Hello Champions! I hope everyone is doing well today! I’m bringing you a often imitated, never duplicated hero tier list! This will encompass all the heroes from the core box through Star-Lord and Gamora.
Now often people critique the rankings and that’s fine, user experiences may vary, and I try to give a breakdown of how I go about ranking the heroes so I thought I’d dive a little deeper into my process first.
First I’ll talk about the categories I rank them in.
Theme: does this character feel like the character? Is the theme designed well in this character
Fun factor: Do I enjoy playing this hero? Am I having fun? How much does this hero feel like “work”?
Solo/MP viability: how this hero performs in solo and multiplayer scenarios
Aspects: does this character work with all the aspects? Where are they lacking or excelling?
Power Level: how strong is this hero in solo & multiplayer, this is the heaviest weighted category.
Now using these factors i give each hero a ranking from 1-10 in the most objective lens possible. I then put these heroes into tiers based on their average rating.
Now for the updated rankings, then after I’ll talk about one or two heroes in each tier. (Just as a disclaimer, heroes ranked from A through B all are fairly close in rankings so they are easily interchangeable up or down a tier based on player. S,A+, and C- though im fairly confident on staying on a hill for where they are ranked)
S: Doctor Strange hasn’t moved and probably won’t. Scarlet Witch is a new addition to the S tier, she is really strong, tons of fun, can play well solo and multiplayer and Can play any aspect well, and has access to spiritual meditation, which might be the best card in the game.
A+: Gamora: she’s brand new and slashes her way into A+ tier. Oh my, she’s lots of fun, her mechanics with the thwart/attack cards to trigger her abilities are great design wise, her kit can handle any situation in any player count! She’s a force.
A: Rocket Raccoon came with the box, and honestly he’s an upgraded version of thor in my eyes, they play in the same space though mechanically different. The thing is Rocket just does it better. So he’s a solid A tier hero.
B+: Star-Lord is another new hero and he has a very unique play style. It’s a high-risk high reward style where he gets bonuses for having facedown encounter cards, problem is against harder scenarios these multiple cards you reveal a turn can cause you to go from in complete control to dead or lose on threat. Now he rewards a high pilot skill level and timing his stuff out gives way to strong plays. He has some really strong combos like the Avengers leadership deck abusing blaze of glory. But he does have a fairly low floor so that’s why he’s B+.
B: Groot is another new hero, he is all about building growth counters and using them to unleash the flora colossus. Now he’s a little more restrictive in maximizing his output for a game. He fits well in protection and justice but in my games hasn’t played as well in the others so that’s why he’s B.
C-: Hulk.
thats It for this one! 3.5 will come after agent venom Is in the wild. I’m super pumped for him. Huge thanks to Hall of Heroes for letting me rip all the hero images from their site. Stay scheming champions.
