1. Ragnarok
Topping our list of best God of War Ragnarok characters is the almighty Ragnarok. Ragnarok is an in-game GoW character that can display feats of strength. He is known for dealing with gods in the franchise that are deemed unkillable. It is important for every GoW gamer to note that Ragnarok is a culmination of his wife’s heart, fire from the Blades of Chaos and Surtr.

With all these put together, it will not be wrong to assert that Ragnarok is the best GoW in-game character.
2. Kratos
The second best GoW character that we will be reviewing in this listicle is Kratos. According to the GoW game plot, Kratos is one of the oldest in-game characters. As gods get older, it is assumed that they get stronger. Kratos in this regard can be seen as a very strong god because he was much older than his time in Ancient Greece.

He has the capacity to take on giants, gods and other sorts of gigantic structures around him.
3. Thor
This listicle about the 10 best God of War Ragnarok characters will not be complete without talking about Thor. Thor according to the GoW game plot sees himself as someone that wants to fight with Kratos (the Ghost of Sparta) at the peak of his rage. Thor makes the third place in this listicle because he was strong enough to wipe out all the giants from Jottanheim, and was able to ravish the nine realms with his Mjolnir.
4. Freya
The first female Character we will be ranking in this best GoW Ragnarok character is Freya. She is the Vanir goddess and an enemy of Kratos and Atreus. Her motivation for her murder sprees is the death of her son which she wants to revenge.

Freya is one of the god characters in the game that has good one-on-one combat prowess. Her prowess in combat is due to the fact that she was the former Queen of the Valkyries. The Valkyries according to Norse Mythology are seen as very great warriors. Her best weapons include a bow and a sword.

This character in GoW has the capacity to see and predict everything that happens and can perceive the thought of those he is in the room with. This knowledge is his greatest strength and places him in the 5th place of our listicle. The power of Heimdall is best used in gossip, and deploying tactical advantage in battle. Because Heimdall can see anything before it happens, no one can land a punch on Heimdall. It is important to note that one of the greatest threats that Kratos and Atreus face in their journey to the nine realms is Heimdall.
