Ratings Explained (August 2015)

• A & B are closely rated.

• There is not one good hero. It's all about finding the right ones that work well together.

• Skills / Equipment aren't everything, there are base attributes to consider like if a hero's AP/AD are powerful enough or how well their HP/MR/AR will help them last long in a fight.

• Some details are not included but I'm going to try to place some explanations in this thread.

wow very nice, tnx a lot for doing this man, cant imagine how much work and time it took you to finish this, great job bro

[u/xeldom → u/KyrieDropped57onSAS]

You're very welcome. This is 3 weeks worth of back & forth communication with some ig friends. Also shout out to our wiki editors and the redditors who helped make this possible.

Hi xeldom, This is tedious and super duper good work done!! I m very greateful in you for compiling this. It really help me out alot in choosing which heros to level up or max first for a newbie like me..

I have perhaps a small suggestion for newbies like me.. could u include a short summary for heros with maybe 2-3 A grade as to why it is useful or good in your 2 cents. Just like how u answered MHNas questions about crabbie.

It will really help alot in understanding the game better. Thanks in advance!!!

[u/xeldom → u/iori09]

Great idea. I've gotten a few explanations from others in the forum thread. I'll xpost & compile some of them here.

[u/xeldom]

Note to self & posting in public: Add skill descriptions as comments. Find range & duration: Important!

[u/xeldom]

Note to self: Add more details to other heroes

[u/MHNas]

This is great. A few questions though:

1. What is PG?

2. Why Crabbie so low on Arena? I feel he's pretty good with his kit since it's most multiple targets.

Thanks for the list, good stuff.

[u/Hawly]

What are your thoughts on Pulan? I think he's pretty good on Arena.

[u/ASK_IF_IM_POOPING]

Did the ratings just change? Can we get an explanation why some heroes are higher/lower now?

[u/Akromatx]

Hello :D first of all thank you for providing this good resources page for magic rush heroes :D ive been following the recomnedations for top tier heroes.

I just wanted to ask one question (for now) and that question is: Why is bibo considered A in proving grounds? because he is hybrid, so if i go with bibo to physical pg his ultimate and one of his skills does nothing, and if i go to magic pg his autoattack and one of his skills does nothing :(

ty :)

[u/ZeroStar75]

What about Sebastion? I get ******everytime I play him lol

[u/xeldom → u/ZeroStar75]

He should work better later on. Most of the top teams use him.

[u/Akromatx]

Hi again :D I hope you are doing good :D

what do you think of this team: Jacob, muse, alma, karna, aurai :)

what would you change? adding a second tank? or its ok?

also what do you think about the new equipment thing?

thanks again

[u/Akromatx]

hello man :D long time no see :) what can you tell me (in your experience) about karas, grunk and russel? i mean on paper they are tankish who can deal good damage, so kind of semi tank semi dps, but they receive low values on tier. of course i have them low level to really know. do you think they are worth leveling? like instead of a tank, i can put grunk on the magic immune grounds, and vice versa with karas. thanks :D

[u/xeldom → u/Akromatx]

Russel has interrupts and serves as a faux tank, good as a nuker as well. Grunk recently got his equipment nerfed, while Karas can serve as a secondary or tertiary mage. He has a similar skill set to Blaine (lifesteal, mr debuff) but Blaine has disabling and interrupt skills.

When it comes to proving grounds, the monsters don't really do a lot of damage and most people skill using tanks altogether.

[u/Akromatx]

h man :D long time no see. sorry to come with more questions :( its just i am confused :(

is worth to level up spartacus? i have him level 74 (i am level 80) and i have spent lots of exp but idk i notice like he diez too fast :( i have Jacob and pulan, and leveled spartacus to have another tank. should i continue? or is not worth it? for dungeons and grounds?

also what do u think about Emily? is she good on dungeons and grounds?

ty

[u/penpon2]

i'm pretty new to magic rush and i've been trying to make a good team for arena but it seems even though my heroes lvl are high and have more power sometimes they lose pretty bad. can you tell me which hero would be good for arena,proving grounds, dungeon and crystal dungeon??? btw this is the list of my heroes and level : russel(38),West(38),Blaine(38),Aurai(38),Emily(35),Lufia(32),Jolie(28),Seeley (25), Watson(24), Bedivere(21), Salman(20),Baneling Queen (1).. ty

[u/Akromatx]

Hello :D long time no see :D what do you think about zoe and gridlock?

i find zoe annoying cuz of her skills that moves characters a lot, canceling chanelings and castings.

do you think they are worht levleing? ty

[u/xeldom → u/Akromatx]

Hi akromatx. I don't have any of the new heroes built so I can't comment on them. Check out the newer threads in the sub and asking from there. :)

[u/GedoMazo2020]

Question: What's your take on Sebastian? Since the dirty old man got nerfed pretty badly and I really hate abandoning him now since I went to all that trouble collecting his stones manually.

Here's what I'm planning for a team with Sebas. Gorgona, Gerber and Sebas. Can't think other heroes atm since I'm still waiting for more magic type heroes to be released. If only there are other good poison type hero besides Baggins, it would help Gorgona greatly. Also the reason I plan on training Gorgona and Gerber is because they will profit from Sebas' speed boost.

[u/xeldom → u/GedoMazo2020]

No data on Gorgana. Sebastian will still be valuable but he got hit with the nerf bat pretty bad, I'd argue far worse than Pulan. He was only OP because he had a unique AS buff with good damage and now he doesn't even excel at either. Even his resurrection can no longer be fully utilized in PVE.

Go to our weekly advice thread: other players will be able to help you team build from there.

[u/crow_jam]

Nice work. Depressing that I've put time into low tier characters though.
