Overview
(NOTE: I do not OWN this information, Aichomancer does. As well as the CC Wiki. I decided to copy it as a steam guide for an easier route to it!) also aicho’s (outdated) steam guide http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=192752532 Not all characters are programmed equally. The characters’ differences are so significant it can make the difference between destroying bosses’ health on insane mode in seconds with S rank characters, or getting stuck on the last few bosses on normal mode with E rank characters. Keep in mind that this list does NOT take Arena Mode into account.If you notice, all the characters with the best magic end up on top. That’s because they only differ by magic, and nothing else (with the only exception of Green Knight).Notice that the top-tier characters are mostly boss slayers and/or have good crowd control, or have unique and special magic move-sets that enable them to do unique things other characters can’tdo (Take Saracen and Bear’s tornado juggle for example).The E and some of the D rank characters’ magic is rather poor, which means that if you want to use them effectively then you’ll be stuck with juggling and arrow spamming, which is are things all the other characters can do, and it’s no fun if your character isn’t even unique.Advantages and disadvantages are ranked by relevancy on a scale from 1-5. 5 is the most relevant and 1 is the least relevant. The points will be added up (advantages will be positive, disadvantages will be negative), and the characters with higher scores will be ranked higher. If an aspect of a character is equally an advantage and a disadvantage, it will not be listed. This is the scale used:1 – Almost no relevancy2 – Low relevancy3 – Moderately relevant4 – High relevancy5 – Very relevant6 – Game changing7 – Game breakingX – This is a value that is determined by the individual. Since in the right hands, this dis/advantage won’t make an impact on gameplay, it’s not counted for or against the character. It’s up to the player to decide what they think it’s worth, and from that they can subtract whatever value they insert for it onto the character’s score. As such, all character’s scores will show their default, minimum, and maximum possible scores.
