Watcher of Realms has a lot of heroes and also a lot of game modes – hard to decide which heroes are overall good and useful, right? Well, I have decided to make this tier list of her to give you a good overview what heroes are good in Watcher of Realms and which ones are rather meh.
Looking at how much time and resources it takes to build a hero, this should help you decide which ones you invest in and which ones you can rather skip.
The Best Heroes in Watcher of Realms
Alright, below you will find the full list of all the heroes I have evaluated and tested so far in Watcher of Realms and if you open the ‘Show More’ of a hero, you will see a short description and how they do in certain game modes.
Update! Added the new hero Eliza + adjusted a few things in the builts
Please also make sure to check out my freshly udpated tier list for the artifacts in Watcher of Realms here and the overview of the best teams for the different game modes here.
Here is the new faction at a glance:
Search:
Dolores
S+
The thing with Dolores is that her healing is not enough to make her heal alone but a generally good base healing that bases on target stats as well so she can run end-game with maxed legendaries as well. Her main treat is her ultimate that will increase the attack of all allies in range (also by target stats percentage) and she will bump up everyone and is useful practically everywhere and up to end-game..
Class:Healer

Best overall healer in the game and useful everywhere and in any team..

Hatssut

Can be used pretty much everywhere and crucial for Gear Raid III.
Class:Marksman

Salazar

Great single-target burst damage if you need it - but that is really useful in most game modes in Watcher of Realms.
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Vierna
S+
Area damage and clearing waves, this is waht you use her best so only Guild Boss is a weak spot for her, otherwise useful in pretty much all game modes of Watcher of Realms.
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Ymiret
S+
Really hard to express how insane this hero is. If you do the invest you will have a hero that will nuke and nuke and nuke and crowd control pretty much everything coming his way. Paired with Anore it gets even crazier. Expensive invest but one you will not regret if you want to do it..
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Ingrid
S+
Wild kit that can switch whenever you need it to either AoE a lane or focus down - but the bad news is you need quite some Awakning to really make her shine..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Anora
S+
Tons of AoE damage and excels crazy once paired with Ymiret things get wild. I mean for sure a hero for spenders to make her roll but goes wild if you do..
Class:Mage

Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Alistair
S
Very nice and solid kit for anything single-target damage with true damage that can be very helpful.
Class:Mage
Campaign:

Arrogance
S
Great overall damage output makes him a useful ehero in pretty much all game modes and ges well with many setups..
Class:Fighter

Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Meta for new Gear Raid so if you want to stay competitive in the future you really want him.
Class:Healer
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Dahlia
S
Many peole say her range is weird but in fact you can lay vertical lines with her blossoms to inflict slow and deal AoE damage which makes her incredibly effective. Really good hero to go for if you have the summons saved up.
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Iovar

Holy moly damage dealer that clears his turf a lot. Incredible marksman hero if you dare to build him.
Class:Marksman

Solid healing and damage buff but also increases rage..

Deals solid area damage and boost others.
Class:Mage

Stats that go through the roof, area damage and stun... I guess that already satify his ranking here in the tier list, right? If he wouldn't be a fighter his ranking would be very top.
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Valderon
S
Simply a crazy hero, dealing so much and massive damage with self-buffing to amounts that are beyond normal. Needs support to stay alive, though, but what fighter in Watcher of Realms doesn't?.
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Zilitu

One of the best heroes for Guild Boss to deal massive damage.
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Helga
S
Super interesting kit that will work great as 2nd line of defense where she attacks ultra fast and deals a ton of damage. She can also hold a lane by herself as she deals a ton of damage before enemies actually reach her. A lot of fun actually.
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Lust
A+
If you have Arrogance and a solid Nightmare Council setup she is extremely strong and elevate that team with her kit. If not, well, she is not bad but not my first choice for many situations so the ranking is really depending here.
Class:Fighter

Amazing offesive tank with high base HP and useful in many game modes..
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Nukes AoE like crazy and applies burn. Insane damage dealer if you manage to pull and build him. Downside? Yes, the deploy costs make him sometimes not viable as it takes too long to get him on the map....
Class:Mage

Pretty good damage and mechanics overall.
Class:Fighter

Amazing defender in Watcher of Realms with shielding, fatal damage resisting and immunity and he also gives defense buffs to allies as well..
Class:Defender

Really cool tank that can also do quite some work with knockback and AoE damage to hold a full lane by herself.
Class:Defender
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:

Great kit, quite cool mechanics and crazy high base stats make her an interesting fighter actually. She won't crush everywhere but she can do well in most parts for sure and I love how her ult becomes permanent after using it twice.

