There are many characters in King Arthur Legends Rise and investing and building them is not a quick effortless action – so I have ranked all characters here to give you a general idea which characters you should invest in early and prioritize to not waste resources on a character that will fall off later in the game and become useless.
Best Characters Ranked Tier List
If you like gacha team-building games, you might think you have see it all but King Arthur Legend Rise has some very interesting things for the genre:
- rare and uncommon heroes are a lot more viable, you are not depending on having all legenaries
- weather and environmental curcumstances are playing a role in your hero performance which makes team-building and syerngies even more inportant than in other games where you simply can powercreep over everything
Updated! Added the first impressions on the new hero Vivan and final ranking for Iweret
Please mind that characters are divided by rarity as legendary characters, when fully build, will be simply a lot stronger than rare one, etc.

She is not bad, actually she is a good healer but honestly right now I see most players have their healers set and she is not a hero that changes the healing game so yu can skip her without serious consequences but if you want her and you still need a very good healer in your roaster you can also pull her and she will help you out. That said, up to you if you want to pull her or not but I personally think espcially lower spenders should rather wait out what hero the next banner will bring.

Absolutely wild hero in King Arthur Legend Rise. He deals great damage and then his relics have so many benefits where you can either buff your team, gain immunities or debuff the enemy. Absolutely worth pulling and building.

Iweret
S
Makes a super strong appearence right off the bat with one negative aspect that has to be pointed out - she relies a lot on landing crit strikes, especially with the Flame Relic, so you will need the ideal gear to make her kit roll like th steamtrain it is. If you can make that happen, she is a beast..

Guinevere
S
Attacks single targets with a high chance to remove all of targets buffs, but her shielding is the main reason why this hero works so well right now. Only a small number of heroes can help your team stay alive as flexible as she does it and she is so strong in many modes that you have to farm every day that she is easily worth the banner.

Primarily great to suppress enemy Gauge and reduce it constantly while also dealing damage make her a really useful hero that you can use in so many modes and situations. And this is a mechanic that will continously be helpful so building and investing into him can carry you quite a while.

Morgan
S
Attacks single targets with a chance to sleep them to postpone their skills and synergy disruption. Can work well when you can orchastrate it well in PvE and has great potential in PvP as well but that depends more on the setup you're facing. Her damage falls off later so she can't be your main damage dealer in King Arthur Legend Rise, but that is not her role anyway and some players tend to believe that since she does a lot of damage very early..

Great AoE damage dealer through damage-over-time effects. But some parts of the kit rely on Day / Heat as condition and I also feel his relics could have a little bit more difference as they all seem too similar to really think about adapting them.

Attacks single targets and buffs up his own Critical Strike rate. Overall quite a selfish character and takes investment to be useful and early game you will find this hero quite lackluster since you will most likely lack the gear to make his kit roll well..

Abnormal Status Immunity which can be incredibly powerful and other buffs make her a nice heror to use in all cases - with the downside that you have all her relics so you can use the one you need. Which is a downside since she is not an easy plug-and-play hero in King Arthur Legend Rise.

Forget all the parts around, his main treat here is reducing your passive cooldown and battery gauge for your team. Overall neat but he is the hero that charges your team and if your team is bad, he won't change much. But with a good team, he skyrockets it which makes him an universally plug-and-play hero in King Arthur Legends Rise.

A part between tank and support since she can take over damage, heal or taun (depending what relic you use). The marking is nice but also her gear needs to be set right or she will quickly get herself in trouble when she takes over too much ftom her allies.

Lot
A
Deals damage and also is able to suppress enemy skills. His hybrid functionality, however, doesn't make him a good damage dealer and he is by design no supporter so you need a support hero on top of him in your team... but without many heroes that can control enemy skills he often finds himself a good spot in teams..

I personally find Bedivere just better since she needs a lot of time to actually build up her snowballing crit-rolling train and deals a lot of damage. I mean, espcially early when you just don't have the gear to really make her hit those crits reliably she is not a great choice and later when crit res becomes more a thing she also starts having a harder time again. This is the pickle she is in the in the current balancing so be aware of that.

Florentius
B
He is one funky hero in King Arthur legends Rise... he has strong status effects for the enemies but his basic attack has s super low proc chance and without much damage overall he is only useful for those status effects - and if they don't proc you wasted a team slot. Hit or miss is often his credo and unless you really need to apply control effects a lot he is not too helpful and even then, heroes like Lot and Morgan just do it a lot better.

Tristan
B
Easy to build and helpful where you have to deal with shields that require a certain amount of hits to break... his way to scale through Attack Speed is funky and as an attacker, frankly, his damage output is lackluster. In the beginning you don't have the gear to make his kit really smash and later when you have the gear other heroes deal so much more damage that it's not actually worth it... there is literally no point where you make great use of him but since you get him in the campaign early on building him to a certain point and run him in modes where he works well is othing to underestimate. Just don't invest too much into him this will set you back somewhere else.

Anguish
S+
Works against all bosses. He applies DoT (I know he is a control class hero) and then uses that to steal all enemy buffs. Then you have him working around with boss buffs which makes him incredibly powerful and the boss is stripped naked basically, scaling as well and a hero to build and max beyond any doubt in King Arthur Legends Rise.

Straightforward damage output and with multiple hits she works around high evasion and also deals with shields that needs a certain amount of hits to break really well. Actually one of the strongest rare heroes in King Arthur Legend Rise and also good against bosses. Her healing disruption also becomes valuable more often than not so building her is for sure nothing you will regret..

Great healing and AoE healing and can clear debuffs. Basically the archetype of a support hero in King Arthur Legend Rise and for sure a hero you will use for a long time. If you build her well, have good gear on her and see that she is not able to keep your team alive anymore, you can be sure you reached endgame content.

