The current tier list is based on the tier lists and information from Hero Wars YouTubers, Hero Wars Secrets & AsaQr, as well as the Hero Wars Subreddit.

This tier list ranks each hero from Hero Wars in either S, A, B, C, or D tier.

When choosing which heroes to bring onto your team, you should also keep other factors in mind than just a hero’s tier – learn more about this in our team building guide.

Here is a short rundown of what each tier represents.

S tier – Heroes in the S-tier are the best in the game. All these heroes will do well on any team, and are sure to help you progress through the game fast. Putting any S-tier hero on your team and spending resources on them is an excellent idea.

A tier – Heroes in the A-tier perform exceptionally well in battle. You can, with great certainty, use heroes from this tier on your team for a long time without issues. Some combinations of heroes in this tier might even outperform some S-tier heroes.

B tier – Heroes in the B-tier perform as you’d expect from an average hero. They are not exceptionally strong but are not weak, either. B-tier heroes are fine to use just for a while, but you should aim to replace them at some point.

C tier – Heroes in the C-tier are not very powerful, but can be used at the beginning of the game. We do, however, not recommend you spend significant resources on C-tier heroes as you want to replace them soon.

D tier – Heroes in the D-tier are way below average in terms of power and potential. You should aim to replace these heroes as soon as possible, and definitely shouldn’t spend significant resources on these heroes.

Heroes with a + next to their rank are even stronger or more useful than their assigned rank.

*Krista and Lars are only their assigned rank when paired together.


Best tank heroes

Tank heroes are a great addition to any team as they bring lots of defenses, shielding your damage dealers and supports from being taken out early in a battle.

Many tank heroes have crowd control or support skills, as well.

Here are some of the very best tank heroes in Hero Wars.


Astaroth

Hero Wars Astaroth hero

If your team struggles with enemy damage, Astaroth is one of the best additions you can make to your team.

Astaroth only has one skill that deals damage, but he has several incredible tanky abilities.

Firstly, his shield, Flame Veil, shields the entire team from significant physical damage.

Furthermore, his passive skill, Demon’s Allegiance, makes Astaroth tank a considerable percentage of the damage the hero with the least health left takes and even at a reduced rate.

Lastly, Astaroth Last Word skills allow him to resurrect a fallen ally once per match, including himself, which is an incredible utility to have in battle.


Cleaver

Hero Wars Cleaver hero

Tankiness, control, and damage is what Cleaver brings to your team.

Cleaver has two control abilities, which both deal damage.

The first is Rusty Hook, which pulls and enemy to him, shielding the rest of your team from that hero.

His other control skill is Mutilation, which damages and stuns an entire area in front of him.

Besides his useful skills, Cleaver’s stats are high, especially his defenses, making him an incredible tank.


Best attacker heroes

Teams without any attacker heroes can find themselves in a struggle at times, as they simply don’t have enough damage output.

Attacker heroes generally have lower defenses and no supportive abilities but do have one thing, damage.

Here are some of the very best attacker heroes in Hero Wars.


Krista

Hero Wars Krista hero

Krista is a powerful mage with lots of spells that deal significant damage.

Because of her stats and her skills, she dishes out a lot of damage through a battle, making her a fantastic addition to your team if you need more damage.

Krista is best paired with Lars, as he can activate the marks Krista leaves on enemies with some skills.


Jhu

Hero Wars Jhu hero

Another great attacker hero in Hero Wars is Jhu, a marksman with skills that boost his ranged attack.

His skill, You will not stop me, significantly increases his attack speed and makes him invulnerable while active.

His other skills revolve around the same playstyle, as he has a skill that makes him deal true damage, one that increases his attack power and makes him focus ranged enemies, and lastly, a skill that heals him.

Besides that, Jhu has great attack stats, but like many attacker heroes, he lacks a bit on the defense side.


Best support heroes

Supportive heroes are often underrated by players, as they generally don’t have much damage output and are very squishy.

However, some support heroes can make a major difference on a team because of their useful support skills.

Therefore, you should consider adding support heroes to your team if you find yourself stuck or want to optimize your team.

