Awaken: Chaos Era B Tier Heroes
With about a third of Awaken: Chaos Era’s heroes listed in the above tiers, giving you an abundance of more suitable characters to utilize, heroes under this tier become somewhat average. They are not at all bad and can even perform better than some higher tier units in some game modes. Do not be surprised as well that heroes with Legendary rarity grades can be found here as well as the 2 other lower tiers. These heroes are decent temporary members of your team while you wait for better ones to come along.

Awaken: Chaos Era C Tier Heroes
Heroes under this tier and the next one basically fall within the lower half of Awaken Heroes’ full roster, which includes rare and normal units we no longer included in the tier list. With that in mind, we can still say that these heroes have their uses but it just so happened that more than 60 other heroes perform better. You may be able to discover pretty nifty team combinations that include one of these heroes at a time but as far as time and resource investments are concerned, we recommend holding off with these units.
Agzul [Dark – Elite – Soulplunders]
Andre [Water – Epic – Soulplunders]
Cece [Wood – Elite – Sylvan Woodlands]
Dulov [Wood – Elite – Holy Light Empire]
Elson [Fire – Elite – Free Cities]

Awaken: Chaos Era D Tier Heroes
As sad and regretful as it is to say, every roster of characters will inevitably have units at the bottom tier. Despite an intent from developers to balance out characters as much as possible, some simply do not fare as good as others and in the case of Awaken: Chaos Era, these units are members of the bottom tier. It is best to veer away from investing resources in them for now and it is a hard exception to consider using them if you find one that fits your team more perfectly than any of the above characters.
Desmond [Wood – Legendary – Soulplunders]
Earendil [Wood – Epic – Sylvan Woodlands]
Godfery [Wood – Legendary – Sylvan Woodlands]
Muudos [Fire – Elite – Dragonscale Marsh]
Rujago [Water – Elite – Dragonscale Marsh]
Tuzago [Wood – Elite – Crisas]
Valuk [Dark – Elite – Soulplunders]
Vance [Wood – Epic – Lasir]
Virgil [Water – Epic – Sylvan Woodlands]
Vught [Water – Elite – Free Cities]
Yolanda [Wood – Legendary – Free Cities]
And that wraps up our Awaken: Chaos Era tier list. That certainly was a long list but we would not be surprised if some new characters or character versions are added to the game’s roster in future updates. There is also a chance that some of these characters will undergo changes over time in an attempt to bring more balance among the roster.
As we mention in every tier list we make, we believe that no 2 players will have the exact same tier list and given its opinionated nature, it cannot be deemed more or less reliable than any other tier list. We accept this fact and we especially respect everyone else’s opinions on all the characters. If you have played Awaken: Chaos Era for quite a while and have a differing opinion on what we presented, we welcome you to share your thought with us down below!
