i i don't know i've tried researching it i get different answers bardicia she's a vanguard and she's neutral which can be a bit of a downside you're gonna have to feed some events to her but you can get her to faithful and she's the best vanguard in the game she has the best damage because she has two damage upgrades on her strike attack so in terms of damage dealer she just skill tree wise is the strongest in damage dealing off of that but she also brings support she's like the only character i think where their main role is damage dealing that also has support baked into their skill tree and that's huge encouragement is a great skill it's not like absolutely amazing like inspire for example but it's still really really good it can really help set up the party to wipe out the rest of the enemies after she's done going on her killing spree herself so due to being one of the highest damage dealers amongst the damage dealers as well as having support on top of that i think she's a very solid ester she does her job very well and brings in something extra on top of it next is sir brunor he's a lot like balon the only difference is they have two skills swapped in their skill tree where he has defensive stance in tier 1 instead of power attack he's very bland but he is tyrant the main thing is he has to compete against the black knight and i see no reason to use brunor over the black knight unless you just really really want that defensive stance so again he's not bad but he's just very standard so b-tier next up is dagonet and dagnet is actually so so good out of all the arcanist he is the king of the debuffs he has so many cheap spells with desecrated ground stigma he can cycle with mindstorm a lot easier he can actually get off a couple death hexes in a single turn much more consistently than other ones and death hexes an absolutely just crazy good skill and he has an aoe slow in the form of desecrated ground it also does damage his damage isn't great but his debuffing is so insane and sort of compensated through death hex which isn't like normal damage because it comes back at the end of their turn but it's a great setup tool and can just combo so strongly and help secure kills it's basically damage and because of this just ability to cycle so much do so many debuffs and double death hex i do think he goes a nest here i'm personally i know some people absolutely think he's kind of nuts and so i'm not of the exact same mind but i do think putting him an s is fair but if someone maybe want to put a i could understand where they're coming from on that too for me i think he can go in us next up is sir thomas and he's the tyrant christian alignment hero and he's a marksman and i think he's probably the highest damage dealing marksman but even the best damage dealing marksman is not as good a damage dealer as pretty much anyone else he offers no utility he has gas trap which is terrible his what is it not smothering shot but um crippling shot has like a single target slow i guess on it it's just it's not great his utility is not enough to bring him out of d tier and his damage is still too low to warrant it as well didn't drain she's a very standard marksman i think she's probably the strongest early game marksman due to having burning arrow and poison arrow and i think she has some potential after the buff comes in but as it currently stands she's just also d-tier up next is ector and he's an arcanist so he's very good by the nature of being an arcanist but you're not using him a lot of the time a lot of players he's just the dust generator they stick him in the tower and never touch him again and that's because if you're going old faith which is half of the alignment options he's the weakest option there's better picks for arcanist with literally any of the other ones again he's not bad he's just power crapped really so if you're going christian in my experience how i play a lot of people i've talked to that play rightful christian they don't use actor either they stack up on sages instead and so they don't use them in that alignment either so there's only one out of the four alignments that he seems to consistently get use in and that's tyrant christian and he's really good entire christian because he's your only arcanist and i think that's kind of the definition of sea tier he's not bad by any means but he's extremely alignment dependent now we get to the farrier knight who's a very special one and very different from the rest of the mold of his arcanist brethren and he's a little bit of a weird one to place role wise he's sort of a tank you know a variant tank not the same traditional types of bulkiness and he's also kind of a damage dealer he is very good at picking off the back line he's sort of an assassin and he does both of these surprisingly well actually he can tank much better than you may think initially and he can get a lot of damage picks very well on top of that so i don't think he's anything crazy that puts him into esteer but i think he definitely stands out above average in terms of the roles he feels because that flexibility has i think that's also a very good strength of his and a lot of people sort of make teams to accommodate for that and get some really good results next is galahad and he's probably the best defender in the game he has all the strong defensive utility you want with taunt and guard and shield charge on top of that he has some debuff or crowd control with a melee stun and he has buffing support with divine favor which i think is one of the strongest support abilities in the game personally i think it's better than inspire that's you know a bit subjective some people you know fight me on that but for me i think it's probably the best buff support ability in the game so not only is he tanking he's also supporting through buffs and to cc it's just phenomenal he's an s tier he's going in pretty much every single christian team without a doubt up next we have gawain and he kind of straddles the fence a bit for me as a defender he's neutral which neutral is generally worse than having an alignment having alignment may lock you out of certain playthroughs but in a lot of cases neutral locks you out of all of them you get him super late in the game so you're gonna have to feed him events to get his loyalty up and there's just better characters to feed events to his negative trait is so bad it's worth consideration when tearing him active skills cost three skill points to learn so that's a huge pain and his skill tree just is nothing super crazy i mean he has that defensive utility that you're gonna want from your defenders but there's really no reason to take him over the other ones because he's just such a pain to use i honestly i think he belongs in d deer he's just there's no reason to use him there just isn't not even really niche wise if you're going christian you're definitely not using him and for old faith there's two others that i think probably fit better than