@@Reckerless no
It's so sad they screwed over Green Knight alone for no reason, he was my favorite as a kid, but that also means I beat the game with the worst character so it's not all bad
@@WalkThrough_101 same I also beat it with green knight and even royal guard I love green knight
I beat it with Green Knight too, always loved his magic
i like my knight greeny bruh
Same here I recently started a play through again and have been using green knight and love him, no wonder I do no damage though… 😂
green knight isn't that bad. i'd say he's a little better than the arrow rainers bc of his magic.
I decided to search the name of one of my favorite games as a kid, only to find a character tier list uploaded 5 hours ago. Crazy
the community is still alive :)
@@Reckerless as the behemoths are still alive and do great stuff as always
This works with ads too try talking about dogs a lot or lawnmowers and you will start to get ads of them or even video recommendations it's insane
That's probably what happened to you
@@mrwahoo9708 That's not what happened, he just means that he googled Castle Crashers and got lucky
Thinking of turning Castle Crashers into a DnD campaign and I wanted to make classes based around every character you can play in the game. This kinda helped. Thank you!
that sounds awesome!!
Dude please tell me how is it going with that, it sounds absolutely awesome
Every character? Like, people with experience that where paid to do it only made 12, and they are not even that balanced. What about instead of making one for every character you don't first ask what your players would like to play as and then make only these? This way you only has to work on 3 to 6 classes instead of 20, from wich not even half would be used.
Are you going to use a known sistem or are you creating a new one for this???
Bro I just saw a meme of a DM introducing the campaign and he gets called out bc its the plot of castle clashers lmao
The problem I have with Red Knight is that he is very susceptible while using his magic. In a game where you really do not want to get hit, it makes him much more of a risk to play.
fair point!
I agree but most of the time if you just wait most enemies just run into your lightning and get trapped sometimes the hitbox even goes behind you so they can even punish you
red knight’s magic is often redundant because juggling exists!!!
If there’s an enemy outside ur splash ur not playing red knight right
i guess with bosses i gooogled and found on cnr against normal boses its good to one shot
Honestly, this is the most accurate tier list I've ever seen. There's not a single thing I disagree with. Everything is spot on. Great video!
thank you vinsanity :)
the king*
No
i feel like in multiplayer games with new players the king is good because he can heal teammates standing near him, so you can heal your weaker teammates between fights.
The thing is, potions are really cheap and easy to get.
King is unlocked after beating that giant bat on insane mode (at least 3 hours playthrough), and his healing is not even that good if you compare to the support the blue knight or the red knight give by just using their splash magic.
i love the sounds when he is gonna rank a character
asmr
I like the fact when i played this game with my brother we both picked the two best characters to start
I’m truly glad the blue knight is getting the recognition he deserves, he is very op and is a gateway to getting the fencer, literally one of the most busted characters in the entire game. He also happens to be my childhood hero, I remember getting on my Xbox 360 and straight up bully all of my friends with his magic lol
*WHERE ARE MY BLUE HOMIES AT!*
Blue Knight supremacy.
Here
True.
Here
Iceberg lettuce lesgo
Fun Fact about Gray Knight, although its not that relevant. You can actually use his arrow volley as a set-up to true combo's in pvp. Where if someone gets hit by the volley you then get a free unblockable bomb on them.
i never played castle crashers pvp so this is stuff i did not know
Not really a gameplay thing but I always loved playing Gray knight especially solo because it was super basass to pretend like you were a one man army seperated from his squad like in action films descecrating the front lines single handedley.
@@soke_s on my newest PC playthroughs he was the one I beat the game with first, for this exact reason
I really think the necromancer's heavy magic works well with both beefies and bosses, and he also has the strongest down-magic projectile
i can see him hovering c and b tier idk
@@Reckerless necromancer is S+ fight me
I mispronounced saracen.. My bad
I don't care, he's the most interesting character in the game.
He not only has the spinny magic, but also has a splash as his projectile :]
It’s pronounced succon
@@VentilationMachine i didnt get that but succon what?
