D-tier characters

Bing

Bing’s capabilities are theoretically quite powerful but his damage doesn’t scale as well as others. In addition, Bing only has one hero trait, Blast Nova, which reduces his variety.

Carino

Carino’s circumstances are quite similar to Bing in the damage department, especially if you choose the Ranger of Glory hero trait. If you want to put his talents to better use, we recommend going for Carino’s Lethal Flash hero trait instead, with its scaling good enough to bump this character up a tier or two.

C-tier characters

Rosa

Rosa’s mobility and damage are respectable. As strong as she is with the right gear, Rosa’s playstyle requires you to get hit if you want to build up her damage. Once you get used to her unique playstyle, High Court Chariot Rosa becomes rewarding to master and play.

Thea

Thea can seamlessly switch between high-speed offense and defense by manipulating her blessings. Incarnation of the Gods gives Thea extreme flexibility, but that freedom can complicate her for new players to pick up.

B-tier characters

Iris

Iris is one of the two summoner characters in this tier. With her bevy of Spirit Magus skills, Growing Breeze Iris can deal damage while her summons tank for her. Her lack of mobility and low defenses make her vulnerable at times, so positioning is key.

Moto

Moto is the other summoner that prefers technology. His army of mechanical summons tank and deal multiple types of damage. Charge Calling Moto is less vulnerable to being swarmed and his constant Overload buffs will ensure his minions stay on the offensive.

A-tier characters

Gemma

Gemma is the queen of crowd control with her arsenal of Cold spells. Frostbitten Heart amplifies her icy potential even further, constantly slowing and freezing enemies that approach her. Gemma’s only weakness is her dependency on Cold damage and lack of single-target skills.

Erika

Erika‘s specialty is high-speed movement. With Lightning Shadow, her reflexes get even faster while she dashes from enemy to enemy, inflicting Shock and dealing Lightning damage. Her playstyle can be quite risky for new players, but mastering her is worth the effort.

S-tier characters

Rehan

Rehan is a powerful brute often found fighting amid enemies. This reckless playstyle is supported by his Anger hero trait, allowing him to build up Rage and deal immense bursts of damage. Just ensure you don’t burn out before you wipe out your enemies.

Youga

Youga is considered by many players to be the best Torchlight: Infinite character. Both his hero traits are strong, however, Spacetime Elapse deals more damage over time than its counterpart while imbuing Youga with immense speed. A lot of his damage is automatic, so to clear content all you have to do is plow through enemies.
