Gen 1 to 8 heroes are open from day one on V4. This tier list shows who to build first, which lineups to run in the Arena and Bear Hunt, and which heroes aren't worth your resources.

Unofficial client: not on Google Play or the App Store.

Tier list · V4

Every Gen 1–8 hero, ranked.

On the V4 private server, Gen 1 to 8 heroes are all open from day one, so the ranking is different from the early official game: put your resources straight into the strongest late heroes. This list follows the advice across this site.

T0

Build first

The core five for the Arena and State war. Hero EXP, gear and Frost Stars go here first.

  • Gatot (Gatot)

    Edith

    Infantry Gen 7

    Arena core. Tanky front line that holds while your damage works.

  • Bradley (Bradley)

    Bradley

    Marksman Gen 7

    Arena core. One of the five worth building deep.

Strong second picks

Very strong in their role. Build these once your main five are done.

    Wu Ming

    Infantry Gen 6

    Some of the best damage reduction in the game. A defence core.

    Gwen

    Gordon

    Debuffs the enemy over time. Good in long fights.

T2

For specific jobs

Useful for Bear Hunt, rallies or garrison. No need to build them deep.

  • Alonso (Alonso)

    Alonso

    Marksman Gen 2

    A Bear Hunt favourite. Invest early for trap damage.

  • Mia (Mia)

    Mia

    Lancer Gen 3

    Swingy but strong joiner skill for rallies.

    Norah

    Lancer Gen 5

    Flint

    Reina

    Lancer Gen 4

    Dodge and burst. Fun in the Arena.

  • Philly (Philly)

    Philly

    Lancer Gen 2

    Healing support. Better in a garrison than out on the field.

T3

Early only

Later generations replace them fast on V4. Except Zinman: keep him on construction.

  • Natalia (Natalia)

    Natalia

    Infantry Gen 1

    Tough front line for early city defence.

  • Molly (Molly)

    Molly

    Lancer Gen 1

    Lynn

    Marksman Gen 4

    Steady Marksman for filling your lineup.

  • Zinman (Zinman)

    Zinman

    Marksman Gen 1

    Keep him on construction; his skills save build time.

Best lineups

Arena
  1. Gatot
  2. Sonya
  3. Hendrik
  4. Edith
  5. Bradley

The Arena core five. Gatot and Edith hold the front line, Sonya and Hendrik deal the damage, and Bradley adds Marksman firepower.

Bear Hunt
  1. Jeronimo
  2. Gwen
  3. Alonso
  4. Mia

Lead the rally with Jeronimo: his attack boosts reach the whole rally. Gwen and Alonso are the Bear Hunt Marksmen, and Mia is a strong rally joiner.

City defense
  1. Wu Ming
  2. Ahmose
  3. Philly

Wu Ming has some of the best damage reduction in the game, Ahmose shields the line, and Philly's healing works best in a garrison.

WarReaper's advice for the V4 private server, not official data. Gen 9+ heroes start arriving on day 22 of a State, and this list will be updated then.

Why the V4 tier list is different

On the official game a new hero generation opens every few months, so players build early heroes first. V4 opens Gen 1 to 8 on day one, so your resources go furthest on late heroes: Gatot, Sonya, Hendrik, Edith and Bradley.

Which five heroes should a new player build?

Build five heroes deep instead of spreading upgrades thin: Gatot, Sonya, Hendrik, Edith and Bradley. Spend the 1,000 Gold Keys from the gift codes in Epic Recruitment straight away, and claim Hector free on day 2 of the sign-in week.

When do Gen 9+ heroes arrive?

Gen 9 heroes arrive on day 22 of a State, Gen 10 on day 64, then a new generation about every 42 days. The full schedule is in the beginner guide.
