Tiggarius Lancer Tier List — December 2017

The good think about this game is that except from Pup and Orion, most of the champs seem very balanced.

If you noticed you can split each role in 2:

Firepower you have ranged and melee firepower

Support you have heal focused supports and shield+damage supports (Helio, Khita etc) and then… Su-Ren… the most complex but satisfing support to play if you do it good. Good damage, good healing , good buffs/debuffs and one of my favourites ultis in this game, which is a 1-UP for that turn most of the times and a good damage next turn if not a second wind for the ally.

Frontline you have heavy mitigation/heal tank and on the other side (and when Garrison shines over everybody , in the lack of some tankiness) you have a heavy aggro menace with solid damage. I mean, if you think about it, it’s kinda similar to melee frontliners but with higher health and a bit lower damage, BUT he has defensive options (maybe not as brighter as Asana does for example) such as the 25 shield for turns (which normally unless they predict your jump, they are reserved for the next turn). But you have to take in count everything on his kit, I mean, his missiles deal a lot of damage in area, and have a great range (unless you are invis). His constant CC with the slow, and a solid basic attack that covers a nice area makes him probably along with rask the biggest frontline damage in humble opinion. And of course his ulti can heal up anybody if they survive that turn (or if you put the correct mod) I know Titus (my favourite Frontline) has a loooot of sustain with heals on 2 abilities , but, he has so little damage that appart of its ulti normally isn’t a threat as menacing as Garrison, so yeah, comparing them, you might lose a bit of sustain, but you trully gain so much global pressence and so much threat to the enemy that it’s insane.

About Blackburn well, I prefer other lancers such as Nev , Lockwood or Zuki, but that revealing grenade that can go through walls it’s a pretty defensive poking skill. I am only rank 4-3 but most of the Juno’s ulties are quite predictable and have limited reach, while BB ulti it’s a big threat (specially if you have the 3 squares ulti or the 2nd round next turn). And grem well… it’s true that his mines around the map are a constant threat but I simply think that he can’t match BB, Zuki or Lw firepower.

About Magnus it’s again what I said above, and thanks to the buff of a mod, he has more damage now. His missiles are a very good skill since it’s like nev’s prep- catarang: or you eat it or it forces you to dash. The only thing I don’t like it’s his basic attack, but it’s true that with the correct mods now, it’s suprisingly strong. The big deal as I said, it’s triceracop’s ulti. Taunting the enemy to aurora’s floor, or zuki’s big one, helio’s wall, etc… It’s a situational support tank that as you said , I hope he gets a mod for the predictable dash, or a bigger shield. Now I think he is just Weak or Mediocre in solo ranked.

Which by the way , leads me to a brief question. This tier is for Solo Q right? I mean, I play for example The Alchemist Code, and while some heroes shine in PvE others excell in PvP. Then I have the same impresion about this game. For example, Triceracop is bad in solo Q as well as Tol Ren is or Khita (I play as my main support and it requieres BIG comunication of what are you gonna do this turn and the following with your shield and heal), or even Su-Ren could even drop to mediocre low on Solo Q.

BUT, those excell in a team comp with full awareness and comunication due to the combo options they have (I mean, triceracop and Zuki big one, Khita using it’s mark when it’s a 100% hit for all team, etc…).

So what do you think about team comp Tiers?
