Hero Meta

Current Hero Snapshot

Early launch meta favors stable party structure: a frontline anchor, a sustain layer, and a damage profile that matches your current wall.

Open Heroes

Knight

S Tier

Tanky frontline anchor for safe beginner and boss-push teams.

Priest

S Tier

Free DLC healer and buffer that keeps long pushes alive.

Hunter

S Tier

Paid DLC ranged trapper with strong controlled boss pressure.

Sorcerer

A Tier

Free AoE magic damage for faster wave clear.

Slayer

A Tier

Paid DLC melee burst and lifesteal option.

Ranger

B Tier

Free ranged starter, useful but more situational in early meta.

Builds

Best Task Bar Hero Builds

Match the build to the job: safer first-hour pushing, faster farming, boss walls, or an advanced Ranger solo path that needs gear support.

Open Builds

Beginner safe build

Knight + Priest + Ranger

Use this when the first goal is stable stage pushing. Knight absorbs pressure, Priest adds sustain, and Ranger gives safe backline damage.

Fast farming build

Priest + Ranger + Sorcerer

Use this on stages you already clear safely. Ranger and Sorcerer speed up waves while Priest reduces idle-run failures.

Boss-push build

Knight + Hunter + Priest

Use this when a boss or hard wave checks your party. Knight and Priest protect the run while Hunter adds controlled damage.

Advanced Ranger solo

Ranger + gear layers

Treat solo Ranger as a later project that needs attack speed, movement speed, first-hit damage, and enough sustain.
