An effective Infinite Magic Raid tier list should answer a practical question: which hero deserves your next promotion, skill upgrade, or gear set for the mode you actually play? The strongest broad investments are usually Katherine, Space, Hezonja, Lucifer, Xia, and Ben Austin, but they solve different problems. Hezonja and Melia are more valuable in prolonged PvE fights, Space improves turn order, and Lucifer or Xia become more effective when your team can protect its main damage dealer. Use the rankings below as a mode-by-mode investment guide, then adjust for your roster, gear, faction restrictions, and current team weaknesses.
This ranking is a practical baseline rather than a permanent leaderboard. Hero balance, new releases, gear quality, and stage restrictions can all change the value of a character. The list therefore focuses on repeatable usefulness across common content instead of ranking heroes by their best possible performance in one carefully designed team.
Do not read a lower placement as a warning that the hero is unusable. A hero with the right faction, gear, speed, and support can solve your immediate problem more efficiently than a higher-ranked character waiting for upgrades.
| Hero | Tier | Best use | Why they rank highly | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Katherine | S | General PvE, Tower, Arena, difficult stages | Broad support value and better team consistency | She improves a team more than she finishes enemies herself |
| Space | S | Arena, campaign, Dwarven Ruins, fast farming | Turn-order and tempo value can improve the whole team | Her impact falls when the team cannot win the speed or turn-order battle |
| Hezonja | S | Campaign, Tower, Guild Boss, Broken Spaces | Reliable damage in fights that last long enough for her output to build | She needs protection and consistent turns to show her full value |
| Lucifer | S | Arena, bosses, general PvE | Strong pressure against priority targets and high-value enemies | He is less useful when he is controlled, eliminated early, or poorly supported |
| Xia | S | Arena, bosses, focused PvE teams | High damage ceiling in teams built around her strengths | Her performance depends heavily on gear, timing, and team setup |
| Ben Austin | S | Guild Boss, Broken Spaces, damage-focused PvE | Offensive support helps a strong damage dealer produce more over a full fight | He is not a substitute for having a capable primary attacker |
| Melia | A | Guild Boss, Broken Spaces, Tower | Her value rises in longer battles where sustained damage matters | She is less attractive when the goal is an immediate, short clear |
| Nordak | A | Void Tower, faction stages, difficult PvE | Front-line durability makes demanding encounters more manageable | Teams built around him may clear more slowly |
| Wim | A | Campaign, Tower, early and mid-game PvE | Reliable team stability when an account lacks enough defensive support | He may eventually be replaced when stronger specialist options are available |
| Liz | A | Campaign, Tower, faction content | Helps PvE teams recover from damage and maintain consistent attempts | Her direct contribution to damage is limited |
| Mackin | A | Campaign, early progression, selected boss teams | Useful damage and progression value before a more specialised roster is complete | Late-game teams may prefer heroes with stronger mode-specific output |
| Mutu | A or specialist | Arena and control-heavy encounters | Disruption can be more valuable than extra damage in the right matchup | His value is more dependent on speed, enemy composition, and battle rules |
The most important distinction in this table is between universal value and mode value. Katherine and Space can improve many teams, while Melia, Ben Austin, and Mutu become especially attractive when the battle rewards their particular contribution. That difference should guide your resource decisions.
The following mode rankings are designed to help you choose a team core. The first group contains the heroes to consider before filling the remaining positions with damage, healing, control, or faction-specific options.
| Game mode | First heroes to consider | Useful alternatives | What matters most |
|---|---|---|---|
| Campaign and general PvE | Hezonja, Katherine, Space | Lucifer, Xia, Melia, Wim, Liz | Consistent wave clears, survivability, and a team that can repeat attempts |
| Dwarven Ruins | Hezonja, Lucifer, Space | Xia, Mackin, Ben Austin, Wim | Fast, reliable farming rather than a team that only succeeds under perfect conditions |
| Guild Boss | Hezonja, Ben Austin, Melia | Katherine, Lucifer, Xia, Mackin | Damage uptime, sustained output, and enough durability to keep attacking |
| Broken Spaces | Hezonja, Lucifer, Ben Austin | Space, Xia, Melia, Katherine | Efficient turns, focused damage, and dependable team rotations |
| Arena | Space, Lucifer, Xia | Katherine, Mutu, Nordak, Ben Austin | Speed, opening pressure, target selection, and protection against counterattacks |
| Void Tower and restricted stages | Katherine, Nordak, Wim, Liz | Hezonja, Melia, Mutu, Xia | Survival, control, and meeting faction or stage requirements |
Campaign progression rewards a balanced team more than a narrow damage record. Start with one primary damage dealer, then add enough support to keep that hero alive and taking turns. Hezonja is a strong choice for prolonged PvE battles, while Lucifer or Xia may suit an account that prefers focused burst damage.
