Frequently Asked Questions
Who belongs in S tier?
S tier is for the most iconic, influential, or beloved video game characters — usually those who defined a genre or generation. Kratos, Link, and Master Chief are common picks, but ranking is subjective.
Can I add indie game characters?
Yes. Use the text input to add any character — Hollow Knight, Hades, Stardew Valley, anyone. They will appear in the library ready to drag.
Can I rank by gameplay vs by story?
Yes. Rename the tiers to fit your criteria — for example 'Best Story / Best Gameplay / Best Design' — using the tier label settings.
Where can I share my tier list?
Export a PNG with the Download button and post it to r/gaming, r/patientgamers, Discord servers, or your YouTube community tab.
Which video game characters are S-tier?
There is no single S-tier roster — most gaming characters tier list rankings put Kratos, Link, Master Chief, and Mario near the top, but the best video game character tier list reflects the games you have actually played and loved.
