I take a look at all skills and rank them from best to worst in my Hooked Tier List. A lot of it comes down to play style preference, though there are plenty that are universally strong, no matter how you play Hooked.

A new game is on the horizon, and its name is Everwind. We’ve got a full breakdown on when to expect its release.

Hooked Tier List

The skills you prefer depend on your play style. If you’re looking for a more supportive build, you’ll want a skill that replenishes HP, like Heal and Golden Stance.

However, if you like being on the offensive, there are a variety of skills to power up your build.

How to Get Skills in Hooked

You can get skills by opening Skill Crates. These crates are obtainable via the Wheel Spin feature and by purchasing them.

Keep in mind the Wheel Spin does not guarantee a Skill Crate every time, as there are other items in the reward pool. You obtain spins every 10 minutes you spend in a match.

How to Get Skill Crates

Purchasing is by far the easiest way to get Skill Crates. I recommend using your in-game Gold to buy the normal Skill Crate, which costs 1.5K. There is a premium version of the crate that costs 250 Robux.

Whilst you passively accumulate Gold by playing Hooked, my best advice is to keep an eye out for gift codes, as they can sometimes grant you extra Gold.

The premium crates do offer a higher chance of rare skills dropping, but in my opinion, the regular crates are worth stocking up on instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Highest Rarity in Hooked?

The rarity of a skill goes up to Epic at the moment, and the rarest skill out of all of them is currently Black Hole. The most common are Swiftstep, Ink Bomb, Dash, Heal, and Wall. Despite being a common rarity skill, Heal is one of the best to obtain in Hooked.
