Hey guys, ive been playing heroes tactics for a few weeks now and i'm stuck deciding wich heroes i should farm since there's no reliable tier list avaliable.
closest thing ive seen is this "old" youtube video
the thing is, theres a few other heroes not mentioned in the video that are obtainable on sky arena and on arena.
Let me thank anyone who takes the time to answer because you will not only help me but you will help others that search for an answer on this forum and on google.
Cheers, Bcool

You're right, there is no tier list. I'm a level 70 player with 5 purple + 2 heroes, but there are some people with a lot more experience than me, so don't take my word as gold! I'm planning on doing a more detailed 'review' of every hero in the game, but I've only just started this, and won't have it done for a while. Here's a few of my findings so far:-
FLYING MELEE CHARACTERS (PIXIE, DRACULA, HYPERIA, DRAKON, GLADIUS, PEGASUS, GABLE, PYRE & ZONA)
Top ones are Pixie, Dracula, Hyperia and Drakon. My personal favourite is Pixie due to her ability to petrify and stun multiple opponents, but Dracula is very popular, for good reason. His ability to drain life from other units mean he can self heal very well. Hyperia is very difficult to hit, and also self-heals, so this makes her an excellent character, although I use Pixie more often than I use her. I don't have Drakon, but he's very strong, with his poison ability being particularly good.Premium heroes Gladius and Pegasus are also very good, but you can only get these by spending a lot of money on the game. Gable's good at the beginning, but is easy to kill, and gets less useful later in the game. Pyre is pretty useless, in my opinion. He's fairly easy to kill, and his special is poor. It just doesn't do enough damage. Zona's not bad, but not great, either.
FLYING RANGED UNITS (AQUA, AIRY, KATLA)
This is a fairly small class. Aqua is my favourite, as she can stun and heal. However, she can't heal due to being an elemental. Airy has an interesting special of being able to hit everyone, but also can't heal, and I don't really use him/her. Katla is quite useful early in the game, but her special isn't very powerful, and she gets less useful as the game goes on. The only one of these characters I use regularly is Aqua, who I use in the Sky Arena.
OTHER RANGED UNITS (MEDUSA, HELENA, MERLIN, MAKHAI, STRYKER, ZIA, PEI, CYCLOPS)
This is one of the most important classes. I use a lot of these characters on a regular basis. The top ones are HELENA, MERLIN, PEI and CYCLOPS. Helena is the best healer in the game, so while her attack isn't that strong, she is excellent and keeping your team alive. Merlin is the best ranged attacker for damage, so so long as you keep him out of harm's way, he's well worth investing in. Pei has an excellent special, self heals, and is very hard to kill. He is ALWAYS in my team. The same goes for Cyclops. Cyclops is very tough, and his ability to throw opponents in the air and drop them somewhere else on the field is great. Makhai can summon troops, but these troops are very weak against top level teams, so this skill is only useful early in the game. Stryker is useful early in the game, but he doesn't level well. Zia has a few useful skills, but she just isn't as good as some of these other ranged units. Medusa has a great special, but, again, she isn't as good as some of the other ranged units.
I will try to review the other units in a separate post, but hopefully this will give you some ideas of who to invest in.

there is no tier list because it depends on the formation and who the other 4 heroes are, and what the opponent is.
there are some good threads on this forum where people explain what good arena teams are, so just look at that.

Just realised I forgot about Frosty and Fiesty in the Flying melee section. I don't have either of these characters, so can't really comment. What I can say is they aren't very popular in the arena, so probably aren't great.

