Hypothetical Tier List for Arena Mode

[Rainy days.]

This topic is stupid, sure, but hear me out/this is merely an idea.
And most of this will be based on my own observations/personal expirence, mind you.

Also this will mostly be based on magic attacks, because all characters basically fight the same/have little difference in the melee department.

Feel free to comment/flame/provide feedback/whatever this, and I'll happily make changes accordingly.

Red Knight is tier 0. He is arguably the best for Arena Mode. His lightning not only bypasses shields from a long distance and instantly appears, but it can be easily spammed for free damage/cheap wins/etc. It can get pretty silly if you have the NG Lollipop and/or Bitey Bat/[insert similar Animal Orb here] to put more emphasis on your lightning spam, if you honestly wish to take it that far.

Bear/Saracen are tier 1.Reason for this, is juggling a player and/or juggling them into a corner only to follow it up with the tornado Splash Attack, will almost always guarntee an easy kill with minimal setup and very low risk, or at least, will result in doing massive damage to whoever you use it on. the tornado also acts as an obscure defense because players who dont pay attention, can easily be caught off guard by it. And because it can benefit with whatever your melee weapon is, weapons like the NG Gold Mace can cause tornanado to do crits, which reuslt in faster kills. The torando is gimmicky, but it's highly rewarding.

Blue Knight/Iceskimo are tier 2, with the former having slightly more significance. They have Ice magic; It freezes players. I'd place them higher then the Bear/Saracen, but the freeze attacks are incredibly telegraphed and depend on how well the target can unfreeze himself.

Pink Knight sits at tier 3. The rainbows from Pink Knight's magic can stun players for half a second. It's as telegraphed as Blue Knight/Iceskimo's ice magic, and it's arguably as effective as Red Knight's lightning. But because of how brief it is, and how slow it travels, it doesn't pose any real threat.

Gray Knight is tier 4 because being able to deploys bomb from anywhere make him prone to being unpredictable/chaotic, but he isn't an actual threat... Unless you let him be one.

And as far as I'm concerned, everyone else is tied for tier 5 for obveious reasons.

If this is an arena based post than i would say orange knight and blue knight are the best.

I'm the #2 ranked arena player btw :]

Why Orange Knight, though? His magic just does like 1-2 seconds of very minimal burn damage(aside from the initial splash damage hit, mind you). Doesn't seem as intimidating, IMO.

You don't kill your opponent with magic in arena. It doesn't work that way.

Oh I know.
But I stated "Also this will mostly be based on magic attacks, because all characters basically fight the same/have little difference in the melee department."
Now if some character had sme different combo that was purely melee attacks or something, then this list would be completetly different.
So mind the fact that this list is a little convoluted, please.

You said "He [Red Knight] is arguably the best for Arena Mode." That's why I thought you tried to kill your opponent with magic.

To be fair, it is a pretty derpy method of attack.

If Gray knight number 4 tier then why Royal guard and Conehead are tier 5? They have exact same magic attacks and don't suffer damage penalty from XXXY special magic attack like gray knight

Character choice will never be the deciding factor in a match between 2 high-leveled players.

Don't mislead people by saying you're #2 ranked when you used the auto-win glitch to boost your wins that high. It's nothing to be proud of.
