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 heroes Edith, Abyzou and Esme and I have updated all hero builds with the new sets – and unlike other sources not just added them, I started my tests basically from scratch and that is why it took a little longer. I hope you enjoy what believe is the most acurate tier list and build collection of Watcher of Realms now.
Please also make sure to check out my freshly udpated tier list for the artifacts in Watcher of Realms here.
Here is the new faction at a glance:
Search:
- DoloresS+Best BuildThe 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: HealerCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: S+Tide: C+Raids: A+Best Build
- ElowynS+Best BuildBest overall healer in the game and useful everywhere and in any team.Class: HealerCampaign: S+Void Rift: S+Guild Boss: S+Tide: S+Raids: SBest Build
- HatssutS+Best BuildCan be used pretty much everywhere and crucial for Gear Raid IIIClass: MarksmanCampaign: SVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: ATide: S+Raids: S+Best Build
- SalazarS+Best BuildGreat single-target burst damage if you need it - but that is really useful in most game modes in Watcher of RealmsClass: FighterCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: S+Tide: SRaids: B+Best Build
- ViernaS+Best BuildArea 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 RealmsClass: MageCampaign: SVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: BTide: SRaids: SBest Build
- UredinSBest BuildStats 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 topClass: FighterCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: S+Tide: SRaids: B+Best Build
- ArroganceSBest BuildGreat overall damage output makes him a useful ehero in pretty much all game modes and ges well with many setups.Class: FighterCampaign: SVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: STide: S+Raids: A+Best Build
- LayaSBest BuildSolid healing and damage buff but also increases rage.Class: HealerCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: STide: A+Raids: A+Best Build
- MorriganSBest BuildDeals solid area damage and boost othersClass: MageCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: A+Raids: ABest Build
- ZilituSBest BuildOne of the best heroes for Guild Boss to deal massive damageClass: FighterCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: S+Tide: SRaids: ABest Build
- AlistairSBest BuildVery nice and solid kit for anything single-target damage with true damage that can be very helpfulClass: MageCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: S+Tide: SRaids: ABest Build
- ArtemisSBest BuildMeta for new Gear Raid so if you want to stay competitive in the future you really want himClass: HealerCampaign: SVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: BTide: B+Raids: S+Best Build
- ValderonSBest BuildSimply 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: FighterCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: ATide: A+Raids: SBest Build
- LustA+Best BuildIf 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 hereClass: FighterCampaign: A+Void Rift: SGuild Boss: STide: SRaids: A+Best Build
- KaiA+Best BuildGreat AoE damage dealer and essential for Gear Raid 3 late game in Watchers of RealmsClass: MarksmanCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: BTide: B+Raids: S+Best Build
- AbominationA+Best BuildAmazing offesive tank with high base HP and useful in many game modes.Class: FighterCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: A+Tide: SRaids: B+Best Build
- AjaxA+Best BuildNukes 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: MageCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: B+Raids: B+Best Build
- ArdeaA+Best BuildPretty good damage and mechanics overallClass: FighterCampaign: A+Void Rift: SGuild Boss: ATide: SRaids: ABest Build
- BrokkirA+Best BuildAmazing defender in Watcher of Realms with shielding, fatal damage resisting and immunity and he also gives defense buffs to allies as well.Class: DefenderCampaign: S+Void Rift: S+Guild Boss: DTide: SRaids: C+Best Build
- ElddrA+Best BuildInteresting kit with shielding and damage and buffs damage for allies that are shielded.Class: FighterCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: ATide: A+Raids: BBest Build
- HexA+Best BuildDeals great range magic damage where other ranged heroes in Watcher of Realms only deal piercing damage.Class: MarksmanCampaign: SVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: S+Tide: A+Raids: B+Best Build
- KhametA+Best BuildDeals burst area damage and can deal well with tank enemies.Class: MageCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: C+Tide: A+Raids: ABest Build
- BoreasA+Best BuildExcells in GR1 and great in Arena and overall a very solid package espcially when you can make much of the freeze synergyClass: MageCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: C+Tide: ARaids: SBest Build
- LugaruA+Best BuildGood bleed damage dealer but needs a support as he will damage himself and is not that sustainable with his kit.Class: FighterCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: A+Tide: ARaids: BBest Build
- OlagueA+Best BuildOne 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: DefenderCampaign: S+Void Rift: S+Guild Boss: DTide: A+Raids: C+Best Build
