Investing in your heroes in Lordrush is really important and higher rarity doesn’t always mean better performance, espcially with different strength in Conquest or not. To give you a great overview how to handle your hero progression in Lordrush, we created this tier list here with experience in previous games from Century Games that will translate in less mistakes and faster progress for you.
FI 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 Lordrush.
The Best Heroes in Lordrush
Before we get into the list, please undertand some fundamental things about heroes and servers in Lordrush. 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 and Lordrush follows the same path as previous games by Century Games, Kingshot and Whiteout Survival.
A rough overview of the generations is:
- 1st generation server are younger than 40 days
- 2nd generation server are older than 40 days rolling out on the earliest servers soon
This means, new heroes become available to your server after about 5-6 Lucky Wheels (every 80 days) and that means that the newer heroes normally will change the roaster of heroes. 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 lordrush 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 Lordrush.
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 Lordrush for the full picture and the synergies.
Global Release! We have finalized CBT and are not finally global!
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 Lordrush.
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 Conquest only useful as meatshield tank and in Expedition you can use him for his damage reduction.
Tier A+Great damage in Conquest but except very early Expedition on early server he is not too viable. Still, compared to how easy you build him when looking over to Quinn, he is worth the effort early on.
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+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 healing speed buff is amazing.
Tier B+He is alright in Conquest but his main cause to Awaken and build him is for the long-term construction boosts of his Expedition skills.
Tier B+Fast march speed in Expedition to get away and alright in Conquest until you unlock the better legendary heroes in Lordrush. But Awaken her to get her Stamina Cost reduction from her passive skill.
Tier B+Not really great in Conquest 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 Bane in Conquest and in Expedition only for the passive Iron Mine income buff.
Tier BCan deal some damage early in Expolration but has only 2 skills and for Expedition only usefull for her Hunting Income buff that works passively.
Tier BHealing Cavalry but when you would use him in Conquest as rare hero in Lordrush, you don't need his kit and when you actually need it he is simply not strong enough anymore.
Tier BNot really useful in Conquest as you have better heroes unlocked but you can fill and his stun and area damage are not early on in the first days. At the end of the day only interesting for the Stone Mine income passive skill.
Tier BIn Expedition even early you get randomly better heroes and his only interesting part is his Logging Income passive skill overall.
Tier C+Nice passive solo hunting march speed but that's about it.
