For that reason I have here a tier list that you can use as a blueprint to decide which troops to focus on and also to take to combat.
Top Troops Best Troop Tier List
Just looking at the rarity or the stats isn’t enough and I have below not only ranked all available troops of all rarities in Top Troops, I also have short descriptions that will tell you why I ranked them the way I did to give you the best overview that is not going into much details and synergies but still enough that you will get the picture
Alright, let’s get into it.
Hot takeIs Werewolf really S+?Drag our heroes where you think they belong and share your list. 30 seconds, no account.Fight us on it
Tier S+
Tier S+Great damage overall and one of the best troops in the game right now in all modes.
Can work well or end up in a suicide mission unless you build them right.
Tier S+Rage buff is nice and with a solid team to work around incredibly versatile and strong.
The rumors were true and saving up here is worth it. Absolutely nuts damage dealer and debuffer.
Tier SHas immunities and can also be considered for a little bit higher but he is not a troop that I would right off the bat recommend to every player in Top Troops.
Seriously my favorite character design in Top Troops by far and her skills are outrageously good. She basically goes through the enemy lines and blocks healing totally one-by-one and also debuffs the affected enemies (and these stay until the battle ends!). Keep her alive is the biggest and only struggle with her so build her right and put her in a team that can do that and you will have a lot of fun with her.
Tier SShe is wild, her support buffs for the team that scales and scales the more she poisons is just crazy strong and useful. Great support and with good posion snergy even better.
Tier A+
Tier A+Quite solid. Wouldn't recommend going out of your way to build him but he works well overall with one small inconsistency of his riposte doing funky stuff, like delay or just not travel. I don't know if this is a bug that will get fixed but if you pull him there is no reason to no build him and use him.
Tier A+Ranged group attacks can be so dangerous that make him really solid.
Tier A+
Tier A+Has become a lot better since the changes and is not actually a troop to like.
Tier A+Enables crit setups and is designed more for mid-end Ancient setups. Not really a beginner unit to have but becomes a lot stronger the further you progress.
Tier A+Let's ignore the fact about the release structure of very similar archetype troops, he is actually no bad with okay damage and nice debuffing/buffing so he can work well in many setups.
Tier A
Tier APretty nice and scales himself up when your army gets weaker to snowball and cheese through the rest.
Tier A

Tier A
Tier A
Tier ADamage and enemy debuffing/ally buffing. Need more testing but looking good already.
Tier ACan deal pretty nice burst but since she relies heavily on Crystalized status, not that great in Ancient.
Tier AJust amazing with good damage, can burn, movement speed boost when enraged.
Tier A
Tier ANice for backline counter of needed but not univerally working, Still, on of the better backline-targeting troops in Top Troops.
Tier AReally interesting mechanic and the longer you can make it alive, the more mechs you will gain and the more powerful the Dwarf Enigneer actually gets.
Tier A
Tier ATank support. I'm not in love as defense won't win battles in Top Troops but can work and is not a bad troop.
Tier AOne of the chunkiest troops on Top Troops but also not much more than a meatnshield.
Solid damage, uses basic attacks for his main skill instead of cooldown and has some crowd control effects that can delay other heroes. But, his targeting is the straightforward closest-target-until-it-is-gone so there are ways where this doesn't really work all too well and also his freeze feels a tad short to really make a huge impact.
Tier AEletrocute is good before there are more setups that can counter that, so early and mid game they are great, later not too much anyore.
Tier Abad for Ancient since they are immune to Crystalized effect but can do some work in Arena. Still, for most players not too interesting.
not really working all too well in Ancient since the crystalized status will not work there, other than that a solid damage dealer.
Tier AJust how convenient the knockbacks are make her worth it but she is overall pretty good in everything she does.
Tier AOften on a suicide mission but with the right build and right team can actually work.
Has to be paired with Storm to be good but universally not really that impressive - but since Storm has major flaws as well, this is also not a wrecking setup that rules the world.
Tier B+
Tier B+Group freezing is really good in so many cases where you can gain a ton of value with it.
Tier B+
Tier B+Going for backlines can be great but sometimes also effort that is not worth it so I rather rank Trickster in the sitautional tier here for Top Troops.
Tier B+
Tier B+
Tier B+Just super situational dpeending how many stacks she collects while charging her ultimate.
Tier B+
Tier B+
Tier B+More targeted towards Ancient Bosses and very unstable. Sometimes really strong and sometimes can't get enough support possible to stay up.
Easy to overrate and many players believe they are super strong since the hit hard and can directly position counter - but they suffer the same fate as all the other assassina rchetype troops in the game of being lackluster and more or less useless since the role will not strike in a way that will turn battles unless your opponent has a very lopsided setup and then you wouldn't need assassins to break it in the first place.
Tier B+
Tier B+
Tier BPushing is really useful and overall one of the stronger troops on Top Troops.
Tier B
Tier B
Tier BHas quite some flaws. One is the random targeting that also can hit into spots where no enemies are and also overall just misses the bang it needs and crystallize has only a chance to proc so it is not that reliably.
Tier B
Tier BNice on paper but in reality doesn't do much and is too easy to take down.
Tier B
Tier C+Situationally great against certain setups but can also fail miserably.
Tier C+
Tier C+Situational and I am not universally in love with it as sometimes it just comes out to do barely anything.
Tier C+
Tier C+Can work as control against certain particular setup but in general not too crazy.
Tier CHave seen some funky stuff here and most of the times Stone Hermit is situationally working, at best, in Top Troops.
Tier CGood against poison, I give them that but other than that not too useful.
Tier CIf you run a lot of them you can do stuff, but you can also use better troops.
Tier CAlong with the right troops a real banger but has been falling out of the meta for quite a while now.
Tier Cmeatshield that requires to die which you don't really want. I am not the biggest fan.
Tier DNice healing mechanics but the range is annoying and not working well with the kit.
Tier DNot viable past early game.
Tier DNot viable past early game.
Tier DNot viable past early game.

Conclusion
I hope this overview helped you about the general overview what troops are working well in Top Troops and which ones are rather mediocre or even bad. If you have any further questions, would like me to add anything or just thank for the list… feel free to drop a comment below.
Lovely list, would enjoy seeing options for early game or late game. I’m noticing the delivery guy is carrying me very early game and he’s not even mentioned. Necromancer rat and Golem carry early game too.
Why werewolf is s+ werewolf is D
It looks like you accidentally removed Sekmhet when you added Zeus
Good spot! Thanks for pointing it out, I indeed did. My bad, list is now corrected including Sekmhet. Thanks!
Great guide. FYI: Your icon is missing for several of the characters. For example, Cleric..
Thanks Brian, also for letting me know about the icons!
