My thoughts on Characters - Tier 2 Carries
Ridika:
Primary role - Carry
Secondary role - Carry
Ridika excels at singling out enemy squishies and murdering them. she can fly in and drop Blind Love on as many enemies as possible before getting tunnel vision on their squishiest target. Her RR ability is also extremely good for AoE crowd control and damage. Her highly mobile fighting style can keep her relatively safe in the middle of a brawl. using shift L to do a hovering air attack just like you would with ♥♥♥♥ or Gaspar is a good way to keep up pressure on your enemy until you see an opening.
Difficulty: 4/5
Counters: Renoah, Renny Flame, Renny Glacier, Sewon
She can kill any squishy in 1 or 2 combos.
Gets countered by: Dan Mei, Tiac, Gaspar, Hyde, Elrath, Elika
Even though Elrath is a squishy, her spellshield will protect all her allies from Blind Love which will make it relatively easy to just focus down Ridika. Elika is also a squishy but she can easily stay at a safe distance from Ridika while poking her down. The others are tankier and have enough damage that Ridika will have difficulty bringing them down before they kill her.

Renoah:
Primary role - Carry
Secondary role - Carry
Renoah is the queen of long range. A Renoah that lands her R's must be chased down and dealt with or she will kill your team one by one. The person chasing Renoah must have very high mobility or Renoah will lead them on a wild goose chase and use her RP on instant snipes at opportune moments to take out her pursuer. Renoah is very squishy and has low base movement speed however so the Renoah player must have good positioning and must be able to juke using the map rather than just trying to outrun her opponent. Renoah R's are very difficult to hit in a brawl because they do not go through allies.
Difficulty: 5/5
Counters: Elrath, Elika, Gaspar, ♥♥♥♥, Sewon, Cezzane
she can win a long range duel with Elrath and she can kite all the rest listed.
Gets countered by: Renny Glacier, Dan Mei, Renny Flame, Ridika
An iced Renoah is a dead Renoah. A chained Renoah is a dead Renoah. The others listed have high enough mobility to catch her and kill her.

Hyde:
Primary role - Carry
Secondary role - Carry
Hyde is essentially Gaspar with less mobility but better brawling capabilities. He falls in the middle as far as tankiness goes, he has good melee damage output and decent ranged damage output. Hyde can hop around a fight and choose to L or R in the air depending on how close his current target is to him. This keeps him relatively safe while putting out constant damage. Where as Hyde can do this indefinitely, Gaspar must take time to reload which means he must choose to leave himself vulnerable for a few seconds in the hopes of renewing his ranged damage or focus solely on melee attacks which is also risky. Hyde can use his stealth and mine field to kite and avoid pursuers as needed.
Difficulty: 3/5
This list was originally made before this character existed and I haven't really seen many really good players use him so I'm going to put a hold on trying to identify his counterplay.


Now that I think about it, Hyde and Gaspar should switch places on my list.
I feel kind of derpy for saying this now, but it is what it is.

I also think renoah can counter and be countered by another renoah since for instance that knockback from hitting them could be life or death since you could have a teammate jump on them while they are unable to block characters that would really be helpful to that would be hyde just come from no where and be like HELLO and even if they get time to dodge or block that still leaves them vulnerable to either the hyde or the renoah which if the team has a class that its primary role or secondary role is guarding the sniper the hyde might have to do hit and run. Sorry if this is the only character i am talking about D: since this is like the only character I play I cant really give any ideas for the other ones.

It's good you brought that up... I forgot to mention I was thinking this would be Draft Pick team play where no duplicate characters happen even across team lines. But in general, yes I would agree. A lot of people probably would counter themselves and definitely Renoah would.
Another good point you brought up is the whole protecting the sniper thing. I would totally make sure my team had a support character who gets Renoah baby-sitting duty. Teamwork is OP.

Yes! I've made so many posts, well, more like 3, on the formus about how strong a well defended Renoah would be. Very strong. I would place her in tier 1, actualy, assuming good teamwork. In a solo game, much much lower, or 1v1's.
