Welcome to Method’s Fellowship Early Access Season 2 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 former rank 1 player, 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 most utilised by the top teams. It should not necessarily be used to decide what Hero you’re going to play or who you’re going to play with. Everything is subject to change and it’s likely there will continue to be significant tuning and balance changes.
How each tier is defined:
- S-Tier: These are the Heroes that 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
Xavian
Xavian is the latest Tank additional to Fellowship's arsenal. Not only does he contribute a large amount of damage, but his utility is unparalleled. He has the ability to trivialise the majority of targeted boss mechanics all while being extremely tanky. He scales extremely well into the later stages of the game.
Tariq
Tariq is a solid Hero with the capacity to do some of the highest numbers in the game right now. His utility is still very strong, not having changed from Season 1 in that regard. His overhaul for Season 2 has been a blessing and will likely shine for those brave enough to tackle being Melee in a Ranged world.
Mara
Mara does some of the best damage in the game right now. Mara's AoE burst is very good, but more importantly her single target is the best. This makes Mara's overall damage profile extremely valuable. This Hero can output some absurd numbers, complimenting her complexity and skill expression well.
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.
A-Tier
Meiko
Meiko is a powerhouse when it comes to durability in Season 2. With unwavering spirit effects becoming baseline and being replaced with a new kick serenity generating talent, she won't have a problem doing the highest level of content. The extra AoE stops are going to be as important as ever, but her damage may be a little lacklustre.
Rime
Rime has the capacity to deal very large amounts of single target burst damage with buff stacking in combination with a specific weapon. This combo makes them valuable to any composition, with some of the top groups even opting to run 2 of them as a result. Pair that with their solid group utility and mobility, whilst being extremely simple to play, and it's no wonder Rime remains a great choice in Season 2.
Aeona
Aeona is the latest Healer to join the Fellowship roster, and with her comes the ability to effectively increase her parties health by 50%. Her main downside right now comes from Mana problems and lack of meaningful throughput, but just her single target damage and her EHP is enough to make her a powerhouse. If damage matters though, and survivability doesn't, Aeona is likely to fall behind.
Vigour
Vigour 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. His damage in new the season however has gone through the roof, and as long as he can help his team to survive, he has the potential to be the best healer.
B-Tier
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. Helena provides massive amounts of damage reduction to her team, while dealing extremely high damage and she also has access to arguably the single best utility ability in the game - Grand Melee. She unfortunately received the least changes of the tanks coming into season 2 though, and may have fallen behind the pack as a result.
Ardeos
Ardeos in Season 2 has been left as a bit of a question mark. He used to have some of the highest burst potential in the game if you set-up properly, but now it's looking a little weak after the numerous changes to the Hero. He still has decent utility and mobility, and the ability to DoT and deal damage to spread targets can be super strong on certain bosses still.
Sylvie
Sylvie's playstyle revolves around healing over time. She’s a solid hero that can provide enough healing and useful cooldowns, her lack of group EHP increases has been supplemented with her new aura, and her healing is still solid, despite revolving entirely around heartbloom. Her damage however has definitely fallen in comparison to Vigour in the new season.