Here are some of the very best support heroes in the game.


Jorgen

Hero Wars Jorgen hero

In terms of pure support and utility, Jorgen is definitely a hero to consider if you are looking for just that on your team.

Besides being able to summon a Skull that renders affected enemies unable to regain energy for a while, he also has the ability to steal energy from the enemy and put a shield on an ally, which also makes that hero regain energy twice as fast.

Lastly, Jorgen can put a powerful curse on an enemy backline hero, making you able to take down the squishy targets on the enemy team fast.


Martha

Hero Wars Martha hero

If you’re not looking for a purely supportive hero, then Martha is an excellent choice for your team.

She combines both being tanky and being a support.

Martha’s first skill, Foremother’s Oath, increases her allies’ speed by 240%, but her strength lies in her healing totem, which can only be destroyed by AoE attacks.

Furthermore, Martha can heal herself, making her even harder to take down, considering her tanky stats.


That’s our take on a tier list of the best heroes in Hero Wars, as well as the best heroes in specific categories.

  1. sara

    My current team is Thea, Dante, Yasmine, Galahad and Astaroth. Is this a good team or not ?
    Should I change some heros ? suggestion please

  2. Sebas

    I stopped playing this game a month ago and this list have changed a lot, almost everyone is S now and the F++ Artemis is S++? REALLY? Can someone explain me it?

  3. Team for Team

    Definitely, Dante must be in higher position… Also, very important is synergy among the using heroes.
    I am lvl130 with over 1million power. It is important to level 6 – 7 heroes at first and then gradually increase them.
    Very good team is: Aurora (Cain) / Jasmine (Albus) / Andvari (Fenris) / Nebula (or Celeste) / Iris (Biscuit) and Axel as team-pet.
    Changing heroes >> Celeste (Axel), Jorgen, Dante, Heidi.
    Very good & high synergy are > Andvari, Jorgen and Biscuit as team-pet – combined with a tank, a warrior & a healer.
    HAVE FUN!!!!

  4. Sebas

    Here some fixs:
    1) Julius, Fafnir and Mushy are PC + Mobile now.
    2) Mushy is Tank in PC, Idk if she’s Mage in Mobile.

  5. I want to win

    Anyone have any good teams here? I really want to know like what team can counter this Dante, Jet, Sebastian, Nebula, and Iris. And I think that mushy and shroom, Marcus, Thea, Martha, and Aidan is a pretty good team paired with a max Oliver

    1. Hi

      Use karkh astaroth jet nebula and Sebastian to counter that team
      Or use replace that iris on that team with a arachne

    2. Hi

      Besides I would suggest that you use maya instead of Aidan because the more healing you do the more powerful is mushy and shroom

    3. darkie

      nah aidan gonna be faulty that way

  6. Gaufre

    I really like Morrigan. Any good team to play with her?! (PVE)

  7. Shadowcaster

    hero update! i now am using astaroth+galahad+dante+celeste+martha
    all level 77 violet plus 2 and can easly cut through level 100 orange plus 1 5 stars.

    1. noodle

      hi! I am new, and im using astaroth, thea, ginger, corvus and also qing mao. should I replace them?

  8. Jose Grande

    why is Kayla S tier? She doesn’t even have any skins.

  9. Shadowcaster

    I think that Orion and Mojo have good synergy when they are purple.

  10. Shadowcaster

    Current team astaroth galahad dante martha and swapping between astrid-and-lucas yasmine jorgen celeste. all level 69 purple +1. im in server 79 guild revolution if anyone wants to join.

    1. Chicken

      How is Fafnir s tier, he is literally the worst hero in my opinion

  11. Liam

    It’s hard to get satori soul stones! What do you recommend! I’m using Aroura, Astaroth, Nebula, (satori maybe) and Ishmael! Good? Also I play ona browser version! Can I still get xe’sha?

    1. Ashendis

      If you’re f2p, getting satori is difficult, therefore difficult to invest. Might be better off getting focusing on someone else in the meantime.

