Alter Ego Tier List and Guide – Best Killer & Survivor

The best Survivor and Ego/Killer in Alter Ego depend on factors such as team-play versus solo/carrying for survivors and mobility versus damage for Egos. I’ll be taking both factors into account for two-tier lists with ranking explanations as you’ll see below. Here’s my Alter Ego Tier List and guide for each Killer and Survivor.

Alter Ego Killer And Survivor Tier List

I’ll be ranking the best Survivors in Alter Ego according to both team play and solo carry potential (discussed below). As for Egos, I’ll be directly comparing them to each other for each ability. Note that Stun-stacking is currently a thing so Fjord and Noob are a bit stronger than the rest until they patch it. Let’s take a look at all Survivors and Egos individually.

S-Tier Egos & Survivors

S-Tier Ego/Survivor	Why S-Tier + Guide
Caducus Ego	• Overall Caducus has been more reliable than Husk for the following reasons • Swipe is far superior to the Slam because you get more mobility forward and it’s a wider swing able to hit multiple Survivors • Caducus’ movement Spectral Dash doesn’t deal damage but is much faster and less awkward to use and gives you stealth so you can have an unpredictable approach • Foul Breath is so much utility because it’s a ranged projectile to snipe low health enemies or open on a generator to slow them while they’re doing puzzles • Dark Descent has massive range, you get tons of map visibility, you cannot get hit/stunned during it like with Husk ult due to flight and it can even down multiple Survivors on the way down
Commander Survivor	• Overall in a high-skilled team-based setting Commander is arguably the best Survivor • This is because you can reliably locate generators for your team with Survey and then speed them up with Strength in Numbers to escape when the killer shows up • Strength in Numbers is the best skill in the game for when you finish generators and you have to get to the escape doors • Your Leadership passive allows you to locate teammates near a killer and then go to them to speed them up • Also, Survey allows you and your team to spot the killer before they arrive to the generation your team is doing • Overall there’s so much team utility here but you don’t have solo power so keep that in mind when playing in a bad team
Noob Survivor	• Noob is a great mix of team utility and solo power • Your Stun Slingshot can hit from ranged allowing you to both save yourself and an ally from ranged (Plus it’s harder for killers to dodge than Fjord’s Slash if you aim it well) • Bloxy Cola allows you to reposition if you get spotted on a generator or regen Stamina if you’re getting chased or trying to reach/save a teammate • The passive isn’t that strong but the base kit is really good for both team-play and carrying solo

A-Tier Egos & Survivors

A-Tier Ego/Survivor	Why A-Tier + Guide
Fjord Survivor	• Fjord is built as a team support and he can be really strong when he works right but there are some issues which is why he’s in A-Tier • Slash’s 5-second stun is extremely powerful, especially when you stack it with other stuns but it’s hard to hit since it can be easily dodged by the killer due to the slow telegraph (Make sure to bait killers into corners and start the animation around the corner so that the killer doesn’t see it and you get a surprise hit) • Warrior’s Call reduces damage on allies but slows you which works like a taunt making the killer focus you (Combine with Commander’s Strength in Numbers to help your team escape) • That said Warrior’s Call can make you an easy target and when the killer is done with you your team buff will expire as it focuses on your allies • Your best bet is to save teammates with Warrior’s Call then when the killer charges you try to hit a Slash and then retreat
Husk Ego	• Husk’s moves are a bit more awkward and slow to land which is why I put him lower than Caducus but if you get used to their timing Husk actually deals more damage • Forward Leap is excellent to do on a crowd doing generators for a nice AOE damage opener (Note that there’s a slow up-start so plan your trajectory a bit and don’t spam it) • Ancient Punishment gives you a bit of mobility and deals more damage than Caducus’ damage skill while stunning but it can be tricky to land (Luckily it has a wide hitbox currently in Alpha) • Your Ultimate Crushing Slam is weaker than Caducus’ flight however it does still execute and you get some mobility while automatically winning against Fjords who try to Slash you (The main problems are that you can get stunned more easily than Caducus and you don’t bypass terrain so Survivors can vault to defend)

B-Tier Egos & Survivors

B-Tier Ego/Survivor

Why B-Tier + Guide

Patient Zero Survivor

• The long story short here is that you have B-Tier team utility and S-Tier solo/carry potential • Your abilities are very selfish and strong if the killer is focusing you but if they leave you alone and kill your team you’ll have a bad time since you have no support • Vital-Mins mean you’ll have more overall health than others despite a lower starting HP pool (I would actually tank hits for your team where you can by baiting the monster and later healing for some improvised team utility) • Dissociate is your strongest ability allowing you to escape and circle back to generators but it has no actual way to help your team (That said it’s really strong once all generators are done and the escape doors open up)

That’s it for my Alter Ego tier list and guide for all Killers and Survivors. If you like Alter Ego then you’ll probably enjoy my Violence District tier list for a similar Dead By Daylight-inspired experience.
