Halloween Havoc Kit Tier List (According to my personal preference)

Heyo,

I'm actually pretty happy to see a Halloween Havoc kit tier list, as it gives me new ideas of what to try out/the pros and cons of each kit. I'd like to first state that this is a pretty well made list with good points.

I would personally believe Rogue is the best kit overall, as it has an amazing range for how powerful the swift strike is. I also believe team support is high in the Rogue kit, as any Rogue could recall right to another teammate to back them up while also receiving half your health back. As long as players are careful playing as Rogue, this could be amazing for either Normal or Challenger mode.

I believe that Mage is the second-best kit. This is because most combinations require a Mage, no matter what. The Mage kit is not only essential for healing but is also extremely powerful shooting out fire burning all incoming mobs. The only reason I wouldn't rank Mage as best is due to the lack of movement.

Finally, I would rank Berserker as third and Archer as last. Berserkers are very efficient while being paired with one mage, this combination could usually beat any level in HH. The main reason I'm ranking Berserker as third is due to the fact that they cannot heal themselves. As for Archer, there's no doubt this is the worst kit overall as it has next to no power, team support, or healing.

Thanks for making this list!

Yes! I'm personally a mage main and I absolutely love HHC and HH from this year. The team has done an amazing job regarding balances and fixes while listening to community suggestions to make quick fixes left and right. I think this list is super insightful and matches a lot of what I'd say regarding each kit as well.

+1 from me, keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing your other threads ^-^

Hey, there are some good points here however on normal mode most people run 4 rogues to speedrun it and finish in under 12 minutes. It allows everyone to recall whenever they need to heal up and leap through everything quickly. My party and I usually kill the Molton Snake before it reaches the cave with 4 rogues, with anything less it'd be more difficult to do. Also, Gendo is easier to finish quickly since rogues can easily leap out of mid when TNT drops. Skipping the sewers on both challenger and normal mode is an easily doable and unproductive use of time if a team tries to take these mobs in my opinion. It's also a useful kit for the part where you rush to the ship since you can choose between using leap or recall to get back up if you fall off (which happens more times than I would like). It's a useful guide but undersells rogue in my opinion, which is definitely the fastest kit to use, which essentially makes it the best in my opinion as more wins will mean more XP. Thanks for the guide though and nice work putting it together :)

 

Sick! Cool! Rad!

 

Hey there!

This is a great comprehensive list on the HH kits!
However I have to agree with disgruntle on this one, the four rogues strategy is the best for speed running (my opinion). Games usually run around 12-15 minutes when speed running with this kit. It is extremely easy to pop ult and kill the molten snake before it reaches the cave. Its also pretty easy to kill Gendo assuming you have capable team mates. All you really have to do is focus creepers when they spawn, run away from tnt, recall when you need health or are in a sticky situation, and focus Gendo when creepers or tnt aren’t present. However, you do need to be careful about taking a lot of damage. The mobs can easily kill you if you aren’t careful. Lastly, The Pumpkin King is easily defeated if you and your team mates don't die. All you have to do is get him to agro onto someone while the remaining team kills the blazes, after that all you have to watch out for is the lava, tnt, red, and creepers.

 

Hey!

I really like this tier list; it's very professionally put together and sums up every class in great summary. My personal preference is Rogue, simply because I feel it's the most versatile class. It's fast, hit's hard, and even heals it's self. I also feel it's a very adept class to play, but not that hard to learn how to use well. It may take a couple tries, but when you get comfortable with Rogue, I feel it outshines every other class. Not to say Rogue makes other classes obsolete, I think a great, well rounded team, especially one for Challenger mode would look something like this:

1 Berserker: Sponge up damage for when revives are necessary, and it's AOE (Area Of Effect) attacks keep mobs in check
1 Mage: Needed for heals of course, but also helpful for setting bosses on fire to keep that DOT (Damage Over Time) continuously circulating throughout the fight.
2 Rogues: The damage dealers in the group. As stated above, they move fast and are ESSENTIAL for keeping the pace going. Their diamond swords single-handedly dish out the most damage in boss fights, but their double jump leap is very helpful when fighting the blazes at the end with the Pumpkin King.
