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.
Season 6 heroes added + update to gear and Exclusive Weapon recommendations inside the builds
Fighter Heroes
Here are all Fighter heroes in Dark War Survival ranked
Tier 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.
Tier S+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.

Tier SIf 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.
Tier 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.
Tier 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.
Tier 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.
Tier BShe 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.
Tier BOnly 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.
Tier 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.
Tier 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.
Tier 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.
Tier CCouple 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.
Rider Heroes
Here are all Rider heroes in Dark War Survival ranked
Tier S+The latest generation and unleyy you have a well-built Marcia absolutely a hero that is worth building.
Tier S+The latest generation and unleyy you have a well-built Marcia absolutely a hero that is worth building.
Tier S+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.
Tier SIf you're looking for the latest top-of-the-line combat and yoou skipped on Marcia in the previous generation, this is a good investment. If you have a well-build Marcia already I'd overthing the investment, though.
Tier A+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.
Tier ANot 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).
Tier 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.
Tier 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.
Tier 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.
Tier BHe 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.
Tier D+You will get her shards and only level her for the passive, there is literaly no use for her actively.
Tier DOnly useful gathering for the passive skill, not to be used actively in combat or advanture.
Shooter Heroes
Here are all Shooter heroes in Dark War Survival ranked
Tier S+New hero and absolutely scales over everything. If you want to be competitive on your server in Season 6, he is your pick.
Tier S+Latest generation and for sure the new shooter queen with so much damage you barely can't afford missing out on her.
Tier SLatest generation and for sure the new shooter queen with so much damage you barely can't afford missing out on her.
Tier SIncredible damage output and high synergy with other strong shooter faction heroes make him incredibly strong overall.
Tier SIf you're looking for the latest top-of-the-line combat and yoou skipped on Margaret in the previous generation, this is a good investment. If you have a well-build Margaret already I'd overthing the investment, though.
Tier A+Very strong shooter but if you already have a solid lineup here you might want to skil unless you want to stay competitive on your server.
Tier AGreat 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.
Tier B+Great combat hero and in line with heroes like Scarlett that can be used a lot.
Tier B+Same as Cyrus just for Shooters. 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.
Tier B+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.
Tier BNice skills and his passive for more researh speed goeas a very long way.
Tier C+You get her quite quickly unlocked through her storymode but honestly she is not that great to run actively but her passive skills should be somthing to keep at max level since that little percentage will go a long way with her.
Tier DOnly useful gathering for the passive skill, not to be used actively in combat or adventure. Also mind, he appears to be a frontline hero but he is a backline one!.
Tier DOnly level the passive for resource output.
