Building a powerful team is essential for success in Heroes of Crown: Legends, whether you're tackling the campaign, competing in PvP, or managing idle farming. This 3D idle RPG emphasizes team synergy and strategic planning, with heroes of various elements and factions forming your core combat force. As the hero roster expands, choosing which characters to invest in becomes increasingly important. This tier list evaluates the best-performing heroes in the current patch, ranking them by overall effectiveness across most game modes.
Heroes are divided into several roles, including tanks, damage dealers (both single-target and AoE), support, and crowd control specialists. Each role serves a unique strategic purpose. With the game's PvE and PvP meta constantly evolving, this guide highlights heroes that offer reliable value, particularly for free-to-play players building a roster for long-term success. New players can refer to our Heroes of Crown: Legends Beginner’s Guide (interlink the Beginner’s Guide here) to master the basics.
| Tier | Hero Names | Role |
| S | Luna, Abaddon, Isha | AoE DPS, Tank, Healer |
| A | Vivian, Thor, Freya | Support, DPS, Tank |
| B | Dracula, Selena, Behemoth | DPS, Control, Tank |
| C | Gretel, Osric, Morla | DPS, Tank, Healer |
S-Tier heroes are the most influential units in the game, prized for their versatility and exceptional power. These heroes often become irreplaceable in high-level team compositions, thanks to their potent skills, passive effects, and ultimate abilities that can turn the tide of battle.
A premier AoE damage dealer from the Light faction. Her ultimate ability inflicts massive damage on all enemies and performs exceptionally well in both campaign and PvP scenarios.
A formidable Dark tank with lifesteal and crowd control capabilities. His passive abilities make him exceptionally durable, protecting your backline heroes from harm.

When assembling your team, aim for a balanced formation. A typical setup includes one tank, two damage dealers, and two support or control heroes, which works well for most content. Overloading on damage dealers without adequate sustain can hinder your progress, especially during idle stages and longer campaign levels.
This tier list offers a broad perspective on hero performance across different modes. Some heroes excel in PvP but underperform in PvE, or vice versa. Hero synergy is also crucial for unlocking their full potential—for example, pairing Luna with energy-generating supports like Vivian allows her to use her ultimate more frequently, dramatically increasing her damage.
Additionally, consider hero availability and upgrade potential. A lower-tier hero that is easier to ascend may be more effective than a high-tier hero stuck at a low star level. Focus on heroes that align with your summoning results and resource allocation.
