Best Heroes in Top War - Tier List (G.I. Joe Collab) - December 2023 - AllClash (2024)

.

Pro:beyond broken good, I mean he-needs-to-be-fixed good. His buffs are just crazy and will make air force units of any kind go through the roof. Great on offense, great on defense and pretty much everywhere in the game.

Con:expensive paid hero and there are chances for him to get fixed, nullified by another upcoming new hero or replaced by a better hero with every update.

.

Pro:great buffs, especially for the back row and works great on offense as well as on defense

Con:not in the free rotation and expensive to upgrade and only works well on airforce

.

Pro:great buffs and stacks, make the above heroes even more skyrocketing

Con:not really a con, but also broken and plays along in the meta of Selina and Maximo. I personally think they will make players invest money heavily to run them and then bring new heroes at one point to nullify them (only my gut-feeling). Don't invest as small spender here.

.

Pro:just broken-strong 5-Star and overall insane damage output and boosting

Con:like the other S+ heroes here, don't invest unless you invest quite some money into the game, those heroes are meta-shaping and unless you're willing to invest into max and whale, you're wasting your money here. F2P don't even think about her...

.

Pro:crazy buffs, just insane and is part of the strongest air force march right out of the box

Con:expensive

.

Pro:Really good

Con:Slightly better than Megatron so if you have him built you might, unless you really want to spend a lot, not neccessarily invest here

.

Pro:can apply vulnerability himself and combined with others that apply that will be a really viable hero + works on airforce and army setups well and is a very good on offense

Con:well, the obviously limited event(s) to get him...

.

Pro:silence mechanic can turn games and even work well against Maximo, can be used on offense and defense well

Con:can be squishy at times with rng dependency

.

Pro:s faster than Akatora and more frequent infernal attacks and stacks the enemy attack debuff. Good on offense as well as on defense

Con:only works for navy setups as she only buffs navy troops

.

Pro:can target back row and bring them down a lot quicker than any other. Good on offense as well as on defense

Con:front row triggers skill which makes it sometimes kind of odd in battles. Also no boosts, but that's complaining on a high scale

.

Pro:works in every branch and every march as none of his kit is specific to any branch. He's basically a plug-and-play hero that you can use with every march for his huge indestructible ability in the first 2 rounds, also impressive stats.

Con:limited-time hero from the collab event and expensive

.

Pro:works in a couple of navy marches well and can be a better placement than Seaspray. Triggers her skill a lot and if combined right will get a ton of bang.

Con:if you replace Seaspray with her it's a high investment for a small improvement

.

Pro:with her great buffs and her mechanics she is one of the best heroes and used in the meta marches for navy

Con:she'll be more like a whale invest

.

Pro:works similar to Shinji but has a non-stacking enemy attack debuff that holds for 2 rounds so a little more defensive

Con:in a march with her you kind-of have to replace a hero like Kotiya to not waste Erinyes's effect, which kind-of-hurts

.

Pro:Can be a replacement for Maximo or Shinji for airforce but why invest here when the others are so powerful? She is good for airforce, no question (read con below)....

Con:... but why invest in her if she is not a valid full replacement? If you lack Maximo, Kum & Hazel or Shinji, you can still go for her.

.

Info:She is a crazy buffer but you need to have the team setup with Layla and Crimson to make her buffs apply properly. I rank her high as she has great potential but her cases are limited so please mind this - she is not a universal hero in TopWar!

.

Pro:Great universal hero

Con:Gipsy can do more offense buffing

.

Pro:Great for tanks

.

Pro:A very universal hero that boosts attack and the beginning of the battle and goes very well with army and with navy. Can be a replacement or substitution for Kotiya.

Con:Limited Crossover Event hero that forco to invest when he's available

.

Pro:basically a version of Nereid with much more defensive capabilities and will replace her in the meta soon

Con:debatable investment if you have invested in Nereid already, I would only invest in one of them

.

Pro:great on defense and in her overall kit helpful, with a crazy skill and higher damage potential than Akatora

Con:relies on proc chance that can add some rng to it

.

Pro:provides HP for the whole team and can be seen as the more defensive counterpart of Megatron

Con:low trigger rate and eventually bugged ignite effect (description doesn't have it, but he adds it)

.

