• S Tier: Spear Rogue (TZ > Matron > Reg)
  
• A Tier: Urdar > Minion of Destruction > Vile Mother
  
• B Tier: Goatman > Hephasto > Smith > Axe Rogue > Hell Buzzard
  
• C Tier: Council > Balrog / Overseer / Putrid Defiler / Tainted > Flayer
  
• F Tier: Fallen/Fetish Shaman > Siren > Fetish / Archer Rogue > Demon Imp > Succubi
  
• Platinum SSS Hidden Tier: Pain Worm / Vile Child upgraded to unique via monster shrine so it has cursed

Rankings are only for true pokemon trainers not 1 pointer echoing strike builds that just need aura.
When you've got high blood oath the HP/damage difference on Hephasto and a Goatman is mostly irrelevant, they are both unkillable and 95% dps comes from the skill, but A5 tundra goats run 50% faster
If you just need a lowbie aura bot then the base HP really does matter and you can go grind river of flame every time you die, you take that long walk of shame
Rogues with shields have blocking but that makes them worse because they have an animation that interrupts them, better to just take damage.
Any monster that uses an ability that does nothing or has a defensive AI is wasting time not attacking. At least Vile Mothers bring a permanent set of meat shields with them, unlike Shamans
All ranged attacks are totally worthless.

Ok

Disappointed there’s no vaporeon in the list.

Why is Spear Rogue ranked so highly? Also Hephasto isn't #1?

Jab destroys stuff

Spear rogue uses attack, power/cold strike & jab. And jab hits 3 times in a row.
Hephasto uses normal attack. Goats move 50% faster and waste less time between targets, while Hephasto attacks a bit faster, but they're all limited by 15 frame AI delay and at 75% EIAS its 22 fpa vs 24-26 FPA

Also secret ???? tier:


He can run into towns from outside them, but won't attack people once in town (maybe the AI terror glitch could force it, but he'd still be unable to kill)
If he dies in town he remains a clickable corpse that won't reanimate, because he's paused. If you leave the area and return he defaults back to standing animation but still idle

Any chance you can post a video of a Spear rogue killing Diablo?
Also where do you suggest we collect the spear rogues, is that just cold plains?

Only act 5 guest monster spearwomen use jab, and the matron's den version (who have 4x the HP).
You can collect them in frigid highlands, frozen river, ancient's way and worldstone keep 1



I'm guessing the stray fetish is simply failing to look up its stats in areas it doesn't belong and has 0-0 base damage and the chip damage I'm taking is from spectral hit. Not sure why it has a real HP pool then.
Going to be very hard to menace anyone with it if its just doing 83 ele damage per hit. Maybe if it has mana burn it could drain someone?

Thank you

So the best option is something from a terror zone in one of those areas?
