Criteria for our Kingshot hero tier list

Kingshot's heroes each belong to a specific army:

• Cavalry: warriors on horseback,
• Archers, those who fight with bows,
• Infantry, fighters on foot.

Naturally, they won't have the same appeal depending on the game mode (conquest, arena or raid). We've based this ranking on the rule of thirds. Here's an explanation of our Kingshot hero tier list:

• S Tier: These are the best heroes of any generation, based on the current meta.
• A Tier: good alternatives to Tier S heroes
• B Tier: they're good for early games, but you'll want to get rid of them quickly
• B Tier: we don't recommend these heroes, unless you're learning the game mechanics.

⚡ My advice : to improve the heroes in this tier list, don't forget to pick up the Kingshot codes! You'll be able to get hero EXP, essential for boosting their stats!
