Faction Tier list

[UnknownBeardedSniper13]

Is there a tier list in this game or are all factions perfectly balanced? If there is which is the best in your opinion?worst?

Tau,Necron,Eldar are strongest ones,then everyone else!

It's hard to say, the balance here is rather asymetrical.

Most people will agree that Eldar and Tau are the "strongest", but against good players Tau has a really horrible time vs Orks (and Necrons in some circumstances), while Eldar don't really have a bad matchup.

Orks, same case. No real bad matchup, but they are the only race that can get easily nuked back to tier 1 in tech.

IG only has problems with Necrons, it can take on everyone else pretty well.

DE are tricky, many will say they are overpowered, but I think they require a really good gut feeling to play well. There is also the issue that in some matchups they get horribly outmatched in the later tiers, as well as the fact that almost none of their untis scale througout the match.

Necrons are map dependand and play very differently than any other race in the game, and have one hell of an awful time fighting Eldar.

I'm not sure how to judge SM, same case with Chaos. Both will commonly get destroyed by IG, funnily enough.

Sisters are definetly the weakest in multiplayer 1v1, mostly because their basic SoB squad is kinda trashy. They are the most underplayed race as well though, and they have quite a few good tactics to pull out. In team games they can just go mass inferno pistol + cele spam so they melt every vehicle on the field, and the Exorcist is arguably the best artillery in the game, so there's that.

I disagree with the Exorcist, the IG has the best Artillery.
