Let’s talk about heroes in Battle Night. As you know, it’s a grind to actually upgrade them so you should choose wisely what heroes you want to spend your attention to. I have build a tier list that I frequently update to help you see what heroes are worth it and which ones are not.
As with every tier list, this also includes personal opinions and some heroes are debatable (what you can kindly comment below in the comments).
So, let’s get started.
Best Heroes in Battle Night – Tier List
Before we will get into the list, let me give some annotations to the list…
Tiers
The tiers are S > A > B > C with the “+” ones giving those heroes a small boost when they are in between tiers or simply are stronger than their “base” tier.
Within the tiers, the heroes are pretty much un-ranked. This means, just because multiple heroes have the “S” tier doesn’t mean that the one higher in the list is “more S Tier” than the other. This is just the sorting of the table tool. S Tier means S Tier.

S+++ Tier
Raphael is still on the top and dominating, even viable at purple. His dodge prayer mechanics will heal and negate the current and previous hit, making him so hard to kill (the enemy needs to hit basically twice through dodge).
Role: Support (Heal)
Missions: S+ PvP: S+ Mines: S+ Bosses: S+
Overall probably the best tank in Battle Night and also decent damage. Weak against multiple DPS enemies as Vidar can only take one of them into duel, but still extremely viable and useful in any game mode in Battle Night
Role: Tank (Damage)
Missions: S+ PvP: S+ Mines: S+ Bosses: S+
S Tier
Irene
Role: Damage (Support)
Missions: S PvP: S+ Mines: A Bosses: S+
Nintu provides a good pack of DPS with a lot of AoE. Can stun but rely on applying her marks to snowball, but that is not happening that frequently. Still, overall a very reliable source of damage.
Role: Damage
Missions: S PvP: S+ Mines: S Bosses: S+
Unlike her stats show, Nymeria is actually better as tank than as an attacker. Can apply damage over time with her high dodge mechanics.
Role: Tank (Damage)
Missions: S+ PvP: S+ Mines: S Bosses: S
Phoebe provides good crowd control and is also a fast hero and can also act as off- tank. Within the right teams, she can help nuke enemies away with her stun.
Role: Tank (Support)
Missions: S+ PvP: S+ Mines: S Bosses: S
Sage is really strong, especially at A3. Still pretty good before that as well but requires A1 at least to make it worth running in your team. Silence can be one of the most devastating in Battle Night, especially in PvP.
Role: Damage (Support)
Missions: S PvP: S+ Mines: S Bosses: S+
Samuel works in almost every team and can make most of your team immune to crowd control and buffs your whole team very well.
Role: Damage (Support)
Missions: S+ PvP: S+ Mines: S Bosses: S
Shreateh is primarily offering nice support and tank with good DPS and high HP. Arguably slow and low def, though.
Role: Support (Tank)
Missions: S+ PvP: S Mines: A Bosses: S+
Wassily turns out to be a monster AoE and sustain DPS at A3, but isn’t strong at purple. Deals crazy crit damage.
Role: Damage (AoE)
Missions: S+ PvP: S Mines: A Bosses: S+
A Tier
Beamon is a good tank overall and deals good DPS as well, but does damage based on him losing health. In the right situations, he can pull off insane damage but needs accuracy. For that reason I ranked him on top of the A Tier.
Role: Tank (Damage)
Missions: S PvP: S Mines: S Bosses: S
Beckinsale applies marks and then blows the enemy up and has some healing and damage immunity. Deals solid DPS and the marks can’t get dodged but is no outstanding DPS hero compared to the ones in the higher tiers.
Role: Damage (Multi Target)
Missions: S+ PvP: S+ Mines: A Bosses: A
Every is a super-solid hero to have and work on, especially if you want to build a strong Fallen team. Synergy with Iggy and at times good against A3 Raphael and Vidar.
Role: Damage (Support)
Missions: S PvP: S+ Mines: A Bosses: S
Iggy
Role: Damage
Missions: S PvP: S Mines: A Bosses: S+
Kapoor
Role: Support (Damage)
Missions: S PvP: S Mines: A Bosses: S+
Lavinia shines at A3 but is kind of slow before but still offers nice utility. Before that get A1 and A2 her 1st and 3rd skill for speed but this will leave tank potential and healing factors on the table. Aim for A3 and she’s going to be a beast.
Role: Tank (Support)
Missions: S PvP: S+ Mines: B Bosses: A
Legolas is also a DPS hero that uses and needs DoT to stack to really work. Often that’s not possible but passive and normal attacks are strong enough to still make a good appearance.