Everyone does, don’t worry.
But for any future comments, it’s pronouced “Sair a sin” or “Sara sin”
I'm more confused why you put the peasant in S tier at first but then it's in F tier later
I love green knight
same
You dropped this 👑
yeah it’s a pretty good movie
I love gr een knight too 👍
Green gang forever
Hey! Great videos, keep up the good work. I used to play castle crashers when I was little, but you brought me back into it.
thats great to hear! i hope you are enjoying it :)
Tip for your challenge runs
Please when you are knocked to the ground, just press A repeatedly and your character will instantly recover jumping up.
It is especially handy in the alien spaceship, since when you get up you cannot be knocked off again until touching the ground, so the steam/smoke cannot stall you for much longer than 5 seconds
Pretty sure you just can hold A
i always forget to do this lol
Great video and amazing editing skill!
Putting Freddy Fazzbear on the Bear made my day 😂
its freddy fazbear!
Another banger. Incredible editing. I have some thoughts for the sake of discussion
The Saracen's tornado only does half the dps as the bear's as it hits slower. I think he's even worse than where you put it.
Also, I think you are Slightly underating bomb magic. It's insane for crowd control. They (besides grey) belong in high B or even low A imo.
Hatty has so much delay on his splash magic. It makes it almost a guessing game to hit faster bosses. While it doesn't ruin him, I think A is a little too high.
I didn't realize how useful the blacksmiths jump magic could be. That's really cool.
I also didn't know how well vine magic could shred. Might do a snakey playthrough
Also, peasant supremacy 💪
all valid points, no complaints here
Wow. Amazing castle crashers video! The editing, placements, funny clips. Awesome stuff dude. This is also one of my the best tier lists I’ve seen, as many others have placements that don’t make much sense to me. It still surprises me that some people will not have red knight in S tier when he’s amazing in like every situation. Also, the fact that some people think green knight isn’t the worst character is also crazy. Keep it up bro👍
Agree with pretty much everything here
great video as always! i was waiting for this one. actually might inspire me to make my own unrelated teir list for a video. i also noticed my name at the end! thanks for that :P
You should make one!
The necromancer’s Ariel splash magic can actually run on the ground, and doesn’t explode immediately with contact on the floor. Move him up because I’m in denial!
with that point, i can see him being a b tier
fr necromancer is the best AND coolest character in the game
The Alien and blacksmith where always my favorite characters to play as.
i love them both too
oh so you’re me
Green Knight is the definition unnecessary aura farming. We love him.
Exactly. It’s for *skilled* players
Wooh!!! Weve been waiting for this banger! (I love blue knight btw.)
w opinion
2:12, eventually the Necromancer stopped thinking.
Jokes aside I really like your videos, also you should do a tier list on the most annoying enemies in this game!
Also God DAMN is your editing great.
thank you so much! i have more tier lists planned for the future :)
Damn, the necromancer died in a kars accident
You know what if all my years of grinding this game I can completely see where your coming from on this I 100% agree thanks for still uploading on this game
I just know that this is gonna be a good tier list
was it?
Yes it was
with everyone playing meta characters like industrialist/fencer and shitting on hatty, the fact that you put him in A tier opened my eyes and now i love playing as him, thank you.
Every single character: “Check out how unique I am, haha NOT YOU! Green Knight!”
*Ride of the Valkyries intensifies*
Characters: “What’s that sound?”
