With an incredible number of unique heroes in AFK Arena, it’s no easy task to build a team of just five heroes.
Because of this, we’ve created this tier list to give you guidance when choosing what heroes to use on your team and invest your resources into.
When creating your main team later on in the game, you should, however, also keep other factors in mind than just the individual strength of each hero.

Some of the very best heroes overall in the end game in AFK Arena include awakened Athalia and awakened Belinda, Ivan, and Liberta. If you obtain any of these heroes, you can easily use them for the long term.
Note that these are just some of the top-tier heroes for the late and end game. There are several others that are just as good as these and some that are better in specific game modes.

AFK Arena Tier List
In the following tier list, we rank every single hero in AFK Arena based on their performance in the four main areas of the game in the late/end game.
In the following tier list, all ascended heroes are ranked in tiers from F to S+, which represents how strong the hero is currently in terms of power, utility, or support.
While each hero is assigned only one overall rank, which takes into account their strength as a whole in formations late-game, some heroes do perform well in one certain aspect because of a special ability, etc., but not in others, giving them a lower overall rank.

The current tier list is based on the rankings by Furry Hippy Gaming and input from the AFK Arena community.
Even though a tier list like this one is excellent guidance when creating a team, you should keep other factors in mind as well when creating your end-game team.
Learn more about how to optimally build your team in our AFK Arena team building guide.
Legendary heroes are not ranked in the tier list above, as they cannot reach higher than level 160, making them useless late-game. Some legendary heroes, including Vedan, Saveas, and Arden, can be great for progressing early game up to level 160.
But beyond that, they aren’t of much use and should be sacrificed to power up another ascended hero.
Here is a quick rundown of what each tier represents.
S Tier – Heroes in the S tier are the best in the game. These heroes perform exceptionally well and should be used if you pull any.
A Tier – Heroes in the A tier perform well above the average hero. These heroes are very strong and will help you significantly throughout your journey.
B Tier – Heroes in the B tier perform as you’d expect. They aren’t particularly strong but aren’t weak by any means either. B-tier heroes can be a great addition to your team if you need a specific set of abilities, etc.
C Tier – Heroes in the C tier perform below average with little potential for late game. As you want to replace these heroes sooner rather than later, you shouldn’t upgrade them too much.
D Tier – Heroes in the D tier are the weakest and least useful in the game. We don’t recommend spending resources on these heroes as you want to replace them as soon as you get something better.
A + or – means the hero is better or worse than their assigned tier. Thus, an S+ hero is even better than an S-tier hero.
That’s our take on a tier list of the best heroes in AFK Arena, as well as the best attacker, tank, support, and carry heroes in the game.

where is the early/mid game list, all i see is heroes for late game
Miskha is very good why she rank B
Are Scarlet(highest dps) and ASolis only A vs Bosses? Nonsense… Have you played with them together before?? Lucretia is way better than A.
I have an observation and a question The only assassins on the list are ranked F-. What heroes would take over the ‘assassin’ duties? Or would that be unnecessary?
