Best Seven Deadly Sins characters

83 ELO points separate Meliodas (wrath) from Ban (greed) at the top of the Seven Deadly Sins ranking, after 5517 duels.

Meliodas (wrath) dominates with 1357 ELO points and a 66% win rate across 193 duels, establishing a 58-point lead over Ban (greed) in second place. Ban himself commands 1299 ELO points with a 62% win rate over 190 duels, demonstrating consistent strength but never quite matching the captain's appeal. The sharpest divide in the ranking appears between ranks 3 and 4, where Escanor (pride) holds an 83-point advantage over King (sloth). This gap signals a clear preference among voters for the top three sins over the rest of the lineup. Escanor sits at 1273 ELO points after 219 duels, while King registers 1190 points across 230 duels. At the bottom, Diane (envy) trails in seventh position with 1043 ELO points and a 32% win rate, while Gowther (lust) sits just above her at rank 6 with 1064 points. The basement of the ranking reveals that not all sins captivate fans equally: the charisma of wrath, greed and pride overshadows the appeal of envy and lust.

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.
