MM2 of The Locust tier list: what can be ranked
There is no supportable named ranking yet: no rankable roster, traits, formal roles, teams, or named equipment are public. This page shows what exists, what is missing, and what would unlock defensible ranks.

Current decision
RANKS HELDHold S/A/B placements until candidates exist.
The official premise establishes an escape game inside the Locust’s nest. It does not identify a character roster, trait system, team composition, or current equipment set that can be compared.
Confidence: high that named rankings are not supportable from the public record checked August 26, 2026.

Readiness ledger
Four candidate families, zero comparable sets
A broad family name is not enough. A tier list needs multiple named options and fields that matter to the real game loop.

Future ranking method
The five questions every placement must answer
Rarity alone will never be enough if the game later exposes roles, costs, modes, or synergy.
- 01
Who or what is being ranked?
Exact name, content family, availability, and current-build identity.
- 02
What problem does it solve?
Orientation, survival, pressure handling, utility, support, movement, or another documented job.
- 03
What does it cost or replace?
Unlock requirement, slot, limitation, and realistic substitute.
- 04
Where does it work?
Mode, map, group size, role, and any important constraint.
- 05
Why is the placement current?
Build date, public change, repeatable observation, and comparative reason.

Team handling
A best combo needs more than multiple players
No formal team size, role system, loadout slots, synergy rules, or group constraints are publicly documented. If those fields appear, team guidance will compare role coverage, slot pressure, coordination cost, and replacement risk—not simply stack the highest individual ranks.
Use the communication-aware run plannerLimitations:
The page cannot compare unnamed candidates or hidden mechanics. It gives a game-specific comparison framework, evaluates each plausible candidate family, explains the team-combo boundary, and defines the public events that will turn the hold into useful rankings.

FAQ
Ranking questions
What is the best character in MM2 of The Locust?
No named character roster or comparable player roles are publicly documented, so there is no honest best-character answer yet.
Why not publish placeholder S, A, and B tiers?
A tier list needs real candidates and game-specific comparison fields. Empty labels or invented candidates would look complete while giving players no defensible decision.
Can announced equipment powers be ranked?
Not yet. The public description names the future content family but does not publish item names, effects, availability, values, or release timing.
When will rankings be added?
After the exact experience exposes at least two comparable candidates plus mode, role, cost, synergy, and current-build context that can support a useful reason for each placement.
