Pass the Fear’s launch Hunter tier list ranks playable characters by overall strength, damage potential and ease of use. Long Tong and Jenny are placed in S-tier, while Elena, Marcus and Jester are identified as strong A-tier choices.

– S-tier: Long Tong — fights alongside a dragon companion whose breath deals 80% elemental weapon damage and applies damage over time; her ultimate doubles its final damage and attack speed for 10 seconds.
– S-tier: Jenny — gains a random weapon part after dismantling seven parts; her bomb ultimate deals 1,000% current weapon damage in a large area.
– A-tier: Elena — high damage and mobility, but requires precise shoot-and-dodge timing to use her Demon Hunting Silver Arrow effectively.
– A-tier: Marcus — focuses on firing extra bullets and critical hits, with some randomness that later upgrades can reduce.
– A-tier: Jester — a free starting character whose simple kit can create powerful combinations through Novice’s Luck and Justice Heart.
