Progress in RoP is fairly slow, and getting dupes and maxing out heroes, especially the Advent and Ascension ones, will take a long time. So, investing in only the best heroes is that much more important. To learn which heroes are the best and why, here is our ultimate Realms of Pixel Tech & Magic tier list!
| Tier | Heroes |
|---|---|
| S+ |             |
| S |             |
| A |     |
| B |     |
| C |      |

In the Realms of Pixel Tech & Magic tier list above, we ranked all heroes based on their end-game performance in all game modes. Generally, single-target and DoT heroes will perform better for bosses and other low enemy-count formats.
On the other hand, AoE DPSs and any support that can keep your team alive, most notably Lunar Sprite, will be better for PvP and any PvE mode with multiple enemies. So, it's best to aim to have a mix of both, depending on the mode you're clearing. For notes on each hero's ranking, check out the tables below.