Katherine and Space are valuable because they improve the conditions under which your damage dealers operate. If your roster does not contain a top-ranked legendary attacker, Mackin can still provide useful progression value, while Wim or Liz can stabilise a team that keeps losing before the final wave. A slower clear that succeeds consistently is usually more helpful than a theoretically faster team that fails against one difficult stage.
Boss modes favour heroes who keep contributing throughout the entire encounter. Hezonja and Melia are attractive when sustained damage has time to accumulate, while Ben Austin is most useful when your team already has a strong attacker for his offensive contribution to support.
Lucifer and Xia can add significant focused damage, but they need enough protection to remain active. Katherine becomes more valuable when your team is close to surviving a complete run but loses damage because a key hero falls too early. In these modes, a lower-ranked hero who acts every round can outperform a higher-ranked hero who requires more support than the rest of the team can provide.
Arena rankings look different because the opening sequence often decides the battle. Space is a natural priority for teams that depend on turn order, while Lucifer and Xia are strong choices for applying immediate pressure to an important target.
Katherine can help a team survive the opponent's first attack, and Mutu may be valuable when disruption is more important than raw damage. Nordak is worth considering when your team needs protection rather than another attacker. Avoid transferring a slow, long-fight PvE team directly into Arena; a composition that wins after several rotations may never get the chance to establish them.
Gear farming places a premium on repeatability. Hezonja, Lucifer, and Space are useful starting points for teams that need clear speed and dependable turns, while Mackin or Wim may be better choices if your current roster lacks either damage or stability.
Do not judge a farming team only by its fastest successful attempt. Test whether it can handle the stage consistently with the gear you actually own. A slightly slower team that does not require constant manual correction will make better use of your stamina and time.
Void Tower and other restricted stages can move a hero up the Infinite Magic Raid tier list for your account. A character who is only A tier in general PvE may become the best legal option when the stage limits factions, elements, or team roles.
These battles usually reward survival, control, and careful target selection. Katherine, Nordak, Wim, and Liz are useful starting points when your team dies before it can complete the fight. Add damage such as Hezonja, Melia, or Xia when your team survives comfortably but cannot meet the stage's damage requirement.
A tier list is most useful when it changes what you do with your next resources. Follow this order instead of promoting several heroes at the same time:
There is no single hero who is the best choice for every battle. Katherine and Space offer broad team value, while Hezonja, Lucifer, Xia, Melia, and Ben Austin become more attractive in particular damage or tempo-focused teams. The right choice depends on the mode, your gear, and the role your roster is missing.
Start with one dependable damage dealer and one source of sustain or protection. If your roster includes Hezonja, Lucifer, or Xia, choose the one that fits your available gear and team support rather than trying to build all three. Mackin, Wim, and Liz can also provide a practical progression core when your account lacks a complete legendary lineup.
No. Space is especially noticeable in Arena because turn order is so important there, but tempo support can also improve campaign clears and gear farming. Her value is lower when your team cannot take advantage of the speed advantage or when the stage is decided by long-term survival instead of the opening rotation.
Yes, if the A-tier hero fills a role your S-tier hero cannot. For example, a durable support may be more useful than a second damage dealer when your team keeps dying, and a boss specialist may be worth building even if that hero is less effective in Arena. Tier labels should guide investment, not prevent you from completing a functional team.
Restrictions should take priority over a general ranking. First identify the strongest team that is legally usable in the stage, then choose the carry, support, and control options that fit that group. Do not discard a workable restricted team simply because its heroes rank lower on a universal list.
Use this Infinite Magic Raid tier list as a spending filter rather than a fixed rulebook. Choose the mode, identify the role causing your losses, and invest in the hero who solves that problem most consistently. Broad-value choices such as Katherine, Space, Hezonja, Lucifer, Xia, and Ben Austin deserve attention, but an A-tier specialist can be the smarter upgrade when it matches your current objective.
