In this tier list for Madtale: Idle RPG, we will be ranking the best heroes at the time of the global launch. This tier list is subjective in nature, and not definitive as rankings can change at any time due to the nature of the game. We have taken several core factors into consideration while forming the tier list. The base rarity of each individual hero plays an important role as higher the rarity, the better base stats they possess. Secondly, the performance of each hero in different PvP and PvE content is also taken into consideration. The feedback received for each hero from the community is also taken into perspective.
