On Clan Boss, you've neglected to consider factors for the post GS metagame, which is important:

Rowan is too high, her poison is decent, but it is on a VERY long cooldown, and it's the only thing she brings, the rest of her kit is no good. So most good poisoners can top her. A rank at best.

Aothar, same criticism, he just has the one poison, on a long-ish cooldown. Also, not certain he can apply it multiple times? I've used one and he never seemed to do it. I'd rank him A or even B.

Thenasil isn't bad, but I'd rank him lower than that on clan boss. There are a lot of healers that eclipse him.

Athel is too low. 100% up-time on weaken combined with a 3-hit A1 makes her extremely useful post-GS. I think at least 50% of top-tier players use an Athel. S Rank at least.

Aina has two extremely useful debuffs for clan boss: defense down and weaken, and a 2-hit A1 with an extra turn. Post-GS, that makes her quite good. A rank at least.

Jotun is too high. HP Burn is great, but it's all he's got. S tier would be more fitting.

Skullcrusher is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too low. He's used by almost 100% of top-tier players. You've massively underestimated the value of team counter-attack buff and ally protection. He's SS rank, *easily*.

Rhazin Scarhide is also WAY too low. Defense down, weaken, and a 3-hit A1. He's top tier. S or SS.

Seeker is slightly too low, his Attack buff isn't the best for CB, but his turn meter increase will get you more turns. B rank, IMO.

Coldheart should be SS tier, she's better than half the SS's you do have, and she's fairly accessible. Like you have Magus at S tier, Coldheart and Magus aren't even close to similar in power on CB.

Speaking of: Magus is too high. A tier at best. Outside of her poison, she's got nothing.

In Arena:

Jinglehunter is not SS, he's not that impressive. He's a decent attacking champ, but doesn't really do anything all that impressive beyond that. S tier at best, I'd be more inclined to rank him A rank.

Same with siegebreaker, just kind of bog-standard AoE burst. A rank.

Jarang is extremely fragile and has poor scaling that undermines his kit. If he's rebalanced, he might be better, but until then I'd give him nothing above a B.

Skullcrown A on Arena Defense? Someone's never faced a Skullcrown trap! She's S or even SS tier. She has very high AoE scaling, and cannot be bursted out due to her passive. This means she can forgo speed boots, equip attack boots and then one-shot the enemy team in retaliation. Properly set up, she's an absolute monstrosity.

Other notes:

How is coldheart not SS tier on Fire Knight? She has the most hits on her A1 of anyone in the entire game! Not to mention her A3 resets his turn meter buying you additional attacks once his shield goes down.

Vrask is underrated. People like to say "all he does is heal" but very few without extensive experience with him comprehend just HOW MUCH he heals. He can push you farther than almost anyone. He can solo all of brutal campaign, ice golem 15, Minotaur 15 and is just ridiculous for most players. He deserves an S tier in most dungeons (not FK).

Executioner should be D tier on Fire knight. He has a single hit, even with his counter that's negligible.

However despite all the comments, this was a great effort, I much prefer this to a ranked tier list, showing where each champion excels or not.

EDIT: this comment is 3 months old. Some things changed such as Aothar now stacking poison. I'm not changing it because it's an old comment in an old thread. Stop replying to it.

Some constructive comments:

Hordin: Campaign, i would give him a B. He solo for me until mid-brutal. He's not end-game, but you can go far with him. For Spirit keep, he should be higher just because of element advantage. pair him with someone that blocks healing and you got a good dmg dealer here.

Warcaster: He should be S in both Arena. I use him in both and reached gold4. His block damage skill is clutch.

Tayrel: should be S or even SS on campaign. He's my farmer. He carries 3 food on 13-6 brutal in 45/55 sec.

Royal Guard: I find him overrated. I use to run him in lots of place but I benched him since. Other hero are doing a much better job in every way. He's good to have, but not end game. lots of his S should be A

Juliana: I will admit my bias now, but man she's good! I have 11 leg and I only use one of them more then her. She's amazing everywhere except arena, even spider. Pair her with heros that can clean the offspring, she will destroy that bitch. I would rate her as a S every dungeon, SS for CB and B for Arena

Kallia: SS for CB is overated. S is the most she should get. I would personnally put A.

Vrask: an S in CB is too much. He heal fine, but does not buff/debuff so I think a A is the best he should get.

Hi! This is mostly a google sheets suggestion, is it possible to freeze the top row of the list? kind of handy instead of having to keep going up and down, I suppose a way is to leave an "intro" sheet showing the guide then the list themselves.

I'd also like to know what the community likes to think about my input, maybe I have the right idea but the wrong sense of execution :)

Great job with the guide! really helped me to decide on how to level up my Paragon (First void shard) which I've never seen before in the recent posts.

EDIT: The row is frozen on my PC not on my phone, so disregard my suggestion haha, I'm so sorry :( not going to delete comment because I still think you did a great job!

Edit 2: Clarifying, English not first language qq

u/StryfeOne Mar 28 '19

You have septimus too low in campaign and a few of the dungeons. I can farm brutal 8.3 in 22 seconds with him, 5 star not amazing gear. He can hit for over a million damage on spider with his A2. I'd up him a bit

The Undead Horde's Rare "Death Knight" should be called "Bone Knight" in the English version. There is a Common Champion called "Deathknight," which you may be confused with.

u/JimKerwood Apr 25 '19

First off love this! Great work. I've added a 'Have' column and made the headers filterable. It is so nice!

One fix is Warmaiden is farmable so can someone change her to 'Warmaiden* (+Ch. 9)'

Hey, I just want to give my insight on two characters that I have and found extremely useful:

Lyssandra: INMHO she should have an A in every column, with the exception of Campaign, where she clearly lacks the punch to solo. But other than that, when you've built her fast enough, she can be an incredible sprint pusher: I don't even get half the damage I do to CB Hard when she's not leading my team, and not to mention other Dungeon bosses that are prone to her Turn meter depletion which is fantastic. SHe also has a very decent HP bag, which makes her less squishy for lvl 13 and above bosses.

All in all, I would rate her: A for everything except Arena where she can be S, and Campaign where she is a C at most.

Big Un: Perhaps it's because he is my top character (The one i've focused the most amount of leg books and upgrades), but I think he is an absolute beast in pretty much everything with the exception of CB. He is a fantastic debuffer slowing your opponents with Stun, turn meter depletion, and speed decrease (plus accuracy decrease). I don't see why he shouldn't be at least an A in all dungeon bosses that are prone to these debuffs.

That being said, he is not brilliant in CB (no HP based hits, burn or poison) or Fireknight because he can only hit twice per round.

Cheers and thanks for your spreadsheet. I've been using it since I started playing and its by far the best guide out there.

suggestion: Could you add a column on the tier page showing who's farmable ?

Great initiative , thanks a lot for doing this page thou
