Best Game of Thrones targaryens

84 ELO points separate Aegon Targaryen – Jon Snow from Daenerys Targaryen at the top of the Game of Thrones ranking, after 1011 duels.

The podium reflects a clear hierarchy among the Targaryen contenders. Aegon Targaryen – Jon Snow dominates with 1484 ELO points and a 76% win rate, establishing himself as the community's overwhelming favorite. Daenerys Targaryen follows at 1400 ELO with 68% of her duels won, while Aemon Targaryen rounds out the top 3 at 1251 ELO. The sharpest drop in the ranking appears between 4th and 5th place, where 190 ELO points separate Rhaegar Targaryen from Viserys Targaryen. At the bottom, Aerys II Targaryen languishes with just 904 ELO and a 22% win rate, suggesting the Mad King remains deeply unpopular even among fans ranking their favorite Targaryens. His last-place finish speaks to how the community weighs character actions and narrative arcs over pure bloodline prestige.

This ranking draws from 1011 duels cast by 111 players across 6 Targaryen contenders, updated on 11 October 2026. The sample size provides a solid snapshot of fan preferences within the House of the Dragon.

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.
