I’ve been dominating the Ascension Realm in Mythic Heroes for months now, and let me tell you – choosing the right heroes makes ALL the difference between crushing your enemies and watching your team crumble. With over 70 gods and legends from different mythologies now available in March 2026, knowing which heroes deserve your precious resources has never been more critical.

Today, I’m sharing my comprehensive Mythic Heroes tier list that ranks every SSR and UR hero based on their actual performance across Campaign, PvP Arena, Boss Raids, and faction battles. Whether you’re a new summoner trying to build your first competitive team or a veteran looking to optimize your roster, this guide will save you countless hours of trial and error.

What Makes a Hero Truly Powerful in Mythic Heroes?

Before we dive into the rankings, you need to understand what separates god-tier legends from mediocre heroes in this idle RPG masterpiece.

Criteria	Why It Matters	Impact Level
Versatility	Performs well across multiple game modes	High
Team Synergy	Buffs allies and creates powerful combos	Critical
Scaling	Remains effective from early to late game	High
Role Clarity	Excels in specific function (DPS/Tank/Support)	Medium
Faction Bonuses	Maximizes Vigor and Tactical Advantage	Medium-High

The most powerful heroes in Mythic Heroes aren’t just about raw stats – they combine exceptional abilities with the capacity to enhance team performance through synergies and faction mechanics. I’ve learned this lesson the hard way after investing heavily in heroes that looked impressive on paper but failed miserably in actual combat.

Mythic Heroes Tier List March 2026 – Complete Rankings

S+ Tier: The Absolute Best (Meta-Defining Legends)

These are the cream of the crop, my friends. If you manage to summon any S+ tier hero, DROP EVERYTHING and invest in them immediately. These heroes dominate the current meta and can single-handedly carry teams through the toughest content.

Freyr – This God of Fertility is absolutely BROKEN right now. His ability to boost ally attack speed while dealing massive AOE damage makes him invaluable in both PvE and PvP modes.

Lucifer – As one of the best damage dealers in the game, Lucifer’s skills allow him to restore Energy and unleash devastating attacks upon opponents. His self-sustaining kit means he keeps going when other DPS heroes run out of gas.

Iset – Probably one of the best supports since she can revive allies and heal them while buffing their Attack, making her essential for any serious team composition. I literally use her in EVERY game mode.

Ninhursag – A powerhouse support with incredible utility that keeps your team alive while amplifying their damage output.

Amaterasu – Another powerful damage dealer that relies mainly upon magic damage but can also debuff opponents’ Accuracy and reflect incoming damage.

Nuwa – Her unique crowd control and summoning mechanics provide unparalleled battlefield control.

Prometheus – Fire-based attacker who excels at sustained damage over time with incredible scaling into late game.

Bastet – Recently added and immediately shot to the top tier with her game-changing abilities.

S Tier: Elite Powerhouses (Top-Tier Performers)

One step below godhood but still absolutely dominant. These heroes pack impressive abilities and excel across various game modes.

Sun Wukong – The Monkey King lives up to his legend with incredible versatility and damage output.

Marduk – A powerful hero that shines against low-HP enemies, gaining Energy once an enemy is killed to cast his skill again in quick succession.

Typhon – Excels at battlefield control with devastating debuffs that cripple enemy strategies.

Ymir – The Primordial Giant provides both tankiness and surprising damage potential.

Lilith – A character that relies upon chance, but when all cards align she becomes extremely scary with massive AoE damage potential.

Ares – God of War bringing reliable physical damage and team buffs.

Apollo – Ranged damage dealer with excellent control through stuns and debuffs.

Nephthys – Top-tier healer with powerful crowd control and minion summoning.

Persephone – Versatile damage dealer with the unique ability to resurrect fallen allies.

Izanami – High area damage with healing reduction that counters tank-heavy compositions.

Hela – Solid single-target damage combined with stat-debuffing capabilities.

Idun – Support-focused character providing essential healing and attack boosts.

