This Age of Magic meta list runs from SS at the top down to C at the bottom. SS tier heroes are the ones worth prioritizing above almost everything else, while C tier heroes are fine for early progression but will not carry you through tougher content.

SS Tier Heroes

These are the units you should be aiming your resources at first. Most of them perform brilliantly even with minimal investment, and a few are strong enough to solo entire boss fights on their own.

Hero	Class Focus	Why They Rank Here
Abaddon	Damage	Turns raw aggression into consistent, heavy hitting damage
Kage	Assassin	Shuriken Throw and Death Strike shred through squishy targets
Azariel	Healer and Damage	Rare hybrid that heals big while still punishing enemies
Lucky	Healer	Reliable sustain that keeps your frontline standing
Skirt (Rok)	Control and Damage	Frost Spike and Frozen Prison lock enemies down before finishing them
Sacrif	Support	Strong utility pick that fits into most competitive lineups
Maedb	Damage	Consistently ranked among the hardest hitters in the current meta
Trorin	Tank	Soaks damage while giving your team room to breathe
Succubus	Control	Debuffs and disruption that shut down enemy plans
Sun Wukong	Damage	Mobile, aggressive, and punishing when built correctly
Siegfried	Tank and Damage	Rare mix of durability and offense that holds up in almost any matchup
Xaart	Support	Enables the rest of your SS tier picks to perform at their best

If you are only chasing a handful of heroes, this is your shortlist. These are the names that show up again and again across community discussions as the strongest picks in the current meta.

Swamp Killer	Damage	Dependable pick for specific matchups
Tiros	Damage	Mace Strike lands three hits in a single combo
Blood Mage	Damage	Strong secondary damage dealer for most team comps
Angrim	Support	Solid utility that rounds out a squad nicely
Arekhon Shadow	Assassin	Fast, punishing damage against backline targets
Balthazar	Control	Keeps enemy heroes locked out of their best skills
Tsuna	Damage	Consistent contributor in longer fights
Arekhon Guard	Tank	Frontline stability for newer players

Myrddin	Support	Underrated pick that pairs well with healers
Rearspit	Damage	Punishing ranged attacker
Soothsayer Zytima	Support	Great pick for control focused teams

A Tier Heroes

This tier is packed, and honestly, a lot of players get through most of the campaign on A tier heroes alone. Names like Blood Emperor, Infernus, Akhrasht, Cathbad, Jagg, Avatar, Silver Moon, Pride, Tricky, Wieland, Dexxa, Arkhane, Sabertooth, Drakonir, Troddar, and Liongo all fall here. None of them are game breaking on their own, but slot a couple into a well built team and they hold their weight in campaign and early arena pushes.

B Tier Heroes

B tier heroes like Arekhon Spear, Katar, Eraser, Roland, Gatekeeper, Grok, Torak, and Bellara are perfectly fine while you are still leveling up and figuring out the game. Do not sink your best resources into them long term, but do not feel bad using them to clear early content either.

C Tier Heroes

The C tier is the longest list in this Age of Magic hero tier list, and for good reason. Heroes like Roger, Hilia, Wyrm Priest, Zhu Bajie, Magnus, Phoenix, Drake, Mordred, and dozens of others simply do not bring enough to the table compared to what is above them. If one of these is all you have early on, use it to get through the tutorial and swap out the moment something better drops.

How To Use This Age of Magic Tier List Effectively

A tier list is a starting point, not gospel. Here is how to actually apply it:

Focus your shards and upgrade materials on SS and S tier heroes first. Spreading resources thin across too many heroes slows your progress far more than committing to a handful of strong ones.
Balance your team composition instead of stacking pure damage. A squad full of attackers with no healer or tank falls apart fast against anything with real sustain.
Reroll early if you can. Since your starting roster shapes your first few hours, landing an SS or S tier hero right away saves a lot of grinding later.
Keep an eye on balance patches. Rankings shift as developers tweak numbers, so what sits in A tier today could climb or drop next update.

Age of Magic Tier List – Factors Taken Into Consideration

To build this Age of Magic full tier list, we took into account a specific lot of factors into consideration. Consider these factors as base guidelines according to which we ranked all heroes. It helps to know what pushes a hero up or down the rankings. Damage output matters, sure, but so does survivability, healing, and how well a hero supports the rest of your lineup.

A hero that hits hard but dies in one turn is not nearly as valuable as one that keeps your whole team alive while chipping away at the enemy. With over a hundred heroes in the game, this Age of Magic character list can feel overwhelming at first. That is exactly why a tier list exists, to save you the trial and error.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q. What is the best hero to start with in Age of Magic?

A. Abaddon, Kage, and Azariel are consistently ranked among the strongest early picks. If you can pull any of these three, build your first team around them.

Q. Is this Age of Magic tier list accurate for both PvE and PvP?

A. Mostly, yes. Damage dealers and healers from the SS and S tiers perform well in both campaign and arena, though some control focused heroes matter more in PvP where you are facing real opponents instead of AI.

Q. How often does the Age of Magic meta list change?

A. Balance updates happen periodically, and they can shift certain heroes up or down a tier. It is worth checking back every few months, especially after a major patch.

Q. Should I use resources on A tier heroes if I do not have SS tier picks yet?

A. Absolutely. A tier heroes carry plenty of players through the campaign comfortably. Do not wait around for a perfect roster before you start playing seriously.

Q. Are C tier heroes ever worth using?

A. Mainly for early progression or specific niche situations. Once you unlock better options, it is usually smarter to bench them.

Q. Does hero rarity affect where they land on the tier list?

A. Not directly. Placement comes down to actual performance and utility rather than rarity alone, though rarer heroes do tend to have stronger base kits.
