Viking Rise Tier List With the Best Heroes in the Game (2023)

In Viking Rise, heroes are vital for your progress, and having the best ones can make a huge difference in battle. Each hero has a unique set of abilities and stats, some are best used for attacking monsters and barbarians, whereas other heroes are better suited for defending your city, gathering resources, or raiding other players. That’s why using the right heroes for the right situation is important. To help you out, here’s our Viking Rise tier list with the best heroes in the game.

Viking Rise Tier List – Best Heroes

S-Tier: Overall Best Heroes in Viking Rise

In the S-Tier we ranked the overall best heroes in Viking Rise. These heroes are strong in all aspects and can be used with any team composition, making them very versatile.

The best hero in our S-Tier and overall best Legendary hero in Viking Rise is Ragnar due to his Leader and Polymath abilities, making him great for any type of unit in your squad, as well for any type of activity. His Support ability is also useful in battles, which will improve all his capabilities and those of his allies. The second-best Legendary-tiered hero is Ivana as she has similar abilities as Ragnar but a bit less powerful hero Skills. 

Although Gregory and Lagertha have 4 talent upgrades that increase their attack power, they are a bit weaker in comparison because Ragnar and Ivana are perfect with any type of unit and situation, whether is a PvP battle or a monster rally.

A-Tier Heroes: Good damage but not the greatest

In the A-Tier, we have listed the best alternatives to S-Tier heroes. These heroes are slightly weaker than S-tier heroes but still very capable of leading a successful squad. Sigurd and Jens are the best of these heroes, and with the recommended legendary skills, they can be as strong as those from the previous tier.

B-Tier: Decent damage

The B-Tier contains heroes that have decent damage output but lack the versatility and utility of S-tier and A-tier heroes. These are good for beginners and can be used in early-game battles, but they have more of a mix of defense, support, and attack capabilities.

C-Tier: Support Heroes

The C-Tier heroes are useful in both support and damage roles, but their attack power is not as high as the other heroes from our tiers list. They can, however, be a worthy addition to your squad with the right legendary skills.

The first two heroes, Laird and Yvette are great for supporting and inflicting damage, while the other two heroes, Ivor and Cecia have the best attack capabilities among the Epic heroes in Viking Rise. However, being both Epic Rarity heroes, they are significantly weaker in comparison to the Legendary heroes and should be used only if you’re lacking strong Legendary heroes. Here are the heroes in our C-tier:
