Are you looking for a Killer Instinct tier list? Let’s rank all characters and showcase the best ones overall.
The best character in Killer Insinct is Rash, with Fulgore and Eyedol coming close second.
Let’s go through all the charactetrs and showcase what makes the best ones come out on top.
Killer Instinct S Tier Characters (Best in the Game)
Starting with S Tier characters, these the best in the game as they have amazing movesets and combos as well as fast and strong attacks that help them shine in competitive play.
- Rash
- Fulgore
- Eyedol
Let’s explain in detail what makes these three characters stand out.
Rash
Rash is the best character in Killer Instinct since he has no losing matchups, his kit has everything you’ll need: great damage, amazing combos, consistent pressure, and a counter to projectiles.
You can’t go wrong with Rash, and he’s considered better than any other character.
Fulgore
Overall, Fulgore has been consistently one of the best characters in Killer Instinct and that’s not changing anytime soon.
His kit offers him answers to almost anything in the game. Overall, he has amazing mobility, a great back-dash and blade-dash, and strong zoning moves.
Eyedol
Eyedol manages to stand out as one of the top-three characters due to his amazing pressure and damage, great zoning potential, and one of the best instincts in the game.
He is one of the most controversial characters, especially when having to decide between him and Glacius/Tusk, but Eyedol feels slightly stronger overall.
Killer Instinct A Tier Characters
A Tier characters are almost as strong as S Tier ones but fall off slightly in total damage. They are great and worth using but not overpowered.
- Glacius
- Tusk
- Sabrewulf
- ARIA
- Omen
- Aganos
- Hisako
- Thunder
- TJ Combo
- Riptor
Killer Instinct B Tier Characters
B Tier options are more situational and can still shine in the right hands. They are usually harder to use but can deal solid damage once mastered.
- Shadow Jago
- Kilgore
- Arbiter
- Orchid
- Spinal
- Maya
Killer Instinct C Tier Characters
C Tier characters fall off slightly in terms of versatility as their combos are more limited. However, they can be useful in the right scenarios and help you come out on top.
- Shin Hisako
- Kan-Ra
- Kim Wu
- Mira
- General RAAM
Killer Instinct D Tier Characters
Lastly, D Tier characters are extremely situational. Thankfully, all characters in Killer Instinct are worth playing, so I recommend trying out even D Tier ones. However, you will have a harder time with combos, especially when comparing them to S and A tier alternatives.
- Eagle
- Jago
- Cinder
- Sadira
- Gargos
Wrapping up
To wrap up this Killer Instinct tier list, the best characters in the game are Rash first, and Fulgore and Eyedol afterward.
However, this shouldn’t limit you from using your favorite characters. Every character is playable and worth using in competitive play, so I recommend trying everyone before settling on your main.
