Fire Emblem Heroes Tier List - Fire Emblem Heroes Guide - IGN (2024)

This page is part of IGN's Fire Emblem Heroes Wiki guide and details everything you need to know about the best characters in the game. In our complete FEH tier list, we have gathered a culmination of opinions from around the internet, so be sure to keep that in mind. If you have an ally that works incredibly well on your team, don't dismiss them just because they don't make it onto this list.

This list will evolve as we have more hands-on time with Fire Emblem Heroes, and will definitely change if more Heroes are released!

Currently, the Grey archer Takumi, and the Green axe-user Hector, are considered the best units in Fire Emblem Heroes. Their amazing counter abilities make them choice allies. See Tecchen's illustration of how this works:

There are plenty of other powerful Heroes to use though!

Generally speaking, if a Hero is only available as a 5* unit, they're probably worth keeping. These include the following Heroes:

• Tier 1 / Grade S Heroes: The very best Heroes
• Tier 2 / Grade A Heroes: Great heroes
• Tier 3 / Grade B Heroes: Above average Heroes
• Tier 4 / Grade C Heroes: Honorable mentions. These heroes were mentioned on tier lists at least half of the time, but either did not score well or are situational.

Characters with * before their name means they were ranked SS, and may very well be one of the best characters in the game.

Scoring Method Details:

This tier list was compiled by averaging scores from multiple tier lists with the following kept in mind.

• List's average awarded score

• Number of lists that included the Hero

• Number of Heroes rated on the list

• Average score of Heroes in that color

• Outliers in the score set

• General attitude about that hero observed in community

The lower the number, the higher ranked the Hero. Scores were weighted as follows:

SS = .5
S = 1
A = 2
B = 3
C = 4

Here are two examples:

Barst's averaged score is 3.3. However, only half of all lists included him, one of the lists scored him a 4, and one of them awarded an overwhelming number of heroes a score of 3. With this in mind, he was demoted to Tier 4.

Generally, scores are rounded up. Robin's score of 1.8 not only would normally be rounded to 2, but his score in comparison to other Tier 1 blue Heroes is noticeably worse. However, every list evaluated included him and a majority placed him in Tier 1 and only few in Tier 2; a single list placed him in Tier 4, worsening his overall score. Robin's damage boost versus grey heroes and his ability to counter from range also make him a fantastic counter to Takumi, securing him a spot in Tier 1.
