So, this is all I have in this Dark War Survival best hero tier list guide. S-Grade heroes are for the late game – they have better stats. A-grade heroes can be helpful, but you will need S-grade heroes to progress in the late game, as their stats are inferior to S-grade heroes. B-grade heroes must be avoided – they are only good in the initial stages. Also, use the heroes according to their strengths. Some are good in combat, while some are good in progression.
Additionally, pay attention to the heroes’ faction. Fighters counter Riders but are countered by Shooters. Riders counter Shooters but are countered by Fighters. Shooters counter Fighters but are countered by Riders.
- If the opponent has Riders, use Fighters. Avoid Shooters.
- If the opponent has Shooters, use Riders. Avoid Fighters.
- If the opponent has Fighters, use Shooters. Avoid Riders.
