Best Hazbin Hotel theories

Roo is Eve leads the Hazbin Hotel ranking with 1394 ELO points over 362 duels, ahead of Roo is the main villain of the story and Eve is planning revenge.

A sharp 73 ELO points separate the top two theories: Roo is the main villain of the story trails Roo is Eve at 1364 points, while Eve is planning revenge sits further back at 1291. The podium reflects a fascination with Roo's identity and Eve's role in the show's mythology. Fourth place goes to the theory that Alastor wants to make a deal with a member of the royal family to gain power, scoring 1270 points with a 62% win rate across 333 duels. At the bottom, the ranking shows skepticism toward theories involving secondary deals: Carmilla made a deal with Roo to avoid a war ranks last at 1080 points, suggesting the community favors grand narrative reveals over transactional plotting.

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.
