The Best Heroes in Heroes of Crowns: Legends (Tier List + Builds) – Updated

I think there is no need to lay out how long and expensive building a hero in Heroes of Crown: Legends is and how much it will throw you back to do that for the first heroes you pull. The good news is, almost all heroes in the game are useful but some are more useful than others.

For that reason I have here a tier list that will show you why a hero is good and in what situations/modes they really shine (well, some shine simply everywhere).

What Heroes Are Worth Building in Heroes of Crowns?

Below you find a snapshot of the current meta of heroes and how they will be when you fully build them so you don’t have to find out the hard way yourself which ones is worth building and which ones are not.

Alright, let’s get into it.
