Picking your heroes in Wittle Defender can be a bit tricky at times and once you left the early stages you will also see that you have to prioritize your investments in your heroes a lot more due to the lack of resources available – and we want to help you do exactly that by showing you how well each hero performs in Wittle Defender.
Best Heroes in Wittle Defender – How?
Well, you always need heroes that deal area damage for the waves and single damage against bosses – you can’t beat a stage in Wittle Defender without one or the other. Some heroes do that better than others and some are purely in your squad to enable th chain links. We tested all heroes to give you a real ranking who is hot and who is not.
Added first impression on the new Yeno hero Wun Wukong who, again, pushes the limits of what a hero can do.
Please also don’t forget to take a look at our new guides about team building and lineups in Wittle Defender here, there some nice ready-to-be-used teams in there as well.
Sublime Heroes
After 500 summons you unlock the Xenoscape Summon with the most powerful heroes.
Tier S+Absolutely crushing everything. There is strong heroes, then there is overpowered heroes and a long tiem after that there is him. By far the strongest hero, including all other xeno heroes.
Tier S+In all honestly testing took longer because I couldn't believe my results at first how strong she is. She is not just increasing basically your whole teams damage and scales everything, she also does deal significant damage herself, even more than most mythic heroes. I actually removed one tier from all other heroes because of her to reflect the new era she puts us in and she should be your first Yenoscape hero on your wishlist.
Tier SNice damage and trageting and for sure a hero that helps you out in most situations but nowhere close to the utility Stella provides.
Tier SThe 'weakest' xenoscape hero in Wittle Defender but that is beacuse Stella is so crazy strong and Celine just snowballs more. He still is stronger than the mythic heroes but in the bigger picture he would be my lowest priority xenoscape hero in the game.
Mythic Heroes
Here are all the mythic heroes in Wittle Defender
Tier S+Just for how she boosts your main carry and prevents their death is absolutely strong and you want her in most teams honestly.
Tier S+
Tier S+Mythic S heroes are so overpowered and he makes no difference in the way he not just provides utility for your team by also dealing massive massive damage.
Tier S+First Mythic S hero in the game. Mythic S means you need to have pulled 720 times before you can pull for his banner. He is good and obviously strong so that is why the devs blocked his availability a bit. Makes the ice team meta interesting again.
Tier SI was very whatever when starting to test her without much expectations but she actually is super strong, even without much star-up she deals a lot of damage and has a huge radius - her self-heal is super needed as she is a glass cannon until you build her right and loses a lot of HP constantly. But from all vanilla heroes in Wittle Defender, she is for sure the strongest right off the start and if you have a solid Lightning team around her, you will have a lot of fun.
Tier A+The area damage output she has thanks to her mechanics and area of effect are incredibly strong and absolutely will bring every fire team ahead.
Tier A+First mythic healer and she is a great team healer and even better without having to ascend her a lot, compared to Seraph. A little bit of a pickle since you have to choose to pick her or Odin in the banner re-run but honestly she is the better pick since you will need a good healer the further you progress and she is exactly filling that void.
Tier A+One of the coolest heroes in the game for sure andone that is actually also strong, espcially if you have pulled Kilonek already asince they make a strong pairing. A hero I would recommend pulling honestly.
Tier A+Enabler for the whole team by elevating damage. Good support and worth getting for sure. The character design, however, I personally am not the biggest fan of that. Not per se just because what does a DJane do in a dungeon with monsters, samurai and mages... but at the end of the day she does the work and also deals quite some damage herself so she is for sure one of the mythical heroes to have on your shortlist.
Tier APiercing crit-scaler which gives herself a great machanic but on the other side she has to rely on wind as her element which is not the craziest of them and has their flaws. But for sure a good hero and the strongest wind character right now.
Tier A+Another summon for ice and this is getting cool since with all the summons not just freeze effects are part of this damage team, you have the summons that off-tank a lot as well. He is the best ice so far and if you have Polar CAptain and Ice Demon already, he makes a great addition along a xenoscape hero that deals damage like Stella.
Tier A+I discouraged getting him espcially when you have Odin or Lark already in your roaster and even though the devs buffed the hero shortly after release because everybody was like meh about him doesn't make him super powerful or useful now. My inititial statement is the same, if you have Odin and/or Lark, just skip him. If not, you can pull him but be aware that he needs a full fire team to really play well and maybe you rather want to see what the next supposely frost hero banner is.
