Best Character Guide

Bleeding Edge is a 4x4 team brawler, all the characters are basically as strong as each other so trying to play the game as a single player and going up against a team of four players alone will likely result in you dying. Therefore the best strategy is to stay as a team who works together using the voice-coms to communicate so you are a coorinated team. The only time you should be separating from your team is when an objective appears where you have no alternative to split up in order to complete it. Check out our Best Characters guide to get help choosing a character to play.

Best Damage Character - Daemon

Daemon is a melee assassin and leader of the Bleeding Edge gang. He is a strong 1v1 fighter capable of holding his own against Support and fellow Damage type characters. Daemon has one of the strongest supers (Shadow Strike) available, it allows him to hit a giant area of fighters all at once for several seconds, and remain completely invincible in the process. His downside is that he has relatively low health which means for him to be effective he needs to get in and out of battles quickly, dealing heavy damage with his 4-hit melee combo before falling back.

He is strong in 1v1 fights and has an area-of-effect heal (Sacred Ground) that hits your whole team and damages enemies at the same time.
