I wanted to write a full tier list for AFK Arena for a reason – most lists I saw either used old data and didn’t really include the latest balancing changes or they simply listed some heroes.
For me, a tier list also includes some explanation of why a hero is S+ or why another hero isn’t. This is why I wanted to make a full list for the heroes that you should go after and that you want to have and ascend/level up in AFK Arena. Still, I also have several heroes in there that are worth using in mid-game and extremely helpful so having them is not a waste of time.
Overall Hero Tier List in AFK Arena
Here are heroes that perform well in all game modes and that you should always aim for and ascend and level up. Please mind that this list assumes the same ascension level for the heroes so you will see Hypogeans and Celestial heroes quite high although they are really hard to ascend.
Super IMPORTANT Info! Please read!
This tier list prioritizes for the end-game without short-term meta. If you want to decide what hero you want to build next you can compare them below. The problem with many tier lists is that they rank heroes that counter a strong hero will become ranked super high – this means a hero in S Tier can easily become B Tier after one balancing update or new hero release. This doesn’t happen in AFK Arena frequently, though, and you rather see a hero drop slowly. Good example is Talene that was top-notch tier in 2019 and mid-2020 and now is just average.
In my list, I want to give you the look for the endgame and what heroes will help you there so a hero performance in early or mid-game is not included in the ranking (although you find that ranking for early/mid game in the table). Neither the early nor the mid-game in AFK Arena is the place where people get stuck, it’s the endgame when players simply don’t have built the heroes they need. Also, building heroes that are good in mid game often become useless or almost useless in end game so you have invested resources into a hero that will get you stuck.
Important! Don’t miss out on the latest gift codes in AK Arena and check back my frequently updated list of active codes here. Also you might want to keep an eye on the AFK Journey game which is so much fun!
Updated! First impressions on the new heroes Valeri (please be careful, the reddit hype train is already running hot without really understanding the pitfalls of his kit, a good hero for F2P through).
New Heroes
New heroes for quick reference
Tier AThe hype train for him is real and with multiple cheat death for each ally and self + a lot of additional utility I don't see why not... unless that this all is tied to not getting shield broken and with the constant energy drain he rarely ults to get that up. Very much carry for Mauler Tower but other than that invest very carefully as I am shocked how overhyped some sources have him without really understanding his kit. For F2P still a very solid invest just don't take it too far.
Tier SReally strong support with amazaing utility and heal.
Tier SAbsolutely busted kit, making her a top-tier tank in AFK Arena whose powerful shields, crowd control, and anti-carry disruption make her an essential asset for PvP, boss battles, and team survivability.
Tier SWhen paired with Athena will just mel enemies away with great scaling posibilities.
All Heroes
All heroes sorted by total tier
Tier S+Absolute nuts hero that will take out everything in every mode and is not even depending on his ult for that. If you're not building him right now you will miss out big time!.
Tier S+Basically great in all modes. Damage dealer, healer, energy buffer.
Tier S+Lots of DPS and reduce enemy PRs and knocking them down and overall has a lot of debuffing and cc going on and does already look more than solid, even at 1 copy for compaign for newer players. I don't think you will go very wrong with him long-term.
Tier S+One of the best buffers in the game and works great in pretty much all game modes.
Tier S+Best supporter in the game in my opinion and buffs all damage and can work everywhere great.
Tier S+Quite versatile in many modes and one of the better Awakened heroes in AFK Arena.
Tier S+Is a great hero but weak until you get him to E60.
Tier S+New buffer for damage and energy and protection debuffer and energy for enemies and has a lot of potential overall.
Tier S+Energy and and damage buffer for your main carry so flexibly scales with whatever heroes work good in all stages.
Tier S+She is approaching to also become meta in pretty much all modes if you have the wallet for her. Great support with buffs and, debuffs and control abilities.
Tier S+Absolutely broken strong - if you consider buying, nothing to regret.
Tier S+Absolutely broken strong - if you consider buying, nothing to regret.
Tier S+More geared towards PvP and some other end-game modes and not the highest Awakened hero to have on the list for most players.
Tier S+Works everywhere with great healing, buffing and DD.
Tier S+Although quite new he is a good buffer and great against all kinds of bosses and has potential in PvP and will not be a huge mistake to start collecting.