      You don’t need two tanks, especially two tanks that don’t do damage. Replace Astaroth or Aurora with a healer since you don’t seem to have one (no, Nebula does not count). Get one more damage person to hold Satori’s place if you’re set on having him (maybe a marksman?).

      Browser players cannot get Xe’Sha.

  12. DaGodz

    dante is good. he should be higher in rank.

  13. DaGodz

    I think that a good team is dante +astaroth+martha+jorgen+aidan

    1. Ashendis

      I’d replace Aiden with someone else, especially given you already have Martha. Nebula can further/better buff Dante, while Isaac or Sebastian are better damage support options.

  14. Daisy

    My team is Astaroth, Ziri, Keira, Lia, and Yasmine, is this a good team or should I replace my heroes? 🙁

    1. Shadowcaster

      I think to keep Lian, Astaroth and Yasmine, maybe Ziri, and throw away Keira she is bad.

    2. darkie

      it an average team

  15. Shadowcaster

    my team is Galahad-Thea-Astrid and Lucas-Astaroth-Artemis level 47 purple please tell me if I have to get better heroes.

    1. ace

      thea astrid artemis are not good in upper levels, having 2 tanks is not the best for a team and astaroth is better than galahad

      1. DaGodz

        Astrid and Lukas are still good and one of my best damage dealers.

    2. celestelova

      quit that whole team

    3. SuperMaster

      keep asthroth get dante jhu satori and celeste

      1. Shadowcaster

        Thanks! I got Dante, Celeste and trying for Jhu.

  16. doltet

    my team is galahad-anastroth(sorry if i spelled it wrong)-astrid and lucas-artemis-thea lvl 47 purple pls tell me if i have to get better heros.

  17. Spurce

    I have Krista+Lars (Twins), Astaroth, Galahad, and Martha
    any suggestions?

  18. Kiku

    The tier list is missing Kayla.

  19. God slayer

    maybe put another dps like jasmine or karkh, continue investigating on galahad a little but do not focus on him.
    I have my main team : Aurora-jasmine-Sebastian-celeste-jet and second team is: Astaroth-Galahad-Karkh-orion-helios-Martha. I’m level 130 and those two makes me highly ranked in the arena(1-10)
    Maya is good until level 80 , but she can still be good in the outland.
    Also, you can go very fast with jasmine in the campaign, because level 77 you should be chapter 11 or 12.

  20. SAL

    I typically use Galahad, Orion, Dante, Yasmine, & Keira. Can someone tell me what they recommend I do to improve this? thx! Currently all lvl 130, Orange +2.

  21. DT

    Arachne’s main stat is agility, not intelligence. You might wanna review this

    1. DT

      Forgot to specify, on web. This might be based on mobile.

  22. Simba

    My team is Celeste, Maya, Keira Galahad and Astaroth is this good for a team we are chapter 10 purple rank characters level 77 do I need better heroes

    1. gamergirlsma

      Celeste and Astaroth: Yes.

      Keira: Maybe (depends if there are many players with Keira counters on your server – otherwise she’s a yes.)

      Maya and Galahad: No. Use them as backup. I like having someone who debuffs when I’m up against Jasmine (Iris, Sebastian, Dante or Galahad for debuffers). Don’t invest more in either Maya or Galahad.

  23. JTM

    too much brain usage! do other stuff

  24. GobLin

    update this lilith was revamped

    1. GobLin

      I wanna see where lilith is now on the list and whether shes worth investing into

  25. Deadly One

    I don’t think Astaroth worth S+ rank.

    1. gamergirlsma

      I’m always able to take him down easily. I work with Aurora instead. And some with Rufus – his magic resist can be useful.

  26. Zoid

    Opinion. Not gospel.
    I enjoy examining it as much as anyone, which is why I am here. But in the end, I don’t think “best” is all that defined; if it is, it’s not much of a game. Play what you enjoy. Personally, I have lots of fun with Mojo and have found him to be the solution on occasion for the team that I couldn’t otherwise beat.

  27. Kayla

    I personally use a beautiful team of Thea, Artemis, Chabba, and Corvus, and it works amazing. Adding K’rakh though, thank you!