- SolcadensA+Best BuildOverall solid damage dealer in most game modes, including Gear Raid 1Class: MageCampaign: AVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: STide: SRaids: ABest Build
- SetramA+Best BuildGood 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 messyClass: MarksmanCampaign: SVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: S+Tide: SRaids: ABest Build
- SilasA+Best BuildHigh single-target percing damage and pretty reliable damage output overall.Class: MarksmanCampaign: SVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: STide: A+Raids: BBest Build
- TorodorA+Best BuildSelf-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: DefenderCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: STide: ARaids: BBest Build
- TwinfiendA+Best BuildIncredible for Guild Boss once you got his Awakening 1 to support Zilitu as your damage dealer in Guild Boss.Class: MageCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: S+Tide: ARaids: BBest Build
- WrathA+Best BuildGood damage and can watch himself without needing much support - pretty much plug-and-playClass: FighterCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: STide: SRaids: BBest Build
- EdithA+Best BuildReally cool tank that can also do quite some work with knockback and AoE damage to hold a full lane by herselfClass: DefenderCampaign: SVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: CTide: A+Raids: ABest Build
- PelagiosA+Best BuildGood for cc but the damage output is not there if you compare him to a hero like BoreasClass: MarksmanCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: C+Tide: ARaids: ABest Build
- PraetusA+Best BuildReally good but I feel some player overhype as Silas still makes more DPSClass: MageCampaign: SVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: STide: A+Raids: BBest Build
- AbyzouA+Best BuildAmazing 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 heroClass: MageCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: C+Tide: ARaids: A+Best Build
- EunomiaA+Best BuildPretty 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 gameClass: HealerCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: CTide: ARaids: B+Best Build
- DemiA+Best BuildGreat for her slow effect and in Gear Raid 1Class: MageCampaign: AVoid Rift: A+Guild Boss: BTide: SRaids: SBest Build
- GiseleABest BuildShe 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: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: ATide: B+Raids: BBest Build
- AlauraABest BuildHer 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: MarksmanCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: BTide: A+Raids: ABest Build
- CalypsoABest BuildBuilds 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: MarksmanCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: STide: A+Raids: C+Best Build
- Captain ReveABest BuildGood crowd control and damage but only available in events.Class: DefenderCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: ARaids: B+Best Build
- CarnelianABest BuildDeal 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: HealerCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: CTide: ARaids: B+Best Build
- CerberusABest BuildThere 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: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: DTide: BRaids: B+Best Build
- ContanceABest BuildHealer, buffer and blocker and useful in sections where she can block enemies and heal fighers around herselfClass: DefenderCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: A+Tide: A+Raids: A+Best Build
- CyrusABest BuildGreat range and summon kit with area damage and can survive fatal hits in multiple stages.Class: DefenderCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: A+Raids: B+Best Build
- DeimosABest BuildHis damage scales by his own max HP and can be great in Build Boss teams.Class: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: STide: B+Raids: CBest Build
- EonaABest BuildGreat area magic damage for an epic hero and a great carry for long times in Watcher of Realms before you really need legendaries.Class: MageCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: CTide: A+Raids: B+Best Build
- GhanABest BuildSolid 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: DefenderCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: B+Tide: ARaids: B+Best Build
- HollowABest BuildHealing and rage boosting makes her a great hero that goes so well with many teams in Watcher of Realms.Class: HealerCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: A+Tide: ARaids: B+Best Build
- KinezaABest BuildNice Fighter with some sustain and dodge and overall solid performance against most but airborne mobsClass: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: A+Tide: A+Raids: B+Best Build
- King HarzABest BuildCan tank for most and with a good defender down, he does do very well.Class: DefenderCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: DTide: ARaids: BBest Build
- KriaABest BuildGreat against mob waves but she needs to constantly kill enemies to really show her full potential.Class: MageCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: B+Raids: B+Best Build
- LaseerABest BuildSolid 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: MageCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: DTide: B+Raids: B+Best Build
