Ultimate Achilles Survivor Powers Tier List

Ultimate Achilles Survivor Powers Tier List

Achilles Survivor merges legendary characters from Greek mythology with survivor gameplay. As is the case with all survivor games, some weapons and abilities are better than others and they often make or break your run. To learn which are best in Achilles, here is our definitive Achilles Survivor powers tier list.

Achilles Survivor Powers Tier List

You can find the tier list of all powers in Achilles Survivor in the table below. They are split into two categories based on whether they are universal or survivor-specific. Generally, any skill that is too close-range will have diminished value, and that is reflected in the tier list. Also, the ranking of the survivor-specific powers reflects the current power ranking of all survivors in the game.