Pro:outstanding damage with the splash ability and best rage generation. Helpful against Maximo.

Con:new hero and therefore huge invest 'only' for being slightly better than Megatron on offense

.

Info:Pretty much similar to Layla and not a valid replacement if you think he is

.

Info:practically a replacement if you don't have Optimus Prime. Comaprable to Shinji but not as hard-hitting but with some support

I had a pretty rough time ranking him, tbh. He is a great buffer and as Level 5 even better than Hzael Level 7, but although the buff sounds incredibly high, it is more a hero that will dominate the meta on newer servers as older servers really aren't that impressed by those numbers and the whole mechanics have some pitfalls, espcially when you can't combine him with a Shinji. So, looks great, works nice but is not the ruler for everything and if you're on an older server probably not worth the invest to replace Hazel if you have fully invested in her..

.

Pro:combined with right heroes gets a good boost, useful for PvP and PvE for defensive situations. His Exclusive LVL 7 is insane

Con:high invest, especially that you will practically need the Exclusive LVL 7 to run him properly

.

Pro:works really well in a defensive army setup

Con:not an attacking hero, so investing just for a defensive setup is questionable

.

Pro:can deal a ton of damage as long as you pair him up with a hero that provides Abonormal Status

Con:event hero so limited to build and get and impossible for F2P

.

Pro:Good hero (if you don't have Crimson)

Con:I'd like to start writing an essay here about the recent hero design that the devs have taken that I really don't understand. Why not make more clean hero design?

.

Pro:really high damage and great for offense

Con:not packing the huge punch to make it to the higher tier. I don't want to find something negative just to have something negative here. She's good, but not op and not that great on defense

.

Pro:great skill with a shield for the front row and additional damage blasts from backline

Con:buffs primarily air force which is not that universally applicable

.

Pro:can be a more offensive replacement for Aya in airforce marches

Con:buffs primarily air force which is not that universal applicable and needs to be unlocked in the limited Transformer events

.

Pro:great damage and can even hold up well with paid heroes of the army type + Free2Play!

Con:falls off behind the recently released new heroes, they are simply too strong to keep up with

.

Pro:a good defensive hero and one that relies on having a strong frontline that keeps him secure

Con:Although he's solid he doesn#t stick out anywhere. A good defensive pair with Springfield but do you really want to invest that much for a defensive combo?

.

Pro:crazy extra drops from her Treasure Compass skill, boosts your progress a ton + amazing attack buff for al units

Con:expensive paid hero

.

Pro:hidden exclusive skill effect that boosts damage of air force VS air force, hero bond value and also Free2Play

Con:only effective against air force

.

Pro:not special but his skill damage boost for navy units is quite strong

Con:nothing really outstanding anywhere

.

Pro:great for your army HP, decent damage when skilled up and and hidden exclusive skill effects army damage

Con:not sure if that's really worth the investment looking at the new heroes that have been released recently...

.

Pro:nice extra damage skill that boosts overall damage up with her

Con:skill only affects navy units

.

Pro:insane march speed increase and exclusive skill turns him into an executioner with a good bunch of other treats

Con:buggy released and not on all servers, weaker version of Katushya

.

Pro:nice flat AoE damage skill

Con:nothing in particular, she's just not outstanding anywhere

.

Pro:still a powerful and viable option

Con:not in the free rotation and expensive to upgrade, needs all attack perks maxed and exclusive skill to be worth it and with all the newer heroes he falls slowly out of the meta.

.

Pro:eally strong (if looking at it F2P-wise even the best) navy SSR rarity heroes when upgraded well, nice damage output and skill damage and quite easy to level

Con:can be squishy and requires high exclusive skill to be leveled or her damage is not that great

.

Pro:great attack buff for all unit types and damage reduce buff even working when not deployed. 50 min total per day!

Con:not an active hero that makes the difference

.

Pro:good allround damage navy hero and can even hold up with paid heroes of the navy type, F2P and quite easy to level, especially compared to paid heroes

Con:the newer heroes released recently are simply so much stronger that he will slowly decrease in overall viablility in Top War.