Can disrupt healing and sleep and deals actually some damage as well. Sleep is the most powerful control effect and the proc chances are great with him so there is that. The damage and heal disruption are just additional cherries on top here. One of the strongest and do-not-wait-and-build rare heroes in King Arthur Legend Rise!.

Amazing leader skill but her bleeds and self-healing make her sustain and deal quite some damage in the long run. She is selfish and does her thing, which is dealing damage and self-healing a bit so your support hero has a hand free for the other heroes in your team. She does what she is supposed to do but needs some fine-tuning on her gear to really work well. Also, her Flame Relic rolls a lot smoother than the other ones!.

Super versatile accross all relics and althugh he is the main character of the game, he has a more subtle role in the meta. Still, solid damage and the way he buffs or debuffs enemies is his shining role that he plays rather silently but that still makes him on of the stronger rare heroes in the game - but don't get fooled since it is a lot easier to build him tha he is very powerful. He is just a little ahead in development of your other heroes in the beginning stages and reality will put him in place once you reach mid-game content.

Buffs a lot and heals but there are a couple things to know. First, she is not a healer that normally can heal up your whole team as a lot os heal over time. The buffs are strong, but you need the heroes that can carry since you will need another healing hero along her so she is in a funky spot in the meta right now..

Tanks, deals some damage since it scales from good stats for him and also taunts (I mentioned with Baudwin why this is so good)... Overall nothing special but he doesn't have to be to be a good tank, espcially early on since you don't need many stat thresholds.

We don't have many tanks in the game so this gives him already a role. First of all, this hero ahs probably the most similar skill kit among his relics of all heroes so it literally is no difference which one you use. His overall kit is nice, he is a meatshield that an silence and remove DoT from himself and buffs defense. The one thing that seems nice in the beginning, him sharing final damage, becomes more and more his weakpoint the further you progress since it will lopside the damage a lot for your support hero since all heroes still get damage but he gets more so you need single-target healing for him and still AoE healing for your whole team. I like taunting more here where your team is save and your healer focus on your tank than this, but especially early a tank hero you can easily use well..

His kit in a nutshell is stealing buffs from his target and then use his skill to transfer those to your allies. Overall, he has healing, some damage and at the end of the day removes buffs from enemies and randomly buffs allies. It works, although not universally and it works the best when you encounter a setup that has strong buffs but still has a significant RNG element to it (like what buffs does his target have, when does his skill cooldown ends so you can steal it). He is for sure no auto-raid plug-and-play hero. But worst case you have a mediocre healer that deals some damage which is not the worst in the world.

He is like a rare version of Tristan and honestly, it doesn't work with Tristan and since you get Tristan for free early in the campaign there is so little need to build him. He is okay for enemy gauge reduction but there are better heroes as well in the game so I am actually willing to die on that hill that you can totally ignore building him and get away with it..

Uriens
B
There is a lot going on here with him and he has gone through several rework stages since the first beta in King Arthur Legends Rise... first, his damage scales of HIS max HP on top of ATK now, not target max HP. So you have an attacker that you build like an attacker but at the same time he also sacrifices HP to use his skills and self-heals. It's just a kit that is not that worthwile for more anymore. back when he dealt damage based on target max HP, he was great to use against bosses but with the way he works now he is hard to build and balance and there are so many oother great rare damage dealer that there is no use-case. I like the counterattack he contributes but still, there are easier ways to make a team work than pull up with his over-complicated kit.

They have pathed him up and down so much in the past year in the betas and now again and here's my take. He always goes from being incredibly overpowered to absolutely trash. So, if you use him when being overpowered (which he currently is again) and build him up instead of another hero and then the next patch he will be trash again for a few months, you have bound your resources until he is good again. I honestly, and I know I will get roasted in DMs and comments for that, to ignore him. The devs can't get his kit balanced and he either is too strong and get nerfed or useless and I don#t want to recommend people to go on that rollercoaster..

Uncommon Characters
Here are the uncommon characters
Tarzhaden
S
This little (not so innocent looking) uncommon hero has a ton of things ready. First, the damage is there and don't be fooled about that the multipliers make up for the low rarity and he is disruptive since you can force targets to use their Skill 3, there is targeting for the lowest HP targets which is always nice in auto battles and his immunity that last for the whole battle makes him the strongest uncommon rarity hero in King Arthur Legends Rise for me.

Djerit
A
One of the more interesting kits just looking at the mechanics. He is uncommon but he uses a ton of DoT effects that scale on target stats, that makes him easy to build and working in DoT teams easily as well - he inflicts strong DoT on himself but as he also clears those effects he works with a solid support really well and is one of the few uncommon heroes to actually build to make a strong DoT team.

Maoul

Straightforward damage dealer with defense debuff that has a high procc chance. So, he is not crazy strong or anything and in the perspective of being an uncommon hero so scaling is an issue at some point.... he is easy to build and actually scales pretty much most setups which makes him a really nice hero among his rarity.

Amelia

Can heal, which is alright but primarily she is the only hero to frequently decrease enemy Vigor which delays their skills. I think she will become more relevant when PvP modes come in more so having her on the list is something I can only recommend you to do.

Honestly, his heal block is nice if you run against setups or bosses early where healing is too much, but so many other heroes have that as well. His Piercing Buff is interesting but when you would actually use him there is not too much need for it (at least I haven't been in a situation where I said to myself... oh some piercing would be nice now) and I think later he is not relevant anymore. A decent early-game hero to build a tad to use against Frost Bear and other bosses until you replace him.

Rollo is wild. I mean all his kit is mediocre and not too interesting but he has the ability to remove enemies from the battleground - but the chance is super low.