Role: Damage
Missions: S PvP: A Mines: S Bosses: S
Megalith
Role: Tank (Support)
Missions: A+ PvP: A+ Mines: A Bosses: A+
Mikaela is a very strong debuffer that removes crit and attack from enemies as well as deflect their healing. Only gets maximum effect when combined with a hero that applies burn damage to enemies, for that reason not higher on the tier list.
Role: Support (Damage)
Missions: S PvP: S Mines: A Bosses: S
Misteltein is one of the most insane damage-dealing heroes in Battle Night but also glass cannon. Her role is to rip enemies on turn one, basically, but if that fails she will go down really fast. Useful in many situations but can be squishy. i’d love to rank her higher but that’s an issue you have to deal with.
Role: Damage (Multi Target)
Missions: S PvP: S+ Mines: S Bosses: A
Rhaegal is a hybrid tank with damage over time abilities and locks/stalls enemies. Damage over time is based on HP and quite fast and nice to lock down enemies like Vidar. Misses some last “bang” to be higher in the tier list.
Role: Damage
Missions: S PvP: S Mines: S+ Bosses: A
Sayung is a sustain area DPS hero and less glass cannon compared to Mistelstein but his kit needs crit to work well, and I feel it misses the last bit to really take off big time.
Role: Damage (Multi Target)
Missions: S PvP: S Mines: A Bosses: S
Attention! Sobel‘s rating here based on being paired with Sage and Skriath for the synergy, otherwise he’s pretty much useless.
Role: Damage (Support)
Missions: S PvP: S+ Mines: A Bosses: S
Sone deals good damage and offers support for damage dealers plus debuffs for the enemy. His weak spot is his health and defense, so he’s fragile and needs to go first to effectively pack a punch.
Role: Support (Damage)
Missions: S PvP: S Mines: S Bosses: S+
B Tier
A-Zhao has a kind of weird skill kit that needs to kill enemies and her team to proc her abilities. More a hero you want to use early to mid-game and falls off later compared to the heroes higher on the list. Also requires A1 and Risefinch as a minimum investment to be viable.
Role: Damage (Multi Target)
Missions: A PvP: A Mines: A Bosses: A
Cucho needs to build flame runes to release his strong attack which bases randomly. He also has high damage with his burn but needs a burn team to shine and at least have him red plus exclusives to be able to survive well and pack a punch.
Role: Damage (Tank)
Missions: A PvP: S Mines: A Bosses: A
Dreyfus is also an odd DPS hero as he needs to be attacked to work well (and also has taunt for that). Needs to get a ton of dodge and he will deal viable damage.
Role: Tank (Damage)
Missions: A PvP: A Mines: B Bosses: A
Harpe is an Odd DPS hero with damage over time and extra attack. The problem is that damage over time will get removed often and his damage output relies on that. Can perform solid but I’m not overwhelmed.
Role: Damage over time
Missions: A+ PvP: A Mines: B Bosses: A+
Kratos is a good AoE damage-dealer but bad early in the game, I mean really bad. Later becomes really good and can tank a little as well. Only downside is the lack of speed and sometimes you feel you watch slowmotion.
Role: Damage (Multi Target)
Missions: A PvP: A+ Mines: A Bosses: A
Poll deals very constant DPS all around and carries quite well. Takes on the easiest target first and the only problem is that his health is not that much and his burst can be easily countered by Raphael’s healing.
Role: Damage
Missions: A PvP: A Mines: A Bosses: A
C Tier
Charlotte is one of the best early-game tanks in Battle Night with self heals and can sustain a lot. Her only downside is that she can’t really taunt so she often ends up as the last survivor (what you don’t want a tank to be).
Role: Tank (Healing)
Missions: B PvP: B Mines: C Bosses: C
Gilbert can be one of the hardest-hitting heroes in Battle Night with insane single-target crits. Also immune to control. His weakness is when his one-hit-kill mechanics don’t work (dodge, HP pool, missing), he will sleep the next round and do nothing. Squishy as f***.
Role: Damage
Missions: B PvP: A Mines: C Bosses: C
F Tier
AS I also get asked a lot “what about the other heroes?”. Well, they are not in the meta right now but I still have them listed above so you can look them up there.
Arngreene is a good tank but you need to spend a ton of money and have high VIP to have him.
Gassol deals damage over time (DoT) support hero that will spread his DoT around and buffs your backline heroes.
