Concord is a 5v5 team-based first-person shooter for PS5 and PC that pits your team of Freegunners against rival teams. The 16 launch characters are mostly a band of mercenaries and outlaws that belong to a crew called the Northstar. After experiencing the early access beta, mechanics around characters felt similar to Overwatch, while its game modes lean more towards Call of Duty. So, here’s our Concord tier list ranking all the characters according to how effective they were in our matches.

Haymar – A Fire Mystic

Haymar is a powerful Freegunner that can hover over the battlefield and control fire at will. You can use her fire abilities to block enemy paths and deal explosive damage with her Flameshot Bow. Her versatile skills put her at the very top of this Concord characters tier list. If you’re planning an ambush or stuck in a corner, you can use her blinding flash to get the upper hand on the enemy team.

Yondu…I mean, Lennox is revered as one of the best Gunslingers in the galaxy, and for good reason. He can do some serious damage to enemies with his heavy handgun and a rapid-firing revolver. He’s also quite self-sufficient due to his self-healing abilities. His exploding knife also does a decent amount of explosive damage to enemies.

Duchess is a strong Mystic to have on your team, as she can block enemy pathways with walls that stay up even after multiple rounds. Not only can she control the battlefield, she can change the landscape of it. She can also blast enemies away with her Ruinous Blast ability. Her Ruinous Blast also makes enemies caught in the blase vulnerable to increased damage from your team.
Cew BonusRanger: Better weapon recoil.WeaponsBA02 SMGCombat TraitDodge Reload: Reloads weapon while dodging.Passive AbilitiesAustorium Resistance: Duchess’ blasts won’t damage her if she’s caught in them.Active AbilitiesConstruct Wall: Creates a wall on a designated spot obstructing enemy movements.

Kyps – A Stealthy Robot That Reveals Enemy Positions
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
Kyps is a great support character that can help teammates get the upper hand in more ways than one. For starters, she can deploy traps that flag enemies’ locations if triggered. If enemies’ skills are becoming a problem for your team, she can chuck a grenade at them, disabling their skills and damaging shields. She can also position herself easily behind enemy lines after turning invisible on dodge.
Crew BonusTactician: Faster reloads.WeaponsBurst Pistol (Suppressed)Combat TraitMarked Target: Reveals enemy position and resets cooldown when damaging an enemy during Stealth.Passive AbilitiesStealth: Turns invisible when dodging enemy attacks for a short duration.

Emari – A Tank With a Gattling Gun & Projectile Shield
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
Emari is built like a tank that can also shred enemies with her Rotary cannon. She’s the anchor that protects her teammates with a projectile shield and also buffs their defenses with additional armor. Her great defense stats make her a great part of any team.
Crew BonusAnchor: Increased incoming healing.WeaponsRotary Scrap CannonCombat TraitSynergy Shield: Destroying Protile Shield grants armor.Passive AbilitiesTough as Nails: She receives reduced damage to her bodyActive AbilitiesArmor Generator: Stackable ability that generates armor for nearby teammates.

Star Child – Rage Fueled Warrior With Impenetrable Skin
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
Star Child is a beast who charges towards enemies without worrying about damage after hardening his skin. His Shotgun makes quick work of enemies, but not as quickly as his Power Slam, which knocks back enemies. He’s a great Freegunner for players who like to take on enemies up close.
Crew BonusBreacher: Faster dodge cooldowns.WeaponsSkullbreaker ShotgunCombat TraitDiamond Dodge: Activate Diamond Skin for a short duration while dodging.Passive AbilitiesDiamond Skin: Hardens skin, which provides additional armor when using active skills.

Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
1-0ff is a sentient recycling robot that joined the ranks of Freegunners. He’s a great Tank character that teammates can rely on to suck up enemy projectiles with his Industrial Vacuum. He can also reverse the flow of the Vacuum and blast enemies back. His deployable Air Barriers come in handy to set up defenses against projectiles in blind spots.

Jabali – Hybrid DPS Healer
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
Jabali is a decent support character who can share his energy to heal his teammates and cause damage to enemies. His Pulse-Guided Rifle makes him a medium-range fighter who can launch Hunter Orbs that seek out enemies and blast them. The more damage he inflicts with Hunter Orbs, the better healing he performs.
Crew BonusRanger: Better weapon recoil.WeaponsPulse-Guided Seeker RifleCombat TraitPulse Radius: Increased radius for the Life Pulse’s healing aura.Passive AbilitiesLife Cycle: Taking down enemies or hitting them with Hunter Orb recharges Life Pulse.Active AbilitiesLife Pulse: Launches an orb that creates a radius of healing aura around an ally.

Daw is a dedicated healer who can keep your team pushing forward through the “thickest” of battles (no pun, I swear). He can provide covering fire with his Burst Rifle while focusing on keeping teammates alive through deployed healing devices and a protective dome.

IT-Z – Teleports Around Enemies & Disrupts Their Weapons
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
We personally had a lot of fun trying out IT-Z’s teleportation abilities. She’s fast, but her Cosmic Slip abilities position her as one of the fastest Freegunners in Concord. She can also distract enemies by leaving a decoy behind after teleporting or dodging. Her enemy weapon disruption abilities are really useful in intense situations where the enemy team is DPS-heavy.
Crew BonusHaunt: Increased mobility.WeaponsElectrostatic SMGCombat TraitEvasive Maneuvers: Increased mobility when low HP.Passive AbilitiesMirror Image: Dodging or Cosmic Slip creates a decoy.Active AbilitiesCosmic Slip: Throws an orb to a designated location, and on the second activation, she teleports to the orb.

