Arena of Valor Tier List

Arena of Valor is a deep team strategy game coated with the MOBA paint. Winning is the result of several factors such as team synergy and matchups against opposing teams.

At the center of all this is the game’s expansive and robust cast of characters (called heroes). Each has a unique set of tools that impacts the match in its own way.

But who are the heroes that heavily contribute to wins in Arena of Valor? To help answer this, we created a list that ranks each hero in the game from best to worst. You can use this as a guide to know which ones to use and invest in.

Now with that out of the way, let’s dive right into it.
