Concord Characters Tier List – Ranking The Best Characters

Concord is a 5v5 team-based first-person shooter for PS5 and PC that pits your team of Freegunners against rival teams. The 16 launch characters are mostly a band of mercenaries and outlaws that belong to a crew called the Northstar. After experiencing the early access beta, mechanics around characters felt similar to Overwatch, while its game modes lean more towards Call of Duty. So, here’s our Concord tier list ranking all the characters according to how effective they were in our matches.

Ranking Concord Characters in a Tier List

What are the Best Characters in Concord

After ranking all the characters in this tier list, it’s time to help you figure out which one is the best character for you in Concord. We’ll go over each character and their abilities briefly to help you figure out which ones align with your playstyle better.

Haymar – A Fire Mystic

Haymar is a powerful Freegunner that can hover over the battlefield and control fire at will. You can use her fire abilities to block enemy paths and deal explosive damage with her Flameshot Bow. Her versatile skills put her at the very top of this Concord characters tier list. If you’re planning an ambush or stuck in a corner, you can use her blinding flash to get the upper hand on the enemy team.

Lennox – A DPS Gunslinger

Yondu…I mean, Lennox is revered as one of the best Gunslingers in the galaxy, and for good reason. He can do some serious damage to enemies with his heavy handgun and a rapid-firing revolver. He’s also quite self-sufficient due to his self-healing abilities. His exploding knife also does a decent amount of explosive damage to enemies.

Duchess – A Mystic that Disrupts Enemy Movement

Duchess is a strong Mystic to have on your team, as she can block enemy pathways with walls that stay up even after multiple rounds. Not only can she control the battlefield, she can change the landscape of it. She can also blast enemies away with her Ruinous Blast ability. Her Ruinous Blast also makes enemies caught in the blase vulnerable to increased damage from your team.

Kyps – A Stealthy Robot That Reveals Enemy Positions

Kyps is a great support character that can help teammates get the upper hand in more ways than one. For starters, she can deploy traps that flag enemies’ locations if triggered. If enemies’ skills are becoming a problem for your team, she can chuck a grenade at them, disabling their skills and damaging shields. She can also position herself easily behind enemy lines after turning invisible on dodge.

Emari – A Tank With a Gattling Gun & Projectile Shield

Emari is built like a tank that can also shred enemies with her Rotary cannon. She’s the anchor that protects her teammates with a projectile shield and also buffs their defenses with additional armor. Her great defense stats make her a great part of any team.

Star Child – Rage Fueled Warrior With Impenetrable Skin

Star Child is a beast who charges towards enemies without worrying about damage after hardening his skin. His Shotgun makes quick work of enemies, but not as quickly as his Power Slam, which knocks back enemies. He’s a great Freegunner for players who like to take on enemies up close.

1-0FF – Wall-E’s Final Form That Blasts Enemies With Trash Bag Bombs

1-0ff is a sentient recycling robot that joined the ranks of Freegunners. He’s a great Tank character that teammates can rely on to suck up enemy projectiles with his Industrial Vacuum. He can also reverse the flow of the Vacuum and blast enemies back. His deployable Air Barriers come in handy to set up defenses against projectiles in blind spots.

Jabali – Hybrid DPS Healer

Jabali is a decent support character who can share his energy to heal his teammates and cause damage to enemies. His Pulse-Guided Rifle makes him a medium-range fighter who can launch Hunter Orbs that seek out enemies and blast them. The more damage he inflicts with Hunter Orbs, the better healing he performs.

Daw – Healing Protector

Daw is a dedicated healer who can keep your team pushing forward through the “thickest” of battles (no pun, I swear). He can provide covering fire with his Burst Rifle while focusing on keeping teammates alive through deployed healing devices and a protective dome.

IT-Z – Teleports Around Enemies & Disrupts Their Weapons

We personally had a lot of fun trying out IT-Z’s teleportation abilities. She’s fast, but her Cosmic Slip abilities position her as one of the fastest Freegunners in Concord. She can also distract enemies by leaving a decoy behind after teleporting or dodging. Her enemy weapon disruption abilities are really useful in intense situations where the enemy team is DPS-heavy.

Vale – Deadly Sniper

She’s a deadly sniper who can also track enemies through walls. Her bionic limbs give her increased mobility so she can position herself at a vantage point quicker and be ready for incoming enemies. She can also place a mine in her blind spots to damage any approaching enemies.

Roka – Master of “Death from Above”

Roka shines when her Jet Propulsion boots keep her in the air, and she can shoot down a barrage of rockets at enemies. The Missile-Lock function helps her track and release missiles at the right moment, ensuring they hit the target without fail. She can also slam into the ground, inflicting AOE damage to enemies to switch to a more ground-based combat instead of flying.

Teo – Standard DPS Character

The role of TEO in Concord is similar to Soldier-76 in Overwatch. He provides a similar gameplay feel to a player who’s an avid Call of Duty or a Battlefield player who’s trying out a hero-based team shooter. He wields two good DPS weapons with great movement skills, like multiple dodges and jumps. Teo is also armed with two types of grenades that either let him enshroud enemies in smoke or damage them.

Daveers – Burns Up The Battlefield

Our first impression of Daveers was that of a hybrid DPS support character. She can create flammable pools of Burnite that can either self-ignite or teammates can strategically set off to burn enemies. She can also throw darts at enemies to cause even more fire damage. However, her limited usability is what ranked her in the lower tier of our Concord characters tier list.

Bazz – Enemy Tracking Ninja

Bazz is one of the most unique characters in this Concord tier list. Instead of a standard weapon, she wields throwing knives that inflict decent damage to enemies. She’s an expert at tracking enemies, especially if they’re hit with her throwing knives. Her mobility skills are the highest among all the characters, as she can double jump, triple dodge, and perform a boosted slide jump.

Lark – Buffing Algea

Lark is also a support and one of those situational characters in this Concord tier list. It mostly buffs teammates with haste and increases damage resistance while making enemies vulnerable and slower, which is nice. However, the Razorpod Launcher doesn’t output enough damage, and enemies can easily predict Lark’s returning to a planted pod ability.

So these were all the best characters in Concord ranked in a tier list. This tier list is based on our first impressions in the early access beta and will be updated if there are any changes made to the characters.

The rankings are based on our personal experience with these characters, which may differ from yours. So we recommend trying every character anyway to see if you can utilize a character that aligns with your playstyle better.
