Zhang Fei

Zhang Fei, the best hero in Mini Heroes: Summoners War

Zhang Fei is by far the best hero in Mini Heroes: Summoners War. He can deal huge amounts of damage. Thanks to his skills, he is also good at crowd control, and can effectively take down multiple enemies at once. He is an extremely powerful warrior that should be present in every team.

  • Tier List Rank: S
  • Camp: Shu
  • Class: Warrior
  • Role: Lancer

Emperor Xian

Emperor Xian, the best tank hero in Mini Heroes: Summoners War

Emperor Xian is the best tank hero you can possibly have in Mini Heroes: Summoners War. Although he is not as strong with damage output as other heroes, he does have a great defensive ability that makes him an invaluable asset to any team.

Emperor Xian can absorb massive damage for his team and help them survive longer in battle. He is also capable of crowd control, and should always be placed in the front row.

  • Tier List Rank: S
  • Camp: Neutral
  • Class: Tank
  • Role: Shield

Hua Tuo

Hua Tuo, the best healer hero in Mini Heroes: Summoners War

If you need the most effective healer for your team, look no further than Hua Tuo. He is capable of healing all allies and randomly reviving one defeated ally. More importantly, the hero with the highest Strength stat gains 1 level of Violent Rage, which significantly increases their attack power for 2 rounds. He is a must-have hero for every team.

  • Tier List Rank: S
  • Camp: Neutral
  • Class: Mage
  • Role: Archer

Liu Bei

Liu Bei hero Mini Heroes: Summoners War

Liu Bei is a combination of tank and healer. He has decent defensive capabilities but also can heal his allies with his second and third skills, while also increasing the critical hit rate of his allies.

While his tanking and healing abilities are great, his damage output is not that impressive. However, he can be a great addition to your team in the right situation, especially if you have not yet recruited a good healer.

  • Tier List Rank: S
  • Camp: Shu
  • Class: Tank
  • Role: Shield

Sima Yi

Sima Yi hero in Mini Heroes: Summoners War

Sima Yi is one of the greatest ranged damage dealers in the game. On top of that, he also has tanking abilities, which are not the most effective but still useful. His skills are designed to maximize damage output and support his team in battle.

Additionally, he can also weaken his targets with his first skill which increases their received magic damage by 50% for two rounds.

  • Tier List Rank: S
  • Camp: Wei
  • Class: Mage
  • Role: Magic

A Tier Heroes (Good)

  • Xun Yu (Mage, Archer)
  • Zuo Ci (Mage, Magic)
  • Dian Wei (Warrior, Cavalry)
  • Zhang Chunhua (Warrior, Lancer)
  • Xiao Qiao (Mage, Archer)

These are powerful heroes that can be used to overcome most opponents in the game. Although they are not as strong as the ones from the previous tier, they still have good stats and skills.

Huang Zhong

Huang Zhong hero

Huang Zhong is also a great damage dealer, almost as powerful as Zhang Fei. In addition, he can provide powerful buffs for him and his team, which increase damage output and critical hit rate. Thanks to his unique skillset, he can easily break enemy frontline and support his allies in battle.

  • Tier List Rank: A
  • Camp: Shu
  • Class: Warrior
  • Role: Archer

Sun Jian

Sun Jian hero

While Sun Jian does not excel in any particular area, he is a good all-around hero. He has good attack power and can crowd-control enemies with his skills. He also has decent defensive capabilities, allowing him to take a few heavy hits for his allies.

  • Tier List Rank: A
  • Camp: Wu
  • Class: Tank
  • Role: Shield

Pang Tong

Pang Tong hero

Pang Tong is yet another good healer for your team. However, he is not as powerful or as reliable as Hua Tuo, because the majority of his skills activate only for the allies in critical HP conditions. Still, his skill set is filled with useful healing and buffing abilities that can help your team in difficult battles.

  • Tier List Rank: A
  • Camp: Shu
  • Class: Mage
  • Role: Magic

Cao Cao

Cao Cao hero

In spite of having the name of a legendary strategist, Cao Cao brings nothing special to the table. He has good attack power but average healing abilities. His best trait is that he can be devastating against archer heroes, but he is weak against lancers. Nevertheless, Cao Cao is a decent addition to any team.

  • Tier List Rank: A
  • Camp: Wei
  • Class: Warrior
  • Role: Cavalry

Zhang Liao

Zhang Liao hero

Zhang Liao offers a good mix of damage output and crowd control. His skills are designed to take out multiple opponents quickly, while also casting negative effects on them such as stunning and reducing their defense. Can be a good alternative for Zhang Fei in some situations. He also offers some tanking abilities, but they are not very effective.
