Best astérix characters

Obelix leads the Asterix ranking with 1404 ELO points over 48 duels, ahead of Dogmatix and Asterix.

The podium reveals a tight race between Dogmatix and Asterix, both locked at 1387 ELO, with only rank position separating them. The sharpest divide in the ranking sits between Getafix at 1349 ELO and Impedimenta at 1224 ELO, a gap of 125 points that cleaves the upper tier from the rest. The bottom of the ranking reveals the community's lukewarm feelings toward supporting characters: Mrs. Fulliautomatix languishes at 936 ELO with a 24 percent win rate, while Bacteria sits just above at 951 ELO. These figures suggest voters gravitate toward the series' iconic leads and sidekicks, leaving tertiary figures in the dust.

After 1819 duels and 52 voters weighing in on 14 contenders, the ranking was updated on 12 October 2026. The outcome confirms that Obelix, the menhir-carrying glutton, edges out even the titular hero in fan affection. Whether you side with the sidekick or the star, you can cast your vote and reshape the order. Every duel shifts the ELO balance, so your choice matters in determining which indomitable Gaul reigns supreme.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
