Which Characters Are Dominating Supervive Lobbies
Superviveis still in its early stages. Balance changes, new characters, and potential reworks will always have the potential to drastically shake up the meta. Additionally, some characters, such as Void, Jin, and Brall, are mechanically more difficult to play. This list, then, willprimarily focus on a character’s overall kit and future potentialas player skill and knowledge increases.

Thebattle royale genreis one where chaos thrives. On the road to a win, being third-partied, fighting in unfavorable positions, or needing to escape are inevitable. To truly excel in a battle royale,characters need to either have or provide ways to subside the unpredictable nature of the game. The characters sitting at the top are the ones who best provide these tools: space control, escape, and the ability to make chaotic situations manageable.
Which Characters Are The Best & Why
These Characters Have The Best Tools Needed For A Battle Royale
Oath is the best example of a top-tier character; he has it all. His hallmark ability is his shield, itself reminiscent ofOverwatchcharacter Reinhardt’s iconic tool, which blocks all projectiles from the front while allowing allies to shoot through it. He also brings with him multiple crowd control and space denial tools. His Q, Regen Zone, both heals allies and revives wisps, which can make contesting difficult when tied with his shield. Compare this to Elluna, whose kit is almost exclusively healing focused, and who doesn’t have the durability to truly maximize those healing tools.
Deadlock: Character Tier List
The beta test for Deadlock offers 21 heroes to choose from. These heroes are well-balanced, but some are more niche to use than others.
Other standouts include Myth, with a long range left-click, close range options, spectacular movement and solid space control. Zeph and Void both provide team-wide movement options, perfect for creating and escaping unfavorable positions. Joule has near-unmatched mobility with an immense single target and AOE damage potential. However, every character presents their own strengths that can carry teams when utilized properly. Kingpin can win a game with a well-timed hook, Celeste can deny an entire screen with her ult, and Shiv and Jin can both team-wipe if left unchecked. Ultimately, it’s up to the player to unlock their character’s potential inSupervive.
