Idle Heroes Tier List [Aug. 2021]

Idle Heroes is an extremely complex game, that much is certain.

It’s packed with several gameplay elements, lore, factions, units, and loot variety, which can be quite overwhelming for beginners.

To simplify things, Idle Heroes revolves around its cast of characters that you build around and battle in the different challenges of the game.

It’s daunting at first glance, but that’s what this Idle Heroes tier list is for. It will serve as a guide to the best heroes the game has to offer.

Since the game relies on party composition as its main strategic requirement, you will have to mix and match different heroes according to their roles and added status bonuses to achieve the best results.

S-Tier

These are the best heroes in the game, so you’ll want to keep them around as soon as you get them. They are great for hurdling over PvE content, which is the game’s main goal anyway. You’ll certainly enjoy a competitive advantage if you have these heroes on your team.

Heart Watcher	Support	Enemy Attack Reduction Can triple your damage output (Max)
Garuda	Attacker
Skerei	Attacker	Enemy Attack Reduction

These are good heroes that need more attention to fit in your team. Once you’ve done all the preparations, you’ll find that these are decent heroes with a lot of upsides to them.

C-Tier

These are average heroes that you should invest in only if you don’t have any of the aforementioned heroes. They don’t excel in anything, which makes them easy to overshadow.

Hero	Role	Bonus Status Effect
Ormus	Support	Can heal allies with low HP. Useful in a pinch, but chances are low so it’s not reliable.

Mihm	Attacker	Enemy Armor Reduction Enemy Attack Reduction

Baade	Attacker
Jahra	Attacker	Poison Enemy Attack Reduction

D-Tier

These heroes have below-average stats and bonuses, which makes them useless by mid-game.

Hero	Role	Bonus Status Effects
Elyvia	Support	Can heal allies Provides attack boosts to allies and attack reduction to enemies
Vesa	Support / Attacker	Has continuous healing. The healing isn’t that impressive.
Starlight	Attacker
Rosa	Support	Grants low attack and a defense boost to party

F-Tier

You should ideally avoid raising these heroes unless you have a special need or preference for them.

Hero	Role	Bonus Status Effects
Corpsedemon	Attacker
Kamath	Attacker	Enemy Armor Reduction
Oberon	Attacker

Note: You’ll notice that not all of the game’s 200+ heroes are mentioned in this list. The heroes here are the “elites” of the game and are considered the most viable for battle. Other heroes simply do not have any use in the game’s campaign, which is why they weren’t included here.