Tier SBuff, tank, control and really reliable overall. A really strong hero but as Draconic, well, you know your wallet is the name of the game.
Tier SGreates damage dealer in AFK Arena among the normal heroes and useful everswhere.
Tier SReally strong kit so far but as draconic for most players not realistic to get but the way he is super interesting for Velfura in TS and in CR you probably as noticable spender won't be wrong building him. His passive ability is just almost too good to pass up on.
Tier SGreates damage dealer in AFK Arena among the normal heroes and useful everswhere.

Tier SGreat support for all bosses and useful in energy cycle teams with Rowan and Ezizh but that requires some investment.
Tier SGreat awakened hero actually. for newer players not in the Top 3 of awakened to build but for sure in the higher priority for those of you having the top awakened already checked. Great damage in Cursed Realms and Nightmare Corridor and will be useful.
Tier SHis kit is looking cool and promising but it all comes down how the stats and multipliers scale so don't go wild here right from the start and I don't see him becoming the primary awakened hero every player should go after right away. We will update here as soon as there have been more tests done with him to give you a clear picture but if you pull a gun to my had I'd recommend waiting a bit with him unless you are really into PvP modes, that he will be really strong in I acn already tell you that without knowing the the multipliers since his revive mechanic is just so crazy good. The rankings are predictions so far so don't call me out if something is not 100% accurte. Again, this is a first impression since people always beg us to make one, espcially on Awakened heroes. Overall, if you don't have a couple of the mandatory awakened heroes built, there is no need to think about him.
Tier SOnly real strong in Cursed Realm and Treasure Hunt and the way she was introduced and shadow nerfed is just weird. At the end of the day most players will have enough other Awakened heroes on their list before even thinking about her - so, yes, her ranking is good but she is an absolute endgame hero and unless you have a couple of Awakened heroes built you don't have to consider her.
Tier SSimply amazing and long-term favorite here in the list and useful in campaign and also against bosses.
Tier A+Not a high priority hero for most players and rather a spot whale choice on top in Nichtmare Corridor.
Tier A+Strong DPS potential but also a little bit easy on the way to the die.
Tier A+She doesn't seem all too overpowered so far and only scales incredibly strong along much heal support squads which makes her shield grow more and more. Not a high prio awakened hero honestly.
Tier A+Incredibly strong buffer and useful pretty much everywhere.
Tier A+The design of the skills is even for the devs of AFK Arena unnecessary complicated and on top of that put into even more overcomplicated descriptions. Figuring out his kit and then testing him properly was a nightmare..but we did it! Solid overall but in line with other Dragonic faction heroes. AT the end of the day he is good and useful but absolutely p2p area to get and build so for most players don#t bother with him.
Tier A+Great damage buffer and healer and negates one enemy.
Tier A+Let's put aside how reasonable an investment into her is - she is strong, really strong and will be the hero anybody attempting anything in the endgame in early 2025 will need as her overclocking mechanic makes her a great damage dealer overall. Remember when I started the introduction about how reasonable her investment is? Bad news ahead, you literally have to almost build her completely to even be able to use her.
Tier A+Not a bad hero and I like his kit, however, Awakened Lyca is for sure stronger and in the whole priority I see him somewhere to heroes like Gavus or Awakened Lucius, so it's up to you to decide if you want to pull him or not.
Tier A+With a word of caution that there might be some smaller adjustments to her ranking she is an amazing tank, buffer and debuffer and amazing in campaign and PM.
Tier A+Amazing support and great for pretty much all bosses.
Tier A+Practically unkillable tank and great team tank and buffer but more a hero you build for modes like Hunt and PM and endgame and not neccesarrily a hero you build to carry in early stages of the game. Please check the Awakened priority guide!.
Tier A+Looks really promising all-around with attack, defense, debuff, control and heal. Bad news, you really have to invest to make the SI +30 work with E60.
Tier A+Good buffer, healer and also some damage. Removing debuffs from allies and buffs from enemies is often times really helpful and makes him one of the most valuable support heroes.
Tier A+She has her modes where she naturally shines when looking at her kit but she is an endgame hero for players that really do endgame - for most players she will not do enough to be a priority and she is not meta-shaping like other heroes.
Tier A+Strong hero but also no a hero that you should have in your prio that early. A endgame powercreep once more to be honest and unless you spend quite a tad on the game, I don't really see why you have to get her.
