Warlord is not only borderline OP. Even without headbut vortex, he has more than enough tools, raw damage and life to obliterate you. S-tier.
PK is a powerhouse, if you can not block her light attacks. Once she starts spamming, you are done for. If you can put her on the defense, you have a small chance. S-tier
Nobushi. Versatile, dot damage everywhere, very fast and hard hitting attacks and highest range ingame. Add high mobility and the s-tier is booked.
Conqueror is a mixed bag. Borderline op with his vortex and if you master his counterattack, you are god. A-tier. Still, he relies too much on the vortex.
Orochi is almost s-tier, if the light spam is executed well. See PK
Shugoki ... fatty is broken. Too much damage, too much life and an unterruptable stance - he can outlive and outdamage most heroes. You rely on the shugoki to screw up to kill him. S-tier (lower end though)
Berserker is b-tier, if your block's are good. His heavies are very strong but easy to counter. Don't make him spam lights. Suffers from unreliable deflects.
Raider ... poor guy. He is c-tier in duelling situations. His heavies are brutal but slow. Even his lights are slow. If played opportunistic, he is ok but hardly a carry.
Lawbringer. Mixed bag. A-tier in group fights but d-tier in duels. He has some nice tools but his vortex is relatively slow. Relies too much on heavies.
Valkyrie. Strange character. In an 1on1 situation, she can slowly wear you down. Like a cat, who is playing with her pray. But she does not have high damage combos and ger ttk is low. Supporter in group situations. She is a/b-tier. (a for duels)
Kensai is ... strange. His light attacks are the highest damaging ones and they are fast. Even his heavy attacks are not slow. His unblockables however, are. If played with focus on light attacks and sidesteps, he is a-tier - lower end though.
Just my opinions.
