Puzzles & Survival Best Heroes Tier List

Picking the right heroes is so important in Puzzles & Survivals for multiple reasons – one is that there are huge differences in the heroes and also their performance is volatile, some are great early and others become incredible strong when built when others fall off. And since building a hero is such a hustle, it can be a huge setback if you build a hero that is not worth it in the long run.

For that reason I have below the heroes ranked by their performance when they are built to show you which heroes are worth building and using in Puzzles & Survival.

What Are The Best Heroes in Puzzles & Survival?

Okay let’s dive into the tier list – please mind this ranking takes Arena and Ops performance into account for the maxed heroes, so please mind that there is a huge difference in how well heroes do when you get them compared to how they do when fully built. Some will get incredibly better and scale with stats while others fall off.
