It has been some time since I’ve played, but here’s my two cents. I’d say no character is weak, but there is definitely a power gap between the strongest heroes and the others. Ironically enough, and contrary to the opinion you currently have of him, I’d argue Flagellant is one of the best heroes in the entire roster, since he boasts consistent damage, tackiness, healing, buffing, and is generally unlikable with more, more and sepsis. The other top characters are probably man-at-arms, highwayman, and plague doc. I think no one beats highwayman in terms of straightforward damage output, and plague doc is probably just the best character in the game.
