PvE Hero Tier List
This tier list ranks heroes by their overall value in PvE content, including campaign stages, monsters, bosses, and events. It emphasizes damage, survivability, sustain, utility, flexibility, and team synergy.
Every rating assumes the hero has appropriate stars, skills, gear, and team support. Use the rankings as an investment guide—not as a rule that overrides your actual roster.
Core S-Tier
Exceptional general-purpose heroes that can anchor complete PvE teams.
Additional S-Tier Options
Powerful flex picks and core-rotation heroes for specialized formations.
Situational S-Tier
Heroes that reach S-tier value when their team and encounter support their specialty.
Team-Building Strategy
Choose Your Carry
Start with one highly developed primary DPS such as Marlena, Zoya, or Cynthia.
Anchor the Frontline
Use Arthur or another durable Tank to keep your damage dealers active.
Add Sustain
Harper, Bell, or Nicole can provide healing, protection, and offensive buffs.
Finish for the Encounter
Add boss damage, AoE, control, or amplification according to the enemy.
Important Tier Notes
- Ratings cover overall PvE performance, not one specific encounter.
- Stars, skills, gear, Raven bonuses, and positioning affect results.
- A well-developed lower-tier hero may outperform an unfinished S-tier hero.
- Faction synergy matters, but should not force weak heroes into your team.
- Future balance changes may alter these rankings.
Build the Team, Not Just the Tier List
A tier list identifies strong investments; it does not replace formation planning. Use the full guide to balance damage, survival, sustain, and encounter-specific utility.