Oda Nobunaga – Strong AOE damage dealer perfect for disrupting enemy formations.

Oberon – Excels at battlefield control and enemy disruption with respectable damage.

Hattori Hanzo – Assassin-type hero with burst potential and tactical advantages.

Freyja – Great for disabling enemies from using their skills, which is super useful in PvP.

Murasaki Shikibu – High burst damage with enemy silencing capabilities.

Aphrodite – Powerful healer who can charm enemies to fight for your team.

Kinich Ahau – Eye of the Sun providing consistent damage and utility.

A+ Tier: Strong Reliable Options (Solid Core Team Members)

These heroes are fantastic additions to any team. They work exceptionally well with proper investment and team composition.

Zeus – King of the Gods still packs a punch with strong area damage and crowd control.

Athena – Tanky frontline character who can taunt enemies and absorb massive damage.

Susanoo – High damage dealer capable of reducing enemy defense and attack speed.

Artemis – Sustained ranged damage perfect for picking off enemies from safety.

Thor – High AOE potential with debuffs and stuns when properly positioned.

Brynhild – Valkyrie providing solid tanking with team support capabilities.

Dangun – Versatile support with healing, buffs, and enemy debuffs.

Western Queen – Hybrid damage dealer excelling at stripping shields from enemies.

Loki – Trickster god with confusion and disruption capabilities.

Joan of Arc – All-around character with healing, crowd control, and ally buffs.

Cleopatra – Strong magic damage dealer requiring frontline protection.

Titania – Summoner-type with excellent battlefield control.

Cassandra – Useful utility and damage in specific team compositions.

Tamamo no Mae – Provides consistent support with unique fox-spirit mechanics.

Gaia – Earth goddess offering durability and environmental control.

Flora – Nature-based support with healing and protective capabilities.

Poseidon – God of the Sea bringing AOE damage and control.

Morrigan – Crow goddess with death-focused abilities.

Nagakanya – Snake deity providing poison damage and control.

A Tier: Well-Rounded Warriors (Situationally Strong)

These heroes are well-rounded with solid stats and abilities that hold their own in various situations. They require strategic planning to maximize potential.

B Tier: Niche Specialists (Limited Use Cases)

These heroes are potent specialists with unique skill sets that contribute in specific roles or situations.

C Tier: Below Average (Not Recommended for Investment)

These heroes are situational at best and struggle to compete in the current meta. Only invest if you absolutely love the character.

Best Heroes by Game Progression Stage

Your team needs change dramatically as you progress through Mythic Heroes. Here’s what you should prioritize at each stage:

Early Game Heroes (Chapters 1-15)

These heroes offer strong, reliable performance to help clear early chapters:

Iset – Get her from rookie rewards and never bench her
Idun – Another rookie reward that stays relevant forever
Western Queen – Strong early damage dealer
Athena – Solid tank for beginners
Izanami – Excellent AOE damage from the start
Cassandra – Useful utility hero
Cleopatra – Magic damage option

Mid Game Heroes (Chapters 16-30)

As content gets tougher, these heroes provide the utility and damage needed to push through mid-game:

Iset – Still your MVP
Hela – Becomes increasingly valuable
Idun – Maintains relevance
Athena – Continues tanking effectively
Tamamo No Mae – Support becomes critical
Izanami – AOE still shines
Cassandra – Utility remains useful

Late Game Heroes (Chapter 31+)

Late-game viability revolves around high-impact ultimates and survivability:

Iset – The eternal queen
Hela – Top-tier late game
Lilith – RNG can win games
Anubis – Scales incredibly well
Nagakanya – Poison mechanics shine
Susanoo – Debuffs become crucial
Hercules – Tankiness matters more
Flora – Sustain wins wars
Medusa – Petrify can turn tides
Gaia – Earth defense holds strong
Persephone – Resurrection clutch plays
Joan of Arc – All-around excellence

PvP Arena Tier List – Dominate the Competition

The Arena and Coliseum require different strategies focused on burst damage, crowd control, and disruptive abilities. Based on extensive Arena climbing experience:

