There are 413 villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and I will rank all of them in this tier list.
All villagers present in New Leaf and most from Welcome Amiibo make a return, while 16 new villagers are added. In addition, eight villagers from the original Animal Crossing games return for the first time in nearly 20 years.
Villagers exist to populate your island, and they don’t have any unique effects. This tier list will rank them based on the completely objective appearance and personality criteria.
