Mortal Shell II Class Tier List (2026)
Last updated: 2026-08-18
Every confirmed Shell going into launch, ranked from open-beta testing and official ability reveals. Expect movement in week one — this table is re-checked against the live game.
S Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
| Proxima, the Broodseeker | Aggressive control | Biosampler hook pulls enemies (or you) into range with a Lightning follow-up; Grafted Armor gives a base 15% chance to mitigate damage at 50% reduction without stagger. |
A Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
| Tiel, the Acolyte | Mobility | Claimed near the Ritual Grounds south of Mushroom Village in the beta. The nimble option of the confirmed cast. |
| Eredrim, the Venerable | Tank | Returning MS1 heavyweight. Slow, massive health pool — the safest first clear if you prefer trading hits. |
B Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
| Harros, the Vassal | Balanced starter | Your first Shell, found past Forlorn Village (the 'My First...' achievement). Even stats, no standout hook — outclassed once alternatives unlock. |
