Rarity is a poor shortcut for deciding where to spend resources in Mythic Heroes. A rare hero with limited development can contribute less than a well-built unit that fits your formation, equipment and available support. This Mythic Heroes tier list ranks heroes by their value as long-term team anchors rather than by rarity alone. S-tier heroes are dependable foundations, A-tier heroes are strong choices with clearer conditions, and B-tier heroes are better treated as specialists or temporary investments. For most accounts, the safest plan is one main damage dealer, one durable front-line hero, and enough support to keep that core active.
The list below is designed for players deciding which heroes deserve concentrated investment for campaign progress and competitive battles. It is a general-purpose ranking, not a guarantee that one hero will dominate every stage. A hero’s copies, equipment, skill development, position and team support can matter as much as the name on the tier list.
| Tier | Heroes to consider | Best use | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Lucifer, Odin, Iset, Western Queen, Nuwa | Long-term carries, front-line anchors and flexible support cores | They still need a balanced formation and concentrated investment |
| A | Hades, Athena, Idun, Murasaki, Susanoo, Artemis, Amaterasu, Typhon | Strong core options when their role matches your account | More dependent on positioning, matchup or a specific team structure |
| B | Ganesha, Cassandra, Dionysus, Poseidon, Medusa, Anubis, Joan of Arc, Persephone, Izanami, Cleopatra, Aladdin | Specialist roles, early progression and developed alternatives | Usually less reliable as the first major investment for a new account |
The S tier is not a five-hero team. It is a pool of units that can define a formation. In practice, most players should choose one primary damage option, add a front-line anchor and then select support or control heroes that solve the problems their account is actually facing.
Lucifer is one of the clearest choices when you need a hero capable of carrying a fight after receiving serious investment. His value comes from giving the team a clear win condition: protect him, give him enough time to operate, and let the rest of the formation cover his weaknesses.
Build around Lucifer when your account already has a dependable front line or support option. He is less effective when placed in a team with several other partial damage dealers but no unit capable of absorbing pressure. If Lucifer repeatedly falls before contributing, adding another damage hero will usually not solve the problem; better protection or more durable positioning will.
Odin belongs high on this Mythic Heroes tier list because a strong front-line hero improves the performance of everyone behind him. He can give a damage dealer more time to work and make difficult campaign stages less dependent on a perfect opening sequence.
Choose Odin when your team loses because the front line collapses too quickly. His limitation is straightforward: a durable anchor cannot compensate for a roster that lacks damage. Pair him with one focused carry and avoid filling the remaining positions with more units that perform the same defensive job.
Iset is a valuable build-around support because she helps a team remain functional during longer fights. Her presence is most useful when your main carry already has the potential to win but cannot stay active long enough to do so.
Iset should usually follow your first serious damage investment rather than replace it. If your team survives comfortably but repeatedly runs out of time, a second support may have less value than a stronger damage option. Her best use is making an already-defined team more reliable.
Western Queen is especially attractive for players who want one support hero that can fit around different carries. She is a sensible long-term choice when you are still developing your roster because her usefulness is not limited to a single narrow formation.
Her value rises when the rest of the team has a clear plan. A support hero cannot create a win condition by herself, so pair Western Queen with a developed damage dealer and a front-line unit. Running several support heroes before either of those roles is established can make the team stable but too slow to finish fights.
Nuwa earns an S-tier position as a flexible utility option. She can be considered when a stage requires more than raw damage, especially if your formation needs additional protection, control or timing support.
Nuwa is a good choice for players who dislike rebuilding their entire squad for every mode. Her limitation is that flexible utility can be harder to measure than direct damage. Test her by looking at whether she changes the fight’s outcome, not simply whether her personal numbers are high.
Hades and Typhon are useful choices when you want a team that can apply pressure while still contesting the front line. They suit players who prefer a more aggressive formation rather than a setup built around a single protected back-line carry.
Both become more attractive when your account already has enough sustain. If they are used as the only source of damage and the rest of the team is built too defensively, fights may become slow. Treat them as core damage or pressure options, then use the remaining slots to cover survival and control.
Athena is a strong investment for campaign stages where your damage dealers are being eliminated before they can complete their rotation. She gives a formation a defensive centre and is often easier to use than a second offensive specialist when your team is already capable of dealing sufficient damage.
Choose Athena when a defensive failure is stopping progression. Avoid prioritising her simply because she is highly rated if your actual problem is a lack of damage. A protective front line is valuable only when there is something behind it worth protecting.
