Maxing out a hero in Idle Heroes is a long process and you only want to contribute that effort for the best heroes that are worth it in the long ring, right?
We have developed a tier list here that will show you how viable and useful a hero is in Idle Heroes, both PvE (boss fights, Broken Spaces, Flame Shrine) and PvP.
The viability of a hero in PvE most circles around maximizing the damage you will deal with 3-4 damage dealers in your team and 2-3 support heroes that will boost the damage of your damage dealers by break/reduce armor as well as adding burn/bleed synergy and survivability.
In PvP there’s more a focus on disruption and preventing active skills of the enemy team as you want to shut them down as effectively as you can. Also support heroes that will help your team to stay alive effectively are rated high in the PvP section of the tier list.
The total rating is a mix of PvP and PvE. Please mind that you should check out what your focus is – if you don’t do PvP at all you only want to look at the PvE column and vice versa

Thank you for this tier list. It is really informative and is helping to build a good team from the beginning. I’ve only just now built my first E5 Inosuke so I’m planning my second.
What is s and ss?????????
The heroes mentioned are elite heroes only – anything less than that is not worth mentioning because you really should not be using them.
where is flamestrike
Is she that bad?
There’s no Gusta, Norma, or Malassa? Are they that bad?
TIX IT IS TIX
Why not Dominator?
Nice list!
one small error though: Belrain is listed twice one rates her as “C+” the other rates her as “C”.
