Castle Clash has a ton of heroes and deciding which ones you should focus on can be incredibly hard because you don’t know which ones really help you in the long run, right? Also, upgrading a hero in Castle Clash is expensive and takes time and you don’t want to waste that on a hero that’s simply not worth it!
We created a tier list of best heroes looking at how they perform in the important game modes (plus some other things, but more on that later) to give you a list that will help you choose the heroes you will focus on in Castle Clash.
2026 Update! Added first impression for Crazy Tycoon
Tier List Explanation
Before you take a look at the list, please read some general instructions how we created this list and how you should take the information when you use it for your choice.
Hero Tiers
The heroes have tiers in from S (Superior, the strongest) over A (still very strong) over B, C to D (not useful for this game mode at all).
For every game mode you will find a tier ranking that will show you how well a maxed hero will perform here. There’s also a total tier that takes all the game modes into equation.
Game Modes in Castle Clash
Not all game modes are similar important in Castle Clash when it comes to rewards. For that reason, we also prioritized the game modes that will give you better rewards to have more influence on the total score.
Missing Heroes
Not every single hero in Castle Clash is here in the list. With the addition of so many new heroes there are a lot of heroes that have no more use-case right now. So, instead of having dozens of additional heroes in the list all ranked lowest tier, I don’t have them here. If you’re looking for a hero that’s not on the list be sure that there’s no use or need to invest in that hero, he’s not close to become anywhere to useful anytime soon.
Please mind that the total score reflects this view! E.g. we don’t rank Arena as very important so the tier in Arena has the lowest impact on the total score. If you prioritize on Arena in Castle Clash, the column with Arena is more important to you than the total tier of a hero.
- Guild War, Dungeons, HBM, Ember Army, Hero Trials have 100% impact on the total tier of a hero
- Team Dungeons, Lost Battlefield, Narcia have 75% impact
- Fortress Feud, Archdemon, Lostland, Labyrinth, Blitz have 50% impact
- Arena has 25% impact
Best Heroes Tier List
Now, here’s the list:
Important! Don’t miss out on free rewards from secret codes that get posted by the developers, I have a full list of all active secret codes in Castle Clash that I frequently update here. and if you are here for the builds, find them wrapped up alphabetically here.
Tier NEWPromising but super RNG honestly and ranged from win condition to absolutely useless due to his chances for the energy drain effect and random targeting.
Tier S+Another dragon in the ring and we know how crazy the devs release them - malefica is no difference here and seems to shine in every game mode.
Tier S+A lot of potential and hard to tell if it was inteded by the devs or not that she is basically abetter Dynamica or if there is a fix/nerf incoming. I just have a feeling this is an oopsie but right now, she is incredibly strong.
Tier S+
Tier SLooks really strong and promising and I don't want to predict meta here but there is a solid chance.
Tier S
Tier SReally cool kit and a highly meta-relevant hero now.
Tier SIncreases ally accuracy and the damage enemies recieve which makes her useful and she scales with new heroes as well.
Tier SHe can inhibit Malefica he deserves that ranking here and overall quite a astrong hero in Castle Clash. You can build him and have a lot of fun with running him honestly.
Tier SReally good in dungeons and universally working hero. His damage got a little nerfed but his skill is still alive and kickin if you build him correctly. I wouldn't take a new mortage on the house to build him but if you are genuinely interested in building him I think he will remain strong for the time being and it's unlekely they will nerf him again.
Tier A+Immune to Inhibit + Support.
Tier A+Good for base bombing after clearing and amazing in Guid War but looking at the way to obtain her I think for most players not even worth reading this sentence here to the end.
Tier A+Used to be the top ands till is solid but so many newer heroes have shifted the meta away from her.
Tier A+Although she can change the meta long-term with her revive-blocking kit, she is not the most top heroes. If you want to be an early-adopter you can build her and she is nice with the way revive is used broadly, she is not the op on-top-of-the-meta hero in Castle Clash that some want or do see in her.
Tier A+A hero that will be good in arena and also working in Team Dungeons, that's about it. That should give you the idea if you should get him or not but for most players probably not.
Tier A+
Tier A+
Tier A+Immune to Inhibit + sturdy tank.
Tier A+A slightly hinge better than Rambard but not a hero you should roll for or invest your Runestones into, tbh.
Tier A+
Tier A+
Tier A+Good support tank similar to Flame Darklord or Infernal Jailer and worth building and using. He is not top of the meta but good and useful and on the better side of heroes that have been released this year.
Tier A+Good for THBM but that's about it with him. It's not an incredibly mistake to build him but if you are good in those modes you can actually skip him.
Tier A+Pretty great as he will let allies do great piercing damage and also has good attack buff.
Tier AAfter all the back and forth upon release and ignoring how expensive he actually is and after his buff... he actually is a good hero overall but for most players not really worth getting.
