Idle Heroes Tier List PvE & PvP...
Important! Before we jump into the list, there’s also a huge list of frequently updated unlock poromo codes for Idle Champions that you might want to check out – you will find the list of active codes here.
Let’s start with the tier list for each slot.
Best Champions for Slot 1
S Tier
Deekinis absolutely a great fit for this slot with his overall good buffing abilities but primarily his speed buff can help a lot when getting to your wall.
Role: Support
Patrons:
Mirt: No Vajra: Yes Strahd: No Zariel: No
Orkira is a great debuffer and healer and with the right synergy setup she will become a crazy strong support champion in Idle Champions.
Role: Heal & Support
Patrons:
Mirt: Yes Vajra:Yes Strahd: No Zariel: Yes
A Tier
Bruenor is a solid buffer and a great substitute for the above-ranked champions. Also the best lone gold option for this slot.
Role: Support
Patrons:
Mirt: YesVajra: Yes Strahd: No Zariel: Ok
Turielis a nice buffer and can also be used as off-tank in case you run a formation using multiple tanks. Comparable to Bruenor.
Role: Support
Patrons:
Mirt: YesVajra: Yes Strahd: YesZariel: No
B Tier
K’thrisscan be a good choice here if your Bruenor has low gear or is not at a point where you can use him properly in this slot. Still, lower availability and actually harder to gear than Bruenor so only a valid option for some players here.
Role: Support
Patrons:
Mirt: NoVajra: NoStrahd: YesZariel: No
Sisaspia can work as a debuffer but nothing too exciting overall and can’t increase click damage. Has decent healing though but overall quite squishy with the spore mechanics.
Role: Heal & Support
Patrons:
Mirt: Yes Vajra:Yes Strahd: YesZariel: Yes
F Tier
Ezmeraldais for sure your worst option in this slot and only useful against favored enemies. I really don’t see a situation where she can outshine any of the above champions in this slot.
Role: Support
Patrons:
Mirt: Yes Vajra:Yes Strahd: YesZariel: Yes
Best Champions for Slot 2
S Tier
Talinis the best champion for Slot 2, hands down. He’s absolutely the best buffer to raise damage output plus offers good debuff and enemy slowing.
Role: Support
Patrons:
Mirt: Yes Vajra: NoStrahd: YesZariel: Yes
A Tier
Donaarhas great utility and also his gold drop buff is really nice. I also like his utility with the knockback and ultimate that hits multiple targets. No good healing, though.
Role: Support & Heal
Patrons:
Mirt: Yes Vajra:Yes Strahd: NoZariel: Yes
Regisis a worst healer than Donaar (and he’s already not the best one) but a better buffer. Hard to name one of them stronger than the other.
Role: Support & Heal
Patrons:
Mirt: NoVajra:Yes Strahd: YesZariel: Ok
B Tier
Celestecan perform well but the reason I have her in the lower tier is that her heal and buff placement can be simply too restrictive to make her effective.
Role: Support & Heal
Patrons:
Mirt: YesVajra: Ok Strahd: Ok Zariel: Yes
Korth has nice shield and also his buffs are pretty nice, but Talin does all of that just better.
Role: Support & Heal
Patrons:
Mirt: Yes Vajra: Yes Strahd: No Zariel: No
Krydle has a lot less effective buffing capabilities compared to the other champions available in this slot. The only reason to pick him in Slot 2 is that he’s the only champion providing decent damage.
Role: Damage & Support
Patrons:
Mirt: Yes Vajra:Yes Strahd: YesZariel: Yes
F Tier
I have no real F Tier champion for Slot 2 since Krydle provides damage after all.
Best Champions for Slot 3
S Tier
Grommais a nice buffer and also a tank that can work okay. His debuff is not as effective anymore but the flexible placement is nice.
Role: Tank, Support & Damage
Patrons:
Mirt: NoVajra: Yes Strahd: OkZariel: Yes
A Tier
Spurtis a great buffer and a replacement if you don’t use Gromma or can’t use Gromma’s debuff.
Role: Support
Patrons:
Mirt: Yes Vajra: No Strahd: No Zariel: No
Artemis provides solid damage if you optimize him in your formation with synergies.
Role: Damage
Patrons:
Mirt: Yes Vajra:Yes Strahd: YesZariel: Yes
Omin is okay as buffer, at max – but has the gold find buff that makes him useful for this slot.
Role: Support & Damage
Patrons:
Mirt: NoVajra: YesStrahd: No Zariel: No
B Tier
Nayeli is an amazing tank in the earlier stages of Idle Champions, but her restrictive buff gets her replaced by Gromma at some point.
Role: Tank & Support
Patrons:
Mirt: YesVajra: YesStrahd: No Zariel: Yes
Mehen is overall “hmmm” with his weird requirement for specific other core champions. Just compared with the other champions not that viable.
Role: Support & Damage
Patrons:
Mirt: Yes Vajra:Yes Strahd: YesZariel: Yes
F Tier
Binwin is not good. Artemis is better in every case and Gromma as well. Even the theoretic niche use against based enemies is just to viable enough.
Role: Damage
Patrons:
Mirt: YesVajra: YesStrahd: No Zariel: Yes
Best Champions for Slot 4
S Tier
Sentryis a useful buffer and also alright as tank but her speed-up ability make her really versatile and useful in most formations.
Role: Tank & Support
Patrons:
Mirt: YesVajra: YesStrahd: No Zariel: Yes
Baelothhas this crazy revive mechanics but needs to take the time for that. But finds a lot of utility with that.
Role: Support
Patrons:
Mirt: YesVajra: Yes Strahd: YesZariel: Yes
A Tier
Jarlaxleis one of the best champions to find gold, period. Also deals good damage in earlier stages of Idle Champions and is a nice pick for this slot.
Role: Gold & Damage
Patrons: Mirt: Yes Vajra: NoStrahd: YesZariel: Yes
B Tier
Stokiis the worst buffer in this slot but her explosions used to double debuffs make her usable. Her gold finding requires kills to really work.
Role: Gold & Support
Patrons:
Mirt: NoVajra: YesStrahd: Yes Zariel: No
Paultinis a good buffer. Can compete with Baeloth but hasn’t the revives.
Role: Gold & Support
Patrons:
Mirt: NoVajra: YesStrahd: Yes Zariel: Yes
Jaheira is useful for farming her favored enemies but overall not really viable.
Role: Damage & Support

Role: Support & Damage
Patrons:
Mirt: No Vajra: No Strahd: YesZariel: No
