Faction divided tier list

If you are looking for a ranking of all the heroes above 4★, this page should hopefully help you out.

Bear in mind that this is only a general idea. A tier list is never something that everyone agrees on.

If you want to help, discuss or just talk about Idle heroes, this discord link will bring you to a community of like-minded players.

PvE rating is an average of the Aspen Dungeon, Guild Raid and Pray for Fire, Tower of Oblivion and Broken Space.
Update Notices
Updated in accordance with MKxJumps May 2019 E3 Tier list. Note only the End game columns for PvP and PvE have been updated.

Classification

Tier	Rating	Description
1 - God	★★★★★	Highest tier in the game. Use these heroes if possible. They're your long-term goal.
2 - Excellent	★★★★	Excellent tier. Very viable heroes that will follow you for a very long time.
3 - High	★★★	Very good tier. All of these heroes are viable picks.
4 - Mid	★★	Average tier neither bad nor good. Pick these heroes if you have no better option.
5 - Low	★	Quite a low tier. If you have to use these heroes, try to replace them if you can.
