With many different heroes available in SOULS, Habby has created a very interesting gacha roaster of heroes and you have a lot of tough decisions to make which heroes you will spend your time and resources on to develop.
I have created a tier list that I frequently update to show you which heroes are good all the time, which ones will be good toward the end-game, and which ones carry in the earlier stages of SOULS.
Update! Now you can find the individual hero builds for each hero here! Just use the ‘Show More’ button at each hero and then click the ‘Best Build’ button 🙂
What Are The Best Heroes in SOULS?
Alright, below you will find the full list that I frequently update that will show you which heroes are good and shich ones rather mediocre. Please mind, if you use the ‘Show More’ button you will see the individual rating based on the different Chapters as some heroes perform really strong early in SOULS and then fall off and some are rather lowballing at the beginning and pick up in later Chapters.

SolinaS+
Really strong in keeping your team alive and buffing. That alone is already putting her into one of the best kits in SOULS already, but with Awakening you even gain revive on top of that. In every stage and sitaution an amazing hero that will work will all team setups.Race: LightChapter 1-10: SChapter 10-18: S+Chapter 18-25: S+Chapter 25-30: S+Chapter 30+: S+Best BuildLuluS+
Amazing energy battery for your team and also nice healing and shields on top of that - useful in any team and worth building at any point and to any point.Race: ElfChapter 1-10: SChapter 10-18: S+Chapter 18-25: S+Chapter 25-30: S+Chapter 30+: S+Best BuildRichelleS+
Great burst protection and supporter. Not that needed at the very start but later she is crucial for many battles or your team will get wiped out before your turns even start rolling.Race: HumanChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: S+Chapter 18-25: S+Chapter 25-30: S+Chapter 30+: S+Best BuildTarosS+
Great tank to mitigate damage for your allies and some self-healing that comes really handy in many situations.Race: LightChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: SChapter 18-25: S+Chapter 25-30: S+Chapter 30+: S+Best BuildBenzelS+
Great damage dealer and the shield-breaking becomes more and more crucial.Race: DarkChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: SChapter 18-25: SChapter 25-30: S+Chapter 30+: S+Best BuildDolucosS+
The chain attacks are really strong and loads himself up with more and more energy. Great damage dealer overallRace: HordeChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: A+Chapter 18-25: SChapter 25-30: S+Chapter 30+: S+Best BuildUlionS+
Nice targeting with the enemy that has the highest attack that will help you get rid of very dangerous formationsRace: LightChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: A+Chapter 18-25: SChapter 25-30: S+Chapter 30+: S+Best BuildSanderS+
Great damage and enemy speed reduction that can mess a lot with synergies is very valuable.Race: ElfChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: A+Chapter 18-25: SChapter 25-30: S+Chapter 30+: S+Best BuildMiliaS+
Great burst executioner that helps cleaning the enemy team and prevent low-HP enemies to still perform and can enable a lot of potential. Amazing value overall and great damage output as well and personally one of my favorite heroes in SOULS.Race: HumanChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: AChapter 18-25: SChapter 25-30: S+Chapter 30+: S+Best BuildCarmenS+
The damage over time damage needs some time to start rolling but once you're there and don't need burst damage, her kit will output some serious damage and also her reviv-blocking can be vital in many situations.Race: UndeadChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: AChapter 18-25: SChapter 25-30: S+Chapter 30+: S+Best BuildNuelS
Great burst damage and on top of that enemy control of enemies and energy battery for your own team.Race: LightChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: SChapter 18-25: SChapter 25-30: SChapter 30+: SBest BuildLilithS
Snowballing and absorbing enemy ATK and Energy control of enemy energy with self-healing is a super versatile kit and holds up well in all stages of the game. Early-game she doesn't reveal her full potential but that will develop later on when you get her higher and unlock more of her kit.Race: DarkChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: A+Chapter 18-25: A+Chapter 25-30: SChapter 30+: SBest BuildZagrakoS
Very good damage output and the ability to stun enemies around the target can become priceless.Race: DarkChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: AChapter 18-25: A+Chapter 25-30: SChapter 30+: SBest BuildAolmondS