Tier AIgnoring immunity conditions is a nice setup, He is no main-lineup daily-carry hero, but one that will have his fair usage with that unique ability for sure.
Tier AImmune to Inhibit + good damage + debuff.
Tier AFirst look with uncapped reflection and damage and healing loooks good, but the fact that he will not be able to move and frightens enemies will probably not really make him too useful honestly.
Tier A
Tier AActually a really good support hero.
Tier APuhhh... this hero looks like light and shadow. A lot of cool cc resist in the kit and potentially deals good damage and can even remove secure armor (which is more specific to certain heroes) and scales. I don't think that Demon Purger will sit on top of the meta or be a core, but he appears so far as a more than solid hero to extend your overall roaster flexibility options of you need to and maybe secure armor will become more meta later in the future then he would be such a core hero.
Tier A
Tier A
Tier ACan do well in builds with a team that has great dodge to maintain the ACC debuff on the enemies and scaling by HP percentage is also great. First tests are solid with him but I don't see him taking over meta.
Tier AAmazing tank and timeout defense hero, probably the best in the game for that use-case.
Tier AFrankly all I have seen so far is more than average so do not go out of your way.
Tier AGood in 3-team modes primarily but nowhere near the meta for main teams.
Tier B+
Tier B+Probably the most complex and complicated kit there is and she seems very rng and squishy honestly.
Tier B+Interesting approach espcially with the reflect but honestly with the max scaler here in place I am really concerned that this will do too much and he might rather be there and that's it. Need for sure more testing but if I can give you a rec, stay put here.
Tier B+
Tier B+I don't hate him so far and while I can already tell you that he will not be meta breaking or too relevant, parts of his kit seem to work decently against meta heroes.
Tier B+I think the best term to describe him is solid - he has a spot but you shouldn't go all out to unlock and build him unless you really want to.
Tier B+Event hero for the 12th anniversary and honestly has a kit that I think is too complicated to work but it's anniverary, we all like collecting and having her is not hurting anyone.
Tier B+She literally is more often than not counterproductive and don't take anything out and effectively only delays enemy revives. She might be actually good in 1v1 and 2v2 setups but do you really want to make that invest just for that?.
Tier B+Alright hero but nowhere close to meta-relevant so if you like her and the design, go for it and you can use her but don't feel you have to.
Tier B+
Tier B+
Tier B+Some hat him some like him and in my opinion he is a solid hero in Castle Clash and if you like his kit go ahead he is not the worst to have or build. Solid tank but nowhere near meta.
Tier B+
Tier B+Actually not too interesting since there are too many things that can disable his kit easily.
Tier B+Looks a lot better than she is honestly. The way the meta works and the way her kit works are just not really meeting at all so while her kit might sound cool, she is not getting it well on the track.
Tier B+
Tier B+
Tier B+Super interesting as he has the ability to take immunity conditions away from enemies but he is glass cannon and damaging himself but he can open up a lot of setups that have been out of the meta due to immunity conditions. But despite the strong early impression, testing with him has been flumsy and he is not that great actually unless you love niche paired with rng.
Tier B+Honestly not too great overall and I atually had higher hopes when starting to test her.
Tier B+Piercing damage sounds better than it is here, just doesn't deliver what needs to be to be a useful hero in the current meta.
Tier B+
Tier B+
Tier B+Not really a good hero, more a crit enabler and needs ton of crit himself to be decent at all.
Tier B+Actually more good as tank and healer, her revive is not really working. It doesn't have a limit, theoretically she can revive everytime a hero dies while under her skill effect. In reality, the window to revive hero is very small and it very rarely works which makes her not that reliable overall.
Tier B+
Tier B+Actually not good, I mean not horrible but I don't see any point to invest actively here. Shysickle is just not there when it comes to damage and his kit needs so much to fall in place to work decently.
Tier B+
Tier DHonestly the kit is not supposed to work other than dealing with enemy setups that use heavy dodge but even that, I really don't see much of a point in the meta honestly.
Tier B+first impression... few immunities, not needed support, questionable effect, i guess decent dmg but there's enough other options and he doesn't ignore damage caps.
Tier B+
Tier B+Tier B+Tier B+Not really that good although his kit read quite interesting. Not an invest for me right now.
Tier B+
Tier B+Really unreliable and weird in my first tests, might adjust ranking but for now really not a fan.
Tier B+
Tier BDisappointing honestly and I don't see her a hero to build. Just nothing really works or is helpful in her kit.
Tier BHonestly not really worth it and there are a lot heroes that are worth building and using more. Stats look good but kit is just not working well.
Tier B
Tier BHe CAN temporarily play his sturdyness but since he is not immune to inhibit he is easy to kill which makes him kind-of meh. Honestly, I wouldn't even bother building him.
Tier B
Tier BRumors have it she will be the new PD but I honestly don't see it know. She honestly was more disappointing when testing than any other hero I had been testing recently.
Tier B