Tier A+Steep invest but engame hero that will once more push the boundaries further for those who spend money. If you are not a relatively decent spender in the game, this hero is not interesting for you.
Tier A+Good news here is that he is incredibly strong and the new powercrep for Cursed World... but there is a big downside and that is how much of his kit is actually locked behind building him and you almost have to max him to make him useful actually.
Tier A+
Tier A+Great support that scales your main damage dealer and amazing energy buffer.
Tier A+Works great in all modes and is worth the invest.
Tier A+Lower Tower and espcially important in campaign in late gameas you can connect 2 enemies that is often a lifesaver.
Tier A+Buffer, debuffer and resurrects multiple times. A little weaker than Liberta but still really strong overall and useful for all game modes.
Tier A+Great healer and buffer and enabler for many meta heroes.
Tier A+Great in all game modes if you can invest enough to keep her alive.
Tier A+Good control and buffer and useful for campaign tower and much more.
Tier A+Good damage and energy buffer with some damage dealing as well.
Tier A+Has a crazy powerful kit but reality has shown that primarily Nightmare Corridor with Marsha's summon execution is his main purpose so that is not really calling many players to the table looking at the investment required to build him.
Tier A+End-game usage in Cursed Realm but not top of meta, feels a little lost and for the investment that is not acceptable honestly.
Tier A+Please take this rating with a grain of salt for now as I find the benefits of him at this point not obvious but with the experience we have with new heroes I can see him turning into a meta hero in a couple months with other heroes and shifts. It's a risky investment right now though.
Tier A+Buffs the main damage dealer excellently.
Tier A+Great healer and useful in many modes.
Tier A+Damage buffer and Defense debuffer and strong n Tower.
Tier A+Great buffer and holds the buff through the full battle and is usefull almost everywhere.
Tier A+Incredible support hero. Buffs damage and survivability and debuffs and has control in her kit and with her unique mechanics to cancel first ultimates of all enemies, she is simply so worth having.
Tier A+Not really top anywhere so for actually all players a hero you can skip.
Tier A+For nwewer players more useful than for other players as you can get the other dragolites when sumoning. He tends to work at lower ascension in TS and NC but also overall no hero you should rush into or go into debt to build for progress.
Tier A+Early tests from the test servers look nice but overall doesn't really seem to take over the meta right now anywhere, primarily because he is slow. Keep an eye on our awakened priority list but for most players from a investment perspective not really too interesting.
Tier A+Amazing for her invincibility at the start where she can grab aggro of enemies and simply survive whatever they will throw at her. Also works at lower invest and is an amazing can opener when level deficits are really high.
Tier A+Energy and attack debuffer and buffs damage. Can also deal solid damage through Erosion when fully upgraded and debuff energy. Most powerful when she can destroy enemy shields.
Tier A+Will become more increasingly important in PM, campaign and Rift with strong debuffing and control in his kit.
Tier A+Amazing, great everywhere and should be your priority of all Awakened heroes in AFK Arena.
Tier A+Great survival buffer, control and healer and is quite versatile for hunting and against bosses.
Tier A+Great buffer, debuffer and damage dealer and with his falt ultimate has great chances to become meta. Debuffs also energy which helps a ton and buffs your team a lot.
Tier AAnother continous damage hero with counters to old and outdated heroes honestly and in todays meta max for niche use in tower or maybe PvP to deal with high base-ATK damage dealers.
Tier AVery strong, as all new dragonic and already pushes into the meta of N and CR and I love the environement effects of his kit honestly.
Tier AAbsolutely must-build for Nightmare Corridor since her passive makes enemies take7 0% more damage. No need to max our or anything for that, just have her is enough.
Tier ABuffer and support with a kit that behaves differently on eah position but honestly in 4th position he works best.
Tier AStrong for Treasure Hunt and in Tower and viable in a lot of sitautions as well.
Tier ADamage buffer and energy buffer for bosses.
Tier AHeavy invest needed for the control and debuff kit to work. Really more a very end-game enhancement hero.
