There are over 50 different heroes to recruit in Age of Empires Mobile. Each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses, making them great at certain things. However, deciding which heroes are worth investing your resources in can be quite confusing. So, I've compiled this tier list with all the heroes in Age of Empires Mobile to help you make the right pick.
Best Heroes in Age of Empires Mobile Tier List
I've split all of the heroes in Age of Empires Mobile into one of four tiers, ranging from S-tier (being the best) to C-tier (being the worst).
| Tier | Hero |
|---|---|
| S | King Arthur, Attila the Hun, Ashoka, Justinian the Great, Diao Chan, Theodora, Frederick Barbarossa, Constantine the Great, Julius Caesar, Philip IV, Sun Tzu |
| A | Cleopatra VII, Darius the Great, King Derrick, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Rani Durgavati, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Miyamoto Musashi, Guan Yu, Harald III, Tariq, Hammurabi, Hannibal |
| B | Seojong the Great, Queen Seondeok, Bushra, Tribhuwana, Hua Mulan, Octavian, Cid, Oda Nobunaga, Axel, Joan of Arc, Josephine, Richard I, Yi Seong-Gye, Leonidas I, Yi Sun-Shin, Cui Ruyi, |
| C | Li Daoxuan, Baldassi, Kaso, Gatos, Clyde, Leo, Luki, Narses, Thanius, Yuan Xia, Gao Meng, Leon, Wu Wei, Nino |
S-Tier Heroes in Age of Empires Mobile
The heroes in the S-tier are the best picks you can get in Age of Empires Mobile. Each of them has extremely overpowered skills and are great in multiple game modes, including both PvP and PvE. If you're lucky enough to unlock or recruit any of them, then you should prioritize spending the majority of your XP books and Skill Points on these heroes.
All of these heroes are extremely versatile, and their skill sets go beyond just their target specialty and can be used interchangeably based on your requirements. For example, King Arthur excels at PvP combat, but his skills like "Glory of Knight" which increases Might, Armor, and Strategy by 40 for 6 seconds make him great as a support hero as well, ideal for PvE modes.
Here's a list of all the S-tier heroes in Age of Empire Mobile, and why they provide so much value to your civilization:
| Hero | Reason |
|---|---|
| King Arthur | The best hero for both PvP and PvE thanks to his overpowered skills. Also great at providing support to other commanders, and in rallies. |
| Attila the Hun | Arguably one of the strongest support units in Age of Empires Mobile. Essentially doubles your army's DPS while lowering the enemy's armour. Great for any combat scenario. |
| Ashoka | Similar to Attila, but provides more buff-oriented support, not just for your army but for every allied army in a fight. Extremely strong as a secondary commander. |
| Justinian the Great | The best healer in the Age of Empire Mobile. Having him in your army can save thousands of your men from dying in battles. Great especially in PvP combat with drawn-out battles. |
| Diao Chan | The best hero for farming and gathering resources. Increases the speed of all resources by almost 90% at maximum skill level. A must-have for early and late-game resource collection. |
| Theodora | An overall strong unit, great for combat, support, and can even help in gathering resources. Ideally, you should try using her as a secondary commander to provide your army with a massive stat boost. |
| Frederick Barbarossa | A defensive juggernaut that makes your army twice as hard to kill. When paired with a commander like Justinian or King Arthur, you'll have an almost unbeatable army. |
| Constantine the Great | Similar to Frederick, but his defensive skill isn't as overpowered. However, he makes up for this with his increased attack skills and resource-gathering bonuses. |
| Julius Caesar | Strongest hero for every PvE mode, thanks to his turn-based skills. He also provides a gathering speed boost, making him good for farming as well. Unfortunately, he doesn't fare well in PvP. |
| Philip IV | A support-oriented attack hero who can buff the army's stats almost every 3 seconds, making him unbeatable in long battles. |
| Sun Tzu | Extremely strong offensive hero who excels in combat (both PvP and PvE). Ideally, he can dominate any PvP encounter with a bit of support or recovery. |
A-Tier Heroes in Age of Empires Mobile
The A-tier heroes in Age of Empires Mobile mostly include every other Legendary-ranked hero that you can recruit from the Tavern. While most of these have overall strong skills, they fall off quickly when you reach higher castle levels.
You can spend resources on them when you're just starting as a beginner, but avoid spending skill points and books on them, as you should save them for any higher-tier hero that you might get your hands on in the future. You can get them from recruiting in a tavern using recruitment tokens, which are hard to come by.
While these heroes don't provide as much versatility as S-tier ones, regardless, they are great at their specialty, making them viable options if you want to fill certain roles. For example, Darius the Great has a skillset ideal for gathering and resource farming, but he lacks in every other combat aspect, making him a great fit for your gathering army, but the last choice for any fight.
B-Tier Heroes in Age of Empires Mobile
The B-tier heroes include the generally weaker Legendary-ranked Heroes and some of the strong Epic-ranked ones, which you can use as a substitute for any missing position in your army. Similar to the A-tier, these heroes are only good at their specialty roles but don't do as good a job as the ones in the tiers above.
You can try incorporating these heroes in your army as supporting or secondary commanders, but definitely not as your primary lead. If you're able to get sufficient character medals to get them to at least Rank two and above, then they can be considered viable to the level of an A-tier hero.
C-Tier Heroes in Age of Empires Mobile
The C-tier heroes in Age of Empires Mobile consist of most of the epic-ranked heroes, who should be your last choice for everything. Whether it's farming, PvP, PvE, or even support, most of these heroes don't provide you with a significant edgeeven if they specialize in that role.
The only way you can get any value out of these units is as secondary commanders, that too, only if you're able to rank them up to Rank Three or above. Even though they would be outshined by most weaker Legendary Heroes. Try not to waste any resources on these ones.