- MaulABest BuildIf you need burst area damage, he is a fantastic choice and with Awakening you can get slow and freeze as well.Class: MarksmanCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: CTide: B+Raids: B+Best Build
- NocturneABest BuildGreat 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: MageCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: STide: ARaids: BBest Build
- PyrosABest BuildGreat debuffs and a very good hero for Guild Boss to deal more damage.Class: MageCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: S+Tide: BRaids: CBest Build
- RazaakABest BuildPiercing 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: MarksmanCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: A+Tide: ARaids: A+Best Build
- SargakABest BuildHas 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: MarksmanCampaign: AVoid Rift: AGuild Boss: A+Tide: ARaids: C+Best Build
- TheowinABest BuildSlowing and area damage make him a solid hero to run and a great early carry hero to have.Class: MarksmanCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: B+Raids: BBest Build
- VolkaABest BuildWith Awakending you can respawn allies quicker and her team lifesteal make her a great heroClass: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: B+Tide: ARaids: BBest Build
- VortexABest BuildGreat 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: HealerCampaign: SVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: CTide: A+Raids: B+Best Build
- KrodorABest BuildSolid 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 healingClass: DefenderCampaign: AVoid Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: ARaids: B+Best Build
- TruskABest BuildGreat 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 wantClass: DefenderCampaign: A+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: ARaids: ABest Build
- EsmeABest BuildPretty versatile espcially for an epic hero. the poison ticks well, the targeting and extra damage do, too - overall a marksman hero worth buildingClass: MarksmanCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: ATide: B+Raids: ABest Build
- FerssiABest BuildDamage reduction and passive only applies to AoE damage recieved and overall Dolores just does a betterjob at buffingClass: HealerCampaign: AVoid Rift: B+Guild Boss: A+Tide: B+Raids: B+Best Build
- ThallenB+Best BuildGood 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 RealmsClass: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: BRaids: B+Best Build
- AnaiB+Best BuildDecent kit overall and not a huge issue if you build her but also she is not the hero that will make or break your roasterClass: MageCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: CTide: B+Raids: B+Best Build
- Admiral ClawB+Best BuildCan 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 RealmsClass: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: BTide: B+Raids: ABest Build
- ApsanB+Best BuildFighter 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 himClass: FighterCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: B+Tide: B+Raids: BBest Build
- AylinB+Best BuildJust 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: HealerCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: BTide: B+Raids: B+Best Build
- BaronB+Best BuildGreat defender overall and espcially amazing epic defender with decent damage for a defender that can carry you in Gear Raid IIClass: DefenderCampaign: SVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: DTide: A+Raids: BBest Build
- BrienneB+Best BuildReally needs her ultimate to pop and air units to attack - if you take this as her condition, she is great.Class: MarksmanCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: C+Tide: B+Raids: C+Best Build
- EzrynB+Best BuildGreat 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 healerClass: HealerCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: A+Raids: B+Best Build
- FalciaB+Best BuildRequires 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: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: A+Tide: B+Raids: C+Best Build
- IsoldeB+Best BuildSolid 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: DefenderCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: DTide: BRaids: C+Best Build
- KaedeB+Best BuildHas potential but also pitfalls and works best in a team based around Chaos Dominion faction heroes, tbh.Class: MageCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: CTide: BRaids: C+Best Build
- LuneriaB+Best BuildA marksman with magic damage and good at killing bosses but needs a markman team to really work well.Class: MarksmanCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: ATide: ARaids: BBest Build
- MidanB+Best BuildOkay 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 effectClass: HealerCampaign: SVoid Rift: SGuild Boss: CTide: B+Raids: BBest Build
- NyxB+Best BuildGreat 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 laneClass: MarksmanCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: CTide: B+Raids: B+Best Build
- RegulusB+Best BuildDefender 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: DefenderCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: DTide: B+Raids: C+Best Build
- SadieB+Best BuildProtects allies and heals them, but her healing is not the greatest and her main support is helping survivnge strong single-shots.Class: HealerCampaign: A+Void Rift: A+Guild Boss: CTide: BRaids: BBest Build
