Mythic Heroes is a free mobile idle RPG with four classes — physical DPS, magical DPS, support, and tank — and a roster of characters drawn from global mythologies. If you are building a party from scratch, you need to know who to chase and who to ignore, because the gacha pool is deep and the gear grind is real.
We have ranked every character from S to D based on current meta, and we will keep this list updated as new characters drop and balance patches land.
Key facts
- The S tier is dominated by characters like Persephone, Oberon, and Oda Nobunaga.
- A tier covers strong generalists who fill specific party roles.
- B tier characters are useful early but fall off later.
- C tier characters have niche uses in early game or specific modes.
- D tier characters should be skipped unless you have no other option.
How tiers are defined
S tier: top of the current meta — build any you pull.
A tier: strong characters that fill gaps, especially before you have enough S-tier options.
B tier: useful early but worth replacing as you progress.
C tier: niche picks for early-game or specific modes — skip in late game.
D tier: skip unless there is literally no alternative.
Our analysis
The gacha model creates two competing pressures. You pull a wide variety of characters, but you invest resources in only a few. That means tier rankings do not just tell you who is strong — they tell you where to put your limited upgrade materials, artifact cores, and experience books.
Who wins:** Players who pull S-tier characters early can build a foundation that lasts months. Persephone and Oberon stay relevant even after nerfs because their kits offer both damage and utility — they do not become obsolete when the meta shifts slightly.
Who loses:** Players who dump resources into B or C tier characters thinking they are "good enough" will eventually need to rebuild from scratch. The opportunity cost is real — those materials could have accelerated an S-tier character's gear track.
The trade-off:** Chasing S-tier characters through rerolling or heavy spending is not always optimal. An A-tier team with full gear tracks will clear most early and mid-game content. The resource cost of infinite rerolling usually outweighs the benefit unless you are committed to competitive play.
A worked example
Say you started Mythic Heroes yesterday and pulled Hera, Athena, and Apollo. None are S tier, but Athena and Apollo are both A tier — they cover support and physical DPS respectively. Invest in both, complete their gear tracks, and use Hera as filler until your next banner. That is a viable party for the early campaign.
The mistake is rerolling endlessly to chase an S-tier starter. An A-tier team with full investment will outperform an S-tier team you cannot fully gear.

What to watch next
Bookmark this page and recheck after every banner. New characters drop regularly, and balance changes follow. If a character you invested in drops a tier, do not panic — most S-tier characters stay viable for months even after nerfs because their kits have depth. The meta shifts, but foundational strength endures.
Key takeaways
- Chase S-tier characters first — Persephone and Oberon are top picks.
- A-tier characters are enough to clear early and mid-game content.
- Avoid investing in D-tier characters unless you have no alternative.
- Reroll strategically, but do not reroll endlessly — the cost usually outweighs the benefit.
