Maxing out a hero in Hero Wars takes a lot of time and resources so picking the right ones early in the game you put your effort into is probably the smartes thing you can do long-term. Below I have a tier list for you that will show you what heroes are actually worth it in Hero Wars.
There are also several heroes that are great early in the game but will get worse later and you have still wasted your resources on them.
Please mind following things for the tier list:
- Some heroes in Hero Wars have different mechanics on Facebook and Mobile, so please check what platform you’re playing Hero Wars on. A good example is Aurora who is an awesome hero on Facebook but her mobile version misses her mechanics so she is a lot worse.
- Tiers are not ranked. A her that is higher on the list and is tier A+ is the same strength on the tier list as a hero with tier A+ lower on the list. Heroes within a tier are sorted alphabetically by name.
Team synergies are not specifically here, the heroes are ranked on their own and how many synergies they have in general. Ranking specific synergies would overcomplicate this list and might become useless in a later update when I put specific combinations into account.- My initial approach in trying to give heroes an individual ranking wasn’t the best way as you would normally pair them up in reality to get their biggest power. So, in this new version of the tier list is adapted to reflect that fact.
Hero Tier List
| Hero(es) | Role | Tier | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
 Aurora |
Tank | S | Amazing dodge mechanics |
 Ziri |
Tank | S | |
 Martha |
Tank & Support | S | Provides a ton of healing. Combined with Jorgen an ever crazier combination that will make you team basically invulnerable. |
 Jorgen |
Support & Control | S | Great shielding. Combined with Martha an ever crazier combination that will make you team basically invulnerable. |
K’arkh & Faceless |
Synergy | S | Faceless will throw enemies into the air and trigger K’arkh ability and even copy his skill. It’s like a neverending circle of dealing damage to the enemy and super powerful. |

Lars & Krista (The Twins) |
Damage | S | Will buff each other over and over until their damage will go straight through the roof. |
 Satori |
Mage | S | Serious damage dealer |
Jhu, Nebula & Thea |
Synergy | S | Nabula buffs Jhu’s attack by more than double the value and Thea’s passive skill makes Jhu use his skill a lot more frequently when in lower health. |
Keira & Andvari |
Synergy | S | Andvari provides extra stuns and protection for Keira. For Keira that’s a perfect surrounding condition to kill the enemy tank quick. |
Cleaver & Peppy |
Synergy | S | Crazy combination, Cleaver will damage himself and trigger Peppy’s skill that will deal direct damage. Just insane. |
Sebastian & Jet |
Synergy | S | Jet will add a lot of critical hit stats to every hero so they will deal a lot more damage and Sebastian adds a lot of viablility to them. Great backup combo. |
Elmir, Dorian & Daredevil |
Synergy | S | Elmir will jump in the backline to regenerate with his ability and Dorian will provide healing and give Elmir a health buff. Running them like this give you the option to run a damage dealing hero like Daredevil as well instead of a secondary tank. |
Arachne, Nebula & Heidi |
Synergy | S | Arachne will teleport in front of Nebula and leave the spot next to her empty. This will force Nebula to buff herself. As her buff will basically buff herself, Heidi will directly benefit a lot. |
 Dante |
Marksman | A+ | |
 Cleaver |
Tank & Control | A+ | Also a viable tank on his own. Would always recommend running with peppy but also does really well without her. |
 Astaroth |
Tank & Support | A+ | A super tank in Hero Wars and useful in pretty much every game mode and with almost any team setup. Can also resurrect. |
 Luther |
Tank & Control | A+ | good tank, easy to get and can counter several strong heroes well |
 Markus |
Healer & Support | A | Good healer. Nothing else. But a good healer is nothing bad. |
 Orion |
Mage | A | Very solid damage dealer, good synergies. |
 Dark Star |
Marksman & Control | A | Solid damage dealer |
 Astrid |
Warrior & Marksman | A | Serious damage but can be squishy sometimes. |
 Qing Mao |
Warrior | A | Percentage damage great against bosses and good synergy with Keira |
 Kai |
Mage | A | |
 Rufus |
Tank & Support | B+ | Good against magical affinity teams. Better in a defense team |
 Lilith |
Tank & Control | B+ | Defense teams |
 Chabba |
Tank & Control | B+ | Offense Team |
 Galahad |
Tank | B+ | good survivability, lifesteal. Solid damage (but less than Astroth). Works better in offense Team |
 Corvus |
Tank | B+ | Use in offense team. Good tank, boost Keira really well |
 Celeste |
Healer & Control | B+ | Good enemy healing control and ally support |
| Maya | Support | B+ | |
 Helios |
Mage & Support | B+ | |
 Fox |
Marksman | B+ | Niche role to counter. Blind ability useful against Keira. |
 Phobos |
Mage & Control (Niche) | B | |
 Ginger |
Marksman (Niche) | B | Strong damage early game but falls back later |
 Artemis |
Marksman (Niche) | B | |
 Ishmael |
Warrior (Niche) | B | actually really strong but easy to counter by many teams |
 Cornelius |
Mage & Support (Niche) | C | useful against magic enemies and super useful in campaign with one-shot kills |
 Lian |
Mage & Control (Niche) | C | Useful charm against Keira, but not that useful in general |
 Judge |
Mage & Support (Niche) | C | solid niche role countering later in the game |
 Morrigan |
C | boost Keira really well | |
 Mojo |
Mage & Support (Niche) | C | hard to max out and not really viable |
 Maya |
Healer & Mage | D | healer and poison is useful, but needs the right team |
 Yasmine |
D | ||
Whatever hero you use, make sure to max out glyphs and artifact FIRST. These boost your hero’s stat at the least cost to you. I never used Aurora because I started in mobile and she was terrible in mobile. Thought Galahad was really good though… The reason I said glyphs and artifacts because they use resources that you should have plenty of and it boosts the hero by at LEAST 20,000-40,000 points if you have them maxed out. It’s much easier than trying to increase rank or skins. A hero at violet +3 with maxed out artifact and glyphs will be more powerful than a hero at Orange +4 without any artifacts or glyphs.
