Introduction

With the launch of Season 9 in Hero Siege on April 3, 2026, the game has undergone significant changes that heavily impact build performance, leveling speed, and overall class balance. This tier list is designed to help players choose the most efficient and enjoyable builds for leveling and early progression.

Due to the scale of recent updates, including major balance adjustments, skill reworks, and progression changes, it will take some time for the meta to fully stabilize. As a result, this tier list represents the most accurate evaluation we can provide at the very start of the season, based on available data, previous season trends, and early testing.

Our focus is on leveling performance across all stages of the game, rather than endgame scaling. Builds that are smooth, consistent, and require minimal setup are rated higher, while those that rely heavily on late-game power spikes are ranked lower.

The Prophet class is currently under evaluation. While it is now included in this tier list, its build placements should be treated as rough estimates based on early impressions and limited data. These builds have not yet been fully tested, and their performance will need to be verified as the season progresses. We will continue monitoring the class and update its rankings as more reliable information becomes available.
