[GUIDE] Horizon Walker Tier List

As Horizon Walker prepares for its English language release on Korean servers this November, we’ve prepared a tier list to help both new players and experienced tacticians navigate their team-building decisions. Originally launched in Korea in August 2024 by Gentlemaniac, a studio formed by former Last Origin developers, this turn-based RPG is now expanding its reach to a global audience.

While players should note that the Horizon Walker English localization is still in beta phase, this tier list will serve as a valuable resource for understanding character rankings and optimizing team compositions. Adding to the excitement, players can preserve their progress by linking their Google accounts, allowing for seamless data transfer from the Korean version.

The criteria for each ranking are as follows:

Rating(s):

• S Tier – These characters are some of the best in the game, and generally excel at fulfilling their role in most scenarios and are highly recommended to build.
• A Tier – Excellent batch of characters, only falling slightly behind the S-tier units, and can play well in most content.
• B Tier – Still worth the investment and can be pretty solid in certain teams or circumstances.
• C Tier – Situational. May not be worth the investment due to limited usage.
• D Tier – Very situational. Not recommended unless under a specific scenario.

S Tier
Nika	Core in endgame teams has self-sustaining stealth and resilience.
Everette	One of the best characters with high AoE damage.
A Tier
Matros	High mobility and single-target damage, but fragile.
Mariam	Very strong with stealth and anti-counter attacks.

Min Ensu	High cost shield character.
