These Champions are still viable for any kind of competitive match, but you need a decent amount of practice and team optimization for them to work.

| Champion | Class |
|---|---|
| Dredge | Damage |
| Buck | Flank |
| Ruckus | Front Line |
| Tyra | Damage |
D-Tier
These Champions will rarely steal the spotlight in matches. They can be good as side characters that would help the team win, but won’t be able to carry the whole squad.
| Champion | Class |
|---|---|
| Grohk | Support |
| Vivian | Damage |
F-Tier
These Champions would need solid buffs in the future to be able to rank higher on this list. They seldom get picked in competitive matches because you can’t build around them, nor do their abilities shine.
| Champion | Class |
|---|---|
| Moji | Flank |
| Maeve | Flank |
With this list as your guide, you will now be able to strategize which Champions will play well together to earn more wins in matches.