Cleaning debuffs and healing is just amazing. Unless you're in the very late-game, she can normally keep your team alive easily.Race: ElfChapter 1-10: SChapter 10-18: SChapter 18-25: SChapter 25-30: SChapter 30+: A+Best BuildDextorA+
Good damage but also buffs ally attack and loads up energy very well. If you pull him early you might see him struggle and his role gets more important in the later stages but absolutely a hero to have on your list long-term in SOULS.Race: UndeadChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: B+Chapter 18-25: AChapter 25-30: A+Chapter 30+: SBest BuildKaionA+
Nice damage and the ability to strike in a line and reach backline enemies can be really good. Espcially strong early where he simply carry and nukes, that will cool off a little but still you will run him later in the game as well.Race: HordeChapter 1-10: S+Chapter 10-18: SChapter 18-25: A+Chapter 25-30: A+Chapter 30+: A+Best BuildSolA+
Good damage output and damage over time and his biggest value is that he will target all enemies so you can chip backline enemies effectively.Race: HordeChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: A+Chapter 18-25: A+Chapter 25-30: A+Chapter 30+: A+Best BuildKenA+
Nice chaining attack that also can add damage over time to chip backline enemies. He needs his full kit to work the way he does, so don't get frustrated that he really struggles in the earlier chapters simply as you don't have the important passives unlocked.Race: HumanChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: B+Chapter 18-25: AChapter 25-30: A+Chapter 30+: A+Best BuildOdeliaA
The stun and the emergency healing is great, but he is more an extra healer if you need to keep up some frontline (espcially something you have to do in later chapters). Earlier in SOULS you rather want a healer that targets the full team and not just the single hero that needs it most but in later chapters a single healer often enough can't keep your team alive and having this emergency healer is really important.Race: HumanChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: B+Chapter 18-25: B+Chapter 25-30: AChapter 30+: A+Best BuildVoidA
Deals damage and part of that heals which can be a great passive healing while he still deals good damage. More valuable in later chapters as in the earlier stages of SOULS he lacks damage and can't heal by himself and becomes more valuable when you have to run two healers in your team later in the game.Race: UndeadChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: BChapter 18-25: B+Chapter 25-30: AChapter 30+: A+Best BuildRipperA
I don't really understand the hybrid here between chipping backrow and debuffing and then also buffing same row dodge rate. Overall doesn't make much sense and there are better alternatives.Race: UndeadChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: AChapter 18-25: AChapter 25-30: AChapter 30+: ABest BuildCocoA
The damage is not breathtaking and the debuff removal can be done by many other heroes and her self-sustain is not too strong.Race: ElfChapter 1-10: B+Chapter 10-18: B+Chapter 18-25: AChapter 25-30: AChapter 30+: ABest BuildTelferA
The bleeding makes Telfer a good damage dealer in SOULS; but sometimes you just need burst and the full potential remains lackluster. In the earlier tages not a great hero as fights won't last long enough to really make the damage over time happen.Race: HordeChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: B+Chapter 18-25: B+Chapter 25-30: AChapter 30+: ABest BuildFionaA
Emergency healer but not too important before you enter the late-/endgame of SOULS. There she has more moments to be the game-changer in your team.Race: ElfChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: B+Chapter 18-25: B+Chapter 25-30: AChapter 30+: ABest BuildAbalaA
Tanking and taunting and shielding allies to keep them alive, becomes more important in later tages of SOULS where you really need that feature.Race: ElfChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: B+Chapter 18-25: B+Chapter 25-30: AChapter 30+: ABest BuildOlgaA
Ally buffer and some healing. Doesn't pop too wild and weirdly enough I only made her work well in the medium chapters in SOULS and she is not that great in the beginning as her role is simply not needed and towards end-game her abilities are not strong enough anymore.Race: HumanChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: B+Chapter 18-25: A+Chapter 25-30: AChapter 30+: B+Best BuildGalanB+
Only valuable to target certain backrow formations and actually only a end-game hero you really need in SOULS, before that you will not gain too uch value or actually need him.Race: ElfChapter 1-10: CChapter 10-18: BChapter 18-25: B+Chapter 25-30: B+Chapter 30+: ABest BuildBabuB+
