might've been nostalgia biased on the last one, so i created a new one and gave each and every bosses a fair chancetierlist (4).png

this time i will explain why i think some bosses are on each tier (tho idk if it will be better since tds fans cannot comprehend the word "opinion")

side note: for those that said because void reaver canonically has the power to slime out reality or smth, powerscaling =/= aurafarm. take DBZ piccolo for example, he's not top 5 in verse and get beaten up quite frequently, still didnt stop him from being a top tier aurafarmer. i will be taking design, abilities, mechanics and other stuffs that isn't powerscaling related into account. anyways, lets get started

"negative aura" tier: brute broke into the base and got slimed out by a rookie in training, corrupted titus got slapped by narrator and the act 3 hands were scrapped

the tier above "negative aura": they mostly have 0 aura since they didn't even want to aurafarm in the first place and only did what they're meant to do asides from jack o' bot. but because it doesn't have anything else to show it's in average tier

"tried" tier: these bosses TRIED to aurafarm but it doesn't give them that much aura. this includes digger/graver casually summoning lightning while summoning enemies, molten warlord summoning fireballs from the sky, raider boss able to kill towers but asides from that nothing else, etc. (if pizza is reading this, WOX DOESNT HAVE AURA, bros think hes Withered Foxy)

"aura" tier: some of these makes sense and some don't so i'll be explain on the ones that don't. gunslinger's aura is heavily carried by his magnificent fit, lord sinister casually laughs while moving like a swagger through those bullets give him aura and legacy fallen king has his sword spin and a cape which gives him bonus points cuz he capefarm. reason why rift walker and void reaver arent higher because they only have 1 move that gives them immense aura, then they lost some aura afterward (void reaver tripping his leg and rift walker getting his skeleton crushed by narrator). umbra is also here because her rage mode lets her emits aura (this will be a thing for other bosses later).

"aurafarm for a living": despite being an actual fraud, fallen swordmaster displays sick sword spin and summons spike, he literally does this until he dies. NFK is just premium LFK. void swordmaster is an actual aurafarmer, all of his moves tell me aura. okay, null guardian is up here because same as umbra, he literally emits aura when half hp, only higher because he can summon comets and clones while umbra only has like 2 bow abilities. narrator surprisingly has a good track record of aurafarming, he appears in halloween 2020 as a mysterious character, he effortlessly slapped corrupt titus and crushed rift walker's skeleton and his ult in narratorium does have aura. krampus can effortlessly summon snowstorms and falling glaciers and he's the ONLY boss to have a rage mode theme, also he lowk has drip. you all know fk is up here, 3 sword slashes is unnecessary as hell but he did it for aura points, can summon falling crystal (somehow) and ascends to heaven when he dies, also he has a cape (+capefarming point). okay, this might seem controversial, but primordial drako actually has insane aura. upon reaching half hp, it literally covers the entire map with aura, yeah it really did that.

S tier: the most obvious aurafarmer, awakened fallen king. he's literally 2 top aurafarmers (drako and normal fk) doing a fusion dance. having the immense aura of drako while still having the sick moves and cape from normal fallen king.

anyway thats my tierlist (cant wait to be killed cuz i didnt include toilet boss and felipe)

    Void Swordmaster should be alongside with Awakened Fallen King.

    Void Reaver over here catching a stray for tripping after having his body weakened from the bullets, while Fallen Swordmaster and Legacy Fallen King over here tripped on a banana peel and go on scott free.

      i can give legacy enemies a pass for that death anim since that was extremely common and devs didnt think of anything else, meanwhile this guy got reworked and his death anim went from aura to fell on his face and tripped his balls

        His death animation is actually like that now because it means his death isn't permanent and implies he may come back.


        Other than that, just because the Legacy enemies are old, doesn't mean that their aura doesn't tank because of being primitive.

          but asides from that one ultimate sword attack, void reaver literally doesn't have anything else to show off, his other moves are just normal and doesn't have aura

            Same goes for most bosses... There's barely any bosses that warp and distort the reality around them that isn't Rift Walker and Narrator.

              desc literally said powerscaling =/= aurafarm, just because they can warp reality, idrc, just as long it looks cool then it gets a point

                Don't forget that Void Reaver falls to the ground like a piece of meat, while Fallen King has aura animation.

                  Because all Void enemies turn directly into still statues upon death or when unused by the Void Caster, whereas Fallen King is assumed to either escape or is free from the life he was cursed with.

                  It's like you've never watched Voidcore before.

                But doesn't warping around the dimensions itself look cool?

                The animations are what makes something feel more alive.

                  Yeah, that's cool. Though i don't understand how such a strong enemy dies to a bunch of guns.

                    The answer is simply: "Do you like fun? Do you like playing this game?"

                  thats like only 1 ability, it cannot be that cool to the point its the best in the game. but it did hardcarried void reaver up to the "has aura" tier, without it void reaver would be "nearly 0 aura"

                    So we're just gonna pretend as if the original didn't just have similar moves prior to the rework? Or that Nuclear Fallen King has no notable abilities to even be considered?


                    For a guy who said it's all just opinions, you seem to pretty inconsiderate when it comes to other opinions...

                      "similar moves" legacy and current VR are like night and day, only similar moves are the rage mode and deathwish, also i said that nfk is premium lfk because he retains the aura from him whilst having a cooler design and sword slashes now spit out acid

                        Sword slash, summon (now by slashing), random spherical shaped stunning orbs or eyes, full map rage stun, full map stun, death wish...

                        Ah yes, what night and day those moves are...

    Get that Void Swordfraud out of that tier, and add Frost Spirit and Champion Templar to Fallen King tier. Also put Executioner at negative aura, bro is literally just a cash bag.

        Void Brute never was an aura farmer - he was just a boulder aggro guy with void titan.

      He looks stiff and ridiculous. He doesn't even wear the domino crown.

      Creator looks like an average american school nerd tbh.

    Void Swordmaster should be at least high on his tier.

          I really don't know why everyone puts items in the tier from left (best) to right (worst), since i just do a tier ithout left/right being better/worse.

    i’ll speak my nice lovely opinion then since we’re all insistent on them

    Rift Walker is right up there at the top. perhaps this is based on the boss fights themselves rather than as characters, but oh my goodness does he define aura. mogging the Children of EXO until the Fraudarrator (who does has aura i’ll give him that, especially the hands) denies it because his on-screen existence nerfs every other character is pretty damn awesome. and being possessed by Lord EXO multiplied that aura by two orders of magnitude.

    also, only one aura move? iirc, Ancient Anger, Lord EXO Attack and Dimensional Discharge are three aura-worthy abilities, and even then the others are cool as hell. and did i mention that the possessed Rift Walker is the prettiest, most powerful colour of them all, PURPLE????? and even when he isn’t possessed, he’s still an absolute aura unit, as discussed beforehand, since he soloed the Children of EXO effortlessly, with zero help.

      I vouch for this take.
