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.
