S-Tier Heroes

These Heroes are the best of the best, being the strongest in their role. They are able to contribute the most to your team, and should be upgraded first, if you have them.

3-Star

Fighter

Very high AoE and auto attack damage thanks to chain lightning, and one of the highest damage attacks through his Ultimate.

2-Star

Defender

Provides strong shields and damage mitigation to herself, and can also taunt enemies to draw attacks away from teammates.

Decent damage mitigation and good damage, and his Cyttorak’s Curse skill refills Ultimate Energy, allowing him to deal even more damage.

Thor in Marvel Mystic Mayhem.

Controller

Very strong healing output, and can buff and debuff as well.

Extremely versatile. Emma can heal, buff, debuff, and deal damage.

Hulk in Marvel Mystic Mayhem.

Striker

High AoE damage, and can ignore a portion of the enemy’s DEF with Blaster Array.

High single-target and AoE damage through critical hits.

Storm in Marvel Mystic Mayhem

A-Tier Heroes

Heroes in the A-Tier are strong overall and can perform well in a variety of content, but aren’t quite as strong as those in S-Tier.

Decent all-around Defender, capable of mitigating damage and regenerating health, with a bit of damage on the side.

Falcon in Marvel Mystic Mayhem.

Good healing, second only to Doctor Strange, making him a good F2P alternative.

Decent damage and decent defense, and he has a taunt on his Ultimate.

Decent single-target and AoE damage, beginner-friendly.

Strong single-target damage, good for bosses or other high-health enemies.

B-Tier Heroes

These Heroes are decent, but either require a bit more investment to get working, or aren’t as strong as alternatives.

Can heal, buff, and deal damage, but doesn’t really excel in any category.

Good mobility, but lacks strong damage.

Decent damage with Ronin’s Shadow, but relies on team composition.

Good debuffs but lacks direct damage. With the right team composition, she becomes a lot stronger.

Good debuffs, but lacks healing for a Controller. Does well with the right team composition, though.

Overall good single-target damage, but doesn’t really stand out.

Decent damage for a Defender, at the cost of less damage mitigation than others like Hulk, Armor, and Juggernaut.

Decent Hero, but does best running other summoner-focused Heroes like Thread and Man-Thing.

C-Tier Heroes

These Heroes are limited in the types of content they do well in, and are best for the early game or in niche situations.

Summoner gameplay, meaning his Threadlings can either be very useful or not do much.

Decent damage and buffs, but lacks healing, especially for a Controller.

Low damage and debuffs, but gets stronger with duplicates.

Summoner-focused Hero, does best with Moon Girl and Thread, but lackluster on his own.