Top PvP Heroes:

Iset – Healing and revives win mirror matches
Hela – Stat reduction destroys opponents
Anubis – Massive burst damage
Artemis – Picks off squishy targets
Ganjiang & Moye – Twin swords devastate
Faust – Control mechanics dominate
Amaterasu – Magic burst potential
Lilith – High-roll potential wins games
Loki – Disruption frustrates enemies
Lucifer – Sustained damage pressure
Zeus – AOE can wipe teams

Understanding Faction Mechanics and Tactical Advantage

A Hero receives an Attack bonus of 25% while attacking an enemy Hero in a tactically vulnerable Faction. This is HUGE and often overlooked by new players.

Faction Vigor Bonuses:

Majority Vigor (same faction):

×2 heroes: +4% ATK and DEF
×3 heroes: +8% ATK and DEF
×4 heroes: +12% ATK and DEF
×5 heroes: +16% ATK and DEF

Minority Vigor (second faction):

×2 heroes: +8% Final Damage
×3 heroes: +12% Final Damage
×4 heroes: +16% Final Damage
×5 heroes: +20% Final Damage

UR Heroes belong to 2 Factions, allowing Tactical Advantages to apply to both, and the extra damage effects can stack. This makes UR heroes inherently more flexible in team building.

How to Build the Perfect Mythic Heroes Team?

After testing hundreds of team compositions, I’ve learned that raw hero power means NOTHING without proper synergy. Here’s my proven framework:

The Core Team Formula:

Primary DPS (S+ or S tier damage dealer)
Support/Healer (Iset, Idun, Freyja, or Nephthys)
Tank/Frontline (Athena, Marduk, Thor, or Brynhild)
Secondary DPS/Flex (Situational damage or utility)
Control/Debuffer (Typhon, Oberon, or Hela)

Synergy Checklist:

✓ Include 2-3 heroes from same faction for Vigor bonus ✓ Balance physical and magical damage ✓ Ensure survivability with healing OR shielding ✓ Add crowd control for difficult encounters ✓ Consider elemental advantages ✓ Plan skill timing for combo potential

Common Team Building Mistakes (Learn from My Failures)

Mistake #1: Focusing only on S+ tier heroes without synergy

Reality: A well-synergized A-tier team beats random S-tier heroes

Mistake #2: Ignoring faction bonuses

Reality: Vigor bonuses provide massive stat increases that can swing battles

Mistake #3: Over-investing in too many heroes early

Reality: Focus resources on your core 5-10 heroes first

Mistake #4: Neglecting support heroes

Reality: Healing and buffs enable your DPS to actually survive long enough to deal damage

Mistake #5: Not adjusting team for different content

Reality: Campaign needs sustain, PvP needs burst, bosses need specific counters

Resource Investment Priority Guide

Here’s exactly how I recommend spending your limited resources:

Priority 1 (Invest Immediately):

Any S+ tier hero you summon
Iset and Idun (rookie rewards)
Your chosen primary DPS

Priority 2 (Invest After Core):

Key S-tier heroes that synergize with your core
Essential A+ tier supports
Faction-specific heroes for Vigor bonuses

Priority 3 (Situational Investment):

Heroes for specific content (certain bosses, events)
PvP specialists if you’re competitive
Favorite characters (game should be fun!)

Don’t Invest:

Multiple heroes from C and lower B tiers
Heroes that duplicate roles without improving performance
SR heroes beyond early game (they’re fodder material)

How to Maximize Your Reroll Strategy?

If you’re starting fresh or considering rerolling, aim for these combinations:

God-Tier Reroll Results:

Lucifer + Iset
Freyr + any S+ support
Amaterasu + Prometheus
Two S+ tier heroes from different factions

Great Reroll Results:

Any single S+ tier hero
Two S-tier heroes with synergy
Marduk + Lilith combination

Aim for some of the best SSR characters from the beginner gacha, since getting a UR is pretty unlikely. The free 10x summon at the start gives you a chance to secure a strong foundation.

