Heroes are ranked by their overall value across all game modes, including PvE campaign, PvP rallies, resource gathering and furnace buffs. This tier list is updated weekly to reflect the latest balance patches and community meta.
Jonas is widely considered the best overall combat hero for both PvE and PvP, while Ursula is the top choice for resource gathering and base development. For free-to-play players, Luna is an excellent support hero that provides permanent furnace XP bonuses.
Prioritize one main combat hero and one gathering hero first. For most players, Jonas + Ursula is the strongest combination that covers both combat and progression. Only invest in one hero at a time to maximize your power gain.
The meta shifts slightly with each major update and new hero release. We update this tier list every week to reflect balance changes, new hero releases and the latest community consensus.
Early on, yes. Epic heroes are much easier to ascend and can carry you through the first few weeks of gameplay. Once you unlock legendary heroes, you should gradually replace them and save your upgrade materials for S and A tier options.
