Watcher of Realms Best Heroes Tier List 2026 – 3rd Anniversary

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 3rd Anniversary heroes and they are all banger, even the free hero Aurelius is really good. Absolutely slam-dunk from design to skills.

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.

Conclusion

I hope this tier list helps you decide what heroes to run but also what heroes are worth your time and resources to invest in – I will update this tier list frequently so make sure to check back with every update to be up to date with the best heroes in Watcher of Realms. If you have any questions, notes or anything else you feel that needs to be added here, please post a comment below and I will be happy to reply.

    1. sorry slipped through the cracks when updating the whole list. They are now showing in the list correctly. Thanks for letting me know!

  1. Must not have built out Yuri. She is a beast. Her a1 awakening give 10% chance to slow. Considering her basic attack hits twice and Ult hits like 50 times plus Aoe damage every 4 shots. Meta in anti-air and great in Single target arena and Aoe arena. She and Kigiri along with Diao have me wrecking teams way above me in arena.

  2. You severely underrate Magda. She hits like a truck and buffs as well. She is routinely my second best damage dealer in guild boss, but her buffing of the people adjacent to her is what really makes your guild boss damage rise. She does magic damage and knockback so she is very versatile. My guess is you only looked at her skills and didn’t actually try her.

  3. 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.
