S-Tier Characters

Lily May, a must-have Wilder, delivers significant damage and utility. She counters Eironn teams in PvP and excels in AFK stages and Dream Realm.

Thoran remains the top F2P tank, even alongside Phraesto (a luxury unit). Reinier is the priority support for both PvE and PvP (Dream Realm and Arena).

Koko and Smokey & Meerky are essential supports for most game modes. Odie is crucial for Dream Realm and all PvE.

Eironn, with Damien and Arden, forms a dominant Arena team.

Tasi (added November 2024) is a versatile Wilder with strong crowd control, excelling in most modes except potentially Dream Realm (though this might change).

Harak (Hypogean/Celestial) is a powerful Warrior whose strength increases with each enemy kill, offering Life Drain.

A-Tier Characters

Lyca and Vala effectively utilize Haste, a critical stat boosting attack frequency and speed. Lyca provides party-wide Haste, while Vala increases her own with each marked enemy kill. Lyca's PvP performance can be inconsistent.

Antandra is a solid alternative tank to Thoran, offering taunts, shields, and crowd control.

Viperian complements a Graveborn core with energy drain and AoE attacks, excelling outside of Dream Realm.

Alsa (added May 2024) is a strong DPS mage, particularly effective with Eironn in PvP, offering a more accessible alternative to Carolina.

Phraesto (added June 2024) is a durable tank, but lacks damage output. Prioritize Reinier first.

Ludovic (added August 2024) is a powerful Graveborn healer, synergizing well with Talene and excelling in PvP.

Cecia, while a good Marksman, has decreased in value due to Lily May and Dream Realm meta shifts.

Sonja (added December 2024) significantly improves the Lightborne faction, offering respectable damage and utility across all game modes.

B-Tier Characters

B-Tier characters are suitable for filling roles but warrant less investment. Replace them with A or S-Tier heroes when possible.

Valen and Brutus are strong early-game DPS choices. Granny Dahnie is a decent alternative tank to Thoran and Antandra.

Arden and Damien are PvP meta mainstays, less effective in other PvE modes.

Florabelle (added April 2024) is a secondary DPS supporting Cecia, but not essential.

Soren (added May 2024) is decent in PvP but suboptimal elsewhere.

Korin's Dream Realm effectiveness has decreased, making Odie the preferred choice.

C-Tier Characters

C-Tier characters are useful early-game but quickly become outclassed. Focus on summoning better replacements.

Parisa, while having a powerful AoE attack, is best replaced quickly.

This tier list is subject to change with future hero additions and game updates.
