I watched this whole thing thinking it’d be a normal tier list… you know, builds, DPS, meta talk. Nope. Instead, what we got is probably the most unhinged—but weirdly insightful—community tier list for Torchlight: Infinite Season 12.
And honestly? After going through it properly, there is a pattern behind all the chaos.
This guide breaks it down in a way that actually makes sense—what each tier means, why certain characters landed where they did, and what it quietly tells you about player preferences this season.
Torchlight Infinite Season 12 Tier List (Lunaria UPDATED)
Before jumping into rankings, you need to understand one thing: this is not a power tier list.
It’s based on:
- Visual design
- Character vibe
- Personality/appeal
- Community bias (very important)
Think of it like a popularity + aesthetic tier list, not meta strength.
Here’s how the tiers function:
- Omega Smash → Top-tier favorites, no debate
- Smash → Strong approval, widely liked
- Pass → Majority rejection
- PETA Tier → Creatures/animals = instant no
- Chat’s Picks → Streamer said no, chat forced yes
- Special Tiers → Meme categories (you’ll see why)
Omega Smash Tier
These are the characters that didn’t need discussion. The moment they showed up, chat already knew.
- Azure Gunslinger
- Sprite of Silent Veil
- Rosa (especially Rosa 2)
- Thea (new model boosted her hard)
- Sage
- New Pack Spirit (literally got its own “Galaxy Tier”)
What’s interesting here is consistency. These characters all share:
- Clean design
- Strong personality presence
- Instantly recognizable aesthetic
No awkward gimmicks, no weird proportions—just solid character design that clicks immediately.
Smash Tier
Now this is where things get a bit more mixed.
- Firewing (angel-type character)
- Anthem
- Eternity Summoner / Preserver
- Intern Shelly
- Jester (barely made it after a tie)
These characters got a lot of support, but also pushback.
Usually the reason? One small flaw:
- Outfit feels off
- Design is slightly overdone
- Or just not as “clean” as Omega tier picks
Still strong overall—but not universally loved.
Pass Tier
Let’s be honest… most of the roster landed here.
Some key ones:
- Bonnie
- Starcatcher
- Red Umbrella
- Knight of Pale Blue
- Mechanical Throne
- Ice Puppet
- Captain Shadow
The pattern here is super clear once you notice it:
Players don’t like overly mechanical or overly covered designs.
Anything that:
- Hides the character too much
- Feels generic
- Looks “cold” or lifeless
…gets passed almost instantly.
Armor-heavy characters especially suffered here.
PETA Tier
This tier is exactly what it sounds like.
If it looks like:
- An animal
- A creature
- Or something too non-human
It’s going here.
Examples include:
- Captain Kitty
- Various beast-type pets
- Hybrid creatures
Even when chat tried to argue for some of these… the majority usually shut it down.
Chat’s Picks
This is easily the most entertaining part of the list.
These are characters the streamer rejected—but chat refused to let go.
- Kong
- Moto (both versions)
- Anubis
- Antelope of Lust
- Iron Lion
- Abyssal King Soul
There’s no clean logic here. This is pure community chaos.
But if you look closely, one trend stands out:
- Bigger, more dominant designs
- Unique or “wild” aesthetics
- Characters that stand out—even if they’re weird
Basically, chat values bold design over safe design.
If you’re playing Season 12 and wondering what characters people gravitate toward, this list actually gives you a surprising amount of insight.
- Want something popular? → Go Omega Smash tier
- Want something different? → Look at Chat’s Picks
- Want to avoid disappointment? → Stay away from overly mechanical designs
And if you’re someone who enjoys community-driven opinions…
This is honestly one of the most fun ways to understand what players actually like right now.