Great AoE damage dealer and essential for Gear Raid 3 late game in Watchers of Realms.

Deals burst area damage and can deal well with tank enemies..
Class:Mage

Good bleed damage dealer but needs a support as he will damage himself and is not that sustainable with his kit..
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Olague
A+
One of the best defenders in Watcher of Realms also due to his shielding from his passive ability that is basically activa the whole time..
Class:Defender
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Setram
A+
Good single-target damage that excels in range which can be so useful in certain situations but also in general a good hero in Watcher of Realms. He can be your last resort with his ultimate if things get messy.
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Silas
A+
High single-target percing damage and pretty reliable damage output overall..
Class:Marksman

Overall solid damage dealer in most game modes, including Gear Raid 1.
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Torodor

Self-reviving tank, I think this justify his rank here easily. Low maintenance and good impact and deals quite some damage when awakened quite a bit..
Class:Defender
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:

Twinfiend

Incredible for Guild Boss once you got his Awakening 1 to support Zilitu as your damage dealer in Guild Boss..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Wrath
A+
Good damage and can watch himself without needing much support - pretty much plug-and-play.
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Good for cc but the damage output is not there if you compare him to a hero like Boreas.
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Praetus
A+
Really good but I feel some player overhype as Silas still makes more DPS.
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Serephina
A+
She stacks her Mythic Flame and then snowballs with that which makes her useful in many modes but the reality is she is not that crusher mage hero in Watcher of Realms looking at the higher-ranked ones. She is good, but not a must-built hero at this point if you have a solid lineup already.
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Abyzou
A+
Amazing area damage and keeps her range clear, with rage accumulation and a lot of damage to every enemy entering her range. Wish her range would be bigger but overall she is a grear mage hero.
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Eunomia
A+
Pretty good actually and I had a lot of fun running her recently but rather consider her an end-game healer that you don't have to think too much about earlier in the game.
Class:Healer
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Demi
A+
Great for her slow effect and in Gear Raid 1.
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Raids:
Init
A
Init has quite a unique kit with basically using allies to deal damage in their range through his cores but he needs to be quite well awakened and built to pop that ultimate over and over again..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Alaura
A
Her invisiblity makes her sometimes a swiss army knife in difficult areas and in Guild Raid 3 a very important hero to have in Watcher of Realms..
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Calypso
A
Builds up more and more damage and is a good single-target damage dealer in Watcher of Realms so whenever you don't need burst (e.g. Guild Boss) and deal single-target damage, she is a great choice..
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Captain Reve
A
Good crowd control and damage but only available in events..
Class:Defender
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Carnelian
A
Deal area damage but that's not too impressive - the main reason she is here is that she can grant fatal immunity to allies which last and the way she applies them comes out to be really helpful espcially when you get her build to a point where the effect jumps and applies it to all allies in range. Her healing is overall nothing to really count on as the trigger is quite problematic..
Class:Healer
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Cerberus
A
There is multiple aspects to him - first of all he deals a ton of damage but most of his kit is also designed to use him as a last resort to prevent enemies passing and let him die to re-deploy him. He does what he does but needs the timig and enough players struggle with him at first simply because he seems to be really squishy (until you get to the point where you let him die enough and re-deploy him and just accept that as his kit the way it is). The revival times will go up each time and he is rather a 'you-shall-not-pass' hero than one to deploy and forget for the battle..
Class:Fighter

Constance
A
Healer, buffer and blocker and useful in sections where she can block enemies and heal fighers around herself.
Class:Defender

Great range and summon kit with area damage and can survive fatal hits in multiple stages..
Class:Defender

His damage scales by his own max HP and can be great in Build Boss teams..
Class:Fighter

Great area magic damage for an epic hero and a great carry for long times in Watcher of Realms before you really need legendaries..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Esme
A
Pretty versatile espcially for an epic hero. the poison ticks well, the targeting and extra damage do, too - overall a marksman hero worth building.
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Solid tank and great damage for your team and with healers around he can sustain quite a lot while helping your team ramp up damage output..
Class:Defender

She is alright don't get me wrong but there is nothing in her kit that other heroes in Watcher of Realms can't do..
Class:Fighter

Healing and rage boosting makes her a great hero that goes so well with many teams in Watcher of Realms..
Class:Healer

Nice Fighter with some sustain and dodge and overall solid performance against most but airborne mobs.

