The Only Kingshot Hero Tier List You Actually Need cover

Quick Summary

In Kingshot, every hero has a different role. Some are great for attacking, some are strong at defending, and others are better as joiners. Most websites put all heroes into one single tier list, but that doesn't really make sense and often misleads players.

So I made this tier list to help you know which heroes to focus on based on your role in the alliance, whether you're an attacker, defender, or joiner. On this page, you'll find three separate tier lists: one for attackers, one for defenders, and one for joiners.

Overview

The Only Kingshot Hero Tier List You Actually Need In Kingshot, every hero has a different role. Some are great for attacking, some are strong at defending, and others are better as joiners. Most websites put all heroes into one single tier list, but that doesn't really make sense and often misleads players.

Rally (Attack) Heroes Tier List

When you're launching a rally, the widget expedition skill is the most important. It gives a multiplicative boost to your stats, which means the higher your stats are, the bigger the bonus you'll get. So, the first thing you should check when starting an attack rally is the widget of the hero you're sending. This is also why heroes with an attack widget are much stronger and rank higher in tier lists.

Garrison (Defender) Heroes Tier List

The defender hero tier list is basically the opposite of the attacker tier list. When picking defender heroes, the main thing to check is whether their widget expedition skill is for defending or attacking. Right now (up to Gen 4), the best defender heroes are Jabel, Zoe, Hilde, Eric, Jaeger, Alcar, and Margot since they all have defender widgets. Saul is also a good option, but I put him in A Tier because one of his three expedition skills is a growth skill (it boosts construction speed) instead of a battle skill.

Joiner Heroes Tier List

The joiner hero tier list might look a little strange at first, like why Gordon is only in A Tier while Saul is ranked higher. But if you've read my other article, "Joiner Hero Mechanics No One Told You About," it'll make more sense. S Tier joiner heroes are the ones you can stack (use four of the same) and still get great results. For example, 4 Sauls or 4 Hildes give a much bigger boost in the SkillMod than 4 Gordons.

Bear Hunt Joiner Heroes Tier List

Joiner heroes for Bear Hunt are a bit different because the goal is only to boost damage—not health or defense; since the Bear doesn't deal any damage. In this case, the best joiner heroes are the ones that increase Attack or Lethality . Hilde is placed in A Tier because her attack boost is lower than the S Tier heroes—she gives a 15% boost while S Tier heroes give 25%. Still, she's a decent option if you don't have any of the stronger joiner heroes available.