Tier AThere is a couple things about him that you should be aware of... he is a buffer, damage dealer and healer and has a nice energy damage buff at start plus immortalitiy that makes him interesting for Trasure Hunt and he can potentially replace a SI+30 Khazard there. But that is super late game and you have to basically max this dude to do so and I question if the majority of players will even get to that situations. So, if you're not looking to powercreep over a well-built Khazard in Treasure Hunt, no real need to build him.
Tier AAnd another new dragonic coming in. I doubt that the players that will be actually getting him are reading here so for you as a reader, this hero is so top whale material to build that it doesn't even matter.
Tier ANice damage dealer and similar to Eorin or Crassio with very nice cc, buffs and explosive damage and for sure one of the stronger Dragonic heroes of the ones released now.
Tier ADamage buffer and debuffer but mainly useful in Abyss late game with a high Engraving.
Tier AUsed to be THE meta hero when the game was in the first year or two, but now only niche useful.
Tier ASolid buffer and healer but primarily for bosses and needs some serious investment to work well.
Tier ANot as strong as the skill kit might read honestly and oustide of TS doesn't see much use so chances are high you might not even need him.
Tier AJust a wild kit so far but wait a little to see he is worth building. The way he interacts on a stat-base with other heroes (enemies AND allies) is pretty complex honestly and he is not a for-sure-build-first Awakened hero but also one to keep on your list, espcially for Cursed Realm and Twisted Realm.
Tier AGreat tank with shielding for allies and against enemies that use a lot of shielding. Has constant use in Hunting and other late-game modes but you need a heavy Engraving invest at this point.
Tier AUniversal support and damage-buffer but requires quite some invest.
Tier ACrazy in campaign in late game and amazing in pretty much all modes.
Tier AGreat energy buffer and can even work in the frontine and useful throughout many stages.
Tier AMainly for PvP top prio but otherwise go with the other Awakened heroes.
Tier AGreat beginner hero along Astar and Scarlet that will carry you far, but towards end-game misses the punch to remain that great.
Tier AGreat for huntin and campaign and also other modes with damage, control and some support and the invest for that is actually alright compared to other heroes.
Tier AGreat damage and control if you don't have Awakened Baden but requires Mortas for for Nightmare Corridor and sometimes useful in campaign.
Tier AGreat buffer and tank and great campaign carry.
Tier AGreat damage dealer and control and energy debuffer and is usefull at all stages of the game and in most modes, espcially useful in campaign.
Tier AGood buffer and great in PvE content to burst, espcially bosses.
Tier ACheat death with high potential for damage against enemies without much physical damage resistance. Very much so a full-to-build hero for Nichtmare Corridor so for most players a skip as anywhere else he is squishy and today assassin role in a world on continous damage is not really working too well.
Tier ALike all dimensionals worth getting but for utility she is designed for the event and needs her powercreeps to really roll so if you are playing on a budget, she might not be the most resourceful invest.
Tier AI love his character design and skill kit honestly with the sworn foe marking. In terms of using him the good news is he doesn't need a ton of investment to work and if you are a relatively new player for sure a hero to work on. Others, well he is getting some usage in Nichtmare Corridor and Curser Realm but nothing that will be meta defining at any point so build him in case for the low investment he is and call it a day.
Tier ACrazy strong for her incredibly strong buff, but you need to full ybuild her for that. Top of the line in Curces and Hunt.
Tier AGood damage and survivability and buffs damage and one of the top heroes in Faction Tower.
Tier ACan block enemy abilities and buffs energy restoration. Useful in pretty much all modes in end-game nowadays.
Tier ANice energy control for what she is but only more useful in endgame modes.
Tier AStargazer prio #1, still, as so important for campaign and carry after mid into late game. Sacrifice her allies and then wipe out the enemy team.
Tier AHer control is important in late campaign and tower.
Tier B+Like all dimensionals worth getting but for utility she is designed for the event and needs her powercreeps to really roll so if you are playing on a budget, she might not be the most resourceful invest.
Tier B+DAmage dealer, controls and debuffs attack but outside Treasure Hunt not really a hero that needs much attention for most players. The raw kit can work with an elite copy but if you really want to use him the invest is a lot higher (Hunt).
Tier B+Great tank to use invulnerability along one ally in the frontline. Iportant for campaign but that's about it for late game.
Tier B+Good for some bosses and can tank by pulling off enemies and reduce their protection.
Tier B+Control prolongue over enemies that even works after his death make him very useful in campaign with Leonardo or Mehira.
