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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Okay damage and solid healing. Overall not too crazy but the best shadow healer in LotR Heroes so I ramked him here.
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.
Decent single-target damage but falls off towards the late-game of Lord of the RIngs Heroes of Middle Earth.
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.
Decent healing with elves and can provide value in those teams, other than that not impressive at all.
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.
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.
Requires goblins and is not that strong overall compared to other large units.
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.
Messes with enemy turn meter but that's about it and she really requires the team to be on point to work well enough to consider her in most situations.
Has some okay healing but also forces a lot of goblins on your team to work. For that reason I rank him here.
Okay tank and okay damage dealer but without Blood Frenzies useless and just overall not a character that stands out in anything he does.
Yes, signature character but not that viable. Don't deal significant damage and the single-target burst is not enough, either.
Is designed as a support character but applies a lot of bleed and needs goblins - just a weird kit.
Deals single-target damage but by far not enough to make him stand out against the main area-damage dealers.
Needs goblins around him but can be a fast tank - but not one you want to invest too much towards end-game.
Has a ton of buffs in his kit but normally will go down too quickly to make use of it so I don#t want to rank him any higher.
Needs a lot of goblins around him to work okay-ish.
A quick character if you need it and has support and healing - but a big problem is keeping him alive.
The whole kit is not working well right now - turn meter rewind sounds great but is not in reality and the passive ability nearly never delivers any significant results.
Not a solid tank, not a support that helps much, no significant damage... well, not useless but not good either.
Needs Mordor and if you can apply Concentration on them you can see solid results - other than that nothing to consider.
Needs a lot of Blood Frenzy to work and deal solid single-target damage.
On her solid damage output but missing any synergy to make her do an impact.
Can apply slow to an enemy and although a tank is working better for slow and damage dealing (but, of course, this will not scale well enough to viable later in the game).
Can Expose and Weaken and deal some damage but not that much synergy right now.
Can heal but that's pretty much all he can and without any other support the other healers in Lord of the Rings Heroes are simply a lot stronger.
Feel like a lot more needs to be done here.
His buffs/debuff is great but only affect a single target which doesn't make it worth to run him, tbh.
Very fragile character, can't recommend her at all right now.