No problem, bcool.
I'll do some more.
MEDIUM - FAST MELEE UNITS (TRINITY, INFERNIO, ZORAK, ELEMIX, TRISTAN, IGOR, PERSEUS, CENTAUR, HADRIAN, ARIES, RAINA, ALEXANDER)
There are a lot of heros in this group, but the best of these are probably, Zorak, Igor & Centaur. Zorak is a ninja type character which can move across the board in his first turn. His special is very powerful, too, and he is very popular in the arena and sky arena amongst players, for good reason. Igor starts off pretty terrible due to being quite easy to kill. However, he has a great attack, and his special is very strong. He also gets much better towards the end of the game. I use him for every boss endurance attack I do, and he usually does the most damage of all the characters I have. Centaur is tough, and very hard to kill. He also has not 1 but 2 stuns. Another excellent character is Elemix, but this is a premium one which most people (me included) can't afford.
Regarding the other characters here, Trinity has a nice special and good self healing abilities, but he dies too easily when I use him. Tristan is good at the start of the game, but he doesn't level well, and I no longer use him. Perseus has a very useful skill, 'Sound the horn', which can increase team's critical hit rate to 100% for the first round. This is useful, but otherwise, the character is just average. Hadrian has some potential due to being good at dodging and having a powerful special, but there are other characters that are slightly better than him, so I never use him. Aries is really not very good. Because he's undead, he can't heal like some other characters, and he's not that great otherwise, so I never use him either. Alexander starts off very good, but he doesn't level well, and I no longer use him, and Raina looks good on paper, but I've not seen her used much by top players, which probably means she's not that great. I've not got her, though, so I'm not really sure how well she plays.
That just leaves the slow characters left to comment on...

SLOW UNITS (IVES, ISHA, GRUMP, LAZARUS, KAMUS, SALVO & MUCKER)
The best character in this group are probably Kamus, Isha, Ives and Grump. Kamus is a character that gets better later in the game. He is very tough and has a great attack. His special is fantastic, too. Isha is similar to Kamus. She's slightly less tough, but her special is probably even more powerful than Kamus'. Grump is just very, very tough. He can take more of a battering than anyone, I feel, and tends to resist most harmful effects cast on him (fire, ice, poison etc). He's very popular in the arena due to his ability to take a beating. Ives is also very tough, he can self heal, and he can slow down enemy heros. I haven't used him a lot, but there are other people who think he's great. Feel free to try him for yourself and decide if you want to use him. Salvo isn't great. His special is average, and he's not that tough. The same could be said for Mucker. Lazarus is very slow, only able to move 1 square at a time, which just seems to slow to be useful. I haven't used him a lot though, so I can't say I've really given him a fair chance. If other people have and want to comment, feel free!

Lazarus is very slow, only able to move 1 square at a time, which just seems to slow to be useful. I haven't used him a lot though, so I can't say I've really given him a fair chance. I did an analyze of lazarus a while ago for my guild. I think he might be sleeper OP. His skills are all very usefull. 1: He is very tanky. 2: He removes stun and gives a good atk buff 3: He is a natural counter to hyperia, since he gain more energy then she steals 4: His knockback reduce damage, and can help him move opponent cards away from your ranged 5: He actually does quite a lot of damage, with and without ult Also, he moves 2 squares. Only Helena moves 1 square. I've tried him in various set ups, most often there are better options, but i've also made him work very well.

In answer to your original question, there is no tier list, and there are a lot of good characters you could farm. There are also some that really aren't good, but there are still a lot of different setups which work. Try experimenting with some of the better ones, and see which suits your playing style.

Very Good Post. Other posts were confusing. I am an early player (lvl 47), but I can see that Centaur is very good at tanking, stunning and very easy to get (farming, arena or Sky). I found a table about stats at lvl 70 heroes-tactics.wikia.com/wiki/Max_StatsFrom which I can rank: Top overall heroes are Kamus, Drakon, Pegasus, Elemix, Gladius, Cyclop. Top Damage heroes are Pegasus, Elemix, Zorak, Hadrian, Infernio, Raina. Top Defense+HP are Mucker, Centaur, Grump, Aries, Tristan, Gladius, Alexander, Drácula, Pegasus. Top M. Defense+HP are Grump, Drakon, Alexander, Lazarus, Centaur, Kamus, Gladius This include only stats, and permanent buff (like Centaur +HP at purple). I have read, and also don´t like heroes with Elemental or Cooperation, unless are u making a hole team based on this strategy. So avoid this heroes on early game.
