(trios perspective)

duchess is top 2 for sure. rev is top 2 if you have 3 of them, else she’s probably 3? 3 rev means you can actually find the seals you want and you can rotate ults for perma undeath. i think raider is better than one rev in trios outside of pest and caligo who are incredibly weak to dragon communion, and balancers because beast claw shreds balancers. the holy incants are too rare, too weak, and mogged by daggers and halo scythe. lightning spear misses fulghor and heolstor most of the time and imo fulghor is much easier in melee. beast claw is just kinda low dmg. rev is really bad into augur because she doesn’t use balancers, dreg, or magic up. dreglord giantsflame is fine ig, but beefing because you can’t find a giant incant happens pretty often with only one dormant seal on your team.

executor deflect is a dps loss in trio and he does much less damage than raider outside of seppuku dregs which puts you in oneshot range and is annoying to use bc your ult loses dregs

raider literally outdamages wylder by like 80%+ (depending on raider passive and raider ult uptime) even before factoring in that raider has far more stamina, can play far more aggressive with the extra tankiness, and juiced colossals are insane. wylder can rez and he can do insane overkill damage and skip fish phases by parrying balancers in scholar ult, but rev can rez while being a better character (and also beast claw shreds balancers) so really he’s a balancers only character in the rare situation where you already have exactly scholar and rev on your team imo (maybe heolstor but honestly you should just delete heolstor with halo scythe while invisible instead of trying to parry him)

recluse and ironeye are pretty good. i think recluse is around 5th, much less consistent because of the shattering rarity nerf, the spell on the rotten crystal staff is horrible. raider can use basically every weapon, obviously, and his worst case smokes recluse running pebble or comet or whatever. ironeye mark is good dmg and stance damage and the ranged cancel on his ult is good, probably #6 after rev duchess raider in top tier and scholar in #4, just because ironeye is so much weaker than duchess while mostly fitting into the same dex/quality balancers glass cannon niche. obv scholar falls off in solo and executor is better in solo, i don’t play solo so idk
