An Epic 7 tier list is most useful when it answers a resource question: which hero should get your next promotion, awakening, skill upgrade, or best gear? The safest answer is rarely “the highest-ranked unit.” For many accounts, the first priority is a reliable PvE core: a Wyvern team using Muwi and Furious with Alexa or Sigret as the main damage option, plus a frontline that can survive the hunt. Adventurer Ras, Angelic Montmorancy and Tamarinne add broad support, while Specter Tenebria and Iseria offer strong long-term value when their roles fit. PvP names such as Ran and Lua belong later unless your gear and draft plan support them. This Epic 7 tier list separates account-wide value from mode-specific strength, so you can spend resources on the problem your roster actually has.
The tiers below measure investment value rather than raw combat power. A hero may be extremely strong in one mode and a poor choice for another, so the right question is not simply whether a unit is “S tier.” Ask whether that hero solves a problem your account currently has and whether you can supply the gear and teammates needed to use the kit properly.
Ownership also matters. A high-ranked hero you do not have should not make you dismantle a team that already clears its target content. Use the list to evaluate heroes in your roster, new summons and selection choices, not to chase an abstract ranking.
This table is a quick planning tool. Within each row, choose the hero that fills your current gap instead of building every name listed.
| Investment tier | Hero examples | Best fit | Why they deserve resources | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S: account anchors | Adventurer Ras, Angelic Montmorancy, Tamarinne, Specter Tenebria | General PvE, boss fights, survival and long-term damage | They cover frontline utility, cleansing, support or durable damage and can remain useful as your roster grows. | Some need a Specialty Change, strong gear or access to long-duration content before their value is fully visible. |
| S: hunt progression | Muwi, Furious, Alexa, Sigret | Wyvern and early gear farming | They provide practical damage and debuff tools, with several lower-cost options for building a functional team. | They are options for one hunt plan, not four heroes that every account must build immediately. |
| A: PvE utility and boss damage | Iseria, Commander Lorina, Cermia, Roana | Boss stages, long fights and counter-heavy encounters | Each solves a recognisable problem: utility, single-target damage or a response to repeated extra attacks. | Their value is more dependent on the enemy mechanics and the rest of your team. |
| A: early account clear speed | Free Spirit Tieria | Story progression and early farming | She can make early stages easier to clear and helps an account reach its first stable teams faster. | Once another farmer covers the same job, further investment may have a lower return. |
| A: PvP openers | Ran, Lua, Conqueror Lilias, Peira | Fast Arena, RTA and Guild War strategies | They can establish the first turn and create an opening for the rest of a carefully prepared team. | Without suitable speed gear and follow-up damage, an opener may contribute very little. |
| A: PvP anchors | Belian, Mediator Kawerik, Last Rider Krau, Landy | Standard, bruiser and anti-control teams | They reward coherent drafting and can help an account handle pressure that a pure speed team cannot. | They need durable equipment and allies that cover their weaknesses. |
| B: matchup specialists | Zahhak, Cidd, Elena and other focused picks | Specific drafts and enemy compositions | They can provide targeted damage, speed pressure or defensive answers when the matchup calls for them. | They are less useful as a first general investment than a hero that improves several parts of your account. |
PvP placements change more quickly than PvE priorities because balance changes, new releases and popular strategies alter the value of specific kits. Treat the PvP rows as role groups rather than a permanent seasonal leaderboard.
Gear improves almost every part of an account, which makes a stable hunt team one of the most valuable early goals. Muwi is often an efficient damage and debuff option for Wyvern teams. Furious brings reliable defense-break and critical-hit support, while Alexa provides accessible single-target damage and debuff pressure. Sigret remains a strong damage alternative, particularly when she is already the hero your available gear and team support.
Those heroes are choices, not a four-hero shopping list. Select the damage and debuff combination that fits your roster, add a frontline that can survive the hunt, and test the run before spending deeper skill resources. If your current team already clears reliably, replacing it solely because another Epic 7 tier list ranks a different unit higher is usually a poor use of materials.
Adventurer Ras is one of the most useful general PvE frontline projects after his Specialty Change. He offers team utility while protecting allies, so he can contribute to more than one type of stage. He is a better early investment than a second damage dealer when your account lacks a dependable frontliner.
Angelic Montmorancy is a strong answer to stages filled with debuffs and control effects once her Specialty Change is complete. She brings healing and cleansing, which can be more valuable than extra damage when a team keeps losing turns. Angelica can also fill a frontline or healing role if she is already built, so there is no reason to replace a functioning unit just because another guide lists a different healer.