Advanced Strategies for Veteran Players

Team Rotation Strategy

Don’t build just ONE team. I maintain:

Campaign Push Team – Maximum sustain and AOE
PvP Arena Team – Burst damage and control
Boss Raid Team – Single-target DPS and survivability
Faction Tower Teams – Faction-specific compositions

Equipment Optimization

Pay attention to your heroes’ stats and utilize equipment sets to amplify those attributes even further. The right gear can elevate an A-tier hero to S-tier performance.

Positioning Matters

Frontline vs. backline placement dramatically affects:

Who takes initial damage
Which enemies your heroes target
Skill proc timing and synergy
Survival of squishy DPS heroes

Latest Meta Shifts in March 2026

The Mythic Heroes meta continues evolving with each update:

Rising Stars:

Bastet has entered S+ tier with recent buffs
Typhon seeing increased PvP usage
Western Queen becoming more popular for shield-breaking

Falling Stars:

Some older UR heroes struggle without equipment investment
Pure tank compositions losing effectiveness to burst meta
Single-role specialists getting outclassed by versatile heroes

Frequently Asked Questions

How often is the Mythic Heroes tier list updated?

Tier lists are updated with every major game patch or hero balance change to reflect the current meta. I personally update this guide monthly and immediately after significant updates.

Should I still build my favorite hero if they’re low-tier?

Yes, if you enjoy their playstyle! A well-invested C-Tier hero in a team that complements them can often outperform a poorly built S-Tier hero. Play what makes you happy, but understand the investment cost will be higher.

What’s more important: tier list ranking or team synergy?

Team synergy is often more important. A team of A-Tier heroes with abilities that work well together will almost always beat a random team of S-Tier heroes with no synergy. This is the #1 lesson I wish someone had taught me earlier.

Are SSR heroes always better than SR heroes?

Generally, yes. SSR heroes have higher base stats and more powerful abilities, making them the long-term goal for your main team. However, some SR heroes can be useful in early game before you build your SSR roster.

How do I get more heroes in Mythic Heroes?

The primary method is through Gacha summoning using Diamonds or Summon Tickets. You can also collect hero fragments from events, shops, achievements, and milestones to unlock specific characters.

Can low-tier heroes become viable with heavy investment?

Skills, equipment, and synergies with other heroes can significantly improve lower-tier characters’ effectiveness. However, the resource investment usually isn’t worth it unless you’re a whale or truly love that character.

What makes Iset so universally powerful?

Iset can revive allies and heal them while also buffing their Attack, making her invaluable in literally every game mode. She’s one of the few heroes that remains meta-relevant from early game through end-game content.

Should I focus on leveling all my top-tier characters simultaneously?

Having a balanced focus is recommended – keep your team well-rounded by investing resources in different types of characters to improve overall effectiveness. However, prioritize your main DPS and support heroes first.

How do elemental affinities affect team building?

Characters have elemental affinities which grant them increased effectiveness and resistance against opposing elements. Keep these advantages in mind when building teams for specific content.

Do newer heroes automatically rank higher?

No. Newer heroes are not guaranteed to be highly ranked – while some prove powerful additions, others might have lower impact or less versatility than existing characters. Each hero must prove themselves in the meta.

Final Thoughts

After spending countless hours testing team compositions, analyzing meta shifts, and climbing through both Campaign and Arena ranks, I can confidently say that success in Mythic Heroes comes down to three core principles:

Smart Resource Investment – Focus your limited upgrade materials on proven heroes
Team Synergy Over Individual Power – Five coordinated heroes beat five powerful soloists
Adaptability – Different content requires different approaches

This Mythic Heroes tier list for March 2026 provides the roadmap, but YOUR creativity in team building will determine your success. Don’t be afraid to experiment with combinations that others haven’t tried – some of my best teams came from “unconventional” synergies that the community initially dismissed.
