Labyrinth of Chaos/Tier List

Disclaimer
-'''This tier list is unofficial and entirely based on the opinion of the community playing LoC. It will try to be as objective as possible. This Tier List was made on version 2.35.'''

Discussion surrounding tiers, rankings and/or game balance should be kept on this page or on the Companion Viability Rankings page.

-The goal of this tier list is to serve as a guide for anyone wanting to know more about the actual state of Paradox's balance in order to tackle its endgame, the Labyrinth of Chaos.

If you came here looking to know who is viable or not for non-LoC content: everyone is viable. You can finish part 2 with a full Battle Fucker team if you want to. Same thing if you want to reach floor 100.

Not everyone can however reach floor 100 without LoC gears, and very little characters have the potential to bring you to the point where monsters and super bosses stop scaling (Check the Labyrinth of Chaos page for more details on how scaling works).

This tier list will however allow you to understand who can and who can't. If you are struggling with the main game, feel free to take a look at the Useful Battle Strategies and the Companion Power Rankings pages.

-This tier list will mostly talk about Races. That's because Racial skills in Paradox is the biggest limitation a character have. Traits matter but compared to races, they are just the cherry on top. The tier list will also not mention LoC gears. Certain characters can become better with certain LoC gears that allow them access to builds that circumvent their weaknesses or boost their strengths even further. Unfortunately, a higher tier character will tend to always be far better with said gears than a weaker one. Also some effects are very rare and you can very well spend countless hours in LoC without running into them.

-This tier list only concerns version 2.35 and might change drastically depending on changes made to the gameplay by TTR. It can also change if new strategies that impact the META are found. As the playerbase is quite small, it is very likely that certain underappreciated strategies turns out to be far better than they initially appeared. Feel free to spark discussion and explore whatever isn't mentionned here.

-Ultimately, don't feel obligated to ditch a character just because it's rated as weak in this tierlist. Play who you want to play. It's a game. Your goal should be to have as much fun as possible.