- IdrilB+Best BuildSolid 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 bitClass: MarksmanCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: B+Tide: B+Raids: CBest Build
- ValeriyaB+Best BuildDamage 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: FighterCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: B+Tide: B+Raids: BBest Build
- ValkyraB+Best BuildCan 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: FighterCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: C+Tide: B+Raids: BBest Build
- VargusB+Best BuildNot 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 reductionClass: MarksmanCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: C+Tide: B+Raids: C+Best Build
- VenomaB+Best BuildI like the mechanics but right now her faction is not strong enough to make the best synergies to be strong enough.Class: MageCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: CTide: B+Raids: B+Best Build
- ZelusB+Best BuildSolid 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: MageCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: CTide: CRaids: BBest Build
- DraygaBBest BuildNot really that impressiveClass: DefenderCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: D+Tide: C+Raids: CBest Build
- FilippaBBest BuildWith her magic damage not really useful in GR3, her ultimate rage cap is quite high. She is not the better Brienne many believe she is.Class: MarksmanCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: C+Tide: B+Raids: C+Best Build
- AeonBBest BuildActually 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.Class: MageCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: DTide: B+Raids: BBest Build
- AzhorBBest BuildToo inconsistent as defender, espcially as the claimed end-game legendary defender his skill kit promisesClass: DefenderCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: DTide: CRaids: D+Best Build
- DurzaBBest BuildReally 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.Class: MageCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: C+Tide: C+Raids: BBest Build
- GreedBBest BuildOverall decent kit with ton of slow and AoE but the fact that airborne targets take less damage make him less versatileClass: MageCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: C+Tide: BRaids: BBest Build
- GwendolynBBest BuildHas a lot of shielding instead of healing and the only real case for her is keeping your folks save in Gear Raid 2Class: HealerCampaign: BVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: DTide: C+Raids: ABest Build
- JanqharBBest BuildQuite alright although nothing special but with the silencing basic attacks can stall and hold some enemies and along with a tank close a gap. One of the better epic fighter heroes in Watcher of ealmsClass: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: C+Tide: B+Raids: CBest Build
- LivianBBest BuildNot bad but also not the greatest defender. Viable until you get a better one so don't go overboard building her.Class: DefenderCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: DTide: C+Raids: CBest Build
- MarriBBest BuildThe 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 slotClass: MageCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: DTide: B+Raids: BBest Build
- NissandeiBBest BuildHeals 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.Class: HealerCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: ATide: B+Raids: BBest Build
- ShamirBBest BuildIn 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.Class: MageCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: C+Tide: BRaids: C+Best Build
- VladovBBest BuildHe 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.Class: FighterCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: A+Tide: B+Raids: CBest Build
- VorothBBest BuildConsecutive 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 lessClass: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: B+Tide: C+Raids: CBest Build
- JorgeC+Best BuildDesigned 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.Class: DefenderCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: DTide: BRaids: CBest Build
- ArdethC+Best BuildJust 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.Class: DefenderCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: DTide: C+Raids: CBest Build
- AvelineC+Best BuildSome stuns but honestly there are so many better options available in Watcher of Realms!Class: DefenderCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: DTide: BRaids: CBest Build
- CyreneC+Best BuildShe is more support than fighter but none of her buffs or traits is really that powerful to overcome the fact that she barely deals damage with her kitClass: FighterCampaign: DVoid Rift: DGuild Boss: DTide: DRaids: CBest Build
- DalynC+Best BuildIncredible boring kit without anything that is fun or does anything - nothing more than a statboxClass: FighterCampaign: DVoid Rift: DGuild Boss: DTide: CRaids: C+Best Build
- DassomiC+Best BuildWorks 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.Class: HealerCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: CTide: CRaids: C+Best Build
- EstridC+Best BuildOkay overall and solid base stats but not a figher hero you will use that long sinply because she doesn't provide anything signifanct later in the game that might make her interestingClass: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: B+Tide: C+Raids: CBest Build
