Dirty Bomb merc tier list! (outdated)

A tier list for all mercs currently in the game.(Javelin patch)

Introduction

This is a 4 tier list:

Tier 1: Very good mercs in almost any scenario. Often included in many different comps.

Tier 2: Overall good mercs that can fit in certain comps or mercs that absolutely dominate on certain maps.

Tier 3: Average mercs that fill some unconventional role or are included as an occasional tech choice.

Tier 4: Overall bad mercs that cant keep up with others and rarely see any play.

Tier 1

Fragger: like always the best assault merc who has very good 1v1 potential and can open up pushes with a good nade.

Aura: The only merc with a health station. good movement and the most reliable healing in the game, although she forces a more defensive playstile.

Sawbonez: more of an off medic, but very good in combat and single.target health supply. Also a very safe pick

Arty: Very efficient fire support, good airstrikes and fighting. A monster on EV maps like Chapel

Kira: Very difficult to play right but some really good ammo and AoE damage. the best mulikill potential in the game. on maps like underground she can stall the C4 aswell

Javelin: Super high single-target damage, best ammo supply in the game. She doesnt really have any downsides

Fletcher: High skill ceiling but when played right by far the best engineer. Hard counters squishies

Tier 2

Sparks: Super good for reviving but her lack of healing hurts her. She should always be played as a second medic

Phoenix: efficient AoE healing but gets kind of outclassed by sawbonez. Not a bad medic tho. worth picking up

Stoker: Very good at area-denial in smaller maps or in stalling out a C4. Completely dominates Underground but also good on other maps

Redeye: The best sniper in the game. Very good fragging potential and has a lot of utility with his smoke

Proxy: very fast engineer who can get a few kills with good mine placement.

Tier 3

Bushwacker: A pretty slow merc who forces a really defensive playstile. really difficult to make work on attack. has some use tho

Turtle: also forces a defensive playstile. His shield can be taken down or played around pretty easily and he doesnt offer anything beyond his shield. in a really defensive comp with aura, stoker etc. he can work

Skyhammer: A merc who has an overall good kit but is mostly outclassed by Arty

Aimee: a sniper who can work if the player is very good but if you have a player that good he should rather play fragger if you want something to get kills

Tier 4

Vassilli: is pretty much a more noob-friendly version of aimee but lacks mobility.

Thunder: good 1v1 potential. his flashbangs can be a good setup for a push but you need alot of coordination. his flashes are more annoying than helpfull tho. needs alot of coordination to maybe make work

Rhino: The Meme-Maschine, good close range damage but not really good for anything else. he is too slow for dirty bomb

Nader: Good for spamming generators but hasnt really anything going for her besides that. gets hugely outclassed by fragger

Phantom: Annoying for Engineers but not really anything else he can do against anyone. Pick any other assault really.

END

Did i miss something? Do you have a different opinion? let me know in the comments

Thanks for reading

This is actually garbage, Proxy higher than Bushwhacker and Turtle? Nader is fantastic for lots of situations and Vassili is definitely higher than Aimee :O

[ttplatti]

what a ♥♥♥♥ list ur played dirty bomb? i think not

[Anoobis]

Well
Considering you just copy and pasted the communityes opinion and made it into a list it looks pretty fine to me except for kira, nader an vasilli
Kira: to me she just seems like a cheap combination of stoker and arty/skyhammer. Her Laser doesnt do a whole lot to the ev and is useless indoors
Nader: even tho my aim sucks like a vacuum cleaner i know the crazy damage potential of Naders Pipes and her "Du bist sowas von Tod" Martyrdom is easily one of my favourite things to do. And yes I AM in love with this Heidigirl dont judge me
Vasilli: as I said I suck at aiming but the sheer fact that a semi competent Vasi can absolutely demolish any skilled team at any range. Never gonna pass my Daggerdoo but I see where his strength comes from

I might not be the most experienced player but I know enough people that are and from what I know with enogh teamwork and coordination you can make everything work (even rhino for that matter)

Bushwhacker is perfectly servicable even on offense. His turret can prevent flanking attacks and you can use it to cover the c4 or slow down pursuers while you deliver cores. That said, he's definitely more at home fighting for the CDA.

Nader Tier 4?? r u fckn kidding me ?

[alek]

xd proxy tier 2

[Big Bad BoB]

Turtle is a best pusher with teamate

This list is trash and was created by someone who only plays casual.

[The MrDef3ctive]

Vassili and Aimee require much different play styles and I think Vassili is better than Aimee for one reason, and one reason only. I prefer Bolt-Action Sniper Rifles (2/3 for Vassili and 1/3 Aimee), the recoil on Semi-Automatic snipers (2/3 for Aimee and 1/3 for Vassili sniper rifle choices) is too much for me. I think in this guide setup, Vassili belongs in Tier 2 (Minus the comp part). Vassili dominates in almost every map if you're good with him, you just need the right card.
