Character tier list?

[Terrarius]

How would you rank the 3 characters based on consistency for high ascension runs and high ascenion+ heart runs respectively?

From my limited experience it would seem like that:

-Silent is the best for both tasks because poison is a decent and easily obtainable damage-source and because her defensive cards are by far the best.

-Ironclad is the second best for both formats. He is more of a hit or miss type than the silent: his offense and defense are considerably weaker most of the time BUT if he gets rolling he realy wipes the floor with his opposition, waaaay harder than the Silent could ever dream of

- Defect is the worst for both formats. I think that because he is very reliant on good draw if he wants to properly set his orbs up which are the mainsource of his strengh.
He is the character i have the least experience with so it is likely that i am not playing him properly and that he is actually alot stronger during normal runs than i give him credit for but i am fairly certain that he realy sucks for heart-runs given how little time the heart gives for setup, how much damage it does and worst of all how much of a DPS check it is while limiting the damage per turn( thereby crippling dark orbs)

Silent is easily in the top 3 characters

Supposedly, chad n silent have nearly identical win rates, but I still don't quite get how to do it as consistently with chad. Meanwhile, on silent I can just go "Oh look, all the sources of weak, the fourth piercing wail, and guess I'll upgrade wraith form." etc.

Defect gets shafted a bit by only having one smol source of weak and no strength reduction. I think his win rate is the highest if you skip act 4, but I might be misremembering. #WokeBirb
