My Evil Genius 2 Henchmen Tier List

An Evil Tier List for Evil Genius 2!

Poor

-Carl Cafard. Carl is the WORST henchmen in the game. He has decent health, low damage and his abilities SUCK. His first ability is Cunning trap, cunning trap traps agents and does morale damage, but it does not even trigger all the time. His second action, imperfect replica should provide rouges with fake loot to steal, even though the action does not even work 50% of the time.

Average

-Janet Bombe, Janet is a pretty bad henchmen, but she has a few good things abilities. Janet has low damage melee attack, and decent stats, but here abilities are her strong suit. Her first action is remote detonation, which hijacks an agents weapon and turns its against them, with different effects. Her second action is scramble evidence, which reduces large amounts of suspicion from Agents.


-Clara Jones, Clara is a low tier deception henchmen, with decent abilities. Her first action is Heirs and Graces, which is a very strong action which lets Clara do massive resolve and suspicion damage to Agents. Her second action is Knowledge of the Ancients, which gives a very bad buff to a trap, increasing its potential to hit Agents.


- Agent X, Agent X is a very mid-tier yellow hero, with decent abilities, but is brought down from a mid tier because he is extremely hard to get, as you need to progress through all of the story and complete his side story. His first ability, Bow Out, makes him go inactive for a few seconds while he replenishes his stats. Sadly, this ability is a re skin that all of the super hero henchmen have, so for the other henchmen I wont be covering this ability. His next ability, Agent Noir, which is marginally better then his first, lets Agent X move through the cover operation without being hampered by tourists. Agent X fights like a normal investigator with duel pistols, but by far deserves his average position.

Good

-Incendio, Incendio is a good deception henchmen, even though he has his flaws. His abilities are quite good, effective, and he has a high-damage ranged attack. Incendio's first action is Magic Trick, which draws Agents and Tourists in, and does high resolve damage. His second action, Misdirection, lets Incendio become invisible to Tourists, to distract Agents easier. Incendio would place higher, except for his ranged attack, which can burn down your cover operation, and kill your Minions.

-Atomic Olga. Sadly, Atomic Olga, the best Super Agent in the base game, comes in only above the average mark in this ranking. Olga is a pretty decent combat hero, but her abilites really let her down. Olga's first ability, which we talked about earlier, lets her regain all stats. Olga's second ability basically turns her into IRIS, where she makes a ray (Identical to IRIS's, Re skin Alert?) that alerts guards at your guard table to come to Olga's aid. Olga's combat prowess really brings up her score, but she being very hard to get, and her horrible abilites bring her down to earth.

- Wrecking Bola. Bola is a pretty average Super Agent henchmen, with good combat abilites, but she falls behind on her abilities, much like Atomic Olga. Bola's first ability is like Agent X and Olga's, where she recovers all her stats. Bola's second ability lets her get extra armor and resistances, which really helps in a combat situation. Bola especially shines in combat, all though not as much as Olga, but is brought down by her abilites and difficulty to get.

Great

-Dr. Magnolia Ming. Dr Ming is a very good Henchmen, having multiple crowd control and healing abilities, with a strong melee attack. Dr. Ming's first action, Contagion, lets Dr. Ming throw a canister of gas at Agents that does extreme damage, but can also hit your Minions and Henchmen. Her second action, cure, can heal your Minions, and Agents, so its best to keep her in the back. (Note, i would place Dr. Ming in S Tier instead of Fugu, but because of Fugu's scheme's she will place higher.)
-Espectro. Espectro, coming with the Cabal DLC, is a very good support and damage dealing henchmen. (Note, Espectro's ranking is based on his own skills by himself, excluding the R.A.Y.G.U.N device and the Cabal Indoctrination Chamber.) Espectro's first action, Piston Punch, lets Espectro take a while to charge up his fists, and do massive damage (Around 105) to Agents on his first hit. His second action, Clone, lets Espectro summon an exact clone of himself, with lesser stats, this Clone is very strong because, like Espectro, the clone can still use the piston punch to do damage to Agents.

-Full Metal Jackie. Jackie is an amazing long range, and crowd control Henchmen, as long as being able to support your muscle minions, even though she is hard to get. Jackie's first action is Fire Sale, which gives Jackie a chance to set enemies on fire, even though it can do damage to your lair. Her second action, Hand Guns, gives muscle minions close to her, well, handguns!

