Our Lurking Giants tier list ranks all Giants by chase pressure, map performance, and survivor difficulty. Only 2 Giants are currently playable, but the VERITY rework promises new additions that will shift the meta.
Guilt
SBest on City
Chase Pressure
Extreme — wide hitbox and Haunt ability make escape nearly impossible in corridors
Survivor Difficulty
Very Hard — survivors need vertical escapes and open space to survive
Why S Tier
Dominates City hallways. Haunt tracks relocating survivors. Highest kill rate per round.
Counter Strategy
Spread out after pulses. Stay on rooftops. Never group in tight spaces where Q covers the whole area.
Locust
BBest on Forest
Chase Pressure
Moderate — good sprint in open terrain but limited hitbox and vertical reach
Survivor Difficulty
Moderate — survivors can outrun in straight lines or escape vertically
Why B Tier
Balanced but outclassed by Guilt. Free Giant with predictable patterns. Best on Forest's open layout.
Counter Strategy
Use rooftops and tight corners. Circle bush clusters to break line of sight during chases.
Core Mechanics
Only 2 playable Giants currently. Guilt (S) dominates City with vertical chases. Locust (B) is balanced on Forest with open terrain pursuit.
Advantages
Tier rankings help players decide which Giant to unlock first and which map strategies to prepare for.
Challenges
With only 2 playable Giants, tier comparisons are limited. The tier list will change significantly when new Giants release.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Locust only B tier?
Locust has moderate chase pressure compared to Guilt's extreme pressure. It lacks vertical pursuit capability and its open terrain advantage is map-dependent.
Will the tier list change after the rework?
Yes, significantly. New Giants will add competition, and reworked mechanics may change how existing Giants perform.
Which map is best for each Giant?
Guilt dominates City with vertical chases through stairways and rooftops. Locust performs best on Forest where open terrain and geyser fields favor direct pursuit.
