Best Ninjago villains

Morro leads the Ninjago villain ranking with 1383 ELO points over 304 duels, ahead of Lord Garmadon and Overlord.

Morro edges out Lord Garmadon by 32 ELO points to claim the top spot, the sharpest gap in the entire ranking. Lord Garmadon himself holds off Overlord by 14 points for second place, while Overlord barely leads Omega by a single point at 1337 to 1336. Harumi rounds out the top 5 at 1316 ELO. The tight clustering at the top suggests a competitive field where fans remain divided on their favorite antagonist. At the bottom, Master Mammatus languishes at 963 ELO with a 27% win rate, trailing The Mechanic by 73 points. The gap between the top and bottom of the ranking spans 420 ELO points, revealing a clear hierarchy in how the community rates these villains.

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.
