So you’ve just started playing Decaying Winter and aren’t sure which perks are good? Well, you’re in luck, as that’s exactly what our Decaying Winter perk tier list is here to help with. In this very guide, we rank all of the characters from S tier to D tier, with S being best and D being worst. That way, you can focus on filling out your party with S and A tiers to ensure that you perform well, skipping the B-D tiers. We’ll also include a description of the tiers so you know what they actually mean.

Delve into this survival shooter Roblox game as you work together with fellow players to survive each night. Wander the environment to find a range of items such as brand-new weapons, ammo, materials, and more. Once the sun sets, danger is lurking around every corner.

You can learn more about it on the game’s official Roblox page. We also recommend checking out our Reaper 2 tier list, Wisteria 2 breathing tier list, and our A One Piece Game fruit tier list.

Decaying Winter Perk Tier List

Before we move onto the tier list proper, here’s a description of how our tiering system works so that you can make sense of it.

What Do Our Tiers Mean?

Here’s a brief explanation of each of our tiers:

  • S Tier: Perks in this tier are the absolute best that the game has to offer. You should prioritise unlocking these.
  • A Tier: These perks are still great in their own right, but they just lack a little something when you compare them to an S tier. Use them when you need to, but drop them when you can.
  • B Tier: These perks are pretty good, and are solid, if unremarkable. Definitely swap them out for A tiers and S tiers, but don’t be ashamed to use them if you need to.
  • C Tier: This is when we get into ‘bad perk’ territory. C tiers are, much like D tiers, some of the worst perks in the game, but they often have niche uses.
  • D Tier: Characters in this tier are simply never worth using. They’re the worst characters in the game, suffering from severe balance issues, and will underperform at all points in any modes. Don’t use them if you can avoid it.

  • There are no perks in D-tier at the moment – please check back soon!

Decaying Winter Perk Tier List FAQ

Still unsure about our tier list? Got questions about Decaying Winter in general? Hopefully our tier list can help!

What’s A Tier List?

We should probably have answered this question at the beginning, eh? A tier list is, quite simply, a list of all of the characters in a specific game ranked from best to worst. In our case, S is the best characters with D being the worst, and A, B, and C filling the gaps.

The purpose of a tier list is to help you determine which characters to use at all stages of the game. We try and make our tier list as useful as possible by explaining our tier system.

For example, there are instances where certain characters are excellent during the beginning of a game, but fade later on. Or, they could be good at a certain game mode. We’ll always try and make this clear.

How Did We Select Our Decaying Winter Perk Tier List?

We used a number of different sources when selecting our Decaying Winter perk tier list, but, primarily, we judge based on our personal experience with the game. As a result, it is bound to be quite a subjective list, but there’s no getting around that.

To determine the rankings, we both experiment with the perks in the game (if unlocked), as well as theory-craft based on skill descriptions and raw statistics. That’s why you’ll see our tier list change so much when a game first launches, as we’re in the testing phase.

It’s also worth noting that we do scour communities, like Reddit, for community feedback. If the general consensus is that a specific perk is strong or weak, we will reflect that in our tier list. That way, it’s got a certain degree of objectivity.

We’ll wrap this section up by reminding you that tier lists are subjective by nature. Your experience may vary completely to ours, so take it with a pinch of salt.

When Do We Update Our Decaying Winter Perk Tier List?

You can expect to see an update to our Decaying Winter perk tier list whenever a new perk is introduced. It might take us a while to test the perk for ourselves though, so expect a brief delay.

We also update the list whenever a big balance patch hits, as this will throw the meta out the window. Again, there may be a brief delay as we experiment with the changes and update our rankings.
