I was working long to create this tier list that should help you to identify the heroes in TapTap Heroes that you should go for and invest your resources in and I also update it frequently.
My personal problem with many other tier lists have been that I found them either being too generic to provide much value or listing the same heroes over and over again in one tier without any additional information.
Also, other tier lists almost never give any recommendation to artifacts – and we all know how artifact can change the way a hero performs in TapTap Heroes, right?
Update! Added Sattario and enhanced some details about builds

Hero Tiers With Runes/Artifacts & Talents
So, here we go with the tier list of the best heroes.
Cosmic Freya provides almost broken support, even if she's like 6-Star. Crazy damage for just being on your team (even when she dies) and when you fully build her deals crazy damage herself, too.

Tier SCosmic Phoenix deals high damage, is hard to kill and provides team buffs - what else could you ask for? No doubt, a great here in Tap Tap Heroes, but also one that's very expensive if you want him to actually deal damage.

Tier SNeeds to be high-level to sustaina nd survive but then deals incredible reflect damage when under cc and can get any enemy in real trouble.

Tier SShe's a clear support hero with her crowd control and also her high damage buff provided for her allies that can enable great burst builds.

Tier SQuite high potential but requires a ton of invest and someone to die to be effective (so don#t run him against bosses) - but then he really is able to deal vrazy burst damage.

Tier SHis bomb can make him run in PvP well and he can deal good damage and off tank as well but can be unreliable here and there.

Tier A+Although used to be overpowered, the other S-Tier heroes in TapTap Heroes seem to have put him into place. Still really versatile and works in pretty much any team but 1-on-1 struggles against the new heroes here in S-Tier.

Azathoth is now in S Tier for me, with good invests he's able to keep up with the other heroes in the S Tier so I slightly ranked him up from top of the A Tier. He's a good tank and can also counter revives and does well against Vivienne/Ould/Skuld/Nyx healing at T5. He is able to move the battle into your favor but the investment is quite high to make him that viable. If you do, he's clearly a really good hero to run.

Tier A+Ould provides over-the-top amounts of healing and support for the team as well and has the ability to do multiple revives.

Tier A+Skuld is no good tank but amazing support and makes pretty much any team better. She is vital for any PvP team as well.

Tier A+Brynhild is viable in PvP and PvE with her ridiculous crowd control, enhanced by healing, the damage she can deal and survivability. She also can make easy comebacks as the last survivor of your team against a full enemy team.

Sigurd works great in PvP with his amazing energy control abilities, but to make him vital in PvE you need to pair with heroes providing good amounts of damage. Works really well for bosses.

Saizou went up and done here. Now with his recent buff he's one of the best heroes for bosses in Tap Tap Heroes plus great source of bleed poison for Void and can work in burst PvP teams.

Arwen (special niche case!). Arwen herself is not in the A Tier, but the reason I still have her up here instead of having her in the B Tier is that she's doing so amazing against Void Boss and PvP. She has her problems in 1v1 situations, no doubt, so she's hard to tune for PvP. Still, I feel she should not be in B Tier for the special use case she has (Void Boss).

Tier B+Can counter Cosmic Skuld in high-end builds and requires a lot in the tema to be set up correctly to make her work well.
Vivienne has great healing and support, sometimes healing is almost broken good. That makes her hard to kill and she can off-tank with energy. Also helps timeouts in PvP.

Tier BPhoenix is more viable in PvE than in PvP but can make crazy bursts. Great for pushing in PvE but can be RNG cheesy. In PvP offers nice burst and can also tank but lacks in terms of the energy he provides.

Tier BVegvisir is a solid tank with some crowd control and support. He used to be higher on the list but with T5 other heroes have just become so much better that he has been falling off a little. Works best in burst setups with other control heroes.

Rascal is one of the heroes that got introduced later into the game and has found his way into the meta. His sleep gives good crowd control and his damage output is also great. The only pitfall for him is, that you need to fine-tune his speed according to the team correctly to make him perform at his full potential.

Tier BValkyrie had quite some history in TapTap Heroes and is a good damage dealer early on. She used to fall off and became more a support hero in late game but since the recent patch that buffed her, she's doing crazy heals and deals much more damage later in the game. Still, after I had her in the A Tier and ranked her down for the same reason I ranked down the heroes above, the new heroes that have been recently released are simply so strong.

Tier CBaal deals good damage and I like how his overall kit works, pretty solid and rounded without pitfalls. He can sometimes snowball solo against a full team and get you the victory and doesn't require much to use. It's the overall package that I think makes him one of the heroes in Tap Tap Heroes that you really want to run. Although he's been falling off a little recently so I ranked him now a little lower (due to the new stronger heroes that have been released this year).

Tier CKurtulmak is insane in PvE with his crazy high damage output and his defense is good enough to pushing in PvE. However, and that's his only flaw, he gets pretty much wrecked in PvP as enemies can bypass his skill damage reduction so he can't perform his biggest advantage there. But, same as Baal, has been falling off a little recently so ranked lower now.

Hodur is a ranking that I need to explain. On his own he's having a hard time, but if you can pair him with a T5 Aegina (I know that's a significant invest), he is able to maintain a good defense and able to ramp up big damage. In this setup, he's viable and useful but with the newer heroes that have been released recently I have ranked him a little lower and now in the B Tier as he quite can't keep up with them anymore.
Tier CThemis was ranked lower before T5, as her damage was really squishy and nothing you could rely on. With T5, her damage becomes much more reliable and she's able to do big hits that have an impact.