Class:Defender

Great against mob waves but she needs to constantly kill enemies to really show her full potential..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:

Krodor
A
Solid defender that can do some work on the damage side and blocking, although needs a good support hero and doesn't stand a chnace without constant healing.
Class:Defender
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Laseer
A
Solid overall but primarily useful for his anti-healing debuff when you need it. There's not too many situations right now where you really would need the heal-blocking but even without a solid area damage dealer that you can run successful in many magic teams..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:

Magmus
A
Not too crazy overpowerd but a soid hero that can deal his damage but only in certain maps and situations..
Class:Fighter
Campaign:

If you need burst area damage, he is a fantastic choice and with Awakening you can get slow and freeze as well..
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:

Nocturne
A
Great single-target damage dealer for magic damage and dropped a little with Hex in the mix but still a good Guild Boss and other PvE content character..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:

Pyros
A
Great debuffs and a very good hero for Guild Boss to deal more damage..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Razaak
A
Piercing damage and area damage alone makes him a good hero in Watcher of Realms. He can burst like crazy, espcially when paired with a attack supporter hero..
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Sargak
A
Has the potential to burst like crazy but also needs a healer to keep him alive during that. His ultimate cleans and strikes like a truck if you make it work..
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Theowin
A
Slowing and area damage make him a solid hero to run and a great early carry hero to have..
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Trusk
A
Great in Arena and does some work but he is not the crazy defender that can withstand a lot or deal significant damage. He is good in all but not the main defender your want.
Class:Defender
Campaign:
Void Rift:

With Awakending you can respawn allies quicker and her team lifesteal make her a great hero.
Class:Fighter

Vortex
A
Great range healer and scales his healing by max HP - would rank him higher if he would have buffs but out-of-the box an easy plug-and-play healer..
Class:Healer
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Lucius
A
Only useful against elites and bosses where he ramps up damage. Will not change the world in Watcher of Realms and is not overpowered by no means but also not a bad hero..
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Damage reduction and passive only applies to AoE damage recieved and overall Dolores just does a betterjob at buffing.
Class:Healer
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Raids:
Glacius
B+
Mage with a lot of cc actually but that makes him more niche use when you need the slow and freeze and also can build synergy off that. Not really shining that much in overall damage output.
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Myca
B+
At the end of the day she needs time build up her damage output since she needs to trigger her effecty multiple times and then starts snowballing - so big chunky enemies are the only place where she shines which are bosses, primarily Guide Boss and a bit in raids and events.
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Kalina
B+
When fully built can deal quite some true damage burst for an epic hero and is more on the side of epics to built. I really do like her and even think her ranking here is more conservative and can eventually be higher. Building her is for sure no mistake..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Admiral Claw
B+
Can do quite some work and damage but also requires a lot of attention with the way he pulls, descreases stats and scales through that. Not a plug-and-play hero in Watchers of Realms.
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Decent kit overall and not a huge issue if you build her but also she is not the hero that will make or break your roaster.
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Apsan
B+
Fighter with air focus can be useful in very niche situations but overall not too many cases where you can universally use him that make it really wirth investing in him.
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Aylin
B+
Just a healer. Why I say 'just'? Well, there is nothing else she provides than raw healing and no buffs in her kit compared to other healers available in Watcher of Realms..
Class:Healer
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Great defender overall and espcially amazing epic defender with decent damage for a defender that can carry you in Gear Raid II.
Class:Defender
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Really needs her ultimate to pop and air units to attack - if you take this as her condition, she is great..
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Ezryn
B+
Great ultimate that can heal anywhere on the map if neededd, but expensive to level and doesn't provide buffs for allies and, on top of that, is only a single-target healer.
Class:Healer
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Falcia
B+
Requires shield for her passive and her ultimate, as good as it is, will not switch targets if she overkills. That makes her waste some potential and the North faction also don't really fits her kit too well..
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Idril
B+
Solid with good single-target damage and you can save up her ultimate that can attack anywhere on the map to take out waiting bosses to relief your defense a little bit.
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Isolde
B+
Solid epic defender and early-to-mid game one of the great bread-and-butter heroes also for just enabling the lord bonus on your carry heroes. Later just has problems as can't scale stat-wise enough to sustain well but building her early will give you a great defender that you will use for quite some time..
Class:Defender
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Kaede

