Best Enola Holmes characters

193 ELO points separate Enola Holmes from Lord Tewkesbury at the top of the favorite Enola Holmes character ranking, after 612 duels.

The gap between the heroine and the young viscount is substantial, with Enola commanding 1536 points to Tewkesbury's 1343. Sherlock Holmes trails at 1296 points in third place, while his sister Eudoria Vernet Holmes follows at 1261. The detective's famous adaptability translates into audience affection: Enola wins 92% of her duels across 25 matchups. At the opposite end, Linthorn struggles at the bottom with only 881 points and a 15% win rate, suggesting the villain fails to charm voters even as an antagonist. Mycroft Holmes fares only slightly better at 1031 points, indicating that stern authority figures register less warmth than the franchise's rebellious spirits.

The ranking draws on 612 duels cast by 42 players across 8 contenders, updated on 12 October 2026. The tight cluster from Sherlock down to Edith in fifth place shows a competitive middle tier, where familiar faces from the Holmes family and new additions like the suffragette Edith vie for attention.

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.