  28. Chris Allen

    Jhu kills hydras. I run Martha-Heidi or Ginger-Jhu-Qing Mao-Yasmine against the Elder Hydra and easily rack up 12+ million damage against any one head, with Jhu contributing at least three quarters of that.

  29. John astaroth

    You ranked Qing-mao higher than Ishmael, but he is stronger than her in a 1:1 battle.
    I suggest you check your ranking

  30. I

    i don’t agree with a few of the categorizations. First, heidi is not a good hero, and should be placed in either c or d tier. Second, Maya is also not a good hero, i don’t know why did you put her in the a tier. She should be in B or C tier. She deal damage, yes, but if you level her up to the top, she is not very good. Third, Corvus is an extremely good tank, with very high health. The only problem is that he doesn’t has the required armor, but he can quickly kill DPS heroes like kiera or yasmine or helios. Fourth, ziri is a very good tank with very high health like corvus, and have even more armor, and should be placed in either A tier or A+. Then jet is a very good hero, and a jet-sebestian-kiera team can literally destroy the enemy team within seconds, if their is no Helios. Also jet works very good with a crit-hit hero. Lastly, dante is a good damage dealer with a very high dogde(second after heidi, in fact). He should be placed in A or B tier.

    1. Nokkhao

      Heidi is ranked as grade A for her dodge power, and only for dodge team IMO

    2. Juggler

      Heidi is extremely good if you have two healers in the team. My guild has a guy set up two teams to deal with physial or mage teams that can guarantee him the #1 position in Arena. His teams are:

      1. Aurora + Markus + Celeste + Sebastian + Heidi
      2. Aurora + Markus + Celeste + Sebastian + Orian

      His pet patron is either Axel or Cain.

      By switching only Heidi and Orian in those two teams, he can easily defeat almost any Physical / Mage team.

      Heidi’s damage output is just crazy with the support of two healers.

    3. Mira

      The only heroes in the S tier for PC version are Celeste, Corvus, Heidi, Lian and Arachne.

    4. JTM

      U GOT TO FIND OTHER THINGS TO DO , I . BREAK OUT OF YOUR HERO WARS BUBBLE !

  31. KFL20210521

    I don’t see Tristan. Also, I don’t recognize Isaac. Also, I think Ziri should be at least A Tier. She’s my strongest hero right now. Morrigan should be at least Tier B, she’s pretty strong when placed in the right team.

    1. Greatness

      Tristian is on Mobile, not Web. And my Ziri is at Violet Rank-she’s one of 3 tanks I have-Galahad and Asaroth are the other two-she does little to no damage, but has the highest health of any of my tanks, which is why I use her. B rank is fine for her.

  32. Jake

    Curious why you think Daredevil is so low… she can take out a tank with one special ability. She’s my most powerful marksman

    1. Nokkhao

      In the late game, (lvl 100+) Daredevil is not that powerful.

  33. elijah abbott

    i think an astaroth team is great im level 75!! ???

  34. herowarsboss

    im on 72 and galahad does 15819 damage and chabba does 11859 damage

  35. ihawk110

    I suggest adding Tristan to the ranking. K thanks

    1. Cletis007

      I was looking for Tristan and couldn’t find info on any threads for him..

  36. Ryan

    Noticed you left out Tristan. Is he newer than when you posted this?

  37. 1232324

    Í’m level 42 and for me Phobos is really good.

  38. 20070126

    Nah bruh i think ginger is great for low lev shes my top person her ability is crazy good idk for like really high people but im like around 37 and she great

    1. Trae

      I just got into this game as of the last month or two and Ginger is definitely good at the level you mentioned but she starts to get a good amount of separation (For the worse) when you start unlocking the better characters. Having read this and other articles I have decided to take the wrong approach and will be rearranging what I spend resources on!

  39. matt

    Thanks for your insightful article. Question: Is this list in an order within each lettered tier, or is each hero within the grade group in no specific order?

    1. KillaCam

      Order looks alphabetic within each tier.
