We share our top picks! <\/p><p class=\"rssauthor\">By Ben Huxley\n                \t\t<\/p><p class=\"rssbyline\">Published: Monday, 30 January 2023 at 12:00 am<\/p><hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/><?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body> <p>It\u2019s been over a year since the release of Vampire Survivors, and the game has gone from strength to strength. The roguelike horror has proven to be both fun, addictive, and a big hit with gamers across platforms.<\/p>\n<p>But who are the best characters? When you first set out, the only option is the whip-wielding Belmont-esque character Antonio. But the more you play, the more choice you get \u2013 and eventually you\u2019ll have a whopping 41 characters to choose from!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve picked our favourites below!<\/p> <p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Vampire Survivors tier list: Best characters ranked<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before we get on with the list, we\u2019re obliged to explain how our tier system works. Tier 1 \u2013 best. Tier 3 \u2013 worst. Simple, right? Now let\u2019s get on with it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tier 1 characters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul><li>Imelda Belpaese<\/li>\n<li>Poe Ratcho<\/li>\n<li>Red Death<\/li>\n<li>Pugnala Provola<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These characters are, in our view, the ones to go for. We understand that Poe is a controversial choice (having less health than pretty much anyone), but The Garlic \u2013 his starting weapon \u2013 is a defence that can\u2019t be ignored. As for Red Death and Pugnala \u2013 nobody can disagree with us there. And how badass is Imelda? Cheapest character, and easiest to use.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tier 2 characters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul><li>Dommario<\/li>\n<li>Bianca Ramba<\/li>\n<li>Antonio<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We put Antonio here because as well as being the game\u2019s de facto protagonist, he\u2019s actually not that bad. And while Dommario might be the slowest character in the game, his King Bible \u2013 once upgraded \u2013 is an excellent attack\u00a0<em>and<\/em> defence weapon. The ghostly character of Bianca is quite under-appreciated, too, with her wheel-like Carr\u00e9llo.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tier 3 characters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul><li>Iguana Gallo Valletto<\/li>\n<li>Divano Thelma<\/li>\n<li>Toastie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While these characters are technically the \u201cworst\u201d when it comes to ease of play, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not worth giving them a go. After all, what\u2019s the point of a game without a challenge?<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoy surviving vampires!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hungry for more gaming?
