Entity Tier List

This tier list ranks Darkest Hours entities by average squad wipe potential, mechanical complexity, and counter skill required—using pre-alpha v0.2 balance and community TierMaker consensus. S-tier threats demand specific knowledge; C-tier entities are learnable through movement alone. Rankings shift when CaptainSpinxs patches pathfinding or damage.

Defect — HIDE path mechanic and vision obscure; instant down if you stay on red routes.
The Founder — Faster than player when chasing, ground slam, defends POI areas.
RED44 — Provoked by sight; chases relentlessly once triggered.

Study these before queuing 3-star maps. Read provokable entities and sight detection guides.

Alex, Baldi, Brute Twins, DOOM.EXE, Eyemaster, Freddybear Band, GHOSTS, Guttertank, Kolossos, Lockdown, Renderman, Siren, TheEntity, The Mafia, Trollge, and similar threats dominate most wipes. They combine multiple threat types or group mechanics requiring squad callouts.

B-tier: Agony, Angry Munci, Bullseye, Coalcart, Funboiler, Grappler, Guesty, Guidance, Gundog, Lita, Milkwalker, Mimic, Newborns, Spawn, Sprintbear, Streamer, Thornwalker, Wanderer, and others—dangerous but counterable with items and stamina play.

C-tier: Bob., Fuwatty — use as practice for chase breaks. Revisit entity survival after each patch.
