Are you wondering what heroes are working well in Dark War Survival and also, what heroes are worth investing in and upgrading? Well, this is not too easy on the first look and once upgraded there is no reset so do that with car.

We have written this list here for Dark War Survival to help you out and, if you didn’t knew this is the new game from the same developers that made Last War Survival Game, which we also have here on our website. Game-wise it’s very similar to Whiteout Survival, just with zombies instead of snow.

What Heroes Are Worth It in Dark War Survival?

Below we have the heroes ranked from high (useful everywhere, worth upgrading and strong carry heroes that will help you progress) through more niche heroes to low (heroes you shouldn’t care too much about) including some descriptions to help you see why we ranked a hero the way we did.

Fighter Heroes

Here are all Fighter heroes in Dark War Survival ranked

Ella

Best Build

S

⁺

Top fighter although with so many strong ones from the previous seasons I recommend you to take a good look how much evolution she really brings. If you did skip Noah and Angela she for sure is a must-have hero.

New generation fighter hero and for sure the strongest in the pack but if you have been working well iont he previous ones like Lan and Francis you might be able to actually skip him. The scalers are higher, sure, like all newer generations and if you lack some newer fighters he will elevate your game a lot.

If you're looking for the latest top-of-the-line combat and yoou skipped on Francis in the previous generation, this is a good investment. If you have a well-build Francis already I'd overthing the investment, though.

A

⁺

Absolutely meta fighter hero and also valuable 3rd skill to have and build that will passive buff fighter HP which is the strongest buff there is.

Rarity:Orange

Fighter:Combat

Best Build

Guy

Best Build

ⓘ Details

B

⁺

You pull his shard but also can buy him cheaply at the start and he will push your progress in Adventure for sure. You need to get him to 1-Star to be really able to do something with him but once you start leveling his skill he becomes really important there, almost essential hero there in Dark War..

Rarity:Orange

Fighter:Adventure

Best Build

Tristan

Best Build

B

⁺

Same as Cyrus just for Fighters. Good hero on release and then max out her 3rd skill for a global 10% Shooter bonus that also is active when hero is not deployed.

Rarity:Orange

Fighter:Training

Best Build

Selena

Best Build

ⓘ Details

B

She is underestimated a lot. Early, she does doeal fantastic damage in Adventure and with her fighter buff synergy she can be used with the most heroes you will use there. EAsy to star up and with her passive gaining more Electricity output overall makes it easy to level her. YOu won't actively run her in later game, probably not even for gathering, but the passive buff is something you will benefit from a lot.

Rarity:Blue

Fighter:Gathering

Best Build

Catherine & Rex

Best Build

ⓘ Details

B

Only obtainable with money and keep in mind that you need the shards to star her up or this is not working so dont buy her unless you have the purple rarity maxed since it will directly transform that hero including the skills. She is not bad, she is good but for most players not really needed that badly compared to other S-Rank heroes that carry a game mode.

Rarity:Orange

Fighter:Missions

Best Build

Farhad

Best Build

ⓘ Details

C

⁺

Great synergy with heroes like Guy but wouldn't build him too much unless you lack fighter faction heroes. He is solid but the way he is neither offense nor defense will put him in a pickle later in the game when you don't generalists but specialists and a team with 1 attacker and 1 defender rather than 2 generalist heroes like him work a lot stronger.

Rarity:Purple

Fighter:Combat

Best Build

Barnett

Best Build

ⓘ Details

C

⁺

He is not bad in combat but you will primarily use him if you run Guy in Adventure for the faction synergy. Other than that, he is primarly a hero to level for his passive unti training skill. But here is the deal with that, since training times are long but not too long, this extra percentage often enough just disappears. If you train your troops they are probably trained before you come back online so that percentage is disappearing so for most players you can chill here unless you get a ton of shards of him. Also you will unlikely use him actively since he is neither attack or defense so he will not work later in the game.

Rarity:Purple

Fighter:Training

Best Build

Bob

Best Build

C

⁺

Introduced early on but he get replaced soon enough and is more interesting for his passive iron gathering speed buff so make sure to level him correctly.

Rarity:Blue

Fighter:Gathering

Best Build

Liz

Best Build

ⓘ Details

C

Couple things here that aren't that obvious for most players... irst of all, she is not healing in combat, she deals damage and that is not much. And her passive for healing speed is not that much needed since you can split the healing troops up and use Alliance Help to basically instantly use them or you do a big junk overnight when you're offline anyway. Overall just the weakest purple hero in the game right now..

With the 3rd skill powercreep for players that invest money and want to stay competitive for sure relevant but if you have a well-built Scarlett or Eddie and you don't spend (much) money you don't really need her. If you don't, well, you will have a ton of fun with her since she is incredibly strong and versatile.

⁺

Great attacker with a ton of damage and also with his passive he is essentially the research.equivalent of Megan who allows you to directly skip research times below a certan duration - the only thing that is really annoying about him is the way to unlock him and how expensive it gets actually building him.

Rarity:Orange

Rider:Research

Best Build

Quinn

Best Build

ⓘ Details

A

Not critically relevant but she is a great sturdy hero and also the Alliance Duel passive skill is such a long-term help that getting her is something to consider (if you are spending since she is not available for free when she becomes available on your server).

Rarity:Orange

Rider:Alliance Duel

Best Build

Scarlett

Best Build

ⓘ Details

B

⁺

She honestly has a nice damage output and can be used well outside of Adventure as well which becomes more important after you player more than a couple of hourse so investing in her skills (espcially since you get her shards to star her up that frequently) is absolutely nothing you'll regret.

Rarity:Purple

Best Build

Eddie

B

Absolutely one of the heroes you will constantly improve and use actively in combat, even useful in adventure up to a certain point where you really make the faction benefit work in Dark War Survival..

Cyrus

Best Build

B

⁺

Alright overall but one interesting powercreep here when yu max out his 3rd skill is 10% global rider damage even when not deployed which makes him long-term interesting. Now he is strong when he becomes available but even later when in a few years the hero is not relevant anymore you can still have this bonus that benefits you.

Victor

He is alright although you normally only use riders on the map and with his passive primarily for monster hunting. Build him naturally but you don't really have to go crazy here in the beginning and focus on him too early in Dark War..

Great hero and the invest is alright to get her to something like 2-Star and alone her passive is amzing enough when you can literally instant finalize upgrades below 2 hours. But she is a great frontline hero as well with a strong kit so go for her if you are willing to invest a few dollars..

Good combat hero to use with the only downside that shooters overall are lacking a bit of synergy but I think future heroes will help that so building her, if you want, is something that is not a huge mistake in my opinion..
