Saw someone post this one on FB and it was the first tierlist that I actually agreed with. This includes the runback in the difficulty ranking.
The only real changes I would make to it are swapping Widow and First Sinner, splitting Crust King into two entries, 1 for the Coral Tower itself, and another for the boss fight proper, and then moving the Fire Wisp boss to Free. The 3 challenge rooms were harder than Crust King was, but he was a fun fight so I give him a lot of slack. As for Fire boss, granted I did find him very, very late so that probably skews my perception, but I literally just pogoed it to death on the first try so.
I would probably put Groal in his own tier too at the top tbh. Fuck that nonsense. That was easily the worst part of the game. However, I did not find the secret bench so that also skews my take on it, but it still would not be a positive take if I had.
I also did not enjoy the Skarrsinger fight. My main issue coming down to her having too much goddamn health. If she had as much as Nyleth? Fine. Doable. 1600? On a boss with a precursor fight? That can parry/null half your attacks and anti-air you from the entire stage?? Fuck that. Took me way too long to beat her even with full confidence in her patterns because the fight just dragged on for so fucking long.
Also fuck Lost Lace, but final boss and all that. Teleporting-ass bitch
