Detailed Character Analysis: Every Survivor Ranked
Guest 1337 (S-Tier) - The Unstoppable Force
Guest 1337 sits at the absolute peak of Survivor gameplay. His kit feels almost unfair - and I mean that in the best way possible. The charge ability alone can knock Killers flat on their backs, creating massive distance. Combine that with invisibility for stealth escapes and a devastating stun punch, and you've got a character that can 1v1 any Killer in the game.
What makes Guest 1337 truly special is his solo carry potential. While other Survivors need teamwork to shine, this absolute unit can clutch entire matches by himself. Master his timing, and you'll frustrate Killers into rage-quitting.
Shedletsky (A-Tier) - The Balanced Warrior
Shedletsky brings the perfect mix of offense and defense to every match. His sword slash doesn't just damage - it stuns Killers long enough for critical escapes. When things get rough, chomping down on some fried chicken provides instant healing plus regeneration over time.
I've won countless matches with Shedletsky by playing smart rather than aggressive. He rewards players who know when to fight and when to run. Simple to learn but with a high skill ceiling - exactly what you want in a main character.
007n7 (A-Tier) - The Master of Deception
Playing 007n7 feels like psychological warfare. His clone ability completely scrambles a Killer's decision-making. I've watched Killers waste entire abilities on my clones while I casually complete objectives across the map. The stealth tools from his hacking background add another layer of evasion.
The catch? Experienced Killers learn to spot clone patterns. That's why 007n7 dominates in beginner to intermediate lobbies but requires more finesse against veterans. Still an incredible pick for players who love mind games.
Dusekkar (A-Tier) - The Team's Guardian Angel
Dusekkar transforms good teams into unstoppable forces. His Spawn Protection creates a 10-second invincibility bubble - perfect for reviving teammates or finishing critical objectives. The Plasma Beam simultaneously speeds up allies while slowing Killers, creating game-changing momentum shifts.
As a bonus, Dusekkar levitates instead of walking, making his footsteps nearly silent. He's the ultimate support character, though he struggles in solo queue when teammates don't coordinate.
Two Time (B-Tier) - The Comeback King
Two Time's recent rework catapulted him from trash tier to actually viable. His Ritual ability grants a literal second life - the only Survivor with this game-breaking passive. Combined with damage abilities, self-healing, and invisibility, he's become surprisingly versatile.
The character still feels inconsistent compared to top tiers, but that extra life clutches so many endgame scenarios. Perfect for newer players who need that safety net.
Builderman (B-Tier) - The Constructor
Builderman turns the map into your playground. Healing dispensers keep your team healthy during extended chases, while stunning sentries create no-go zones for Killers. He's incredibly powerful with coordinated teams but feels underwhelming solo.
I recommend Builderman for players who enjoy strategic gameplay over direct confrontation. Set up your defenses right, and Killers will struggle to maintain pressure.
Chance (B-Tier) - The Wildcard
Chance embodies pure RNG chaos. Every ability involves dice rolls or coin flips - you might get game-winning buffs or completely whiff. His potential peaks include shooting Killers, instant healing, and status effect removal. When luck's on your side, he rivals S-tier characters.
The inconsistency drives me crazy, but some players love the gambling aspect. If you enjoy high-risk, high-reward gameplay, Chance delivers unforgettable moments.
Noob (B-Tier) - The Reliable Starter
Don't let the name fool you - Noob offers a solid, balanced kit perfect for learning Forsaken's mechanics. Speed boosts help in chases, temporary invisibility enables stealth plays, and the Slateskin potion provides clutch healing. He's free, making him everyone's first character.
While Noob won't carry games like Guest 1337, he teaches fundamental skills that transfer to every other Survivor. A respectable pick even for experienced players.
Taph (B-Tier) - The Trap Master
Taph excels at area control through strategic trap placement. Tripwires reveal Killer positions while Subspace Mines inflict debilitating status effects. In tight maps with chokepoints, a good Taph player becomes incredibly annoying to deal with.
The problem? Open maps neutralize his kit, and solo queue teammates rarely capitalize on your trap setups. Taph requires specific conditions to shine, limiting his overall effectiveness.
