With more than 400 heroes in the game, it is difficult to rank them all, especially because the rankings may differ depending on whether you use them in PvP or PvE. For instance, Fairy Queen Vesa fares much better in PvE play than in PvP. The ultimate ranking may also differ based on how you use certain characters or your personal preference.
Therefore, let us know if you have any suggestions on which heroes deserve to be in our S tiers in your opinion. In the meantime, don’t forget to check out our section dedicated to Idle Heroes.
