Best Heroes in Age of Empires Mobile Tier List 2026 – Season 7 + Isabella I

Age of Empires Mobile is probably the most polished and complex city-building war game for mobile so far, with a lot more heroes than any other similar game had and free choice of skills that make the synergies complex and challenging. Also, you pair up 3 heroes together instead of 2, like many other games like Call of Dragons, Rise of Kingdoms, etc have shown before.

But this also will leave many players pretty confused at start what heroes make good commanders, what skills to choose and so on, right? Well, we played it from beta so we saw everything that happened to the game early on and want to help you with our tier list and our hero builds in Age of Empires Mobile!

Best Heroes in Age of Empires Mobile

Updated! Season 7 hero first impressions from the pioneer server is here + also first impressions on the new free legendary hero Isabella I

Alright, let’s get into the tier list. Please mind to also check out the Ranks, since some heroes need a certain Rank to be actually good and others don’t really need that! Also, makes sure to check the pairings guide to see which heroes go well together + our new mount guide to help you breed the mounts you need for your heroes here.

You get her for free in the Audience Event by logging in but there are quite some catches with her. Fiest, she will not synergize with any valuable swordsmen marches so archer is the way to go. She also needs actually to be 5-Star to really become good and then you actually have quite some options with her kit.

Could be such a savage but his limiting conditions about heroes signature skill types prevents the crazy combos to really take off (maybe for the better, looking at the bigger picture of the meta in Age of Empires Mobile), but that limits his overall power a bit. Still a good hero in Season 6, but they all are.

Build her as the amazing free legendary gathering hero you get her as and be happy is my recommendation here.

And the fact that she doesn't have to be the commander to do so makes her a ery interesting and strong pickup that I predict into the meta for a while and even later, you can use her to use her percentage-based kit on future might meta commanders and with her quite open synergy tags, she will be a worthy pickup.

If you don't run counterattackers, he is not that useful.

Tactician - yes she has some support buffing debuffing parts in her kit but she is, for me, after all a gathering hero. Here's where I come from with this... if you do build her as support hero and you really want to make her run as what she is, you have to also run her as commander and level her skills that are used for battle. Just to have a sfull support march around which makes this incredibly expensive and other heroes can get you there as well. Why not just invest a lot cheaper in her gathering and use her as gathering hero in Age of Empires Mobile? I am convinced that this is the way to go for most players.

Marshal - lives a lot by what you pair him up with and by himself doesn't do much but is able to make any pairing survive longer and that is sometimes worth a lot. Just a universally well-working hero overall but none that will shine on his own.

Marshal - she is one of the few heroes that have the gathering tree tag but honestly are no gathering heroes but great support heroes. The only bad thing is that without the gathering tag she could me so crazy much better synergies but her damage reduction against everything is really well in almost all cases, synergy or not.

Tactician - I am not a big fan of recommending gathering heroes because they have somewhat support to be built as support heroes. Diao Chan is an amazing gathering hero so why building her to be a somewhat okay-ish support hero? Use her for gathering and you will get a ton of bang for your buck! But don't invest any universal material into her!!.

Warrior - I am not the biggest fan of his kit since a significant part of his damage comes from amage-over-time and there are so many things that can go wrong there that will make him quite a mediocre hero on the battlefield.

Warrior - build ideally as gahtering hero since hsi damage kit is not working and while a hero like Cleopatra can do some support, he can't do damage and should focus on his gathering role (which is great, just don't spend money to invest in him and build him over time).

Warrior - his whole kit seems really random. Is he a supporter/enabler? DOes he scale, heal or deal damage? None really works well with him and even his damage reduction is only against pikeman which makes him barelyunasable as commander.

Tactician - is important later for one of the important gathering lineups. Other than that, not so much. But that already make him one of the few epic heroes that make sense building in Age of Empires Mobile.

Tactician - honestly, I saw sources recommend him paired with all types of heroes for the buff tag, but honestly his skillset is not working too well there. Where he is working well is with Cleopatra in the late game gathering team and this is what you actually would build him for..

Marshal - In general a nice support and recovery hero that you will, unless you are quite a spender in Age of Empires Mobile, probably use for a while until you build the legendary counterparts and then degrade him to be a gathering pairing. Just don't invest too much into him with that in mind and he has his uses..
