Paladins: Champions - Official Tier

Editorial placements for Paladins: Champions, with the reasoning behind each list.

Best Champions Tier List

Every one of the 59 champions in Paladins on a single board, sorted for the settled meta where a champion's kit - not the next patch - decides the draft. The S row collects the eleven names that can win a match on their own: Azaan, Makoa, Fernando and Khan anchor the frontline, Imani, Omen and Cassie carry the damage role, Androxus, Vatu and Vora hunt from the flanks, and Mal'Damba is the single support that earns the top band. A holds the reliable cores like Inara, Atlas, Ash, Lian, Ying and Jenos, while B, C and D are drafts that still work in casual queues - in Paladins, a practiced main beats a first-time meta pick every time.

Front Line Tier List

All fourteen frontline champions ranked. Azaan, Makoa, Fernando and Khan take S because each one owns a win condition: Azaan pressures with damage and a duel-winning ultimate, Makoa hooks a target out of position, Fernando protects a lane with shield and fire, and Khan flips a fight with his grab. Inara, Atlas and Ash form a strong A row built on zone control and pick potential. The B band - Terminus, Barik, Ruckus, Yagorath and Torvald - rewards specific maps and team plans, while Nyx and Raum close the role at the bottom by consensus.

Damage Tier List

All eighteen damage champions ranked. Imani, Omen and Cassie define the role at the top: Imani switches stances to answer anything at range, Omen brings the newest kit to the board, and Cassie pokes with crossbow fire and disengage. The A row is the deepest in the game - Lian, Saati, Bomb King, Octavia, Willo, Drogoz, Tiberius and Kinessa - each one a comfort pick with real carry potential. Sha Lin and Tyra hold B, while Strix, Dredge, Betty la Bomba and Viktor fall to C and Vivian closes the list in D.

Flank Tier List

All fourteen flank champions ranked. Androxus, Vatu and Vora sit on the S line: Androxus still has the highest solo-carry ceiling in the game, Vatu dives with unmatched vertical pressure, and Vora sticks to a target until it is gone. Koga and Evie follow in A with stance swapping and blink mobility. B is the crowded middle - VII, Talus, Zhin, Maeve and Lex - all playable, each with a clear counter. Buck and Skye hold C, and Caspian and Kasumi finish in D.

Support Tier List

All thirteen support champions ranked. Mal'Damba is the only support in S: no other healer combines sustain, area denial and a stun ultimate as cleanly. Ying, Jenos, Furia and Lillith form the A row with clones, astral marks, solar burst and blood magic. The B band - Corvus, Pip, Moji, Grover and Rei - covers spread healing and off-healer damage. Seris, Io and Grohk close in C, still useful picks in casual queues where sustain rules the objective.

Beginner Friendly Tier List

The champions to learn Paladins with - picks whose value comes from positioning, timing and utility instead of raw aim. Fernando, Ying, Jenos and Tyra lead the list: shield play, clone healing, astral marks and predictable damage teach the macro of the game. The A row adds Makoa, Khan, Terminus, Barik, Ruckus, Grover, Viktor, Willo and Seris, forgiving kits that stay useful at every level. Raum and Grohk close as B picks that reward patience more than mechanics.
