Definitive Achilles Survivor Powers Tier List

Achilles Survivor merges legendary characters from Greek mythology with survivor gameplay. As is the case with all survivor games, some weapons and abilities are better than others and they often make or break your run. To learn which are best in Achilles, here is our definitive Achilles Survivor powers tier list.

Achilles Survivor Powers Tier List

You can find the tier list of all powers in Achilles Survivor in the table below. They are split into two categories based on whether they are universal or survivor-specific. Generally, any skill that is too close-range will have diminished value, and that is reflected in the tier list. Also, the ranking of the survivor-specific powers reflects the current power ranking of all survivors in the game.

Power Type	S Tier	A Tier	B Tier	C Tier	D Tier
Universal	Blades of Madness Chimera Spikes	Frenzy Axes Griffin's Claw Titan's Blade	Firework Shield Throw	Agamemnon's Wrath Wrath of Ares	Hydra's Fang Talos' March
Survivor	Deadly Dagger Apollo's Light Eternal Rot	Easter Eggs Deadeye Arrows Dual Axes	Runic Strike Myrmidon Spear	Prince of Troy Gear Sharp Blade	Rolling Boulder

For more info on each power, check out the tables below. Each power is upgraded by certain types of improvements and can gain unique transformations, as outlined in the transformations columns. Also, survivor-specific powers are locked for the respective characters and can't be obtained on others.

Universal Powers List

Universal powers are available to all characters in Achilles Survivor. You can have 3 of them (4 total, including your survivor power), and you get to pick them at levels 5, 12, and 20. If you're unhappy with the options, you can reroll the selection for 15/20/etc. gold.