Elliot (C-Tier) - The Pizza Delivery Guy
Elliot desperately needs a rework. His entire kit revolves around throwing healing pizzas to teammates - great in theory, terrible when your team scatters. The speed buffs feel minimal compared to other Survivors' escape tools.
I only recommend Elliot if you're playing with a coordinated squad on voice chat. In solo queue, you'll spend more time chasing teammates to heal than actually surviving.
Detailed Character Analysis: Every Killer Ranked
1x1x1x1 (S-Tier) - The Corruption Incarnate
1x1x1x1 breaks the game in the best possible way. His poison and glitch effects stack to create absolutely miserable experiences for Survivors. But here's the real kicker - Rejuvenate the Rotten resurrects dead Survivors as zombie minions. The longer the match goes, the stronger he becomes.
I've seen skilled 1x1x1x1 players completely shut down coordinated teams. His only weakness is the high skill floor - button mashers won't unlock his true potential. Master his ability rotations, and you'll understand why he costs 1250 points.
John Doe (A-Tier) - The Tactical Nightmare
John Doe rewards cerebral players who think three steps ahead. His corruption-based abilities create environmental hazards that funnel Survivors into killzones. The 404 Error ability reveals all Survivor locations for 4 seconds - absolutely devastating in endgame scenarios.
While not as straightforward as c00lkidd's aggression, John Doe's kit offers unmatched map control. Patient players who enjoy setting traps rather than mindless chasing will find him incredibly satisfying.
c00lkidd (A-Tier) - The Speed Demon
c00lkidd embodies pure aggression. His sprint speed leaves most Survivors in the dust, while powerful punches and surprise jumps secure quick downs. The Pizza Delivery ability spawns robot minions that hunt and reveal Survivor positions - because why chase when your minions do it for you?
At 900 points, c00lkidd offers the best value among premium Killers. He's simple to learn but devastatingly effective. Perfect for players who want immediate results without complex mechanics.
Jason (B-Tier) - The Learning Curve
Jason serves his purpose as the free starter Killer. His slash attacks inflict Bleeding, Helpless, and Slowness - solid status effects that teach timing and positioning. Raging Pace boosts speed while revealing the nearest Survivor, preventing those frustrating "where did everyone go?" moments.
Here's the truth: Jason can't compete with premium Killers. But he's free, teaches fundamentals, and remains viable in casual matches. Every Killer main started here, and there's no shame in that.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the absolute best character in Forsaken?
For Survivors, Guest 1337 dominates with his knock-down charge, invisibility, and stun punch combo. For Killers, 1x1x1x1's poison effects and zombie resurrection ability make him nearly unstoppable in skilled hands.
Which characters should beginners start with?
I recommend starting with Noob (Survivor) and Jason (Killer) since they're free and teach core mechanics. Once you've saved enough points, upgrade to Shedletsky or c00lkidd for more competitive gameplay.
Do tier lists change with game updates?
Absolutely! Forsaken developers regularly balance characters - Two Time's recent rework jumped him from D-tier to B-tier. I update these rankings monthly to reflect the current meta.
Is it worth buying expensive characters like 1x1x1x1?
If you're serious about dominating as a Killer, 1x1x1x1 is worth every point. However, mid-tier characters like c00lkidd (900 points) offer better value for casual players.
Can low-tier characters still win matches?
Skill matters more than character choice, but higher-tier characters provide significant advantages. I've seen talented Elliot players outperform bad Guest 1337 users, though it's an uphill battle.
Which characters work best for solo players?
Guest 1337 and Shedletsky excel in solo queue due to self-sufficient kits. Avoid team-dependent characters like Elliot or Dusekkar unless you're playing with friends.
How do I counter top-tier characters?
Against Guest 1337, bait out his charge before committing to attacks. For 1x1x1x1, focus on quick eliminations before he builds zombie armies. Map knowledge and prediction beat raw character power.
Should I main one character or learn multiple?
I suggest mastering 2-3 characters to adapt to different team compositions and maps. Start with one main, then expand your roster as you improve.