Tier CVerthandi is the last one I have in this tier and it might be debatable for some players, so please let me explain. She has solid damage and is also a solid tank but that would be more on par with a B Tier hero.

Tier CChessia deals extreme damage but you need to keep her alive so can be squishy. Great against bosses with her energy denial as well. But needs a team that fit her.
Tier CAegina can be strong and deal good damage with her dot but needs defensive help here and there. Her T5 gives her a good buff but is quite some invest and needs the right team setup to perform well.

Tier CYmir is an outstanding PvP hero and there's two ways to utilize him. One is having him a few Stars lower than the other heroes and build him for HP and surviving and he will still enrich your PvP squad by a lot. If you have hima t the same Star level as the rest in your team, go all-in and speed & energy and he will outspeed any enemy.

Ripper has nice dodge mechanics that make him a suitable tank but more a hero for the earlier parts of TapTap Heroes as he falls off quickly.

Tier CJett is also relatively new and is, unfortunately, not the Nyx countering hero that we all hoped for. He does deal good damage to Nyx but it's simply not enough. His frontline disarm can be good for interruption and also can do decent damage, but I'm honest that is not enough to be any significant right now.

Tier CLindberg has, first of all, a really high investment and you will need his skin to make him work well. He is squishy, although has a high kill potential if he hits. Overall, you can find better options above.

Lightning has solid damage and also buffing other damage dealers. Altogether not a bad kit but you can find better heroes for all situations.

Tier DShudde M'ell has been falling off a lot T4 and now with T5 she can be a decent buffer and solid crowd control, but that's not enough for me - especially looking at the invest - to rank her any higher.
Tier DLorely is not doing too much. The damage is okayish at most but she can deal decent damage in a mage team in the right setup.

Tier DMalorne is hard to grasp right now. He keeps heroes alive a little longer and that's pretty much all he can do - but there are other heroes that can do that either better or come with more additional abilities so I can't rally recommend building him right now (but I assume he will jump into the meta at some later point with some re-balancing or another new hero being released).
Mulan has great dodge and can tank Void Boss and apply bleed. Also okay to counter mages, but overall not doing more.

Tier DDettlaff was kind of dead-buffed. The berserk mode stopped him from being a good hero for timeouts in PvP and he's still decent PvE. But he used to be so much better.

Tier DMonkey King has damage that is not outstanding but solid and reliable and also can tank with Bone Grip, but is not in the meta right now (anymore).

Tier DLeo has this instant team buff that can have very specific cases but they are so specific and rare that I simply can't rank him higher, especially as his damage output is really squishy.

Tier DFreya used to be one of the top heroes and can still be viable in PvE. The problem is that her damage is simply not high enough anymore to burst through T5 teams and also RNG relying, so she also fails a lot.

Tier DMars used to have nice damage and crowd control as well for PvE but his T5 let him fall off a lot compared to other heroes, so not really that viable anymore.

Tier DDrow works against burst and her silence can also be useful, but her low hit rate make her somewhat squishy and not reliable. Has some anti-healing potential niche uses.

Watchman is primarily strong for high-end burst teams but needs a lot of HP. Also, quite hard to play as you need to fine-tune his speed really well into your team.

Yig has his taunting that can be highly disruptive. Pair with a team with good damage to have a good PvE hero but also rely heavily on RNG.
Tier DMedusa is extremely squishy to play, especially in late to end-game. Just lacks overall.

Tier FXexanoth, uff, is just... ew. Theoretically, for silent teams with Shudde you could make use of him but still doesn't deliver enough damage and there are so many better options.
Tier FLuna is actually a nice tank in trials with Tears of the Goddess. In PvP she has trouble against cc teams.

Lexar deals insane damage but is really squishy to play and not reliable. With T5 he can get, theoretically, infinite energy but I think we need more time to see where he will find his tier.

Tier FNameless King. Even though you can define if you want him to go crit, attack or def break depending on the attack artifact you're using, there's not much useful about him in the current state.

I think Valkrie now going to tier S, but this web like dead,
merci pour la mise a jour toujours aussi interessant surtout pour les nouoveaux personnages
Hello I would like you to put images to the talents, I really like the guide, but I don’t understand it much in the part of the talents. I wish they would make videos and the character combinations.
Do you have a Youtube channel?
You don’t have YouTube channel?
Lorely can smash a nyx sometimes with crit dmg rune and ragnarok artifact
super et tres interessante ta mise a jour continue comme ca : )
Dude, you should update this walkthrough, a lot of changes have taken place in game. It’s a nice walkthrough.
j’attends impatiemment la mise a jour de ta page qui est très intéressante
For verthandi i thought better use speed/hp, dmg reduce, control resist and dodge rune if want to make her as tank? So more durability? Or still better to put attack? And for ripper 2nd talent better with true dmg? Why dmg reduction better? Pls explain tq
like other reviews, Ripper is a bit underestimated. He should be a A(A) I think. Also the most cost effective hero in this game.
This is an old tier list.
Vivienne and Vegvisir are now top tier heroes:
Is scarlet really that trash? Or you forgot to add her?
Pure bs. Theres alot of top heroes thats not on your small list.
If there isn’t a hero, it means that he is under rank B?
Yes and not worth using