Tier B+Great speed and energy support and is useful in various modes in late game to scale your main damage dealer.
Tier B+Has several setups where he works good but not as universal as many believe.
Tier B+Great control and debuffer but needs certain teams to work well enough.
Tier B+Another death-denier and people lost it. She is not that great and maybe in earlier modes and stages as control and erosion damage dealer alright. Build because you like her design, not because she is particularly useful in the progress.
Tier B+Somewhat useful butnot like you have -to-have her but domensionals are always heroes to get looking at how easy they are compared to others.
Tier B+Looks very interesting as interceptor and negating fatal damage is always nice. Testing will show if she is a hero to build or not but as with everyy dimensional hero worth getting when initially released for sure but the more we get into it the more we believe that she will make the meta in Treasure Hunt for a long time.
.png)
Tier B+Good damage but lacks survivability so keeping her alive will be a chore.
Tier B+Buffer and damage dealer and potentially important for certain end-game modes but not at this point.
Tier B+So far the weakest Awakened hero in AFK Arena and I can't recommend him at all.
Tier B+Great in many modes and can bring a ton of damage to the ultimate.
Tier B+Good damage dealer, espcially in campaign and tower.
Tier B+Good survival and tank but at the end most of the times only relevant for tower.
Tier B+Honestly for newer players more interesting as she can do more early on. I like her but her kit simply is not strong enough.
Tier B+Assassin that jumps around, debuffs and deals damage effectively through health loss and scales with Erosion. Honestly fun artwork and lore but at the end of the even for newer players not even that interesting.
Tier B+Takes a long time to build up and honestly outside of Cursed World and Dragonic Tower not really useful overall.
Tier B+Dragonic damage buffer withoout much use except running in a Dragonic team (except you get the SI+40).
Tier B+Not too special anywhere but useful at occasions in end-game with control, buffing and tanking as well. Against bosses sometimes wonky as fly into bosses but most of the time works alright. Still, no hero to go crazy about.
Tier B+Great early-game hero but later only potential in hunting and some in Faction Tower.
Tier B+Damage and energy buffer and is required in some really end-game setups and situations, but not an overall investment for every player.
Tier B+Useful in campaign to restart a setup and get a lead.
Tier B+Draconic hero that you need extremely deep wallet for to build. Strong for sure but so heavily paywalled that even this little line here is too much information for most players.
Tier B+Great for Treasure Hunt and Dragonforge, nothing else. Collect with the release event for the copies but maybe wait a little before pumping the resources to build him.
Tier B+I ranked him a little conservatively as I want to make sure I don't point him out to build and then he is not that great. Overall a nice control debuffer tank that has a lot of survivability if you built him but needs quite some invest for that. I think he is worth it if you think about it but not a hero I would put on top of every priorty list for any player.
Tier B+Not as great as the other Awakened heroes.
Tier B+His immortal ability can be used in campaign quite late to overcome burst and pair with Lucretia.
Tier B+Damage and protection buffer and can be used in a lot of modes.
Tier B+Great start pull hero with Skriath and carry through campaign with Lucretia but loses it's cause later in the game.
Tier B+Control and damage buffer and useful for all kinds of bosses.
Tier B+Used to cheese like a god but outside of some campaign uses in mid-gae, he lost relevance.
Tier BIncredible disappointing honestly.
Tier BInsane hero in early game with a ton of damage if you get her 9/9 furniture but that will end towards mid-game.
Tier BSolid healer with some control.
Tier BGood debuffer and slows down enemies energy restoration and can be situationally useful in campaign and tower until the 30s.
Tier BHas some uses in Hunting but overall quite niche.
Tier BUseful in campaign with Lucretia after his death.
Tier BRequired for pushing campaign and can do everlasting contro along Khazard.
Tier BGood distraction and hopefull survives burst and can ctonrol - not too reliable in most cases and rather a niche sitaution solver.
Tier BCan be used in campaign to keep your team alive and also useful in Faction Tower.
Tier BCan work in campaign really well in vertain setups.
Tier B
Tier BTop pairing with Ainz for carry until mid-late game. More viable long-term as her E60 engraving will make her useful in Abyss and Hunting.
Tier BCan be useful for bosses, especially earlier in the game.
