Fast answer
The answer before the background
The official product describes 11 heroes with distinct skills and more than 10 rune types, but it does not publish a current universal ranking. The useful answer is therefore role-based: test one hero for wave control, one for boss pressure and one for survival at comparable level, rune and equipment investment. Record the app ID and version, because the separate free and premium products can receive different updates or purchases.
Evidence boundary
What is verified, and what still needs a live test
| Question | Verified answer | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Roster size | The official pages advertise 11 heroes. | That every account or edition unlocks all 11 in the same way. |
| Build system | Heroes have skills and can equip runes. | That one rune set wins every map and tournament. |
| Upgrade breadth | The product page counts hero, tower and power-up statistics among 75 upgrades. | That an old stat screenshot matches the current build. |
| Balance changes | Apple history records a Zenecia rebalance in version 2.4.92. | That an undated ranking still reflects later balance. |
Test card
Compare one job at equal investment
- Write down product ID, platform, version, stage, difficulty and selected tower plan before the run.
- Hold hero level, equipment quality and rune investment as close as the client allows.
- Run the same wave at least three times and record leaks, boss time, hero deaths and remaining lives.
- Score manual burden separately; a powerful skill that requires perfect timing is not the same recommendation as a stable auto result.
- Mark unavailable heroes as untested instead of filling the table with estimates copied from another edition.
Decision
Choose a role before choosing a name
A campaign account usually gains more from covering its missing job than from chasing the newest portrait. If swarms cross the lane, compare control radius and uptime. If the boss survives after ordinary enemies are gone, isolate single-target pressure. If the hero repeatedly falls before using a second skill, compare durability and deployment safety.
For Infinite Challenge, repeat the comparison on the tournament rules and enemy mix rather than importing a campaign result. A hero can be a specialist without being a poor investment, while a flexible generalist may produce the most value for an account with limited runes.
We will publish named placements only after recording comparable current-client runs. Release date, rarity, price and one damage screenshot are not enough to create a defensible tier.
FAQ
Common questions
Who is the best hero?
No first-party universal ranking exists. Test heroes by wave control, boss damage, survival, cost and mode at comparable investment.
How many heroes are officially described?
The current official product and store descriptions advertise 11 heroes.
Do runes affect comparisons?
Yes. The official game includes more than 10 rune types, so rune access and investment belong on every test card.
Why should a tier list show the version?
Official version history records balance changes, including a Zenecia rebalance, and the free and premium products can diverge.
