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
Of course people will have different opinions here so if you want to start a discussion please go ahead and drop a comment at the end of the page

Hero Tiers With Runes/Artifacts & Talents
So, here we go with the tier list of the best heroes.

NyxS+Nyx is in how own tier. There's no way to put him in the S Tier and then also have other heroes there, simply for the reason that he is the overly broken good hero in TapTap Heroes... he deals tons of damage and is also hard to kill, a combination that is just insane. You can use him to your needs and put HP on him and let him tank or put ATK on him and see him deal loads of damage. I don't know if the developers have any plans to nerf him anytime soon, but right now he has his own tier on this tier list and there can't be one player seriously disagreeing.Role: Damage Dealer & TankBuild: any artifact will work with him and Mythic Runes should be HP, Storm Attack or VitalityT1: SpeedT2: Dmg RedT3: 1x resistT5 Priority: anytimePeaks Arena: SpeedAll Codes
Cosmic FreyaSCosmic 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.Role: Damage & SupportBuild: use Speed Mythic RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: anyT5 Priority: anytimePeaks Arena: SpeedAll Codes
Cosmic PhoenixSCosmic 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.Role: Damage & SupportBuild: T1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: anyT5 Priority: anytimePeaks Arena: All Codes
SkuldSSkuld is no good tank but amazing support and makes pretty much any team better. She is vital for any PvP team as well.Role: SupportBuild: As artifacts run Tears of the Goddess or Holy Light Justice and for mythic Rune I recommend SpeedT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: mid Peaks Arena: SAll Codes
OuldSOuld is relatively new in TapTap heroes but already a secure candidate for the S-Tier. She provides over-the-top amounts of healing and support for the team as well and has the ability to do multiple revives.Role: SupportBuild: For artifact go with Hourglass or Tears of the Goddess and the Speed Mythic Rune will do well with her.T1: anyT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: mid Peaks Arena: SAll Codes
BrynhildSBrynhild belongs in the S-Tier for sure as well, she's 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.Role: DamageBuild: Berserker's Axe or Tears of the Goddess or maybe also Ragnarok are great artifacts for her and Mythic Rune is all about Storm Attack.T1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: anytimePeaks Arena: SAll Codes
KoshkaSKoshka is the last hero I see in the S Tier in the current meta of TapTap Heroes. She's a clear support hero with her crowd control and also her high damage buff provided for her allies.Role: SupportBuild: With Hourglass, Tears of the Goddess or Blood Medal you can't go wrong as artifacts and Mythic Rune should be Speed.T1: SpeedT2: Damage ReductionT3: ReflectT5 Priority: mid Peaks Arena: SAll Codes
SigurdSSigurd 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.Role: Damage & SupportBuild: Hourglass, Tears of the Goddess or Ragnarok are fine artifacts with Sigurd and combine it with the Speed mythic Rune for the best build.T1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: earlyPeaks Arena: All Codes
AzathothSAzathoth 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.Role: Support and some tankBuild: Tears of the Goddess, Bone Grip or Eternal Flame are great artifacts for him and add the Speed mythic Rune, too.T1: SpeedT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: AAll Codes
SattarioA+Great damage dealer, espcially in PvE content but lacks heavily in PvP and mind the fact that you have to invest a ton in him to make him good before starting to prioritize him.Role: Damage DealerBuild: As artifact go with Crown of the Ancients or Berserker's Axe if possible, Ragnarok or Flame can be backup and HP or Vitality Mythic Rune should do the trick with him.T1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: earlyPeaks Arena: AAll Codes
VivienneA+Vivienne has great healing and support, sometimes healing is almost broken good. That makes her hard to kill and she can even tank with energy. Also helps timeouts in PvP.Role: SupportBuild: Tears of the Goddess, Eternal Grail or Ancient Vows as artifact combined with the Speed Mythic Rune is the best setup for her.T1: anyT2: Damage ReductionT3: dependsT5 Priority: earlyPeaks Arena: SAll Codes
PhoenixAPhoenix 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.Role: Support and some tankBuild: Tears of the Goddess or Blood Medal artifact + Speed Mythic RuneT1: Speed or HPT2: Damage ReductionT3: ReflectT5 Priority: mid Peaks Arena: All Codes
SaizouASaizou 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.Role: Damage DealerBuild: Berserker's Axe or Giant Lizard combined with the Critical Damage Mythical Rune works well for him.T1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: SpeedT5 Priority: earlyPeaks Arena: SAll Codes
RascalARascal 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.Role: Support and some damageBuild: Tears of the Goddess and combine with either Attack or Defense Break Mythic RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: Self CritT5 Priority: mid Peaks Arena: SAll Codes
ArwenB+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).Role: Burst damage to single tragetsBuild: Critical Damage Mythic RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: Self CritT5 Priority: should be the first onePeaks Arena: AAll Codes
VegvisirBVegvisir 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.Role: Tank & SupportBuild: Tears of the Goddess or Queen's Crown combined with Speed Mythic Rune is the best buildT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: Self CritT5 Priority: earlyPeaks Arena: All Codes
BaalBBaal 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).Role: Burst area damageBuild: Ragnarok or Giant Lizard artifact combined with either Critical Damage or Defense Break mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: anytimePeaks Arena: AAll Codes
KurtulmakBKurtulmak 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.Role: Burst area damageBuild: Ragnarok or Tears of the Goddess artifact and Defense Break Mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 50% AttackT5 Priority: after SkuldPeaks Arena: AAll Codes
HodurBHodur 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.Role: Support and some damageBuild: Oracle or Soul Torrent artifact combined with Ht Rate Mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: dependsT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: All Codes
ValkyrieBValkyrie 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...Role: Damage and some supportBuild: Ragnarok artifact, nothing else, and then add either Defense Break or Attack Mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: ControlT5 Priority: earlyPeaks Arena: SAll Codes
