Dungeon Stalkers just launched, and after a full week of testing every single character—locked and unlocked—it’s time for a complete breakdown. This tier list covers rankings, rune setups, build tips, and PvE/PvP performance to help identify the strongest picks right now.

Top Picks in the Dungeon Stalkers Tier List

The S⁺ tier features the most powerful and versatile characters, excelling in nearly every situation.

  • Glad (S⁺ Tier)
    Glad dominates as a hybrid healer and debuffer. His shields, mana stone, and team-wide sustain make him a must-pick for ranked and coordinated play.

  • Baran (S⁺ Tier)
    Baran’s grappling hook, AoE stun, and huge burst potential make him the core of aggressive comps. Paired with Glad, he becomes nearly unstoppable in PvP.

  • Nave (S Tier)
    Nave stands out as one of the highest-damage ranged mages, capable of deleting enemies with fireballs and incredible AoE control. Her alt remains one of the strongest tools for PvE and PvP.

  • Shinobu (S Tier)
    A locked melee assassin with shuriken-based range tools and evasive play. Her alt grants projectile deflection and melee block, making her deadly against rush comps.

Dungeon Stalkers Tier List: Mid-Tier Contenders

These characters have competitive builds but require specific strategies or team setups.

  • Lián (A Tier)
    Best known for her burst archer playstyle, Lián shines in PvP but relies heavily on mana management. She performs best when paired with tanks and healers for protection.

  • Urud (A Tier)
    Urud specializes in sustained DOT pressure and trap-based control. In skilled hands, his utility and zoning make him as valuable as Lián in both PvE and PvP.

  • Rene (B Tier)
    An excellent defensive stalker, Rene controls space effectively and benefits from life-steal via her alt. Better suited for casual PvE play than competitive ranked matches.

Lower-Tier Dungeon Stalkers Picks

While viable in niche roles, these characters generally require more support or carry less impact.

  • Rio (C Tier)
    Rio’s stealth and combo potential give her tactical value, but her raw DPS struggles compared to other rogues. Best used for recon and flanking rather than direct fights.

  • Hilda (D Tier)
    Hilda’s tanking potential is limited by slow mobility and low damage. While her shield and counter abilities can work situationally, she’s currently underpowered in most comps.

Best Rune & Build Tips

  • Nave → Focus on skill casting speed and mana damage; prioritize conversion over vitality for consistent uptime.

  • Glad → Balance healing efficiency with shield generation for maximum team utility.

  • Lián → Stock extra mana pots; her burst DPS depends on resource management.

  • Shinobu → Master her Q/E ability chain for seamless mobility and higher DPS.

  • Urud → Trap precision wins fights; combine DOT pressure with AoE zoning for optimal control.
