Fire Emblem (FE) is a seasoned veteran in the Turn-based Tactical RPG genre and is highly regarded as one of the best.
Its strategic elements, diverse cast of characters, weapons, intricate storytelling, unique classes, and overall gameplay are well thought out and have been throughout the series.
The game features a huge roster of characters including fan favorites from past titles such as – Ike, Marth, Robin, Claude, Lucina, Alm, Dimitri, Chrom, Edelgarde, Anna, and much much more.
And since it’s a Gacha game, there’s going to be a tonne of Heroes to collect (764 of them to be exact), so it’s hard to figure out which are the right ones for your team.
That’s why today we’ll be sharing our Fire Emblem Tier List, ranking all Heroes in the game and how they stand in the meta.
FEH Tier List
Here’s how we’re going to be categorizing Heroes in our FEH Tier List. Firstly, we’ve divided the Tier List into 4 sections based on the Weapon Triangle System – Green/Axe, Blue/Spear, Red/Sword, Gray/Colorless.
We’ll then divide Heroes into separate Tiers depending on their overall viability, stats, skills, and performance in all game modes. We’ll rank Heroes according to S to D-Tier, with D-Tier being the least powerful/useful Heroes in the current meta.
Here’s what each Tier means:
- S-Tier – These are currently the most overpowered characters in the game and are the best in class. Many Heroes on this Tier also feature powerful abilities useful in many situations and unique, devastating weapons which further heighten their potential.
If you want to blaze through PvP matches and missions with ease, you can’t go wrong with any of the Heroes on this Tier.
- A-Tier – This Tier’s Heroes are still very powerful and capable in a variety of situations. While they may lack in certain areas (not as powerful stats/weapons/meta-skills), they’re still among the best of the best.
Mixing in some A-Tier Heroes with your main S-Tier Heroes is a good way to bolster any team. Upgrading these Heroes is a solid strategy for long-term investments and has the potential to match up to S-Tier Heroes in the long run.
- B-Tier – B-Tier Heroes on our FEH Tier List excel at situational matchups but manage to stay sort of average. They’re not the best Heroes in the game but are very useful for certain enemies and game modes.
With proper upgrading though, they’ll still be powerful additions to any team. Higher Tiered Heroes will be more powerful overall than B-Tier, but they’re still able to hold their own in a fight.
- C-Tier – Heroes on this Tier are even more situational than B-Tier and will need more support from stronger, higher Tier Heroes. Their skills may not be as powerful, useful, or viable in the current meta but they’ll play their role well.
I can see C-Tier Heroes being very useful against certain enemy matchups when you’re missing out on a role/weapon class, but don’t invest too heavily in their development.
You’ll also need to center your team composition around C-Tier Heroes to fully utilize their potential.
- D-Tier – These are currently the worst Heroes in FEH in the sense they require far more attention/upgrades for not as much return as higher Tiered Heroes.
They can be useful but struggle with easily exploited weaknesses, not as useful skills, or are just not up to par with higher Tiered Heroes.
I’d recommend using D-Tier Heroes when you need to, but focus resources on higher Tiered Heroes if you want better returns. D-Tiers take too much investment to prove useful when A-Tier/S-Tiers have more potential from the get-go.
While FE Heroes Tier Lists are useful to quickly assess a Hero’s overall capability, most Heroes are viable for most content if you know what you’re doing.
What differentiates an S-Tier from an A-Tier isn’t all too much and relates to who’s been buffed/nerfed, which skills/builds are popular in the Meta, and Heroes that excel in PvP content.
For other modes, almost any Hero you have is capable of completing battles. It’s just a matter of training them up, using resources properly, and upgrading wisely.
Keep that in mind in case you’re overwhelmed with the sheer number of Heroes in FEH. You don’t need to be caught up in the Meta chase.

Tips for Fire Emblem Heroes
Focus on Team Synergies
Before you get into battle, ensure your team has enough versatility for a variety of situations. You may face ranged units, flying units, tanks, healers, etc., and more often than not a combination of them.
Making a team full of DPS/Tank melee Heroes is a good way to lose out to ranged/mage Heroes attacking from a distance before you can even reach them. Having a proper team built with Tanks, Healers, Ranged, and Melee Heroes will be essential for tougher fights in the end-game.
Playing Often = More Orbs
One of the best things about FEH is how generous they are with Orbs, the currency you need to summon new Heroes. Logging in daily is enough to give you a couple of Orbs, and there are a bunch of missions/maps which reward you Orbs for simple requirements.
Doing this daily/multiple times a day will help you get more Orbs, and roll for better, higher Tiered Heroes more often.
Diversify Your Roster
While it’s recommended to focus on certain Heroes/roles, you should have a capable roster of Heroes instead of focusing on 1 Team composition. Summoning more Heroes and upgrading lower Tiered Heroes to fill in the gaps will be useful in the long run when facing tough battles.
Focusing on one team to tackle every battle may not be efficient when facing tougher matchups.
You’re not limited to making only 1 team so it’s a good idea to spread out resources/investment in several powerful Heroes. Determining which those are will be half the job, but will reap rewards in the long run.
And that concludes our FEH Tier List of all Heroes in the game. It’s been a long one, but using these pieces in your team will help you through tough battles you may be struggling with.
As a last tip, here’s a great resource to check out builds/Heroes in FEH; Gamepress has a variety of tools like Simulators, Tier Lists, IV Calculators, and more. Use these tools and our Tier List to make teams of powerful, competent Heroes for any battle.
While you’re here, feel free to check out more tier lists like Destiny Child Tier List and Dragon Ball Legends Tier List.
