The Age of Empires Mobile Tier List ranks the game’s heroes from best to worst, highlighting which ones are worth investing in. Since not all heroes are equally powerful, it’s important to know which ones will give you the best performance, especially if you’re a free-to-play player.
By focusing on the top-tier heroes from the start, you’ll progress faster and have a better chance of dominating. When choosing heroes to invest in, consider factors like your role in the alliance and whether you’re a free-to-play or pay-to-win player. However, for most players, investing in heroes from tiers S and A is a safe bet, as they are the strongest.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the tier system:
- Tier S+ – Very Overpowered
- Tier S – Overpowered
- Tier A – Balanced
- Tier B – Slightly Underpowered
- Tier C – Underpowered
- Tier D – The Worst
As the game is new, heroes and their power levels may change with future updates. Keep an eye on updates for changes in the rankings.
