Hero Tier List
This tier list ranks Top Heroes’ mythic and legendary heroes by their overall value across PvP (KvK, Glory Battlefield, Frostfield) and PvE (season bosses, guild events, damage rankings). It’s compiled from community consensus — your results may vary based on ascension level, team composition, and specific content.
A note on this list: Tier placements reflect hero value in a well-built team with reasonable investment. A highly invested S-tier legendary can outperform an under-invested S-tier mythic. Ascension and skill levels matter.

| S | Forest, Treant, Asgardian | Nature League | Awakening priorities that stay in lineups long-term |
| A | Wilderness Hunter, Swordsmith, Shaman, Astrologer, Secret Agent, Bard | Horde League | Core early-game carries; excellent until replaced by mythics |