Vale – Deadly Sniper
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
She’s a deadly sniper who can also track enemies through walls. Her bionic limbs give her increased mobility so she can position herself at a vantage point quicker and be ready for incoming enemies. She can also place a mine in her blind spots to damage any approaching enemies.
Crew BonusWarden: Increased weapon range.WeaponsMonarch “Long 52” Sniper RifleCombat TraitEnduring Aim: Gain damage resistance while aiming down sight with Sniper Rifle.Passive AbilitiesPeak Performance: Gain faster rifle handling on a critical hit.

Roka – Master of “Death from Above”
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
Roka shines when her Jet Propulsion boots keep her in the air, and she can shoot down a barrage of rockets at enemies. The Missile-Lock function helps her track and release missiles at the right moment, ensuring they hit the target without fail. She can also slam into the ground, inflicting AOE damage to enemies to switch to a more ground-based combat instead of flying.
Crew BonusHaunt: Increased mobility.WeaponsSAL-90 Light Missile LauncherCombat TraitHover Targeting: Target locking enemies is quicker while hovering.Passive AbilitiesExplosive Jump: Create a damaging explosion on double and triple jumps.
Missile Lock: Aiming down sight target-locks an enemy.Active AbilitiesHover Thrusters: Roka can hover in the air.
Blast Dive: Slam into the ground and deal AOE damage to enemies in the vicinity.Movement SkillsRoka can hover in the air, do air dodges, and perform triple jump.
Teo – Standard DPS Character
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
The role of TEO in Concord is similar to Soldier-76 in Overwatch. He provides a similar gameplay feel to a player who’s an avid Call of Duty or a Battlefield player who’s trying out a hero-based team shooter. He wields two good DPS weapons with great movement skills, like multiple dodges and jumps. Teo is also armed with two types of grenades that either let him enshroud enemies in smoke or damage them.
Crew BonusRanger: Better weapon recoil.WeaponsZEG-12 Guild Gard Rifle
CL ROC 99 Guild Guard SidearmCombat TraitRapid Reposition: Increased mobility after performing a dodge.Passive AbilitiesTactical Weapon Sights: See enemies through smoke when aiming down sights.Active AbilitiesSmoke Grenade: Throws a grenade that produces a cloud of smoke on detonation.
Cluster Grenade: Throws a frag grenade that splits into smaller explosives.Movement SkillsCan perform double jump and double dodge.
Daveers – Burns Up The Battlefield
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
Our first impression of Daveers was that of a hybrid DPS support character. She can create flammable pools of Burnite that can either self-ignite or teammates can strategically set off to burn enemies. She can also throw darts at enemies to cause even more fire damage. However, her limited usability is what ranked her in the lower tier of our Concord characters tier list.
Crew BonusBreacher: Quicker dodge cooldown.WeaponsMK 5 Burnite Grenade LauncherCombat TraitResistant Dodge: Gain damage resistance for a brief time after a dodge.Passive AbilitiesVolatile Chemicals: Teammates can shoot Burnite pools and ignite them.Active AbilitiesIgnition Dart: A dart that inflicts fire damage to enemies and ignores Burnite pools.
Burnite Canister: Creates Burnite pools around an area that can self-ignite. Movement SkillsCan perform a double jump.
Bazz – Enemy Tracking Ninja
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
Bazz is one of the most unique characters in this Concord tier list. Instead of a standard weapon, she wields throwing knives that inflict decent damage to enemies. She’s an expert at tracking enemies, especially if they’re hit with her throwing knives. Her mobility skills are the highest among all the characters, as she can double jump, triple dodge, and perform a boosted slide jump.
Crew BonusHaunt: Increased mobility.WeaponsCarbon Steel Throwing KnivesCombat TraitSkillful Tracker: Track enemies through walls while crouching.Passive AbilitiesBeacon Blades: Can track enemies hit with a throwing knife.Active AbilitiesLunging Strike: Lunge and attack enemies with a deadly melee strike.
Scourge Star: Thrown items at enemies inflict vulnerability debuff on them so they take increased damage.Movement SkillsCan perform double jump, triple dodge and boosted slide jump.
Lark – Buffing Algea
Source: Firewalk Studios via Gamepur
Lark is also a support and one of those situational characters in this Concord tier list. It mostly buffs teammates with haste and increases damage resistance while making enemies vulnerable and slower, which is nice. However, the Razorpod Launcher doesn’t output enough damage, and enemies can easily predict Lark’s returning to a planted pod ability.
Crew BonusTactician: Faster Reloads. WeaponsRazorpod LauncherCombat TraitNatural Dexterity: Gain faster reloads in a spore area.Passive AbilitiesFungal Resistance: Damage resistance increases with the amount of active spores. Active AbilitiesTransplant Pod: Puts down a pod that Lark can return back to.
Spore Seed: This drops a spore on the ground that grows over time. It grants teammates haste and increased damage resistance and makes enemies slower and more vulnerable.Movement SkillsCan perform a double jump.
So these were all the best characters in Concord ranked in a tier list. This tier list is based on our first impressions in the early access beta and will be updated if there are any changes made to the characters.
The rankings are based on our personal experience with these characters, which may differ from yours. So we recommend trying every character anyway to see if you can utilize a character that aligns with your playstyle better.