Maya saves my team again and again with her healing. D? Not at all, she’s rated A or B on other sites. Damn. And Astorath is sooooo overrated in all of these. He dies in a blink of an eye even with resurrection. Horrible hero. And damn, Aurora? She needs all resources devoted to dodge. Qing Mao, Maya, and Alvanor paired with Aurora (Alvanor, who you don’t bother to list) are A to S heroes 100%.
Yeah. Maya saves my full team in Compagion but nowhere else. Definitely not D tier. About A-B tier. Yasmine is pretty deadly and kills my team in a blink of an eye. S-A tier. And Astaroth? He’s killed right after I left to take a drink of water. ( even with resurrection) Aurora is good enough when she’s very upgraded( violet rank, dodge high, Cain protanged…) Also, here’s what’s funny: WHY IS CELESTE B+ TIER?!? She’s the second-best healer in the game in all guides that I know except for this one. Definitely an S- tier.
EXACTLY! She’s a GREAT hero. I’ve been trying to beat her in the tower for months, and I always failed. She is a great hero, in my opinion, her attacks are super strong. For example, my sister’s heroes are at violet rank. She’s been fighting in the tower. And for her, Yasmine is at violet rank too, whenever she fights in the tower. My sister always loses her at least 3 out of 5 heroes because of Yasmine. Yasmine is an awesome hero. I LOVE Yasmine. She is very deadly, just like you said
really? you got Yasmine as the worst hero in the game??? she is deadly, constant poison and nearly unstoppable. she destroys teams like mad. this list is invalid
Same, I agree she’s been making my team fail from the tower, always leaves 3 out of 5 heroes dead and the remaining at low health. I recently summoned Yasmine and she’s been great. In my opinion she is a very strong hero.
What does tier “S” mean?
Do any of you like Lian and is she strong?
S tier is better than all the tiers, even better than A tier. S tier is sort of like a A++ tier.
Chabba survives well when upgraded I like how he just eats the enemy
Is there a web version of this somewhere?
Facebook.. if you mean the game
Luther is fairly good but he looses health too quickly so I have to wait until I can hit the opposing team really hard so he doesn’t die. If you use Astroath’s attack and his at the same time it can reduce some of the attack.
Markus’s ultimate skill will help Luther survive longer. You can put another healer for better support cause Markus can die too quickly.
No your playing the web version, I play both and the FB version i think is much harder because so many more play it
The list misses Thea (solo) and mentions Maya twice: D and B+.
Also, why is Yasmine ranked D? I think she can be quite powerful to clear opponents’ weak spots.
Why has this list changed so drastically in just two weeks??
Yeah ??? i don’t get it
Warum tauscht Isaac noch nicht auf?
Is luther really good?
imo luther is a good tank, however he is vulnerable to magic damage and cant compare to tanks such as asteroth who will survive much better overall. he is good to pair with asteroth since they both have good health pools and luther will benefit from asteroth’s blue skill.
he is good at distracting the other team but his health is really bad so when he teleports to the other team you are gonna have to end the battle really quick or you’ll lose him
In facebook you have max of 20 skill points.
Kai is the very best hero and that is a fact
just because you write it here doesn’t make it a fact 😉
I play on my computer, not on facebook and not on a moble device. My guess is that I play the facebook version, but I can’t confirm that. Can anyone help me out with this?
anything other than hero wars app on mobile can be considered the same as facebook, so yes, you play facebook.