ThemisBThemis 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.Role: Burst area damageBuild: Ragnarok or Tears of the Goddess artifact combined with Defense Break mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: AAll Codes
VerthandiBVerthandi 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.Role: Tank & SupportBuild: Tears of the Goddess or Gift of Creation as artifact and combine with the Attack mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: firstPeaks Arena: AAll Codes
ChessiaBChessia 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.Role: Burst area damageBuild: Starshards or Dragonblood works well as artifact and Defense Break is, in my opinion, the best mythical Rune on her.T1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: latePeaks Arena: SAll Codes
AeginaBAegina 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.Role: Damage dealerBuild: Tears of the Goddess or Ragnarok artifact and then add either Defense Break Mythical Rune or Speed.T1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: dependsT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: SAll Codes
YmirBYmir 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.Role: Damage & SupportBuild: Ragnarok or Tears of the Goddess artifact combined with either HP or Speed Mythical RuneT1: HP or SpeedT2: Damage ReductionT3: dependsT5 Priority: anytimePeaks Arena: All Codes
RipperC+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.Role: Damage dealerBuild: Ragnarok or Tears of the Goddess combined with Defense Break mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: dependsT5 Priority: firstPeaks Arena: AAll Codes
JettC+Jett 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.Role: Damage and some supportBuild: Ragnarok or Tears of the Goddess as artifacts along with either Defense Break or Speed Mythical Rune.T1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: ControlT5 Priority: latePeaks Arena: AAll Codes
LightningCLightning has solid damage and also buffing other damage dealers. Altogether not a bad kit but you can find better heroes for all situations.Role: Damage and some supportBuild: Ragnarok or Tears of the Goddess as artifacts along with either Defense Break or Speed Mythical Rune.T1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: ControlT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: All Codes
Shudde M'ellCShudde 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.Role: SupportBuild: Use either Soul Torrent or Light Pace as artifact and she works best with Speed Mythical RuneT1: SpeedT2: Damage ReductionT3: dependsT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: All Codes
LoreleyCLorely 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.Role: Support and some damageBuild: Queen's Crown or Ragnarok artifact and either Speed or Defense Break mythical RuneT1: SpeedT2: Damage ReductionT3: Self CritT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: All Codes
LindbergCLindberg 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.Role: Burst damage to single tragetsBuild: Holy Light Justice or Tears of the Goddess artifact and combine with Hit Rate or Speed Mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: SAll Codes
MalorneDMalorne 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).Role: Support for defenseBuild: HP Mythical RuneT1: HPT2: Damage ReductionT3: dependsT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: All Codes
MulanDMulan has great dodge and can tank Void Boss and apply bleed. Also okay to counter mages, but overall not doing more.Role: Tank and some damageBuild: Bone Grip or Ragnarok as artifact and Dodge Mythical RuneT1: dependsT2: Damage ReductionT3: ControlT5 Priority: latePeaks Arena: BAll Codes
DettlaffDDettlaff 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.Role: Burst damage to single targetsBuild: Ragnarok or Giant Lizard artifact and he works well with Defense Break or Critical Damage as mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: dependsT5 Priority: firstPeaks Arena: All Codes
Monkey KingDMonkey 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).Role: Tanks and some damageBuild: Use Ragnarok or Bone Grip as artifact and Defense Break for Mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: earlyPeaks Arena: SAll Codes
LeoDLeo 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.Role: Burst damage to single targetsBuild: Ragnarok or Tears of the Goddess are well-working artifacts for him and Defense Break as Mythical Rune should work best.T1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 50% AttackT5 Priority: anytimePeaks Arena: All Codes
FreyaDFreya 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.Role: Damage dealerBuild: Tears of the Goddess or Ragnarok and Defense Break or Speed Mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: anytimePeaks Arena: All Codes
MarsDMars 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.Role: Damage dealerBuild: Ragnarok or Tears of the Goddess with Defense Break Mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: All Codes
DrowDDrow 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.Role: SupportBuild: Tears of the Goddess or Star Pray artifact and Speed Mythical RuneT1: SpeedT2: Damage ReductionT3: Self CritT5 Priority: Peaks Arena: SAll Codes
WatchmanDWatchman 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.Role: SupportBuild: Tears of the Goddess or Ancient Vows and use the HP Mythical RuneT1: dependsT2: Damage ReductionT3: dependsT5 Priority: latePeaks Arena: BAll Codes
YigDYig 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.Role: Support and can tank a littleBuild: Light Pace, Oracle or Bone Grip as artifact work fine and use the Speed Mythical RuneT1: Speed

XexanothFXexanoth, 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.Role: Burst damage to single targetsBuild: Giant Lizard or Eternal Curse artifact and Defense Break Mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: Peaks Arena: SAll Codes
LunaFLuna is actually a nice tank in trials with Tears of the Goddess. In PvP she has trouble against cc teams.Role: Damage dealer and a little bit tankingBuild: Tears of the Goddess or Queen's Crown artifact and use Speed Mythical RuneT1: SpeedT2: Damage ReductionT3: Self CritT5 Priority: Peaks Arena: All Codes
LexarFLexar 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.Role: Damage DealerBuild: Ragnarok artifact and Defense Break Mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 50% AttackT5 Priority: midPeaks Arena: All Codes
Nameless KingFNameless 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.Role: Damage DealerBuild: Giant Lizard or Gift of Creation artifact and Defense Break or Critical Chance Rate Mythical RuneT1: AttackT2: Damage ReductionT3: 1x ResistT5 Priority: Peaks Arena: BAll Codes

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
