Shells Tier List | Mortal Shell 2

Shells Tier List for Early-to-Mid Game

Tier	Shells	Reason
	Tiel Proxima	Great abilities that can be used both defensively and offensively. Good against mobs while also remaining strong against most bosses.
	Gragu Eredrim	Heavy focus on break and stagger, great on maintaining control during overwhelming fights.
	Genessa Lazlo	Late-game Shells that are quite gimmicky, can be fun and effective but do not scale very well unless you find the perfect build for them.
	Sariel Smert	Aside from being late-game Shells, their kit also requires practice to be effective. Their abilities can do more harm than good when used improperly.

Tier	Shells	Reason
	Tiel Lazlo	Massive damage dealers with the correct build, given that you already have most of the important Tarstones. Lazlo's playstlye is a bit more risky but pays off really well with high damage potential.
	Proxima Sariel	Well-balanced, durable, and strong against most bosses. Sariel requires a bit of fine-tuning and practice but works well against both mobs and bosses.
	Smert Eredrim	Smert's risky playstyle is harder to pull off in NG+ since the enemies hit way harder. Eredrim's focus on break damage does not scale that well since higher raw weapon damage is much more effective in NG+.
	Gragu Genessa	Gragu's healing is not very effective in NG+ since most bosses can kill you in one hit anyway. Genessa's playstyle is decent but it lacks in damage and control when compared to the better Shells.