Tier APlayers from the beta might remember him and he is technically in the game for a long time. He will make the mythical bond on the frost team and while he is not bad and fun, he needs to be able to work with Floss in order to get the fallen extra hits. Overall not a bad hero, solid performance and works but I wouldn't right now go out of my way to pull him (if I wouldn't for the sake of updating these guides here) and if you are more on the budget side of players rather save up scrolls for a hero like Cheffy coming along again.
Tier B+Cool targeting and damage overall and can make the chain link team possible with sword baron and Miyamoto.
Tier B+Took me a while to actually understand him well enough to make him work with his kit (and also interpret the stat numbers correctly) - he is good. He puts lightning back on the map with Odin and Robot being super early strong heroes that fall off the meta shortly after and with him in the mix they are able to be good again - but you need them built, the 1-copy runs don't do it here so do not pull him if you don't have at least a 3-Star Odin and robot already ready to plug in.
Tier B+First banner hero and the interesting fact that he makes the first 3-hero chain link with Robot and Pharao possible already is good. Even better is that he is super strong and him and Robot each other wrestle the top damage dealer position. Try everything you can to unlock him.
Tier B+I admit I hated him and used him to tank damage againts bosses before I found out how insane he is. Once you evolve him fully during battle and make the chain link with the pharao, he deals damage like no tomorrow, dragging mobs dogether and smashing half the map and against bosses he packs a punch too due to his EM shield. Like, he sometimes was dealing 10 times as much damage as my 2nd best damage dealer in runs. Even at 0 Stars a beast to have and outperforms better levels heroes easily and he is for sure the hero to build and run and he will carry you far in Wittle Defender no matter what.
Tier BSolid against waves but even with his chain link bosses will be an issue.
Tier BInteresting overall and has several layers that make him work well. The summons can distract and off-tank waves and bosses and once you can make his chain link with Shiva pop waves are no issue anymore. Against bosses he actually works well since his summons will gather up and tank, take damage and snowball to constantly deal damage. Still, needs a carry damage dealer against bosses since the damage is jsut not there.
Tier BNot that great but since he is the center link for the chain link team with Sword Saint and Swordmaster, he absolutely gains synergy with that.
Tier C+
Tier C+Cool damage, some spawns and utility. Works great but can't keep up with the heroes above.
Tier C+Great to single-handed deal with all kinds of mob waves, espcially once you can make her link ability pop. Against bosses almost useless.
Tier C+Not reall damage against bosses nor waves but has one big advantage which is that he makes the chain link with the robot which is so powerful that just having him in the lineup is worth it.
Legendary Heroes
Here are all the legendary heroes in Wittle Defender
Tier B+For a legendary hero the best AoE wave cleaner espcially when combined with Brisa. She will deal the most damage but against bosses you will need a hero that deals better damage. With her in your team and Brisa for the syny you don't need any other area damage dealer.
Tier BLooking at the synergy with lightning and being one of the few heroes that can actually heal, she is a legendary to have and build.
Tier BAlright early on but you will replace legendaries so quickly with mythic heroes that there is no point to think too long about it.

Tier C+Not good. Neither the damage nor the freeze works BUT she enables the chain sync skill of Anna which single-handed deals with all waves once active, so throw her in there and wait to enable that skill. Other than that not worth it.
Epic Heroes

Tier D+Honestly, epic heroes will be maxed out in like 2 days and then you only want the emblems for the shop. Don't think about them.

When will this be updated to include Starlight Weaver?
is in there now, needed to confirm how op she is before updating the list.
I think Night Baron is the best boss DPSer in the game. He’s casually putting up 30-50mil damage at level 34. His upgrades have a chance to scale his attack, so he just chews up bosses when upgraded early.
I don’t understand why your comment on Fiery Vanguard Kilonek is full of discouragement, because he is far better than Lark with team work, and suprisingly he pushed my team go all the way up to higher floors and stages.
Thanks for you comment, I really appreciate you taking the time to draw out your perspective. Did you use a full fire team by any chance? If so, yes, he is good. I think my narrative came accross a little harsh here since there was so much hype/antihype created (I won’t use certain content creator names) that I felt I wanted to put some perspective out there before people spend real money on a hero they MIGHT not need if they already went the ful wind or lightning route.