Tier BCan move Torne closer to enemies in campaign but not a hero to invest in heavily.
Tier BReduces protection on bosses so sometimes useful but not overall.
Tier BCouple cents here while we are in the full process of testing and building this hero... always unlock new dimensional heroes since they are really easy to build. In general she has an interesting kit but her mechanics and ways she brings that kit on the ground will not work in the most end-game and later-game modes well enough and you need to use her along laios in the same team which is more restrictions. Still, not a bad hero and a summon killer for sure, but not meta relevant in the long run.
Tier BAlong Marcille interesting but not meta-shaping. Still worth picking upa s dimensional hero because easy-to-build and not too bad. More details later when we finished our tests.
Tier BPrimarily PvP with a lot of invest needed to make her work - outside PvP, only in niche use-cases relevant.
Tier BGreat in tower and as middle tank but overall not really a shining hero.
Tier BAverage damage dealer and more an early-mid-game carry situationally.
Tier B
Tier BLost relevante over the years and is only really useful in Tower nowadays.
Tier BAudrae deals crazy amounts of damage but she is slow and rarely finds great uses outside pvP in end-game. Can be used in Tower but the invest is insane.
Tier BActually good early game nuker and boss damage dealer and mid-game Ainz buffer.
Tier BFor Abyss relevant but you can go without him unless you're whaling there.
Tier BUseful in hunting and campaign but that's about it.
Tier BGreat for campaign with shield and block control for the whole team.
Tier BOnly useful in Faction Tower if you need multiple teams to fill them.
Tier BCan distract enemy targeting with totems but overall not a hero to have on top of your list.
Tier BCan work in early campaign with Lucretia.
Tier C+There are many layers to this hero but long story short, I hardly believe Nyla will be meta relevant. Can control and deal damage and the kit works similar to Astar with the invulnerable state and continous damage. I just don't see anything working to well here and also looking at the invest... I won't recommend too much.
Tier C+Ainz Ooal Gown is basically the godfather of all carry heroes with his stuns and percentage damage and the further you get in AFK Arena, the more important it gets to have him. Use him in early and mid-game but he becomes less relevant in end-game so don't be too surprised if you see him fall off at some point towards end-game.
Tier C+Some uses in campaign and Tower but that's about it with him.
Tier C+Sometimes useful in Faction Tower.
Tier C+Can be useful in Faction Tower but everywhere else can be replaced.
Tier C+Usefull energy buff here and there and useful in the Tower, but other than that not a hero you should care about too much.
Tier C+Useful in campaign and tower until a certain point.
Tier C+Importan for some late-end-game modes.
Tier C+Support-tank and claims to be universal but often is somewhat lackluster.
Tier C+
Tier C+Actually primarily a Faction Tower here. She can work as a replacement for some heroes in some modes but hasn't have her own spot there.
Tier C+Good damage dealer in Treasure Hunt but that's about ot.
Tier C+
Tier C+Just really doesn't do it too well with her continuous damage and simply use her as buffer later, well, there's many other heroes who do that better.
Tier C+For multi-stage teams in tower useful but nothing else. Maybe early-game carry with Arthur but there are easier and better options.
Tier C+Rare PvP hero for whales but average players won't find many uses for her.
Tier C+Can be useful in Forest Tower.
Tier C+She can fill a gap in Faction Tower but that's about it for her.
Tier C+
Tier C+
Tier C+Mostly useful in Faction Tower.
Tier C+
Tier C+Only real use-case is in Tower later in the game.
Tier C+Useful tank in mid-game but rarely finds good use-cases in late game.
Tier C+Faction Tower, yes, anywhere else, no.
Tier C+Can be useful against certain setups but is not that meta relevant.
Tier C+Mainly useful in PvP and situationally in Tower.
Tier C+Early campaign carry to shield your main carry but that's about it.
Tier C+Sometimes useful in Faction Tower.
Tier C+
Tier C+
Tier C
Tier CHas been pretty much replaced everywhere he was good, not a good hero anymore, at all.
Tier CSometimes useful in Faction Tower.
Tier CNot really that useful and can be replaced pretty much everywhere.
Tier CHas been replaced by newer heroes and is not useful and shouldn't be invested in.
Tier CI mean to be honest he is really not good, and that is even a very nice way to say it. Nothing is there so really do yourself a favor and keep your hands off him.
