Brotato features an interesting RPG roguelike top-down arena shooter where you take on the role of a potato character. While picking one of the best weapons in the game has a major effect on your success, having a powerful character is also crucial.

But since each character has its own pros and cons, it can be a challenge to decide on the right one. To help you out, we created this Brotato tier list, which ranks the best characters from the SS tier to the D tier.

The SS tier includes the best heroes in the game, and they are perfect for almost any situation. These characters have a great mix of speed, strength, and defensive capabilities, making them some of the best fighters in Brotato.