Hatty Hattington: *“LUFTWAFFEGOLDENWHALESCUBADIVERPANZERBOMBERS”*
fun fact: most characters in the game can do their throwable magic twice in the air if you spam magic + item right as you jump, but the alien is the only character who can't do this to my knowledge
Really good editing on this video, keep up the great work 😁
common carto w
I’ve loved this game since I was a kid but this tier list made me realize how little I really know
there is a lot to this game that people didnt realise tbf
@@Reckerless yeah dude I didn’t know it was that complex, but that just adds a new layer to the game that makes it feel more fun to play now.
its amazing to see someone make videos about the first ever video game I bought for ps3! ur videos rock
one of the best games to be your first ps3 games! thank you for the support :)
The king worked out well for my group’s insane mode play through. We were all bad, so we needed lots of healing. After clearing a screen of enemies, we would full heal using the kings magic, which took forever 😂
Great video! Thanks for the fun content :)
Awesome video! Love the in-depth review of most characters
thank you! the characters i didnt go in depth on all the characters because they would have the exact same magic as someone i already talked about
I want to defend necromancer a bit here, specifically in regards to his magic. What is very nice about him is that his projectile magic has unlimited range no matter the level at which they are at which is quite handy in the early game.
I don't think its enough for S tier but I think A would be reasonable
thats a good point, i still would keep him in C tier as i cannot see him being the same tier as brute or fire demon
@@Reckerless But here me out....... exploding skeletons, that pretty cool right?
if it was ranked on the looks of the character and magic, necromancer would be s tier :)@@JasperLane
so happy about the influx of cc videos on youtube recently
i love them too!
A wave of nostalgia just sniped me in the back oh my god I loved playing this game with my siblings
While I understand his placement, i really like Green Knight because playing him is a test of skill. Its also a really quick way to realize i suck at the game.
I think Hatty should be b tier only because the fact his primary magic only really becomes good when it’s super upgraded
all of the characters were reviewed with full magic
@@Reckerless ah okay then I agree with the placement. My bad
8:44 that sound 💀
I need to know where it come from 😭
@@almakhestiait's actually from Castle Crashers itself. It's the sound that the catfish boss makes when you defeat it.
@@Superstud2007I’m aware
bro lets go i always wanted to see this for recker (also w blacksmith opinion)
i love blacksmith
@@Reckerless im a blacksmith main and i just started insane mode
@@Reckerlesswhy did you put peasant in f tier after you said it was s tier?
In my 10+ years of playing Castle Crashers, I've never heard anyone call the Brute well "Brute." On Xbox Live, his name was clearly stated to be the Forest Green Knight when you view your friends list as someone is playing with him, which is why he uses vines and acorns. Definitely a better fitting name, as he isn't a Brute in the slightest but seems pretty in tune with nature.
i never knew this
Your comment just reminded my of the 360 days and how it used to show what game mode people were playing too, whereas now it's just "game title".
They should rename him to "Nuts Knight"
Im pretty sure the reason hes called the brute is because the enemy version is only ever seen beefy.
green knight has been my main since ps3 days and i played him so much i never realised his backflip was exclusive
I love green knight because hes green and a warrior that can do a backflip epic🤩
This is by far the best most accurate Tier list for castle crashers I’ve ever seen.👍👍
Red Knight gang woooo lol thanks for the tier list video! Validates my choice of Knight
red knight = best character
Doesn't necromancer have a unique aerial throwable too? In which if he fires his skeleton downwards, rather than stopping on impact, the skeleton just keeps running after impact with the ground.
Heyyyy.... Howd the peasant end up in F tier by the end? What fiend removed him from his rightful place at the top of S!?!?
Ayyyyy it’s my favorite CC TH-camr, possibly the only one.
Do the castle Crashers fist only challenge or I will literally make a TH-cam channel and do it myself.
what is the fist only challenge?
That yes king scared me
the editing was great in this video and was definitely worth the wait
also yeah u better rank fencer as s tier smh..
of course he is s tier :)
My friend gave me a mod which replaced green knights backflip with the spinny thing and he was actually really good
absolute W tear list. S tier characters are so real bro
Barbarian really said "RANDOM BULLSHIT GO" with his splash magic
0:53 I’m done here
When my older brother's friends were playing Castle Crashers, he gave me an option what character to take. Then, I said 'I want to be green one!'. He was kind of undewhelmed of my choice and said 'It's crap.'. The funny thing is, that I said the word 'crap' for a very long time.