.

Pro:great buffing hero

Con:If you have Bradley already, you can skip him honestly as Bradley is better

.

Pro:great counter to enemies with attack speed advantage, especially navy and a good option for SVS Warzone; also F2P

Con:exclusive skill reduces damage to higher-level units

.

Pro:can put Sand Table in chaos mode to make them miss by 50% + hidden exclusive skill effect that improves navy training speed by a lot

Con:not really viable for anything else

.

Pro:useful burst damage capabilities and ignite proccs can boost damage well. Nearly guaranteed damage and a great counter to attacking enemies that are defending with an attack speed advantage

Con:not easy to level and not cheap to get/level

.

Pro:on defense his skill also applies to navy and army units

Con:skill only affects air force is not beginner friendly and there are actually many better options on the table after early-game

.

Pro:nice buff for army troops and the shield against one attack is really strong and can change battles around

Con:not easy to level and not cheap to get/level and by the time you can, you have way better options (see the tiers above). Wouldn't invest in him but is not a crime using him if you already have done that

.

Pro:nice buffing mechanics

Con:just doesn't do anything impressive and is mediocre in prettty much all setups

.

Pro:hard to rank as she is technically comparable to Optimus Prime

Con:the way she's introduced and how I believe she will fall out of the meta makes me rank her here. Not a good invest for me, tbh.

.

Info:Not a hero you will use in battle, he is decorative that provides passive buffs even when not deployed

.

Pro:absolutely solid stats and skills and skills can be affected by all troops

Con:require skill to procc, so a little rng heavy hero + can't do anything that the heroes in higher tiers can't

.

Pro:nice burst damage against one enemy when skill proccs + great for defense with her enemy DMG reduce debuff

Con:require skill to procc, so a little rng heavy hero + can't do anything that the heroes in higher tiers can't

.

Pro:good damage and can be used with all unit types

Con:damage can be RNG heavy + can't do anything that the heroes in higher tiers can't

.

Pro:You can pay to get a 5-Star hero unlocked during the event.

Con:The only reason to get him is if you are lacking of well-built heroes for filling yur marches. He's not good at anything and won't be a valid hero compared to the others so ONLY get him if you are one solid-built hero short for your marches....

.

Pro:passive (not need to be in battle) stats buff of 5% hitpoints and 5% attack when 5-Star

Con:statstick and not useful in battle, simply decor hero and I doubt we need to talk about how much Shaq fits into the game setting of war... a P2W stat-stick, nothing else.

.

Pro:passive (not need to be in battle) HP buff

Con:dumbest hero design so far in Top War (and we had bad ones before, for sure), useless in battle, passive boost forces all whales etc. to buy it

.

Pro:amazing for leveling, reduces VIT costs of all dark forces and refugee camp attacks and not required to upgrade to full stars to work great

Con:not useful later

.

Pro:great for the instant Valhalla units every day, even when not leveled up much

Con:not useful active hero

.

Pro:his gathering speed is increased as hidden effect on his exclusive skill and he's free from the login calender when you start playing Top War

Con:no active hero to use for battle

.

Pro:hidden exclusive skill effect that improves air force training speed by a lot

Con:not really useful for active battle

.

Pro:increased gathering speed as hidden effect on his exclusive skill + good world boss damage

Con:not really useful for active battle

.

Pro:great for the instant troops every day, even when not leveled up much

Con:not useful active hero

.

Pro:Odinium gather speed increase and hanger capacity increase + 50 free fast repairs for Valhalla units a day

Con:fast repairs only air force only

.

Pro:

Con:

.

Pro:great instant repair only for recruiting him

Con:epic so not useful later

.

Pro:attack speed bonus when defending a resource tile

Con:epic so not useful later

.

Pro:You can get her early for 3000 Gems that you have earned back a couple of days later. For that, she's a good starting hero

Con:Not useful after early game

Pro:easy to get and to upgrade, good secondary hero, especially with Katsuhya with army type + can be used as gathering hero with gathering perks

Pro:was free to get

Con:

Pro:actually nothing

Con:outstanding lack of overall damage so not even her boosts can make up for that and minor attack boost only affects front row, not worth investing at all