Has potential but also pitfalls and works best in a team based around Chaos Dominion faction heroes, tbh..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Eliza
B+
Passive ultimate that also kind-of requires you to redeploy her to stay active (and for the damage boost you actually want that). I have a hard time really giving her a rank since she is alright in many situations and quite okay to acquire and has the Lord Skill but on the other hand I ask myself... why? There are so many better marksman that are worth it or easier to build available and they don't need constant re-deployment..
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:

Luneria

A marksman with magic damage and good at killing bosses but needs a markman team to really work well..
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Magda
B+
Not a bad hero overall but also none you say you want to build. Needs allies to die to scale her Crit Damage and needs to run her ultimate non-stop but here also the range becomes a bottleneck. If you do some lucky pulls okay, but wouldn't invest much here. Yes, she is good in GR1, but so are tons of other heroes and chances are high you already have a good setup there. I just don't see the point..
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Midan
B+
Okay healing but dispelling debuffs is not that much needed (yet) and her passive def buff is only effective if no stronger is in effect so often times will not take effect.
Class:Healer
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Nyx
B+
Great range but also her deployment costs are quite high and there are simply more versatile marksmen in the game. Still, very useful in Gear Raid III to cover a side lane.
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Regulus
B+
Defender that can keep allies alive. Why not ranked higher? Other defender ranked higher defend as good as he does and he doesn't provide any buffs or shielding except the fatal blow surviving of allies..
Class:Defender
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:

Protects allies and heals them, but her healing is not the greatest and her main support is helping survivnge strong single-shots..
Class:Healer
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Raids:
Thallen
B+
Good for GR1 (hilarious, right?) and decent enough AoE damage with the Ultimate if you need it but not a hero you must have in Watchers of Realms.
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Valeriya
B+
Damage output when critically needed is there and her passive can protect her at least from dying during the ultimate, but each strike ticks her down and without heavy shielding beforehand and strong healing she will most of the times go down when you use her ultimate which is not too optimal in most situations..
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Valkyra
B+
Can work behind a defender and deal piercing damage and apply a great debuff. Her low block rate sometimes is annoying but her revive is useful at times. Overll if she would be epic I'd rank her higher but the investment in her as legendary hero compared to other legendaries is questionable. She was the first legendary I pulled so she carried me quite a while in earlier modes as off-tank but has fallen off later..
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Vargus
B+
Not bad for what he is and does good damage, espcially against airborne mobs. The problem is his ultimate makes his really vulnerable with the self-health reduction.
Class:Marksman
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Venoma

I like the mechanics but right now her faction is not strong enough to make the best synergies to be strong enough..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:

Zelus

Solid debuffs and damage but quite high placement costs that I don't think are justified enough to rank him hier in this tier list in Watcher of Realms..
Class:Mage
Campaign:
Void Rift:
Guild Boss:
Tide:
Raids:
Ares
B+
Priarily reduces DEF of sturdy enemies but has some flaws himself so is rather an enabler for other heroes - also needs to have hiw own DEF Reduction active on target to do somewhat damage himself and this only works if no stronger effect is in place..
Class:Fighter
Campaign:
Void Rift:

Actually not a bad but interesting kit, but in reality doesn't deliver the damage output needed and the control is normally not making up for that..

Too inconsistent as defender, espcially as the claimed end-game legendary defender his skill kit promises.

Really needs more Chaos Faction heroes in your team and additional healing or he will take out your entire team. If you make it work he heavily buffs, though..

