Welcome to Method’s Fellowship Hero Tier List. We rank all heroes based on a variety of factors including their damage output, defensiveness and utility.
The Tier List has been compiled by Nate, a multi-hero Paragon player during the beta and ex World First World of Warcraft Raider.
For more information on the best performing Heroes, you can find our Hero Guides for them all which goes further in-depth about their strengths, weaknesses and gameplay.
Tier List Explainer & Disclaimer
The Tier List has been compiled with high-end gameplay in mind, with the Heroes at a higher Tier being those Heroes which we'd expect to see used by top teams (based on their current balancing). It should not be used to decide what you’re going to play or who you’re going to play with. Everything is subject to change and it’s likely there will be a large amount of tuning and balance changes over the coming weeks.
How each tier is defined:
- S-Tier: These are the Heroes we expect to absolutely dominate the meta.
- A-Tier: These Heroes are generally solid and always a good choice, but they lack the complete versatility that allow those in S-Tier to excel.
- B-Tier: These heroes are still good but they have less strengths than those in the tier above. The heroes in B are still very solid, but they each have certain weaknesses which prevent them from really shining.
Fellowship Heroes Tier List
Tier List Discussion
S-Tier
Meiko
Meiko’s placement is largely a result of her durability. Her damage is solid, her utility good, but her durability, particularly on bosses which will pose to be the real bottleneck for high end play, is a cut above the rest.
Mara
Mara does some of the best damage in the game right now. Their AoE burst is very good, but more importantly their single target is the best. This makes their overall damage profile extremely valuable. This Hero can output some absurd numbers, complimenting her complexity and skill expression well.
Tariq
Tariq absolutely owns. Managing to output some of the highest numbers in the game, whilst being incredibly tanky and mobile makes this hero very valuable. He’s generally more well-rounded than Mara but his damage output has a lower ceiling.
A-Tier
Elarion
Bow guy is a staple fantasy in a majority of games. Elarion, particularly later on, has excellent damage. With your damage profile largely being priority damage that cleaves, it makes him perfect for what you want in Fellowship. The main downsides of Elarion is the inability to talent into defensive options without a big DPS loss. His mobility is solid, being able to permanently be on the move and roll, and his utility in the form of a mass grip is really nice for stubborn trash mobs.
Ardeos
Ardeos is a hero that has some of the highest burst in the game if you set-up properly. However, their set-up does take some time, and they mostly just do damage to all targets rather than a more focused damage profile. He has decent utility and mobility, and the ability to DoT and deal damage to spread targets can be super strong on certain bosses.
Helena
Helena as a concept is a staple in the world of tanks. Revolving around simply mitigating damage before it comes in rather than having any form of self-sustain. This however proves to be her biggest weakness at the moment. With the state of your main form of mitigation (Toughness), Helena struggles to survive bosses on the harder difficulties and requires a lot of healer attention which can be very detrimental. Her damage output is extremely high and her utility is great, but the durability problem affects her ranking on this tierlist.
Vigour
Vigour is one of 2 healers in the game and is a powerhouse in regards to the amount he can increase his teams effective health through damage reductions. The main drawback is his single target healing. Vigour lacks the ability to output a large amount of spot healing, which is particularly noticeable on tanks.
B-Tier
Sylvie
Syvlie is the other of the 2 healers in the game, and revolves around healing over time. She’s a solid hero that can provide enough healing and useful cooldowns, but lacks the ability to increase her team's effective health pool often, which can be a detriment in an infinitely scaling environment. Her damage is also the lower of the 2 healers and the utility she offers is lesser too.
Rime
Rime has the capacity to deal large amounts of burst damage whilst having decent mobility and pretty solid utility. Winter’s Blessing healing the team in combination with strong offensive cooldowns can have some strong use cases. Extremely simple to play.
