There are a good amount of Kagunes to choose from in GHOUL://RE. All of these offer a different kind of playstyle and upgrade path that cater to each player’s preference. Understanding which ones are the strongest and most reliable for their niche can save you some time and resources (especially if you plan to reroll). In this tier list, you will discover the best Kagune for your buck in GHOUL://RE!
Best Kagune Tier List
This tier list is a general overview to help you visualize the current Kagune meta in GHOUL://RE. Just like our best Quinque tier list, this article was created with attention to each Kagune’s capability in different scenarios such as PvP and PvE. Among the following, the four top-most choices (Ken, Eto, Mayu, and Takizawa) are considered the strongest options as of this moment. These Kagune will get you through most of the content the game has to offer and I would consider myself lucky if I were to get these on the first try. If you have any questions about learning how to awaken your Kagune, our complete beginner’s guide to GHOUL://RE covers that excellently.
S Tier
As previously mentioned, Kagunes in this section are the best of the best as of the current state of the game. These are excellent choices for both PvP and PvE scenarios. Because of that, these weapons are also difficult to obtain. These Kagunes fall under the Legendary rarity, meaning you only have a 3% roll chance to get these!
Ken
Based on the main protagonist, Ken Kaneki, this Kagune is a great choice in terms of DPS capabilities. It also has a good V2 and has one of the best stun abilities to date. Easy-to-use and just a good all-around option for any Ghoul right now.
Eto
This Kagune is a fast and mobile damage dealer while having fantastic combo potential, all at the same time. It has a frenzy state that can help you turn the tide of certain fights by overwhelming the enemy with a barrage of damage.
Mayu
Mayu is best used for close-range encounters. It deals a ton of damage by trapping and slowing enemies down—keeping them in their place while attacking in rapid succession.
Takizawa
Takizawa is a melee-focused Kagune that has great short AoE damage. This can help you get out of a tight pinch as well as keep you safe for a short time due to having invulnerability on some moves. Similar to Ken, it is very simple to use and has a great V2 as well.
A Tier
Kagunes within this tier have qualities that might have some difficulty catching up with their S-tier counterparts. Although, if you happen to roll one of these, you can not go wrong with either of them. They still make a great choice for PvP and PvE scenarios regardless.
Yomo
Yomo is a single-target Kagune that is capable of pumping out big damage numbers like those in the S-tier. The only downside to this Kagune is also its single-target focus. On the bright side, It has great mobility on all of its skills and easy combos.
Noro
Noro is a Kagune that needs some level of skill to pull off consistently. But when given to the right player, it is very good during 1v1 fights. The main goal when using Noro is to put the enemy down and then deal a lot of damage after doing so. Sadly, its V2 is much better to use so I would opt to go for that instead.
Tsukiyama
Tsukiyama has easy-landing combos that deal decent damage for its rarity. While it is a good option, all other Legendary rarity Kagunes outdamage it by a mile.
B Tier
This tier discusses Kagunes which give a lot of value during the early stages of your character’s development. These Kagunes later on lose their viability when better options are presented. The following are still decent choices and have good V2 options as well.
Yamori
This Kagune is more on the slower end in terms of attack speed. What’s great about it is its minimal AoE capabilities and subpar range. When you have Yamori, you’re losing out on mobility. If you’re not careful, you may end up a sitting duck in the eyes of your opponents.
Wing
Among the common rarities, Wing is actually a pretty decent Kagune choice in terms of damage and movement options. It has a V2 but I would recommend just using the V1 more in all honesty.
Nishio
One of the more basic Kagunes but has a great V2 option that you could choose later down the line. It ticks all the boxes in terms of range, mobility, and damage (if we consider its rarity).
C Tier
Last on our list is the least optimal choice of Kagune in the current version of the game. You are better off rerolling for something else outside of this tier.
Beaked
If you enjoy playing with long-bladed weapons while slashing away at enemies, then I think this is the Kagune for you. Unlike the others, it has somewhat good mobility and AoE attacks. Other than that, Beaked has fairly poor damage. I would suggest choosing a different option.
I mentioned the V2 Kagune a lot during this article. If you don’t know what that is or you’re just curious to learn more, we have a guide on learning how to unlock V2 Kagune that you might enjoy!
I hope this tier list was able to help you decide which is the best Kagune in GHOUL://RE right now. While this list was made based on gathered facts and other player’s opinions, at the end of the day, this is all just another person’s opinion.