- ImaniC+Best BuildPretty straightforward hero with the limitations of the stats not scaling enough to make the skills impactful after a certain point anymore.Class: MageCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: A+Tide: BRaids: BBest Build
- LaurelC+Best BuildLike 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.Class: MageCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: B+Tide: CRaids: BBest Build
- LightlockeC+Best BuildHas 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, thoughClass: HealerCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: CTide: BRaids: C+Best Build
- MerielC+Best BuildTheoretically 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...Class: DefenderCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: DTide: C+Raids: CBest Build
- NauvrasC+Best BuildThe kit is cool in terms of gamedesign, but overall not a hero that does to much and I don't recommend building him.Class: MageCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: BTide: C+Raids: C+Best Build
- OrimC+Best BuildLet'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?!Class: DefenderCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: DTide: BRaids: CBest Build
- RaidenC+Best BuildAlthough 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.Class: MageCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: CTide: B+Raids: CBest Build
- ScorchC+Best BuildOkay but actually nothing special or anything to really care about unless he is the first fighter you pull early and use him until you get better ones.Class: FighterCampaign: B+Void Rift: B+Guild Boss: CTide: C+Raids: CBest Build
- AiCBest BuildShe could be so cool but her kit is just lacking a lot and later in the game she becomes irrelevant. Really sad, I was very excited about her.Class: MageCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: DTide: CRaids: CBest Build
- AtroxCBest BuildExtremely 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?!Class: FighterCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: DTide: C+Raids: BBest Build
- AzzothCBest BuildIn theory has potential but his stats and multipliers won't let him work later in the game and keep up with legendary or even good epic mages in Watcher of RealmsClass: MageCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: C+Tide: C+Raids: CBest Build
- BrunorCBest BuildThe 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 senseClass: MarksmanCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: C+Tide: CRaids: CBest Build
- CrachCBest BuildReally disappointing legendary hero and none to really buildClass: MarksmanCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: CTide: DRaids: CBest Build
- CycloneCBest BuildThe pushback is the only thing I like but a manual ultimate from a unit that has a hard time sustain and doesn't deal good damage is not enough to really make him rank great here.Class: FighterCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: CTide: CRaids: C+Best Build
- DaemonCBest BuildHas 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 shortlyClass: FighterCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: DTide: C+Raids: D+Best Build
- GluttonyCBest BuildInstakills with damage based on HP sounds quite awesome, but in reality he is not working and nothing more than a statboxClass: FighterCampaign: BVoid Rift: BGuild Boss: C+Tide: C+Raids: D+Best Build
- HarpunCBest BuildThe kit could work well, but the stats don't scale enough to really make an impact once you left the earlier stages of the game.Class: MarksmanCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: CTide: CRaids: CBest Build
- LiliCBest BuildDecent early-game healer but her single-target heals without much more to it doesn't let her sustain against the other healers in Watcher of Realms.Class: HealerCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: DTide: CRaids: C+Best Build
- NazeemCBest BuildThe mix between control, support and damage dealing just doesn't work at the end of the dayClass: MageCampaign: C+Void Rift: C+Guild Boss: CTide: C+Raids: D+Best Build
- NisaltCBest BuildJust a weird kit that is not bad but there are so many better heroes available that I don't really see the point in him.Class: MageCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: CTide: CRaids: CBest Build
- OsirenCBest BuildAway from the effect that the hero design is cool, the fact that attack speed won't scale him amkes him practicably unusableClass: MageCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: DTide: CRaids: CBest Build
- SelkathCBest BuildIn theory good if his multipliers would be there. Every skill is just not enoughClass: MageCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: DTide: CRaids: CBest Build
- SoleilCBest BuildFor me one of the weakest heroes in Watcher of Realms. And I am willing to die on that hillClass: MageCampaign: CVoid Rift: CGuild Boss: CTide: CRaids: CBest Build
- TitusCBest BuildSelf-healing defender but has a weird kit as he can't be healed and needs to be hit to heal himself. Later in the game he is not able to stand up anymoreClass: DefenderCampaign: DVoid Rift: DGuild Boss: DTide: DRaids: CBest Build

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?
