Overview
Tier list
Introduction
This is a Tier list for the Explorers in terms of score. The Explorers are rated in how high they can score and not on their combat potential any other factors. All scores are taken from adventure mode, Classic Difficulty as this is the intended difficulty for the game.
S Tier
To enter S tier you have to be able to score consistently high in the Renown area. As a result of this there are 5 people that can meet this parameter – They are Anna, Kwame, Charles, Hildegard, Yvonne.
Anna: Well Anna should not come to a shock for anyone that knows anything knows she has a broken passive and with the right usage of the other teammates can do some really broken thing.
Kwame: His ability to make more helpers then you can possible ever have and with these buffs to your token through an entire game you are able rack up a shocking score.
Charles: Charles is different version of Anna, makes lots of status, buy lots of specialists get lots of campaign proceed to high score phase.
Hildegard: What makes Hildegard good is you can get alot of campaign tokens very quickly and now they provide research and with that you power spike early into the through the tech tree and give yourself a solid foundation for a game.
Yvonne: The thing you will note in this list is that speech is powerful when you get the right plan and right team, campaign tokens give alot of flexibility in what the can improve. Yvonne just hastens and benefits from that.
A tier
A tier can be defined as a getting a respectable score without breaking the game too much, but are nowhere near the level of the S tiers. As a result only 2 make the cut: Agatha and Maria.
Agatha: Stacking insight and going in a massive spending spree will give you a huge amount of points for little to no effort.
Maria: Maria’s ability is pretty generic, giving you status when you stack encounters tokens can lead to some explosive results. Personally I have seen Maria gain enough into S tier but due to her inconsistency of scoring those amount of points she is not in the S tier, besides Agatha needs some company.
B Tier
B Tier are the very defination of mediocre they are not bad but they are not good – they score averagely. They are Emilia and Dolores.
Emilia: Emilia is ok, the tool is underwhelming later on in the game and only useful once per expedition. The second part of the perk is just equally underwhelming but togiether it’s ok.
Dolores: Dolores is good, she can be S tier good but she requires an entire game to set up. Also requires alot of conditions to come into place to get her to that level and thus is inconstistent, but still good.
C tier
C tier are not fantasticm their is no other way of saying it. These people are Earl, Pedrinho, Ivan.
Earl: Earl’s perk gives you money for doing something you should be doing anyway and considering the value of money to renown is pittiful and thus earl is cut off.
Pedrinho: His perk is a Ok, but the reward is justa bonus for soemthing you should be doing anyway playing him.
Ivan: Oh Ivan that – 1 resolve hurts on the starter island and the reward you get is not worht it. The starter islands put you behind and then it’s an up hill struggle since then.
D Tier
This is the lowest tier, as such the they are inconsistent. I am not saying a high score is impossible with these people just that they some game mechanics or chellenges to accomplish them. As a result they are; Molly, Hatice, Philip, Harry, Bia, Victor.
Molly: I like molly she is alot of fun to play, her perk is unique and fun. Her abilty to score however is problermatic. Her constant generation of gold output does not yeild a decent amount of renown, this is due to the low gold to renown ratio.
Hatice: Hatice’s perk is bad, like borderline useless compared to other perks. I have nothing else to say on this matter.
Phillipe: His passive sounds good. Only if you don’t die. Then compared to some other passives it pales in terms of generation.
Bia: She’s just a fighter. She is not meant to score or if she can, I have not figured it out.
Victor: Generation of gold is pointless in score all of the gold generation is hard to score high for.
