If you’re diving into Forsaken on Roblox and want to know which characters are worth your time, look no further. Ranking every survivor and killer can be tricky, but I’ve done my best to break it all down for you in this detailed tier list. Whether you’re just starting or you’re already a seasoned player, this guide will give you the lowdown on who’s top-tier and who’s, well, not so much. With the 1.2.1.1 update, things are always shifting, but here’s my personal take on the characters that can make or break your game—so let’s jump in!
Best Character Tier List (Survivors & Killers) in 1.2.1.1 Update
I’ll be real with you, it’s pretty hard to rank all the characters in Forsaken. Players come in all skill levels, and a character’s true potential often depends on the player behind the screen. Some survivors and killers shine with deep game sense and map knowledge, while others are more about solid mechanics and timing. So, I’m going to break it down as best I can—based on my experiences, both playing as these characters and facing off against them.
Keep in mind, this list will probably become outdated once the next big update hits, especially with Noob and two new survivors joining the ranks. Character tweaks could shake things up, but for now, here’s my take on who’s top tier and who’s not!
S-Tier
C00lkidd
Cool Kid is, without a doubt, the best killer in the game. Speed, versatility, and raw damage output all come together in a character who can dominate both close and long-range combat. His movement is unmatched, and his abilities are a nightmare for survivors.
The minions? Absolute game-changers. They’re fast, silent, and can block survivors from escaping or make them an easy target. Corrupt Nature can be tricky to aim, but when you chain it with other abilities, it leads to massive damage. His Walk Speed Override is punishing and easy to land with some practice. If you’re playing Cool Kid right, you’re an unstoppable force. Hands down, S-tier.
Shedletsky
This guy’s a solid all-rounder. His chicken ability can heal nearly half of your health if used correctly, and his stun is one of the most reliable in the game. The key is timing it right, especially when the killer is stationary or about to enter your range. With team coordination, you can block killer chases and heal up in the process. Shedletsky has everything you need to be a valuable asset to your team. If you play him right, you’re looking at a solid S-tier survivor.
A-Tier
Elliot
Elliot is a tough survivor to deal with, especially when you have a coordinated team backing them up. Skilled players know how to play passively—completing generators and healing up before swooping in to save low-health teammates. Rush Hour gives Elliot a nice speed advantage, but it’s not enough to outrun a determined killer. Still, when you’re up against a team of skilled Elliots, they can be a real pain to catch. A solid A-tier survivor.
John Doe
At first, I wasn’t too sure about John Doe. But after spending more time with him, I’ve realized just how powerful his kit is. His traps are great for cutting off escape routes or guaranteeing kills, and Corrupt Energy helps zone survivors effectively. While his Unstoppable passive did get nerfed, it’s still a solid tool for keeping the pressure on during chases. If you can master his traps, John Doe becomes a ruthless killer. Definitely A-tier.
Guest 1337
Guest 1337 is, in my opinion, one of the survivors with the highest skill ceiling. His ability to block killer chases makes him an absolute nightmare if used properly. He forces the killer to either target him or mess with their strategy, which can create opportunities for your team. The catch? If you miss a block, you’re left vulnerable, and it can be a tough recovery. After the nerf to block against projectiles, he’s a bit more balanced, but still a force to be reckoned with in A-tier.
B-Tier
Noob
Noob may be the first survivor you unlock, but don’t underestimate their potential. With the right skills, Noob can be a pain for killers, especially during Last Man Standing. The two speed boosts and short drinking times are a huge advantage if you can keep your distance and dodge the killer’s attacks. That said, their skin ability is situational and not super flashy. The Ghost Burger is more useful in Last Man Standing than anywhere else. While Noob’s abilities are useful, they can be risky if caught off guard. For now, I’d put Noob in B-tier.
Builderman
Builderman’s got a good toolkit for support. The turret can slow killers down and mess with their ability to chase, which is awesome for buying time in the heat of the moment. Plus, setting up healing spots adds a nice layer of protection. The catch? Without the turret, Builderman is a bit vulnerable and can be easily overwhelmed if the killer focuses on them. Still, a solid B-tier support character.
Jason
Jason’s a killer with strong damage output and passive abilities that make him deadly at close range. He can sneak up on survivors, but unfortunately, he struggles at long range. His movement is predictable, and he’s not the fastest killer out there, making it tough to keep up with nimble survivors. He’s got the potential to dish out damage, but compared to other killers with more mobility, Jason can feel lacking. A solid B-tier killer.
C-Tier
007n7
007n7 has a recent rework that makes their clones more effective, but the character is still tricky to play. If you’re not using the clones strategically, you’re leaving yourself wide open for a kill. The GUI can be a game-changer if used well, but it’s easily interrupted, and the loud sound it makes can give you away. Clones are still pretty easy to spot, and the lack of escape options makes it tough to survive a chase. It’s a tough character to master, but with the right skill, 007n7 can shine in Last Man Standing. For now, I’m placing them in C-tier.
Chance
Chance is a bit of a gamble—literally. His whole kit revolves around luck, and while I’ve hit level 100 with him, I’m not convinced he’s the strongest survivor. The long-range stun is decent for stationary killers, but it’s tricky to land on moving targets. His inconsistency is his biggest issue. If you miss your stun or get hit by a weakness debuff, you’re in trouble. The extra health doesn’t do much to offset the debuff, leaving Chance a bit lackluster compared to other survivors. C-tier for Chance.
1X
I struggled with 1X, and I’m not alone. This killer is slow, with loud footsteps that make it hard to sneak up on survivors. His abilities, like Entanglement, are cool in theory, but they’re hard to land and pretty unreliable. Skilled survivors will often hear you coming from a mile away or dodge your abilities with ease. Even after the nerf to Reon damage, 1X still struggles to keep up. He’s not completely useless, but I’m putting him in C-tier for now.
D-Tier
TwoTime
Unfortunately, TwoTime doesn’t have much going for them. With no abilities and limited options, you’re mostly running for your life. The second life sounds good, but it doesn’t stop the killer from catching up. When you’re left with a significant debuff after respawning, you’re at a severe disadvantage. TwoTime just doesn’t bring enough to the table. D-tier, worst character in Forsaken.