Tier B
Tier BThere are some parts in this skill description that I want to print out and hit the devs with (like honestly go for cool skill design but don't write a novel about it. If it can't fit on a page, just don't do it!). Might have some relevance with the cc immunity for some modes but for most players not too relevant dust collector.
Tier B
Tier BSeasonal heroes again... I mean you could potentially see him in a niche role against very certain setups but honestly he is trash and useless like 98% of the time.
Tier BPrimarily useful for Destiny to be honest.

Tier BShe is honestly lackluster and not relevant, I wouldn't even recommend building her at all and she can be easily skipped there is nothing in her kit you can really use.
Tier B
Tier BActually not that great. I wouldn't call him a trash hero but you can easily skip without problems.

Hi, the hero Merksha was quite high in the ranking list and now she dropped out completely. What is the reason behind this dramatic change?
Bonjour,
Je suis un peu perdu sur les effets limites de dégâts, dégâts max par coup leur différence et comment ils sont contournés ?
Vous n’auriez pas une base de données qui recensement les effets et comment ils sont contournes.
Merci d’avance

That’s what most people said about the old one… what device are you using? Maybe there’s a problem I can fix

no
I do not see headings in the above columns. Can anyone tell me what each column is?

Is Vermilica here? Is Inquisitess here? I don’t think so. They came out in the end of February. Hope you can update it.
sure they are
Hey man, great guide. As someone who just recently got back into the game, this list has been very helpful. I know this is too much to ask, but it would be nice if you could give a short description explaining what makes this unit good, or bad and what kind of role they play in a team. This way, someone like me can understand how why a certain unit is good and how I can utilize them. For example, there are so many game modes in this game and the same with the heroes. So, I’m sure some units excel more in a certain mode than others. It would be really helpful to know I can best build my team.
Great guide man. I just got back in the game after a year or two so this is pretty helpful. I know this is asking too much, but it would be nice if you had a small description explaining why each hero is in the tier you put it on. Since everything seems new to me right now, I have no idea why the top heroes are at the top. I have no idea what modes they are good for and why these talents or insignia are recommended.
Great guide. Thanks a lot.
As for the new heroes Vermilica , Inquistess , Lady Weldcore & Genteel Droid.
I would like to know if they are worth investing in.
Sure but it takes some testing to give you a solid recommendation here. I hope to get it done by next week 🙂
Do I assume correctly that my raid teams would be those ranking high in Blitz?
Vermilica , Inquistess , Lady Weldcore & Genteel Droid are they powerfull …
What about lady weldcore?
What about revenant?
Lady weldcore and genteel droid? Great list btw!
Did you just update the heroes rank?
As I remember it is not like that before.
Exactly, noted that I did some changes to several heroes to reflect current strength
Please update so many are countring on your judgement! 😀
Just updated 🙂
Really helpful mate! Where would you place cold conjuress?
great publish, very informative. I wonder why the other
specialiists of this sector do not notice this. You must continue your writing.
I am sure, you have a huge readers’ base already!
Awesome dude all my heroes that I have are on here btw my playername is WaRiOr5 and my team is Landwalker, Athene, Anubis, Lazulix, Phobos, and Occultist.
How is treantaur at C doesn’t it revive 2 allies?
Thank you very much bro, u are awesome, keep up the good work!
hey btw…where are artica and moltanica? are they so bad that they fell of the list?
How about Barbarian Rider? (Will it make the list?)
How is rambard higher in the list than dovekeeper. Rambard always dies first in my team and dovekeeper always dies last. And i have the exact same talents, crests, etc as this list???
cuz rambard revives heroes and also cuz u maybe have a shitty rambard build use emp sl
Thanks so much for this!!! I never knew which ones were good and which heroes were trash. I understand having to wait a week for new heroes, but is it possible to try to put older heroes on there that aren’t already?
What i don’t understood is actually how you’re no longer
really much more smartly-preferred than you might be right now.
You are so intelligent. You recognize thus considerably in relation to
this matter, made me individually believe it from numerous various angles.
Its like men and women aren’t interested unless it’s something to
do with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs great.
At all times care for it up!
👎🏻
im surprised rosaleen is so low, she is a valuable asset to any team, im 300k might and looking to get a pretty good team, so far my team is miss magic (bt 32), Zephyrica (bt21), rambard (bt 23), dove keeper (bt 24), rosaleen (bt 21), and young spark (bt 21). who should i focus on trying to get? i have 1 cold heir, and im halfway to 1 dynamica copy.
Rosaleen is pretty weak, like Miss Magic, you should focus on your Zephy
Thank you for making this. This help newbie player a lot. Keep it up!
Awesome list, i just think colossus is good enough to be somewhere in there
Where is aries?
As I said, only useful heroes in here and aries isn’t anymore
can you also make best builds
Sure thing – you can find it here
Yes please. Have just got Royal Mummy, but not much info or there
Hey Tim you are very very helpful for clashes. And you are very clear in your opinion. I like it. Off course Thank you
Can u add some of the new heroes? Like royal mummy
Sure thing, I update this list frequently with new heroes but it always take some time to identify the strength of a hero unless testing him for some time… I think I will do an update next week or so 🙂
Please update
Please update
Agreed, every month my butt
It’s a pity that the list of champions here is not alphabetical. I’m playing the Vietnamese version, so all the champion’s names have changed. I only know how to compare the faces of champions. It’s difficult when we don’t speak the same language. But I appreciate the full information of the game here. Very grateful for that.
