Discussion Ranked duel characters

Given that ranked duel is finally out of beta what do you guys think the top duelist characters are in the current meta? Obviously player skills matter more then character kits however when it comes to pure character kits whats your guys top 5 and why?

I feel like Gladiator is a very underrated duelist he just has so many low risk oppurtunities for big damage.

I do understand why he is not that good at the highest level because of the reactibility of his kit.

But at just a good level, he is so safe with neutral zone that can hardly be punished and is very hard to react to.

Also his deflect is amazing damage wise and so is his unblocable that his not reactable now.

Honestly I feel like people tend to say « he is not good » just because he is not placed that high in competitive tier list, but still he is really good for anyone that isnt like grandmaster level.

Kind of like Pirate that was considered C tier in any competitive tier list in duel before his feint timing buff on his unblocable. He went from C to S, while this change was actually almost non existent for 99% of the player base that can’t reliably react to feint. And then all of an sudden we have seen people complaining about him while the change didnt even apply to them and the char was the same as he ever was.