Garuda can heal up DPS heroes well as she gives them bloodsucking and can remove DoT
Skadi how damage but good crowd control. Falls off later in the game
Westerly’s healing depends on his attacks and grants additional rage for your team and can clear DoT. Max out at purple so keeping him alive at late game is hard, but but can be still useful in situations
Phonoi is a support hero similar to Minamoto but boosts team survivability by lowering enemy accuracy
Christina is a pure AoE DPS hero and needs crit to really make an impact
Minamoto provides healing and dodge in the time in between. More powerful early in the game when accuracy isn’t that common. Fades out later in the game
Fino is a support hero that will buffs your team’s accuracy well and also debuffs the enemy team. Not that useful earlier in Battle Night but can become niche counter to Nymeria or Mina/Phonoi teams
Caitlyn might be useful very early in the game but becomes a pure fodder hero after that
Patroclus is a nice tank early and towards mid-game but falls off later
Grinborth is hard to rank as you will get him in VIP packages and need him to evolve other paid heroes, so spend his copies as rarely as possible. But not anywhere close to meta.
Elva applies silence, is good for crowd control, and can heal when struck critical. Still a hero you shouldn’t use past lvl 40
Naomi works mid-game alright with two of her in the team that can avoid the tanks and stun backline enemies but gets useless late-game
Arteta is not really worth using except for fill early game. Fodder material
Cassini can block skill usage of the enemies but is pure early game crowd control hero that falls off later in the game
Caledon has a built-in counterattack and serves as early game tank but falls off later in the game
Arae applies a damage over time but her damage hasn’t large multipliers so just serves as fodder hero later in the game
Mayne is a specific fodder hero to Zhao so always keep 3 copies of her around
Tiger is a sustain DPS hero and his damage is permanently increasing when any unit dies (ally or enemy). Can be used to cheese but that’s only useful in some scenarios and is squishy
Camilla is needed to get Kratos to purple, so don’t do anything else with her than collecting the copies
Lyse is an okayish AoE support hero using damage over time but low base attack and needs to run with other DoT heroes actually to do anything
Eunice applies DoT when she crits and only attacks frontline so many ways to counter her directly. Not really useful.
Hanna is a support hero that prevents crits by rebuffing enemies. Especially early in the game weaker as crit is not that much of an issue there but becomes more important later. But she can’t evolve past purple so by the time her debuffs would be nice it’s really hard to keep her alive.
Thane might be useful very early in the game but after that becomes a pure fodder hero
Evelynn is used to evolve Dreyfuss so keep her copies to do that
Attis deals AoE DPS that can synergize with crowd control heroes and bypass the frontline. More a hero you use early and mid-game and falls off compared to other AoE DPS heroes later
Daria’s copies are needed to evolve Samuel so always have 3 copies of her around
Heloise is necessary to evolve Poll to purple so always keep at least 3 copies of her. Not really useable in your squad anyway
Finley doesn’t solve any purpose other than fodder for other heroes within Machine camp
Black doesn’t solve any purpose other than fodder for other heroes within Machine camp
Leah is needed to evolve Phoebe to purple so don’t use her for anything else
Archer is pure fodder
Dawn is pure fodder
Rowen is pure fodder
Khun is pure fodder
Billy is pure fodder
Caroline is a pure fodder
Tucci is a pure fodder
Alisha is a pure fodder.

Hi, thank you So much for this list. The forum on Reddit is a disaster. No info there from experienced players. The best advice they give is “look at people with the highest power and see what characters they’re using”. Anyway, your list is excellent, can i ask though why you’d rate Gold kratos where he is, but not rank a Purple one? Same with Nymeria. You only have the gold one, I’ve been using the purple version and she’s fantastic because of all that dodge also, Were would you put her in the pist? I’m sure you’ve done the same with others, oh yes like there’s no purple Raphael, and thats basically what 60% of the site is usin while saving up for the gold hehe. Anyway. the list is great, But do you REALLY rate Garuda that high? one of the best purples? Sure if you put her in there and you fight a team around your power level she’ll help keep you alive a little, but without using halidoms on your stroner characters to add 30% chance of convertin attack to healing, she doesn’t stand a CHANCE versus Raphael. When i’m usin Garuda, i notice my team can be on 50% life the whole fight, and they go down.. and down.. never getting topped off so they’re vulnerable to a crit. Anyway…
Can i add that Naomi is also WAY above the rating you gave her, C+/B/C .. maybe you haven’t used her? If you don’t have a decent fill in to use with Harpe and Poll, she’ll do great for a while, she heals herself and does decent damage. I’m not joking, while leveling up, around the 5 – 8 million power, she often gets near the highest rating in the team after the fight. Check her out in good gear again.
Finally you have a blue Caitlyn above alot of purples. I’ve seen this before, people ratins blues as playable up in the 7 – 8 – 9 millions… NO lol. Even if you’re suggesting Samuel. They just get hit too hard even with stacked gear and get one shotted lol. Also, wheres the purple and blue Samuel’s ratings? This list needs to be completed properly my friend, as anyone who’s oin to actually need to use it, will be usin those Purple versons of the better heros you know?
Brilliant list otherwise!!!!
