Vampire Survivors is the go-to indie roguelite game for many players worldwide due to its viral popularity, which has gradually grown into a cult following. If you want to know which characters are most broken in the game, check out my picks for the Vampire Survivors Character Tier List below.
Best Vampire Survivors Characters (March 2024)
It’s a very tough competition, given that there are 68 characters at this moment, but some names definitely come out on the top and perform better than others. The Tier List I have made has a wide range of Tiers, which I will gladly explain below. If you want, you can check out our Vampire Survivors weapon tier list, too.
March 2024 Update: Patch 1.9 is out, with two new characters.
Vampire Survivors Character Tier List Explanation
- S+ Tier: Best of the Best, no explanation needed, right? They’re mostly busted.
- S Tier: Great characters, really! But S+ Tier overshadows them by a visible margin.
- A Tier: Decent characters with interesting abilities, great to have some fun.
- B Tier: These are average characters that you can use at the start, but you will ditch them as soon as you unlock everything that requires you to play as them.
- C Tier: Below Average characters. You do not want to stick around after you unlock everything that requires you to play as them.
- F Tier: Trash or unstable characters that are difficult to play (albeit sometimes being able to reward you well). Some streamers love to make content that involves making these characters look good.
- R Tier: A random Tier that depends on the random factor assigned to the character. Their abilities and capabilities change every time you start the game, so it’s between “completely unusable” and “the most immortal God of all immortal Gods that ever walked this plane”.
By the way: Vampire Survivors became so popular that it seems we’re getting a Vampire Survivors TV show soon!

Some key notes:
- The characters are sorted alphabetically within Tiers, except for the S+ tier, where Queen is a Queen for a reason, and Red Death is stronger than Big Trouser.
- Sammy is up there because he’s a beyond-insane machine for gold farming, that’s all.
- Guardian Pina is a great character for co-op, but in single-player, its abilities don’t work. Crewmate Dino suffers the same fate.