Free Spirit Tieria is useful for early story clearing and farming. Her main value is speed of progression rather than being a permanent answer to every late-game stage. Build her far enough to solve the early clear-speed problem, then reassess before spending resources that could complete a hunt or support unit.
Tamarinne is a high-value PvE support hero for accounts that need healing, team support and stronger performance in longer battles. She is not a replacement for a hunt team, so a new account should not delay gear farming while waiting for her. Once your basic progression is stable, however, she can improve many boss-oriented teams.
Iseria brings defense-break utility and cooldown manipulation, giving her strong synergy with heroes that depend on their major skills. Her partnership with Tamarinne is especially well known, but she does not need to be used only with that hero. Build Iseria when your account needs utility and setup rather than another straightforward damage dealer.
Specter Tenebria is a valuable long-term project if you own her. She offers damage that can remain safe in situations where direct targeting is dangerous, and she can be relevant in both PvE and PvP. Her ranking should not override basic progression, though; she still needs suitable equipment and a team that allows her to perform.
For single-target PvE damage, choose between projects such as Commander Lorina and Cermia according to your roster and available gear. Building one effective boss killer is usually more efficient than promoting several units with the same job. Roana is different: she is a specialist whose value rises sharply when enemies rely on counterattacks or other extra attacks. She is not a universal healer, but she can make the right encounter much easier.
A PvP hero’s tier is inseparable from gear quality. A fast opener with weak speed gear may be less useful than a lower-ranked support hero who is properly tuned and already fits your roster. Before investing, decide whether you want to play a fast first-turn strategy, a standard team that responds to the opponent, or a slower bruiser approach.
Ran, Lua, Conqueror Lilias and Peira are examples of high-priority opener projects. They can establish pressure at the start of a battle, but taking the first turn is only the beginning. You also need damage, control or defensive support that can exploit the opening.
Build one opener first rather than spreading resources across several. Pick according to the follow-up heroes you own and the type of matches you want to play. If your account cannot yet provide the necessary speed and supporting gear, these units should wait behind PvE projects that improve the quality of your equipment.
Belian, Mediator Kawerik, Last Rider Krau and Landy fit teams that want to survive an opponent’s first plan and win through durable pressure. Mediator Kawerik is particularly relevant when debuffs and control are common problems, while the other choices depend more heavily on the rest of the draft and the threats you face.
These heroes are not automatic replacements for one another. Study the battles your account actually loses. If control effects are the problem, an anti-debuff answer may be more useful than another damage dealer. If you cannot survive focused attacks, adding a fast opener will not fix the underlying issue.
Zahhak and Cidd can be strong targeted damage or speed-pressure choices, while heroes such as Elena provide value in more specific defensive situations. These are good second or third PvP projects after your account has a reliable core. They should be selected because they answer a known opponent or draft problem, not because a tier list places them above a hero you already use successfully.
No single hero is best for every mode, account stage or team. A Tamarinne may be a better investment for long PvE battles, while Ran may be more valuable to a geared PvP account that needs a fast opener. The strongest choice is the one that solves your current bottleneck.
Build Sigret when she fills a real gap in your hunt team or when your existing team benefits from her damage and debuffs. If your Muwi-based team already clears Wyvern reliably, Sigret is usually a later project rather than an urgent replacement. Avoid investing in both at once unless your account has a clear reason to maintain two separate teams.
Yes. Heroes such as Muwi, Furious, Alexa, Adventurer Ras and Angelic Montmorancy can provide more account value than a rare hero that has no suitable gear or team. Their importance comes from the problems they solve, not from their summon rarity.
Usually not. PvE progression and hunt gear give a new account the equipment needed to make later PvP investments work. Start PvP earlier only if it is your main goal and you already have a clear strategy, suitable gear and teammates for the chosen hero.
They serve different purposes. Tamarinne is the better priority when your PvE teams need healing and stronger support in long fights, while Iseria is more attractive when you already have sustain and need defense-break or cooldown utility. They can also work together, so this is not always an either-or decision.
No. A tier label identifies potential value, not an order that overrides your progression needs. Test the hero, confirm the team role and promote the unit when the additional stats or skills will help clear the content you are currently tackling.
Use this Epic 7 tier list as an upgrade plan rather than a ranking to collect. Build the hunt and core support first, choose one damage or utility project that matches your next PvE goal, and delay gear-dependent PvP heroes until your account can support them. A well-built hero that fixes a current problem will usually return more value than a nominally higher-tier unit waiting on the bench.
