Best Spy x Family characters

100 ELO points separate Anya Forger from Loid Forger at the top of the Spy x Family ranking, after 2982 duels.

Anya Forger leads with 1580 ELO points, winning 76% of her duels, while mother Yor Forger sits at 1537 points in second place. The sharpest drop occurs between third and fourth: Loid Forger holds 1523 points, but Bond Forger trails at 1423, a 100-point gap that pushes the precognitive dog outside the family podium. Damian Desmond rounds out the top 5 at 1398 points after 358 duels. At the bottom, Donovan Desmond occupies last place with 835 points and a 27% win rate, suggesting the community reserves little affection for the shadowy antagonist. Ewen Egeberg and Emile Elman, Damian's lackeys, sit just above him in 17th and 18th.

This ranking draws from 2982 duels cast by 53 players across 19 contenders, updated on 11 October 2026. The Forger family dominates the top four spots, with only Damian breaking their stranglehold on the upper ranks. The data confirms what the series suggests: Anya's telepathic charm and comic timing resonate most strongly with fans, while Yor's lethal elegance and Loid's spy craft secure their own loyal followings.

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.
