Heroes of History tier list - ranking leaders in this historic game
When you're trying to build a good team to take on enemies, you first need to know who the best heroes are. Therefore, we have ranked the historic leaders on the Heroes of History tier list that will help you make the best decision about choosing the right leader.
I have played Heroes of History quite a bit (and thoroughly enjoyed it), but when it came down to which heroes I should go for, things got a little tough. There are many heroes that apparently could be good for this or that, so picking just a handful of them is not easy.
Depending on what you currently have, you have to deploy heroes that are going to help your team's needs, even if they are not in the S tier. That's why I have divided the Heroes of History tier list based on their attributes, so you can always decide what you need and assemble a team with good synergy.
Complete Heroes of History tier list
Below you will find all the heroes ranked based on their power, and even though the top tier is mainly comprised of 5-star heroes (since they are all incredibly good), you can use pretty much any of the A-tier and even B-tier heroes depending on who you have.I would recommend avoiding investing too much in the C-tier heroes, since they are a little lacking (in damage, defences or support).

1
Vlad Dracula
Vlad Dracula is a Champion and Infantry hero. He has the Vampiric Essence ability, which essentially summons bats to bleed enemies and leech their lives. For each instance of damage he does to enemies, he will regen part of that damage.
As the name suggests, he is a vampire - he is ranged, has good damage, and the summons make for great additional units on the battlefield to destroy opponents. Even though his Awaken stats are all over the place (ATK, HP, DEF and Crit Chance), they do give him balanced stats.
2
Ragnar Lodbrok
Ragnar Lodbrok is a Commander and Heavy Infantry hero. He is super tanky, and while using his Lion of the North ability, he will become even tankier. With his skill, he can teleport to the furthest enemy (which makes him a great pair for Lagertha), taunting them and the enemies around. Upon using his skill, he will also gain a massive shield.
Ragnar is the ultimate tank in Heores of History, and even though obtaining him is not that easy (since he is a 5-star), getting him to Awaken V is going to make a huge difference. His basic stats are just amazing, and his scaling is also outstanding.
3
Lagertha
Lagertha is a Champion and Infantry hero. She has an incredibly good skill, Thunderstrike, which gives her a massive buff while also allowing her to deal insane damage. With this ability, Lagertha will attack the strongest enemy, while also buffing her own attack speed.
Personally, Lagertha is one of my favourite heroes in Heroes of History since her kit allows her to be pretty tanky while excelling in the damage department at the same time. At Awaken V she will become unstoppable, having received additional ATK% at Awaken I and III, for a total of 47.5% increased ATK and a whopping 130% Crit DMG. That's just insane if you can upgrade her.
4
Robin Hood
Robin Hood is a Champion and Ranged hero. His ability primarily targets the furthest enemy, dealing a truckload of damage. He is a single-target character, but his ability can obliterate that specific target he focuses on. He works exceptionally well against bosses.
With Robin Hood, you might want some additional support that reduces the enemy DEF, since Robin Hood's Sherwood's Vengeance ability will also inflict a burn, dealing additional damage over time. If you can have a good tank to hold the front line until his burn takes effect, that's something you should consider.
5
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is a Genius and Siege hero. With his Everything is Relative ability, he can summon a black hole that moves around the battlefield, which continuously deals damage to enemies. He is one of the best Siege heroes you could possibly summon and that's how he's earned a spot at the top of the Heroes of History tier list.
While the enemies are being attacked by the black hole, their attack speed is also depleted by a lot, which makes them almost unable to cast their normal attacks. He is an absolute beast in terms of heroes, and once you get him to Awaken IV, his ATK will greatly increase. At Awaken V, he will cast the ability much more often, but that is not easy to achieve.
