Fire Emblem Heroes

Fire Emblem Heroes are all fantastic fun to play, however, some are better than others in battle. To find out which characters are most effective this month, check out our Fire Emblem Heroes tier list.

Fire Emblem Heroes is a free-to-play turn-based mobile game where the player controls one of the game’s fighters, known as Heroes, and pits them against other players in battle. However, not all Heroes are considered equal with them rising and falling in the rankings.

Of course, as with most games, the Fire Emblem Heroes tier list is likely to change as the developers continuously update the game, but our current rankings are up to date as of October 2022. Here’s who’s at the top of the pile this month.
