Don’t Starve Togetherhas a wide roster of characters to choose from, with post-launch expansions increasing the total number of options.

The general gameplay allows you to pick characters you love, whether you’re playing solo or in a team. That said, some characters are simply better. Let’s take a look at how the characters shape up in 2025 (especially since we have had all the additions over the years).

In general, characters inDon’t Starve Togetherare pretty varied in their skill sets, and your preferences could be different from mine. There are very few characters who are excellent at playing solo and are pretty poor in a squad (and vice versa). To classify the characters, I have used four tiers.

If you’re using mods inDon’t Starve Together, you’ll have a lot more options to explore (and some of them can be too broken. Just something to keep in mind).