Overall decent kit with ton of slow and AoE but the fact that airborne targets take less damage make him less versatile.

Not bad but also not the greatest defender. Viable until you get a better one so don't go overboard building her..

The freezing is nice and the area damage as well, but the overall damage falls off quite soon and then her only real use-case is freezing and slowing down enemies and I think that is not that great for taking up a slot.

Heals okay, buffs allies. Not bad for a epic hero but later she can't keep your team alive anymore but in earlier stages of the game absolutely fine to use..

Is he an amazing cool new fighter that is worth it? Well, he is not and actually his kit design is good, the BIG problem with him is like any other fighter class hero in Watcher of Realms that have their damage base off another stat (in his case it's HP) that they simply won't work in the later stages of the game. You can get him and hope there will be a redesign someday in the future but at this current state he will just be a dust collector once you leave the early stages of the game..

In terms of damage he is rather meh, even compared with some epic mages in the game. The fact that makes him stand out is the slowing effect that he constnatly applies and stacks so slow down mob waves while your damage dealers take care of them..

He needs to kill with his ultimate or he will die, simple at that. So his ultimate is more like a burst if you have a wave of mobs incoming. If there are none, your healer has a lot to deal with to keep him alive as his ultimate will kill him..

Consecutive hits and whirlwind attacks sounds cool but at the end of the day the hero is a more than solid epic fighter, nothing more but nothing less.

Just can't scale enough to be viable after a certain point - and before that as well there is not enough gear to make him work well. Overall a hero you very likely will replace sooner than later..

Works with the cross-synergies of the Chaos Dominion team but outside of that there are barely any debuffs that you need cleansed and his healing overall is not that high to make him a great healer pick on his own..

Designed as a defender for Arena to deal damage through his Plague but he can't defend enough and you need a ton of support to keep him up or another tank. I rather have a solid tank and use the extra spot for a good damage dealer instead..

Like a rage battery for the other heroes but honestly why have a hero slot occupied for some extra rage generation of allies? Rather use a hero that actually does something and be better off. I mean her ultimate will restore a total 12% rage for 2 allies, that's not really much..

Has his buff and healing with overflow but simply don't heal enough in his basic attacks to amke him a healer for your team. Can be a useful secondary healer that you can build cheaply, though.

Theoretically good but her healing range makes it useless in most cases and her fixed scaling is not healing it. Do yoursel a favor and don't use her, sorry to point that out like this but there are so many more useful defenders in the game that you can use, even early on, that I can't really see the point in building her....

Let's put aside a few special occasions where you would need this, but the only way he is alright is when you build him for damage. But why would you build a frankenstein-defender-damage hero if you could just do a proper damage dealer fighter instead?!.

Although having a Lord Skill and quite some kit, he just looses tracking due to his stats and skill multipliers that make him pretty much underwhelming after the early stages of the game..

Extremely funky kit overall and dies off and you can place him again and ticks down again, like a living AoE. Just not good, why spend deployment cost over and over instead of having a healer and a figher that stays alive?!.

The only real use you have for him later in the game is when you need to overcharge the range to deal with periodic enemies - but that is not enough to really give him a spot in the meta that makes sense.

Has to die a few times to roll and overall a little squishy kit where you ask yourself why you're not running a decent fighter instead... his ultimate is a passive that really won't do much except stunning shortly.

Solcaden when?
A few epic heroes worth revisiting: Baron, Idril, Nissandei.
Baron is on the same level as Olague. Even if you never 6* him, he’s completely viable in nearly all content. In Tide 130+, I was surprised to see him my top damage dealer a few times, dishing out incomprehensible damage. Stat priority is HP, then DEF, then Rage Regen. I use a lv 25 Heart of Thorn on him, but most artifacts are viable if you’re just looking for a solid defender.
Idril is unfathomably useful in so many parts of the game. I feel like she deserves a bit more recognition for Raids, but shines in Campaign as well. She’s almost a requirement for gear raid 3 if you’re f2p.
Nissandei’s usefulness is niche. But I would consider her the strongest AOE healer in the game. With the release of Immortal Codex check out her scores when healing the Eona statues. Her rating otherwise is probably accurate, it just didn’t look like you’d ever used her.
Did I miss Demi in this list or is she not there?