-Pyro. Pyro is a great medium range henchmen, that excels in crowd control and useful while playing as Red Ivan. Pyro is able to be easily recruited as soon as you finish the tutorial, and has very easy side story objctives. Pyro's first action, Armageddon is very useful for crowd controling Agents but does EXTREME friendly fire, so you will most likely want to use this action outside of your casino or in a less croweded part of your lair. His second Action, Compressed Air, is extremely useful for saving your lair from sabotures, and for extinguishing fires after Ivan's H.A.V.O.C strike. As an added bonus, Pyro can also make Agents burn harder if they are on fire. Over All, Pyro is a very good Henchmen but, like Incendio causes massive friendly fire in your lair, so i would set out a room in your lair so Pyro can fight Agents. If you are playing as Red Ivan, i would rank Pyro in A Tier, but if you are playing as another genius he is in B Tier, but Ultimatly, it is up to you.

-Doomhilda. Doomhilda is a hard hitting, morale boosting henchmen that helps minions regain morale and stun Agents. Doomhilda can be recruited easily after the tutorial, and with socialite minions, but has some hard side story objectives. Doomhilda's first action, Ride of the Valkeries, can boost minions morale and help them in combat situations. This action is useful for fighting battles and interrogating Agents/Crime Lord's with high resolve. Her second action, Shattering voice, is a great AOE stun that can stun any Agents (Not Tested) and minions in the area, this is useful for combat situations, and especially for dealing with deserting minions in your lair.

Excellent

-Fugu Furkukuwaka. Fugu is a deception Hencmen, excelling in poisoning Agents at close and long ranges. Fugu's first action, Food Poisoning lets her give a poison dish to an Agent, that can kill most low level Agents and give you Minions an chance to attack higher level Agents while they are reeling. Her second action, Blow Fish explosion, lets her throw a Blow Fish at an Agent, which deals damage much like Dr. Ming's action, but can only harm Agents. Fugu has a hidden perk that lets her make schemes on the world stage that can decrease heat for free and give you $120000 for very few low-level Minions.


-Sir Daniel. Sir Daniel is a long ranged hunter, able to kill most Agents in one shot, and easily decimate super Agents. His first action,Camouflage lets him hide from Agents and do massive damage if he gets a jump on his prey. His second action, Trap, lets Sir Daniel place down a trap anywhere in your lair, that can trap Agents in place for your guards to attack.


-I.R.I.S. IRIS is an Incredible Henchmen, that does massive damage at range and, is the only reliable tank in the game. Her first action, reroute power, makes her temporarily INVINCIBLE to enemy attacks while rapidly healing vitality. Her second action, Security Network Link, lets IRIS act as a security camera with massive range, and that can summon guards. (Note, IRIS can be recruited as your first henchmen, with the side story, you computer, but you can recruit her after this by completing the Roboticist side story.)



-Eli Barracuda Jr. Eli is an amazing Henchmen, with high melee damage and strong abilities. His first action, Silver Revolver which lets him pull out his famous Silver Revolver to kill Agents, and if he is in a good position he can easily kill Atomic Olga, and lower level Agents. His second action, Silver Tongue, Lets him use his charisma to deal resolve damage to Agents and regenerate his stats. and it costs NOTHING!

Super

-Jubei. Jubei is an amazing high-damage melee henchmen, with strong abilities. His first action, flow, lets Jebei turn blue and start doing even more damage every hit he does, and moving faster. His second action, Windwalk, lets Jubei teleport to ANYWHERE in your lair, allowing you to easily employ hit and run tactics to destroy your opponents.

-Blue Saint. To my knowledge, Blue Saint can not be obtained as a henchmen in the game, but I'm putting him at the top of the pile because Blue Saint is SO good at his job that we cant even find him.

Doomhilda and Pyro have been added!

[Panpan2019]

Just start a new game with the DLC or click the "Enable DLC" Option while selecting a save file.

[[MMM] Cat_King100]

how unlock pyro

[Panpan2019]

Macex, happyscrub, and Fgyijt, i will take your feedback into consideration. Also, rating Doomhilda Soon, i need to unlock her.

[Fgyjt]

I think Iris should be higher, by the fact that she is an almost top tier henchwoman you can get at the very begining of the game.

[happyscrub]

Iris does NOT turn invincible to damage. She just heals and probably gain some armor. She can die easy getting focus fired with no back up while healing

[MaceX]

I am going to kind of disagree with the reasoning why Schemes make Fugu is better. The first time I got her, I executed her to to open a spot to try other henchmen to try. Even though I recruited her then killed her, the schemes kept occurring.

[Panpan2019]

Also, Working on a new section. :)

[Panpan2019]

Thank you for the feedback, i will take this into consideration.