him and we'll get to them later now we have sir geraint he's the old faith rightful alignment locked hero and he's actually the only old faith marksman so if you really do want to run a marksman and you're doing old faith he's the one for you if you want to get those loyalty bonuses marksman obviously aren't super strong but he does offer utility and that's the one thing no other marksman offers in any meaningful way his shock arrow is really good it can shock up to four targets that are spread very far apart and shock is one of the strongest debuffs in the game i think he has enough utility to compensate for his marksman damage that i think it just barely brings him up to see it here it's like bottom of c tier but i do think he does worm his way up into there because i could see you using him at least whereas all these other ones i just cannot see you using reaching our first sage of the tier list i believe we have lady guinevere and she's a strong one she offers that good support the buffs that you come to expect from sages but she does have something that helps her stand out a bit she's not just playing the role of support through buffing she's also playing the role of a bit of a damage dealer sort of a secondary damage dealer but still damage she has teleport which is an absolutely amazing tool like with fairy knight to get to that back line of enemies and start picking off those enemy archers or spell casters and due to the fact that she is you know a duo roll unit many people use this her as their primary sage and i can see why i don't think she's super busted or anything she's not going to be carrying your team you're not going to be building your team around her i don't think this she's like on the same level as these sdr characters but she's a very very solid a tier for sure next is lady isolda and much like guinevere she is a dual role sage she is entirely support but she offers buffing and debuffing support so she is both boosting the party and weakening the enemy she has iceland and ice aura now ice lance is very strong it's a ranged freeze very strong debuff as well as just having the buffing support she's very impactful on your play i think a lot of people that you know go old faith use solder a lot and i think there's a good reason for that i think she brings good support of both kinds so i think she goes into a tier now we have sir k the first character you get in the game he's a champion he's honestly just kind of niche i think his negative trait is another one of those traits that i think is annoying enough that it's worth mentioning especially if you're playing on the higher difficulties his skills overall are a bit worse than the other champions i mean i think deathstrike is just marginally worse than power attack kik is good and that's just extra but then he's preparedness which is terrible so i just i don't really see many cases in taking him over the other champions especially because he's neutral that being said you can't still bring him if you do really like the fact that he has kick i think kik is sort of his saving grace and puts him as sort of a niche pick rather than a bad pick now we have lancelot the rightful alignment champion and he's really really good he is the role of damage dealer and support he's not a primary damage dealer he's a secondary he's missing rage so his damage isn't going to be as good as the other champions but he does compensate by bringing in powerful utility he has inspired above the party he has radiance to debuff the enemies with blinds or and chill and vulnerability all three into one i believe and he has ice spikes which gives him extra aoe which can also apply chill so he just brings so many different things to the group i don't think he's gonna be caring by any means because i don't think he has the damage for it if he had rage 100 i think he'd be the best champion in the game he also has mobility with assault so i think his damage is the only thing where it just doesn't put him into s but he does a lot of things very well that you will definitely notice his impact on your group moving on to lanville he's a neutral champion the only reason you really pick him is early on he has access to defensive stance if you would really rather have that over balanced power attack once you get later into the game though you're definitely going to be replacing him with someone else the only sort of really use i seen some people mention having him for is to sort of cheese the training grounds and even that i think is a big boon so i'm going to put him in c because he still does good damage as a champion class that's sort of what saves him but there's really no reason to pick him in most cases over your other champions the next rightful hero is sir leo de grantz he is a sage and he's sort of the vanilla sage nothing super special about him but he's still very good he offers good buff support he's a little bit of battlefield control with ice wall but mostly he's just support he buffs and you know he does it well because he's a sage following him up is going to be sir luken he is the rightful christian alignment hero and he's also a sage and he's a bit different he has much less sort of support than the other sages because he doesn't have ice wall most of the sages have ice wall he does not have that so he's missing some battlefield control but he's a bit more aggressive so he's more of a damage dealer compared to them than you know supporting the party i don't think he's better than sir leo honestly i like the way his skill tree is built more but i don't think he's any stronger i think he may actually be a little weaker because ice ball is such a strong utility it brings for the party and he doesn't really have that he's more of a damage dealer with support and you know as a secondary damage dealer he's all right i think he's not quite as good as gwyn in that regard and yeah so that i think drops him down to b now we have merlin and i think everyone knows where he's gonna go merlin is just absolutely nuts he has all kinds of crazy skills he has illusion teleport mind fog he's one of the higher damage dealing arcanists not taking into account death hex which is kind of cheating but just in terms of his damage skills he's definitely probably the highest damage dealing and he's really really good at it plus he can just pick up those souls with his illusions just he has utility coming out the ass he's definitely asked here now we have the main character of the game sir mordred he doesn't have a whole lot of defensive utility he's missing guard and he's missing taunt which are very strong skills instead he goes for the debuffing route he has chain lightning he has thunderbolt he has stigma he stuns the targets he shocks them to try and prevent them from reaching you or limiting their actions or he debuffs them so you can kill them easier this is very strong but generally you want your defenders to be offering that defensive support i think he does debuff well so