Kind-of tries to do it all, with damaging, self-healing and shielding and debuffing but after all doesn't do any of it really good so I rather have more specialized heroes in my tea, that really shine at those roles.Race: ElfChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: BChapter 18-25: AChapter 25-30: B+Chapter 30+: B+Best BuildCalixB+
Can enable your carry by provoding energy and strike in a line to chip backrow but unless you're up against a setup where you run a lot of abckrow-chipping heroes and need to get rid of a certain backrow hero.. I don't see too much reason to run Calix.Race: HumanChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: BChapter 18-25: BChapter 25-30: B+Chapter 30+: B+Best BuildAshB+
Ash is really a hero that needs the right setup to work with lifesteal and dying allies to debuff. I personally think he is too specific to be higher on the list.Race: UndeadChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: BChapter 18-25: BChapter 25-30: B+Chapter 30+: B+Best BuildTaniaB+
Burst damage for the front-row if you need to break through but actually I see any more universal damage dealer that can do that and that work more reliable than her.Race: ElfChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: BChapter 18-25: BChapter 25-30: B+Chapter 30+: B+Best BuildBahzamB+
Needs to kill and revive to really work - if that is not happening he doesn't work too well and looking at all battles I used Bahzam in SOULS I can tell you there is a lot of RNG involved.Race: DarkChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: BChapter 18-25: BChapter 25-30: B+Chapter 30+: B+Best BuildHarfaB+
The silence and energy control is nice, but Harfa is not a very durable tank and needs a ton of support to stay up well or I don't see any justification for a spot in my team here.Race: UndeadChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: BChapter 18-25: BChapter 25-30: B+Chapter 30+: B+Best BuildZenonB
Damage is not too great and the healing block is very specific in terms of use-case. More a niche hero than a universally useful hero in SOULS.Race: UndeadChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: CChapter 18-25: BChapter 25-30: BChapter 30+: BBest BuildAruruB
Another hybrid role of damage/healing and on top of that needs to kill enemies to gain attack. Very much RNG and much has to fall in place here to amek this hero work well.Race: HordeChapter 1-10: CChapter 10-18: C+Chapter 18-25: C+Chapter 25-30: BChapter 30+: BBest BuildFletaB
Strike down the target with the lowest HP, so far so good and works well in the early/mid stages of SOULS but simply doesn't has enough damage later on to keep it up and make a good impact.Race: UndeadChapter 1-10: AChapter 10-18: AChapter 18-25: BChapter 25-30: BChapter 30+: C+Best BuildIdinaC+
Targeting and freezing enemy backrow enemies sounds great but her damage is just not there and unless you really need that she is just not too useful, no in early, mid or end-game and even there you have way better options.Race: HumanChapter 1-10: CChapter 10-18: C+Chapter 18-25: C+Chapter 25-30: C+Chapter 30+: C+Best BuildAmandaC+
Several flaws- Her targeting and debuffing of the enemy with the highest ATK sounds great and providing energy when dying useful - but the damage is simply not there and she dies too often and fast for the energy she provides so I rather have an hero in my team that stays alive long enough to really make a differenceRace: UndeadChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: CChapter 18-25: BChapter 25-30: C+Chapter 30+: C+Best BuildRakanC+
Where should I start here? A tankthat shields himself based on the damage dealt is bad as the shield is just very weak. Gain more attack when HP is low, well a tank should become more sturdy with lower HP to give healers enough time to heal him up. And apply silence when dying?! Unless you're really close you don't see an impact here once your tank is down. Just the whole kit is not there and useful.Race: HumanChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: C+Chapter 18-25: C+Chapter 25-30: C+Chapter 30+: C+Best BuildParuC+
His damage simply doesn't scale enough and many of his self-sustain features either trigger very rarely or are too weak to make a difference.Race: HordeChapter 1-10: CChapter 10-18: CChapter 18-25: CChapter 25-30: C+Chapter 30+: C+Best BuildNaruC+
The healing multipliers are just not there and at the end the only real reason is to release an ally under a control effect. And that is just very little to run Naru in your team.Race: HordeChapter 1-10: CChapter 10-18: CChapter 18-25: CChapter 25-30: C+Chapter 30+: C+Best BuildLagouC+
Just not that useful. Why would you need to tank frontrow? There is nothing in his kit that is particularly useful and his only reason is being a meatshield and that is nothing he does too well with his base stats. Overall not a hero I recommend running.Race: HordeChapter 1-10: BChapter 10-18: CChapter 18-25: CChapter 25-30: C+Chapter 30+: C+Best Build