Still accurate since 2016
11:38 I just love this part
The brute throws acorns because cardinals eat acorns so he’s always carrying around snacks for his buddy that we savagely took from him
im so sad of green knight bc he is so good looking on his art like...
dont you talk about my boy green knight like that
i did :(
I played with exclusively the green knight as a kid. No wonder I'm so good at juggling now, since I was playing with a handicap
beautiful list
thank you :)
@@Reckerless no problem :)
“Welcome to the Salty Spittoon, how tough are ya?”
“How tough am I? How tough am I?! I beat Castle Crashers on Insane Mode!”
“Yeah, so?”
“I main Green Knight.”
“Uhhh, right this way! Sorry to keep you waiting.”
hahaha
Would have put Alien in A Tier, and Bear and Saracen in S tier. Also out orange knight in A tier
Some helpful reviews here. I’m a newbie to the game, so I’m wondering if you have a video that covers the characters you skipped?
All the playable characters in the game are in this video
@@McPoshuaright, but the person reviewing doesn't fully review or give the same degree of thoroughness to all the characters, namely those that they don't seem to like as much. I've since found some articles and threads elsewhere that give more of a balanced look at each character but haven't yet found a video similar to this one.
Never knew I needed this
it's here :)
Fun Fact: the blacksmith's splash magic instantly kills bees, nothing else
Yesssssssssss hatty got a good ranking
definitely underrated
Blue knight will always be the goat in my heart
I only played the green knight as a kid lmao, I remember getting to level 70 and steamrolling everything with my friends on the 360
I really wish some of these characters had more unique movesets. Like come on man some of these are literally just slight variations of the generic magic attacks.
Blue knight is the best. In addition to being broken, it unlocks the industrialist and fencer
Oh hey, I just reilized, I've watched this video a lot of times, but I just reillized that it came out on my birthday!
Happy that the most replayed part was what I tried to replay
I did my first playthrough on the 360 with green knight just because I like green, imagine my surprise when seeing the memes and tier lists 10 years later
5:34 Yes King! 😫
yes king!!
I’m glad to have a university classmate who ask me to play this game with him four years ago, what a great game.❤
12:10 It means a lot to see my name credited at the end of a video. Thank you!
you are a channel member :)
3:24 good to see my favorite Grey boi not get thrown immediately in F
You also have to recognize that the brute has a 60% melee resistance! In my opinion, he has to be the best character for defensive playstyles. Which I excel in. He is a great character and my main.
6:27 BRO THIS GOT ME DEAD LMFAOO
I love fencer and industriallist
I will never stop playing Red Knight
everyone's tier list portrait: *zoomed in to the face/eyes*
hatty: *H A T*
Finally unlocked the necromancer so now I can start completing the game with the characters I currently have to unlock the new ones 😂
Finally unlocked the bear now I have to unlock the bee keeper snakey stove face sarkan and the servilian
When talking about the Pink Knight's magic you reminded me about how i killed the necromancer when playing as them. With magic so basically
✌🏽 💥💀💥
The other characters: we have cool magic powers
Brute: A C O R N
i just did my first playthrough as green knight lmao had no idea ppl didn’t like him
i love the hatty guy always played as him while playing
8:23 and yet, being the bane of your existence you still like him, why? I will never know
i respect him, he always humbles me
Isn't the civilian literally just the peasant minus the hat?
ive been a thief main all my life, so for some reason seeing him in F was surprising lol
The kings intro caught me off guard so hard
I just watched the video and this is already really good editing and humor, probably your best video yet
thank you spamman! i always aim to improve
I main the gray knight because he's just really satisfying to play as and because I feel bad for the endless gray knights that die in the game.
Hatty also starts at level 2, plus you forgot to mention that some characters start with swords identical to the ones that their NPC counter part uses. Because of this some swords are a level 20 requirement that you can use early and still get their buffs
I WAS PLAYING WITH A HANDICAP THE WHOLE TIME?! I still look more badass when juggling tho
Fun thing is that the first time I've ever beaten the game was with a green knight 😅
same lol