he's more of a debuff unit and you have to play more smartly with him to meet wall correctly so because of that i do think he goes into b-tier but i think he's a very high b tier moving on to morgana another arcanist she's probably my favorite arcanist in the game she has just great ice skills she has a number of ways to apply freeze or chill very strong debuffs she has very high single target damage she probably has the highest single target damage out of all the arcanists due to the death hex and glacial strike combo just phenomenal her spells do tend to be amongst the most expensive so she can't mind storm cycle quite as well so when it comes to debuffing and damage dealing she can't do it quite as well as you know the s-tier arcanist but because her damage is so high i do think she fits into a tier next up is another kick-ass lady spell caster and that's morgos she's the mutually exclusive hero that you have to choose between either merlin or her and a lot of people pick merlin understandably so and i think she really gets overshadowed and underestimated how strong she is she is probably hands down the best debuffer in the game i think because she can offer chill freeze stun and shock four different types of debuffs all in one unit with ice plates to offer great survivability she can do so many different things to shut down the enemy party that honestly when you have her in your group you'll be finding that you'll be just comboing off of her with your other debuffers all of the time and just setting up such huge shutdowns of the enemy team i i can't put her anywhere but asked here now we have sir peleus and he is the most vanilla defender and i think in a vacuum looking at just the defenders probably the worst one because he doesn't really offer anything that none of the other ones don't also offer however you get him early on and he has taunt and guard if you're going old faith the only defender you get really is mordred or gawain later in act 3. so if you really want a defender that can bring that defensive utility that defenders are known for he can bring that because mordred can't so he's sort of a niche pick if you want a taunt defender for the old faith alignment and because of that i think he goes into c tier i think you're better off using mordred but some people really like having a defender that can use taunt and guard and if that's the case peleus is the one for you we have yet another defender up next and that's sir percival and honestly he's just kind of a knockoff galahad he's extremely strong he's just also christian so if you're doing a christian run you're gonna get galahad so i don't see why you wouldn't pick galahad so that really reduces the impact he's going to be bringing because he shares the exact same roles as gal had defensive support and buff support he has encouragement which i think is just worse than divine favor and then just all the same defensive abilities that galahad brings the difference is i think percival maybe has a bit better damage with his immolation skill but he has less crowd control because he doesn't have a stun in the form of divine smite he's good at all of his roles but he's just nothing super amazing and his impact is definitely reduced by the fact that there's just a him but better that you will always have access to if you're going with that alignment up next we have the red knight and the red knight is sort of an interesting one he can do a lot of different things and that's a huge plus for him it's always great when you have a character that's flexible and can sort of fill different play styles but unlike fairy knight he doesn't do them quite as well he can go defensive if you spec him that way but it won't be as good as his other defenders his defensive utility isn't as strong he doesn't have guard and he doesn't have a taunt he has mock which is just a weaker taunt if you want to build him offensively you can do that and you can be your highest damage dealing defender of the group but defender damage still isn't great so if you're trying to make him a sort of secondary damage dealer he's not a great secondary damage dealer if you want to do a hybrid you know you get some of both and you know master a nun you know kind of thing he is still fairly useful due to his flexibility and he is an option as an old faith tyrant run so old faith does get access to another defender and it's still not one with huge defensive utility so it's more than mordred less than peleus but more damage than peleus and mordred i think this is a pretty good c tier i really like him but the roles he's filling he's just not as great at it as a lot of the other options you have available to you next up is teger he's the exact same as balon only regular christian instead of tyrant christian they have the exact same skill tree he's going to go in the exact same tier as ballin next we have sir tristan who's a dead unit when you first get him so that's not great in terms of impact and he does feel the role as a damage dealer because he's a vanguard but he also has a bit of debuffing the problem is his impact as a damage dealer is diminished because he doesn't have assassination so he does less damage than the other vanguards and he doesn't get ap refunds quite as strong as the other vanguards which diminishes his damage dealing even more he does offer some debuffing but i don't think the poison debuffs are strong enough to really compensate for the lack of damage that he misses out on because of it because of that i think he's probably gonna be like a high b tier because his damage isn't bad but he's probably one of the weakest main damage dealers as far as that role goes and his debuffing also isn't great when you're comparing them to other debuffers our last champion for the list is the white knight he's very powerful he has some sort of cheesy combos you can do with stacking blessed weapon so he has a very high damage ceiling but he doesn't have mobility and because he doesn't have mobility that indirectly hurts his damage dealing potential and because of that while his raw numbers may be high he doesn't get the ability to use it quite as efficiently as some of your other damage dealers i think that puts him into a tier lastly is evan he's a marksman so he's going in d tier he has zero utility and two of his unique skills are garbage assassination is a good skill but essentially useless on him yeah deter and that wraps up this tier list that is every single character i hope where i placed them made sense and the reasoning for why i put them there made sense i tried real hard you know going into this video trying to make sure i had a coherent scale and i was able to explain it if it just none of it made sense to you and i would just seem like i was arbitrarily placing characters somewhere i apologize but you know i did my best and that's all you're gonna get from me i hope this list was helpful or informative to some players out there and as always thanks for watching
