Which battlemode demon is the strongest in your opinion?

[Ken U]

Hey all, I was wondering what the consensus is on the demons in battlemode just for curiosity's sake.
I'm not gonna call for nerfs, buffs or tweaks as there are a lot of players who have much more time and experience than me. If you're wondering, I'm just lv 190 or so. Anyway, onto the actual topic.

I personally find fighting Pain elementals, or god forbid a pair of them, the most tedious out of all the demons. His shield stays up for plenty of time and has a short cooldown and it effectively lets him harass you for as long as it is up. When it goes down, he can usually maneuver behind some cover until it is up again, even more so when he gets the FIT MEATBALL upgrade. His weakness is pretty obvious, his huge hitbox, not a whole lot of damage output and just one dash to get away which if not used properly will get you destroyed by the slayer.

Next up is the Marauder. Not much to say, he's pretty fast and can do good damage with the shotgun at point blank. Very versatile. If his dodging game isn't good or the slayer's aim is true he does tend to die fairly quick, specially considering the marauder tends to stay close to do damage.

Close to the Marauder is the Archvile for me. His skill cap is pretty high, he can really mess up the slayer with his firewall and also destroy him with it, and obviously if you're not moving as the slayer in battlemode you're gonna die really quickly. The teleport is fun and can grant him precious seconds he needs for his wall to recharge, and the fire ground ability is okay.

Onto the last 2 on no particular order are the Revenant and Mancubus. I haven't personally played much with these so my descriptions will be short. The Revenant can do a crazy amount of damage with the rocket barrage, but he's pretty fragile. Lastly, the Mancubus obviously does a lot of damage with the flamethrower and he's the tankiest demon in terms of hp. If he gets close to the slayer, half the time it means game over for him. But of course he's pretty slow and needs to rely on ambushing the slayer, and at a distance his huge hitbox makes him a very easy target for PB and charged ballista shots.

The Slayer

Honestly, probably Pain Elementals. He is amazing and bordering on OP at essentially stalling until the DPS demon resurrects which is essential for high level play.

I don't think people should sleep on the Revenant though. His playstyle is definitely of a glass cannon, but thats not a bad thing. He isn't bad at running, and his cannons can whittle down some health before he can charge in at the end and finish the Slayer with his barrage.

Archvile and pain elemental seem like the best demons from my experience
Due to their shields

Probably PE, but Mancubus can be god tier if you're playing against less mobile slayers.

mancubus and pain elemental. Extremely good at bodyblocking and massive dps
