Lurking Giants Giants Tier List

Community-informed tier list ranking Locust, Guilt, Verity, and upcoming giants in Lurking Giants.

This Lurking Giants giants tier list ranks playable and upcoming killers based on current mechanics, community performance, and map synergy. Rankings reflect the pre-rework build — ULTRA works is revamping Locust and Guilt, so tiers may shift. Use this as a snapshot guide, not permanent gospel.

S Tier — Guilt

Guilt (7,000 coins) earns top placement for three-star rating, superior height, and intimidation radius. Taller hitbox visualization helps new giant players connect attacks. Unlock path: Guilt guide. Details: Guilt item page.

A Tier — Locust

Locust is the default two-star giant — lanky, fast, biomechanical design with strong Forest performance. Free for all players. Biomechanical lore in Locust page. Ability reference: giant abilities.

B Tier — Upcoming Giants

Verity — planned rework addition from Minecraft horror inspiration. Expected high tier on release. Preview: Verity page. Doctor Nowhere — teased in shop UI, incomplete selection. Watch roadmap.

Map Synergy

Forest favors all giants — see maps tier list. City reduces giant efficiency equally but punishes Locust reach slightly less than Guilt on tight stairs. Giant strategy: giant guide.

Methodology

Tiers combine kill rate observations, pulse-window conversion, coin farming efficiency, and shop cost value. Survivor counters listed in survivor strategies tier list.
