Character Tier List in Idol Showdown
Here are all the characters in Idol Showdown ranked from the weakest to the strongest one.
8. Fubuki Shirakami
Fubuki can be extremely strong but can also end up extremely weak and that’s entirely based on RNG.
Her kit focuses solely on luck and can Fubuki can jump from S-Tier to D-Tier within seconds. Due to that inconsistency, Fubuki is considered the weakest character in Idol Showdown.
If you’re feeling lucky or just want to have fun, Fubuki is definitely worth a try but I would recommend avoiding her if you’re more into competitive play.
7. Coco Kiryu
Coco Kiryu can deal high damage but not high enough to justify her difficulty. While she can seem stronger than Korone, Coco requires significant effort to use her combos properly and for many players, the reward simply isn’t worth it.
If you want to test your limits and practice with one of the hardest characters in Idol Showdown, feel free to give Coco a try.
6. Korone Inugami
Korone Inugami has easy combos overall but slightly lacks damage. While she’s a solid choice for beginners, she gets outperformed but most other characters later on.
As with every character, she is worth trying out to learn her limits, but don’t expect too much.
5. Sora Tokino
Sora is an average all-around character who utilizes the power of music to deal damage.
She is fun to play and has a fairly unique kit but her damage and combos are nothing special. Due to that, she sits around the middle spot of this tier list.
4. Suisei Hoshimachi
Suisei is a high-risk high-reward character. If the tier list was only about performance, Suisei would be contesting the top stop as she can phenomenal damage and combo capabilities.
However, she is extremely difficult to master as her combos are fairly complex. Once mastered, Suisei will wreak havoc and any enemy will be afraid to face her.
3. Aki Rosenthal
Aki utilizes MukiRose in combat and the best part of her kit is her amazing gap-closing capabilities.
On top of that, Aki can teleport, which allows her to escape tricky situations or chase down opponents to keep pressuring them.
If used properly, Aki can be a huge threat to any enemy.
2. Ayame Nakiri
Ayame manages to shine due to having solid damage and being extremely easy to learn. The is the ideal character for beginners as she can compete with every other character in the game without having to put much effort in her combos.
Additionally, she can easily counterattack most moves, which gives her a solid edge over her enemy.
1. Botan Shishiro
Βotan Shishiro is the best character in Idol Showdown because of her versatility. She excels in melee and ranged combat, has great combos, and is fairly easy to learn.
Overall, you can’t go wrong with Botan and should definitely try her out if you haven’t yet.
