Best Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle Earth Characters Tier List

There are a ton of characters in Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-Earth so you don’t just have a difficult time choosing your team, but also what characters in general you should invest in and build – and some characters do really well while others will fall off towards later game heavily!

In my tier list here I have them all listed and ranked to give you a idea if you should invest in this character or not + show what characters in LotR Heroes they synergize well, too.

Best Characters Tier List in LotR: Heroes

Alright, enough introduction let’s start with the tier list of the best characters (Tier S) to the worst (Tier D). Also, please keep in mind this tier list is created to show the viability towards end-game, so just because a character does good early in the game doesn’t mean he will be ranked high here when he/she is falling off later.

S

Easily one of the best heroes with a ton of damage output and ability to disrupt enemies and disable. He can basically do all at once with control effects, has decent damage and can also take some beatings as he is tanky as well. On top of that buffs orcs, trolls and misty mountain characters as well.

A really good tank if you combine him with elves and rangers and can also deliver solid damage output as well.

S

He is all about damage and with his area-damaging abilities he can wreck enemies. For me the best damage dealer in the game right now..

S

First of all, yes, he is slow - but effective. He can reduce enemy armor for two turns and buffs Might to your team and Daze on the enemies. Combine him with the right setup and he can break you through rough setups..

Race:Troll

Synergizes with:Nurraz,Bolg

S

Absolutely crazy if you use him in a ranger team. He is tanky, he has damage and also enables rangers really well with his kit..

Race:Human

S

Best healer in Lord of the Rings Heroes and can resurrect. Almost all elf teams need him and get so much stronger through him.

Great healer and outstanding support and works in pretty much all team setups. Also her passive is really great as well if things get messy so you gain Nimble..

One of my favorite damage dealers right now and the way his provoking works when enemies attack make him a great addition in so many team setups..

Eomer

ⓘ Details

A

When I read his kit I thought this is one of the strongest heroes in the game - but his summon goes down quite quickly and requires quite some team-tailoring around him to work that well..

Race:Human

Synergizes with:Lady Eowyn,Eothain

Eothain

A

A great tank and if you don't spend much, this is your go-to-tank option in LotR Heroes! Has great counters and turn meter benefits in his kit as well..

Lady Eowin

ⓘ Details

A

She can clear banes, which already makes her a really useful hero in LotR Heroes but also her assist and damage-enabling abilities make her a very broad-matching fit for many teams..

Race:Human

See Eomer

Shagat

See Ghazh Ironhide

ⓘ Details

A

A little bit of a disclaimer here, you need to run him in a Mordor team or he won#t work well at all. If you do, he will pump your turn meter and his debuffs are crazy - his self-buffing after killing one of your teammates is questionalble but works really well to my surprise..

Race:Orc

Synergizes with:Ghazh Ironhide,Grimlurz

See Ghazh Ironhide

See Grimlurz

Strider

See Frodo Baggins

ⓘ Details

A

You will get Strider quite early in Lord of the Rings Heroes and he will remain viable for a long time. Good damage, armor and his burns work well and if you can make his crits work in a solid team he is rolling..

Race:Human

Synergizes with:Frodo Baggins,Halbarad

See Frodo Baggins

See Halbarad

Ugluk

See Mauhur

ⓘ Details

Is tanky and has a large HP pool to sustain and with his disabling and blinding effects he is a hero that you will enjoy using..

Azhak

See Mauhur

ⓘ Details

B+

Very nice damage on single-targets and his primary role is dealing with taunting enemies so disrupt synergies. Not universal and also not available early in the game but one to have in your expanded roaster, for sure - espcially later in the game..

Race:Orc

Synergizes with:Mauhur,Ugluk

Okay damage and solid healing. Overall not too crazy but the best shadow healer in LotR Heroes so I ramked him here.

B

Good healer but that's pretty much it - there are no ways you can make him work extremely strong so it feels like he's falling off later in the game, although his debuffs are also pretty nice..

Race:Dwarf

Synergizes with:Kili,Fro

See Kili

See Fro

Herendil

See Sergeant Ara

ⓘ Details

B

Is quite situational as you need to get a kill to really make his damage-engine rolling. For me more a hero to run against summoner to bag the kill easily and go from there..

Race:Human

Synergizes with:Sergeant Ara

Kili

B

Very solid damage output and nice critical damage if you need some burst (can be RNG, though). His disable can also sometimes be a blessing to have..

Mauhur

ⓘ Details

B

The reason I rank him here is that he, first of all, really needs a lot of investment to work well and you also need to run him along Uluk or his kit will not have any real impact..

Race:Orc

Synergizes with:Ugluk,Dunhar

See Ugluk

Mirie

Works well in a ranger team and there she will deliver quite good damage output and has some synergies with Halbarad but that's about it..

Nurraz

See Gruhur the Brute

B

Pretty fragile and squishy to play in many situations and it really takes until he can finally summon - if he doesn't die and starts his summons he is really great but as this is a big IF I only rank him here..

Race:Orc

Synergizes with:Gruhur the Brute,Bolg

See Gruhur the Brute

Value in Mordor squads with a ton of great debuffs but not the fastest and I personally don't like that you can't use him outside of Mordor teams well..

B

Extremely fragile and squishy and the bad news is, he is a tank - and that's probably the least useful thing to say about a tank. Can work okay-ish with Bolg but overall there are a lot better options available in Lord of the Rings Heroes....
