Call of Dragons Hero Tier List for Competitive Spenders

‍

S+ Heroes (meta-defining, must-invest)

‍

Hosk is the strongest hero in Call of Dragons. His counterattack damage, legion capacity bonus, and universal damage scaling make him viable with any troop type and any pairing. He works as a primary commander or deputy, in open field or garrison, in Season 1 or Season 3.

‍

He's exclusively available through purchased bundles. If you're spending at whale levels, Hosk is your first acquisition target. No other hero at equivalent investment produces as much total value across all game modes.

‍

Liliya is the best mage hero in the game and the most accessible P2W hero (available through VIP Shop packs). Her Flames of Vengeance delivers devastating AoE magic damage, and she's useful at 5-1-1-1 skill configuration — meaning even partial investment produces more power than most fully-maxed Epic heroes. For whales running mage compositions, Liliya is mandatory. She pairs exceptionally with Waldyr for maximum magic damage output.

‍

The infantry meta shifted dramatically with Goresh and Skogul. They force enemies to attack them and melt attackers with counterattack mechanics, turning infantry from pure meatshields into a punishing frontline composition. This pair is mandatory for endgame infantry marches. Together they represent one of the strongest pairings in the game and remain relevant through Season 3+.

‍

Call of Dragons S Tier Heroes (core investment heroes)

‍

Bakshi is a powerful cavalry commander with strong nuking skills and exceptional survivability. At max investment, his 30% HP bonus is massive for a cavalry hero. He also has peacekeeping utility for early-season content and new server starts. If cavalry is your troop type, Bakshi is core.

‍

Theia excels with flying unit compositions and provides exceptional survivability. At expertise, she places shields on nearby allied units. For players investing in flying compositions, Theia is the anchor hero. Strong long-term value.

‍

Kinnara's physical damage output and DEF Break mechanics make her a strong carry for F2P and spender rosters alike. Her awakened passive (20% chance to reduce target DEF by 20% for 3s) creates damage windows that your entire composition benefits from. Good long-term investment for players who want physical DPS without requiring P2W acquisition.

‍

Madeline offers damage resistance, shielding, and squad-wide protection. She's the primary tank for competitive compositions and remains relevant as a frontline anchor through multiple seasons. She is a strong investment for any troop composition that needs survivability.

‍

Call of Dragons A Tier Heroes (strong, contextual investment)

‍

Gwanwyn is the best Epic-rarity hero in Call of Dragons. Her damage output is exceptional for an Epic, she levels quickly as a peacekeeping commander, and she's maxable through free hero tokens from daily activities. Every player (whale or F2P) should max Gwanwyn early. She pairs well with Hosk and remains a strong deputy through later seasons when your legendary roster is deeper.

‍

Waldyr is the first mage hero to prioritize, especially for F2P and early-season play. His AoE damage, stat boosts, and enhanced sustainability make him a cornerstone of mage compositions. Max him as soon as possible as he'll carry your magic damage through early and mid-game content. Pairs exceptionally with Liliya for maximum AoE devastation.

‍

Emrys delivers strong physical damage with her Shattering Blows skill and has an awakened passive that generates Rage on being attacked. Useful for aggressive physical compositions. Good value for players building around physical troop types.

‍

Nika's Shimmerstrike reduces enemy HP by 10% for 3 seconds, creating damage windows for paired carries. Useful as a deputy in physical compositions. Solid but not transformative — invest after S and S+ tier heroes are established.

‍

Agnar is the latest cavalry addition with anti-marksman mechanics and a control-heavy active skill. Paired with Freya (who brings garrison + cavalry talent synergy and extra defense), this combination could elevate cavalry into the meta through Season 2 and beyond. For cavalry-focused whales, this is a forward-looking investment — strongest at end of Season 2 with Forondil pairing potential.

‍

Call of Dragons B Tier Heroes (situational or early play only)

‍

• ‍Alistair: Decent cavalry hero for early game, but outclassed by Bakshi and later cavalry releases. Use only if no better cavalry option is available.

• Eliana: Decent for early game but falls off hard. Not worth sustained investment.

• ‍Velyn: Magic damage with Freeze utility. Useful in specific compositions but not a primary investment target for whales.

‍

How to use this Call of Dragons tier list as a competitive spender?

‍

Don't invest in everything simultaneously. At $1,000+/month, the temptation is to build every S-tier hero at once. This produces a roster of half-built heroes that individually underperform fully-built options. Pick 2-3 heroes to max first, then expand.

‍

Match hero investment to your troop type. If you're running mage compositions, Liliya + Waldyr is your priority. If cavalry, Bakshi + Gwanwyn. If infantry, Goresh + Skogul. Don't split investment across troop types until your primary composition is fully built.

‍

Season-aware investment. Heroes like Agnar + Freya are forward-looking investments that peak in Season 2-3. If your server is in Season 1, focus on heroes that are strong now (Hosk, Liliya, Gwanwyn, Bakshi) before investing in future-season heroes.

‍

P2W heroes produce the highest ceiling. Hosk and Liliya are bundle/VIP Shop exclusives. For competitive spenders, acquiring them is the single highest-ROI spending decision in Call of Dragons. No amount of Epic or free legendary investment produces equivalent power.

Alliance Leader Playbook: Hero Investment Across Your Alliance

‍

• Identify which members have Hosk. Members with Hosk should lead rallies. Members without should build the strongest F2P-accessible heroes (Gwanwyn, Kinnara, Madeline) and serve as rally reinforcement.

• Coordinate troop-type specialization across your alliance. If half your members run mage and half run infantry, your rally compositions have natural diversity. If everyone runs the same troop type, you lack counter-play flexibility.

• Track hero investment levels across your roster. Members with fully-built S-tier heroes contribute more to alliance events than members spreading investment across B-tier heroes. Help members prioritize.

• Plan for seasonal hero releases. When Season 2 heroes become available, communicate which ones your alliance should prioritize collectively.

‍

Your hero investment compounds when the infrastructure behind it does too...

‍

Hero tokens, legendary medals, VIP Shop packs, and Lucky Spin gems — at $1,000+/month, the resources flowing into hero acquisition are substantial. How efficiently those resources convert into maxed heroes determines whether the same spending produces 2-3 fully-built S-tier heroes or a dozen half-built options that individually lose to any fully-invested opponent.

‍

Players who follow a clear allocation framework consistently outperform players who spend the same amount reactively, because the framework captures compounding that impulse purchasing destroys.

‍

A quick breakdown...

‍

• S+ tier: Hosk (universal, P2W bundle exclusive, best hero in the game), Liliya (best mage, VIP Shop, useful at 5-1-1-1), Goresh + Skogul (infantry meta pair, counterattack dominance, endgame mandatory).

• S tier: Bakshi (cavalry carry, 30% HP), Theia (flying units anchor), Kinnara (physical DPS with DEF Break), Madeline (primary tank, multi-season relevant).

• A tier: Gwanwyn (best Epic, max first), Waldyr (best Epic mage, pairs with Liliya), Emrys (physical Rage generation), Nika (HP reduction debuff), Agnar + Freya (Season 2+ cavalry investment).

• Pick 2-3 heroes to max first, then expand. Half-built rosters lose to fully-invested opponents every time.

• Match hero investment to troop type. Don't split across troop types until your primary composition is fully built.

• P2W heroes (Hosk, Liliya) produce the highest competitive ceiling. Acquiring them is the single highest-ROI spending decision in Call of Dragons.

‍

The hero you invest in first determines how quickly your account becomes competitively relevant. Choose based on your season stage, your troop type, and your spending level — not based on a generic tier list.