Tier C
Tier CUseful in Faction Tower with 3 teams but nowhere else really useful.
Tier COnly useful in multi-stage setups in Faction Tower.
Tier C
Tier CCan be used to distract enemies in Tower sometimes.
Tier CHas literally no mode he is viable in after the early game.
Tier C
Tier CNot a single use-case in the entire game.
Tier CThere is only one case you need her to remove the shields and kill Eluard in Campaign Chapter 46, that's it.
Tier C

Tier CAmazing early-game carry but not useful anywhere later. I recommend building her and then use an Exchange Chest to swap her for a better hero.

Tier CNot really relevant for normal players.

Hey! Does this tier list also apply for afk arena companions version?
Could you please add the “Best Build” feature for Tavriel, Misfortis, Trix, and Lethos?
Does this work with the latest update as well?
Sure we update with every update and normally make a big cleanup after like 9-12 months
Why don’t you have the best build for Tavriel? I was looking for it but I see a picture only. No collection or build info at all. I need and would appreciate this information. Thank you..
Build is here. Sorry sometimes testing takes a little longer and real life requires some attention as well.
Hey, could you add the 4 newest heroes in your build guide(Tierlist) please? Would really appreciate it. Leviathan/ Alvida/ Awakended Estrilda/ Umbriel
Great breakdown of the tier list! I’m excited to see how Mira fits into the current meta. Her abilities look promising, and I can’t wait to test her out in my team. Thanks for the insights!
Great tier list as always! I was surprised to see Sion ranked so high—his abilities really shine in the current meta. I’m looking forward to trying out some of the team compositions you suggested. Keep up the good work!
Great breakdown of the heroes in the current tier list! I’m glad to see Gorren making an appearance this time. His synergy with other heroes can really change the game. Can’t wait to try out some of the new strategies mentioned!
Where is Kregor? 😉
What happened to the button to return to the top of the page? I can’t use your new app so rely on the web for information.
I knew Parisa had a sleeper build. I remember seeing her do big numbers even though nobody was talking about her.
What is the meaning of PM that you’re saying Awakened Shemira good at?
As of March 2024, this list feels like it portrays a painful misunderstanding of what defines this game’s meta. The harder you look at this list the worse it gets, with heroes like Twins and Lorsan above Emilia, just to name one example, though I’d be here all day if I named them all.
If new players stumble into this list and take it as hero priority, it’s actively sabotaging their account. These are the types of external website “guides” that the AFK community points to when saying “don’t listen to random websites, it’s always bad advice”. This is inherently misleading and harmful, I hope you’d consider reworking it.
Hello, the list is very different from the last time I checked it. I remember when Awakened baden was the less important of the awakened heroes (except for ezizh and talene of course) and now is in the best tier. Abelinda dropped to A+ and she was S+. I understand that things can change but the descriptions are not updated, even regular baden is up to B from the C he was before. Would you mind to explain what these changes are based on? Also, I notice that there is no longer PVP as valuation, how come?
The “so bad it hurts” description on Walker had me XD
Why aThane has S+ and S on PvP and so on, but overall rating is A+… that doesn’t make sense
overall rating is kot the simple addition of individual ratings and unless you are whale maxing out heroes pvp is not that much of a concern. the individual rankings show how heroes do in those game modes and overall is the overall viability what heroes make sense.
I understand, but look at the individual ratings:
Campaign: S+
Tower: S+
Nightmare Corridor: S+
Cursed Realm: S
PvP: S+
So how can overall rating be A+ of there is no A+ at a single individual rating? If you can help me understand please? This I see on many heroes of the new tier list.
Thank you!
The overall rating is more like a priority takeing all heroes into account. I understand this might confusing but I don’t see the point you’re trying to make. The overall rank is the overall rank taking everything into account and the individual ones only the important modes towards end-game. So changing that one letter in the table won’t make a hero different or not, the priority stays the same, it’s correct the way it is 😉
Yeah No, thats kind of dumb. Thats not how it works. You’re literally just making stuff up and putting random letters there. The Overall Grade should just be removed. Its completely pointless. You give Thoran a C overall but he’s literally an S Tier in the area that 99% of players actually care about. It makes zero sense.
Ok, let’s get some things straight here.
1) My list is not changing the game, the game works and I put my experience into this list. Disagreement is alright, nobody forces you to follow my list and if you have your opinion set that strong that you feel you know it better be confident and go ahead and pump Thoran with all you got
2) what gives you the right to call me dumb on my own website? did I disrespect you? did I curse you out? Just because you don’t understand what point I’m making doesn’t make it pointless. Maybe a best life lesson you ever got
Cheers
Awakened Belinda
Awakened Solise
Awakened Athalia
Awakened Baden
Yeah it seems the latest update removed these heroes?
Yes, sorry don’t know what happened but made sure they are in the list again. Thanks for letting me know guys!
abelinda and abaden missing again.
seeing this list and looking to my recently ascended Lucius, i think i made a lot of mistakes. After reading the comments i had to remove Seirus from my wishlist 🙂
FYI – It looks like Awakened Solise and Awakened Baden are no longer there since the last update!
Yes, thanks for letting me know I saw the issue and updated the list with their ranking again
thanks for the list! very useful
btw i saw that there is no A solise
Please show the new releases ratings, I want to know wether they should be built on my account
Where is awakened Baden on this list? Also Shemira should be higher because she’s amazing in early game
I can’t see awakened Belinda or Baden on the list.
Queen is rated D on all categories and has no info… Might be something missing.
Brutus Z Tier
Is isabella really that bad? I’ve been using her as my main graveborn damage dealer for a while at 5* 60 engraving 9 furniture and 30 signature item. I use her in similar way as ainz and she carries hard for me while being squishy. I’ve found the ult to destroy enemy teams. By the second trigger it’s wiped most teams I encounter up to 38-40 and elsewhere just making it a case of crafting a team that keeps her alive.
Please let me know how you like the new layout, I think it’s a lot easier to use now with dropdown and search 🙂
It’s great and I reall appreciate the time and energy put into it
Thank you
Never mind.. I just read Ainz’s description and explanation on why he’s 2nd.
Wow, old list was wayyy better. I from what i read it was less pratical to maintain but in term of UX it drastically dropped cause… it’s now hard to use (I even thought the site was broken, at the beginning). Having to click to see each detail (artefact, item etc), come back to the list, then click again for other informations loaded on another page, then coming back… is really unfriendly.
I would suggest to have all the informations visible at first sight without having to click (whoch is the main problem, imo).
Unfortunately, this guide can no longer be used as a quick reference. I’ve been using this guide for a year and now the majority of important information such as recomended si, engraving, or furniture isn’t listed here anymore. Before, if I needed further explanation onto why an si was recommended, I could view the si guide but now I have to have multiple tabs open just to see all the information for a single hero. Furthermore, the engraving guide only shows a small handfull of heros which seems almost counterproductive for a guide/tier list.
While I can understand the old format being difficult to update, this new format is very much inferior from a user pov. I think each hero needs a drop down box that lists all the important build information. Alternatively, show the build information by default, and have a drop down box that shows the description. The latter option would also make the page shorter.
As far as the Eternal Engraving list, please return the other heros to that list. Why drez is on the list but heros like Albedo or Skriath aren’t is very bizarre.
Granit is needed starting from chapter 43 at +30. He works in Lucretia’s pack. He puts marks with this helps Lucretia.
Still a good list but the old format was much more practical.
Thanks and sorry for the new format, the old was just a nightmare to maintain and also had a lot of trouble on some devices. I try to improve so if you have ideas what you rather want to see just let me know 🙂
The main issue is it now takes a long time to find a hero on the list, mostly because you have to scroll past the description for each hero. Maybe if you hid each heroes description until clicked that would make it easier to browse the list.
Again, thanks for the effort you put into this!
Noo 🙁 the old list was a lot more practical and clear. Why did you change that?
Nightmare to maintain and lots of layout problems :/ But I try to improve this one, too so if you have suggestions please let me know 🙂
It looks like Mishka is there twice: in the S tier and the A tier heroes.
Alte Liste war besser und übersichtlicher! Old tierlist better!
I also prefer the previous list.
Also, Ainz seems to have higher ratings vs Lucretia, but he’s ranked 2nd? Is that a mistake, or there’s a reason?
Never mind.. I just read Ainz’s description and explanation on why he’s 2nd.
