Investing in your heroes in West Game II is so important for your long-term progress but there are some pitfalls that you have to know about or you can end up slowing your progress down by a lot – with every generation your server grows, new heroes will be added and investing in Exclusive Gear of a hero that becomes less useful might be a huge mistake.
For this reason, I have created a tier list below that helps you understand what heroes you’re aiming for to max out and which ones you will probably replace sooner or later in West Game 2.
The Best Heroes in West Game II
Before we get into the list, please undertand some fundamental things about heroes and servers in West Game 2. The age of your server determines what heroes are available to you, so you will see the heroes in the tier list below ordered by generations.
A rough overview of the generations is:
- 1st generation server are younger than 50 days
- Soon! 2nd generation server are older than 50 days rolling out on the earliest servers
To read the tier list below correctly, you have to check what heroes are available on your server and what generation your server is and then look at the section to see the correct ranking of the heroes. Amazing heroes on 1st generation servers in West Game 2 aren’t that great on 5th generation servers anymore and so on…
But that also means that it is hard to say “this is the best hero” or “build this hero” since newer heroes are typically stronger but you can’t just wait it out until they are available. For this reason our list below is sorted by the Generation a hero is released in but also showing how a hero performs in a later generation. So if you build a Generation 2 hero to see how many generations that hero will actually be viable in West Game II.
Please also check out our new main march guides for all generations here and also check here the guide for the new arena teams in West World 2 for the full picture and the synergies.
Builds Are Here! We finally finalized the builds for all heroes, giving you an ideal invest order for the skills and recommended gear for each hero so you can save more resources and progress faster in the game.
Generation 1
These heroes here are available right away when you start the game and will gradually be replaced by stronger heroes in following generations
Tier S+The VIP hero early on and will stay relevant but building him requires a high VIP level and invest so do not fall for the cheap pack with him offered, unlocking is not getting you that far with him and to get his shards to level him up will be a lot more expensive.
Tier S+Very solid at start and as you get her through the 7-day login event a hero you will use a lot on 1. Generation server but she has a versatile kit with the stuns and the damage buffing but will be replaced soon-ish since her stats will simply not scale enough with future-generations heroes in Kingshot.
Tier S+If you want to get her through the first purchase reward you will get a nice boost on the fresh server with her as she is good but keep in mind she will fall off in later generations so don't think get her, max her and be settled for good here.
Tier A+For on-map only useful as meat-shield tank and in Expedition you can use him for his damage reduction.
Tier A+Her damage and utility passive are useful longer than the very early game so building her will have enough usage for a while.
Tier B+Pretty cool effect actually. If you don't have too many legendaries and are F2P a good hero to actively use and if not, the passive research speed buff is amazing.
Tier B+Absolutely worth maxing for the training speed increase that will go a very long way with her.
Tier B+She is alright on-map but her main cause to Awaken and build her is for the long-term construction boosts of her Expedition skill.
Tier B+Alright but honestly he is nott oo useful for too long and you will replace him quite quickly so don't invest too much into him.
Tier B+Not really great on-map as her kit won't scale well and also not really in Expedition. Super early maybe, but that's it.
Tier BMore like the rare version of Big Bart in Expedition and on-map only for the passive gathering buff.
Tier BCan deal some damage early in Expedition but has only 2 skills and on map only usefull for gathering and income passives to build for.
Tier BHealing Ranger but when you would use her on-map as hero in West Game 2, you don't need her kit and when you actually need it she is simply not strong enough anymore.
Tier BNot really useful in Expedition as you have better heroes unlocked. At the end of the day only interesting for the Stone Mine passive skill.
Tier BIn Expedition even early you get randomly better heroes and his only interesting part is his Lumber Income passive skill overall.
Tier C+Conclusion
