​

 Best Mage Class Heroes  

Shemira

Shemira's abilities involve a cycle of sacrificing her health to inflict damage and then restoring it by summoning ghosts. Despite her impressive damage and self-healing capabilities, she lacks supportive skills. Nevertheless, she excels across all game modes, including AFK Stages, the Dream Realm, and PVP.

 

Tasi

As a durable Mage, Tasi specializes in battlefield control. To perform optimally in PVP and AFK Stages, she requires a specific team built around her abilities and isn't a hero that can be easily placed into any lineup. However, she is not an effective choice for fighting bosses.

 

  Cyran

Cyran is an S Rank Mage whose abilities are rich in crowd control, designed for engaging clustered foes and disrupting opponents in PVP. Unfortunately, his unique anti-artifact skill is only effective in PVP, which makes him a situational alternative to Eironn for AFK stages and a poor performer in the Dream Realm.

 

Arden

Arden is a S-tier mage who belongs to the Wilder Faction. He shines the most in PvP and AFK stages and excels in crowd control abilities. You can easily get him and other heroes in the game by going an AFK Journey top up. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.

 

Best Rogue Class Heroes  

Faramor

As an SS-Rank Rogue from the Wilder faction, Faramor's primary role is to inflict significant true damage and empower his allies to do the same. Furthermore, he possesses the capability to nullify enemy healing and resurrection abilities.

 

Saida

Said is also a SS-tier rogue who belongs to the Hypogean Faction. She excels in life steal sustain abilities, self resurrection and stall-based game. She is one of the heroes that can single handedly carry the whole team to victory.

 

Ravion

Ravion's abilities make him a great fit for PVP teams that focus on dealing high damage quickly to defeat enemies before they can react. Since his buffs and support skills also benefit his allies, he is an excellent choice for PVE boss fights where increasing attack, speed, energy, and providing shields are vital for victory.

 

Best Tank Class Heroes  

Daimon

Daimon acts as a tanky Support but has some potential to be used as a Sub-DPS. He's a great AFK Stages pusher - most likely the most impactful character we've had in some time there - and also works well in Dream Realm and PVP.

 

Ulmus

Ulmus is a SS-tier tank from the Wilder Faction. Unlike other tanks he synergizes with CC ability heroes and acts more as a support.

 

Thador

Thador is a S-tier tank from the Wilder Faction. He provides every utility you want – Shield, healing, damage, buffs, debuffs, etc., making him a very versatile and strong pick.

 

Best Warrior Class Heroes  

Baelran

Baelran is a S-tier Warrior from the Celestial Faction who has high HP bar, high damage and Hyper-carry potential.

 

 

Harak

Harak is an A-tier Warrior from the Hypogean Faction. He is a very strong hero pick if you manage to get a kill or an assist because after that Harak becomes a menace and will likely wipe the whole team out.

 

Perseus

Perseus is a Warrior who specializes in dealing heavy AoE damage and Crowd Control to the enemy frontline while offering a wide range of temporary buffs that increase his own and his nearby allies' tankiness.

 

Best Marksman Class Heroes  

Zanie

Zanie is a versatile hero who combines turret damage with frontline utility. Even though she might not be the number one choice in all game modes, she is always a dependable hero worth considering. 

 

Bonnie

Bonnie is a SS-tier Marksman from the Graveborn Faction. Although she is a marksman, she also serves as a debuffer and DPS hybrid, stealing the meta throne with her haste manipulation.

 

Bryon

Bryon is a Magic Marksman who can summon a Falcon and focuses on debuffing enemies while killing them quickly. Once you unlock his EX weapon he also gains the ability to revive once per battle. Deals decent damage but is mostly just used as an Arena counter to Lily May in Wilder teams.

 

Best Support Class Heroes  

Elijah and Lailah

Elijah and Lailah are twin Support type heroes from the Celestial Faction. They are the literal best when it comes to providing buffs like Haste, Energy regen and Ultimate energy refund, making them the meta Support pick.

 

Koko

Koko is a SS-tier Support from the Mauler Faction. She reduces the damage taken by your allies, provides various buffs to the team and her ultimate makes the whole team tankier.

 

Velara

Velara is an S-Rank Wilder Support whose main gimmick is using her 4 Magic Circles on each corner of the battlefield to give shields to allies and either heal them or debuff enemies instead. After charging the Circles, she gets to steal enemy stats for the team, acting as a powerful buffer.