Idun is a practical choice for teams that lose gradually rather than immediately. She is most useful when your formation can already survive the opening exchange but needs additional support to finish a long battle.
Her priority falls if Iset or another developed support already covers the same need. In that situation, invest in a carry, control hero or front-line improvement instead of spreading resources across several units with overlapping functions.
Murasaki is a good A-tier option for players who prefer to win through control, timing and disruption rather than straightforward damage. She can become more valuable in stages where the enemy formation is dangerous if allowed to act freely.
Her performance depends more on positioning and team timing than that of a simple damage dealer. If your formation cannot take advantage of the openings she creates, her investment may feel disappointing. Pair her with a carry that benefits from the time and space she provides.
Susanoo, Artemis and Amaterasu give you different ways to build around back-line or aggressive damage. They are worth considering when one of them is significantly better developed than the S-tier options available on your account, or when your existing formation needs a particular kind of pressure.
Artemis and Amaterasu are more dependent on protection because their value comes from operating safely behind the front line. Susanoo is a better fit for players who want a more aggressive damage plan. None of these heroes should be judged only by a tier label; the one you can develop consistently may be the strongest choice for your roster.
B-tier placement means that a hero is less likely to be the best first long-term project for a general account. It does not mean the hero cannot win battles. A developed B-tier hero can outperform an unfinished S-tier hero, particularly when the B-tier unit fills a role your team currently lacks.
Ganesha and Joan of Arc are worth considering when your formation needs more defensive stability. Cassandra and Dionysus can help teams that lack sustain or support. Poseidon, Medusa and Anubis become more appealing when control or disruption is the reason a stage is failing.
Persephone, Izanami, Cleopatra and Aladdin can also be sensible choices when they are already well developed or fit the faction and formation options available to you. The mistake is not using a B-tier hero; the mistake is investing heavily without knowing what problem that hero is supposed to solve.
A good hero still needs a formation that lets the hero perform. Use this process before spending a large amount of upgrade material.
| Account need | Core approach | Useful additions | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| General campaign progress | One focused carry such as Lucifer or Hades | Odin or Athena, one support and one flexible utility hero | Using several damage dealers without enough protection |
| Long or attritional battles | Durable front line with sustained damage | Iset, Idun or another support plus control | Adding more tanks after survival is already adequate |
| Competitive pressure | Carry that can act safely and apply pressure quickly | Front-line stability, disruption and a support option | Copying a damage-heavy formation without matching its development level |
| Limited hero copies | Your best-developed carry that can be improved consistently | Heroes that cover missing roles rather than duplicate the carry | Abandoning a functional team to chase a higher tier in theory |
The most important decision is usually not which hero is ranked first. It is how widely you spread your resources. A focused team with one developed carry and a functional support structure will normally be easier to use than five heroes that are all partially upgraded.
There is no single best hero for every account and mode. Lucifer is a strong candidate for a primary damage investment, while Odin, Iset, Western Queen and Nuwa offer high value as front-line or support anchors. The best first choice is the hero you can develop consistently and place in a team that covers its weaknesses.
Usually, your account needs one dependable damage dealer before it needs several high-level supports. Build a support early if your current carry already survives and your team is failing because of sustain or utility. Otherwise, concentrate on a main damage option and add support once the win condition is clear.
They solve different defensive problems, so the answer depends on your formation. Athena is a sensible choice when protection and defensive stability are the immediate concern, while Odin is a strong option when you want a front-line anchor that gives the team room to operate. Test which one addresses the way your team is currently losing.
Yes. A B-tier hero can be the correct choice when it is already well developed, fills a missing role or works particularly well against the content you are facing. Tier placement describes general investment value, not a rule that makes the hero unusable.
No. Campaign teams often value reliable damage, sustain and the ability to survive repeated stages, while Arena rewards different combinations of pressure, timing, disruption and positioning. A hero who is excellent for campaign progression may need a different formation to perform well in competitive battles.
Do not rebuild immediately because a hero moves up or down on a list. Read the changed ability text, compare the hero at a similar development level and test whether the adjustment affects the mode you play. Your existing copies, equipment and team structure should all be part of the decision.
Use this Mythic Heroes tier list as a spending filter, not as a substitute for team diagnosis. Start with one reliable win condition, protect it with a suitable front line, add the support your formation actually needs and keep specialist heroes for problems they are equipped to solve. That approach will usually produce a stronger squad than chasing rarity or switching teams every time a ranking changes.
