Welcome to our detailed Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas Tier List, where we will discuss the viability and awesomeness of the heroes of this game. If you’re here after reading the beginner’s guide for Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas, then get ready for another bumpy ride. This will be a lengthy discussion, after all.
The Goddess of Light may have created everyone equal, but the course of time certainly has proven that some are better than others. It’s time we examine all the Champions of this game and see which one will stay at the top with the Goddess or down the drain with the rest of the measly mortals.
Disclaimer:
Before we begin talking about the rankings and all, this tier list is made specifically for how powerful a champion is in a vacuum. It means they are good with what they have initially—without any random Basic Traits and other aspects such as Vigor.
Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas is a team-building game that builds a roster based on core characters. We can argue about which character is the strongest. But once the game’s elements are added in, paradigms shift completely.
This tier list won’t contain the Bloodstorm Champion from the Bloodcraft Legends event, as not only is it hard to obtain, but also completely broken in its own right. You can still pick it, however. It’s just that there’s not much to talk about if it’s already strong.
Now that we’ve cleared all those out, let’s continue with the tier list!
The Tier List
Tier Explanation
There are 6 tiers overall, from S to F. What these tiers mean are the following:
- S-Tier: The cream of the crop. They are the standard bearer of the meta. Any top player you see is bound to have one or all of these Champions in their rein.
- A-Tier: At the top of their power, yet still not enough to reach S-Tier. Outshone by their stronger peers but not shy from still being awesome in their own right.
- B-Tier: Good, but not great. These Champions can still fight on their own, but against the greatest, they will crumble easily.
- C-Tier: They are one mistake away from being turned into the worst units in the game. Not good, not great. A rework is required for them to be completely viable in Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas.
- F-Tier: For how bad these units are, we’re skipping two English alphabets for the sake of brevity. They are that bad. Building these Champions is the equivalent of shooting your foot with a magical missile. Compared to C-Tier, a rework isn’t enough. You’d have to build the Champion from the ground up again.
As we are categorizing Champions based on their viability and usefulness in a vacuum, there are multiple factors to consider. For the sake of transparency, these factors are:
- How good they are in the arena/campaign (Highest)
- Clan Traits, Stats, and Skills are sub-factors to this.
- District Gain (Low)
- Accessibility (Depends)
Basic Traits are not added to the factors as they are stochastic—meaning these randomized effects are not included.
Now that we’ve talked about the transparency of this list, let’s get on with the in-depth analysis of each hero!
S-Tier
Daevala (F)
Role: Assassin – Area of Effect
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: F
This immortal vampiress Champion deserves its spot at the highest tier due to her kit and stats. What makes this particular Champion frightening is her two-part kit: dealing successive life-steal damage, being immune to death for 5 seconds before she dies… and then regaining 30% of her health.
And that’s just her normal skills. Her ultimate makes her a frightening unit to fight against in combat: summoning a pit of blood that makes her invulnerable for 5 seconds and then dealing life-steal damage. She can pass through enemies as well, destroying any resistance from the front. Now that’s an assassin!
Having 3 high-survivability and high-damage-dealing skills changes the playing field entirely. Adding her to your roster ensures total victory, even if she’s the only one standing left.
Lionstone (F)
Role: Tank – Buff
District Gain: A
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: A
If you remember her from the beginner’s guide for Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas, then you bet she deserves her spot at the highest peak. The tanky Lionstone female is as staunch and stalwart as she is ruthless in her ability. Boasting high defense as well as great damage, she can certainly make your day worse.
Compared to other tanks that orient themselves towards damaging skills, hers is focused on protecting her allies. Life Link distributes any damage from a hero to her, given she casts it to her ally. Scale Armor ensures that she’s not the easiest target for any ranged enemies.
But her ultimate makes her a menace. Instead of protecting her allies more, she instead makes them deadlier by increasing their strength and attack speed by a large percentage. There’s no need to protect that much if your allies hit harder, much less from you as well.
As long as she lives, the heart of your army will never die.
Gultung (F)
Role: Marksman – Energy Negate
District Gain: S
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: A
The hunter preys upon the weak, and the female Gultung uses it as its trademark. This energy-negating marksman is a nightmare to fight against, as her skills revolve around the loss of energy toward your opponent.
Her first skill is throwing high-damaging javelins at a cone, marking opponents at the cost of energy. However, her third skill counteracts this by draining her opponent’s energy by a set amount of points depending on the skill’s level. After all of that, her ultimate adds more damage if ever her opponent has less energy.
And that’s without notice of Gultung’s Clan Trait that gives Shield if ever someone points a skill at them.
For any energy-hungry savages that you have to fight against, she is the Anti-Mage of your party.
Outside of battle, she is also a good pick when it comes to districts. It’s just that she’s hard to obtain outside of heirs and summoning.
A-Tier
Bloom Uncounted (M)
Role: Assassin – Multiple DPS
District Gain: A
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: S
The fairy-like clan of the Bloom Uncounted takes on a mystical and deadly approach in combat. The male part of the clan exemplifies how frightening he is in combat.
He can conjure clones that have the same stats and skills as him but takes 60% damage. These clones also take damage if the original Champion takes damage as well. What makes these clones frightening is that all of them can do the same ultimate at the same time as the original. That means multiple damage outputs on multiple opponents.
His best skill is also his passive. He can dodge skills every five seconds. And if it is on cooldown, it will reduce the cooldown faster. And all of his clones share this trait as well. Another is also his Clan Trait, one that gives him more damage than expected every 2 seconds.
Fear the horseless lancer, indeed.
Bloom Uncounted (F)
Role: Assassin – Crowd Control
District Gain: A
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: S
The female Bloom Uncounted also are deadly warriors in combat. Similarly, they have the same stats and the devastating Clan trait her male counterpart has. What’s different this time, however, is her tremendous crowd control.
She has the chance to inflict Sleep—allowing her to deal far greater damage. Her ultimate is awesome in its own right: throwing seeds around the battlefield and blooming to mark opponents to an eternal slumber, allowing for swift kills. And if they’re afar, she can strike them by charging toward them and also dealing Sleep.
Combined with her Clan Trait, she has more damage potential, especially with other basic traits combined.
For a fairy, she sure is the blade that tempers the night.
Aeson (M)
Role: Mage – Buff / Damage
District Gain: C
Obtainability: S
Clan Trait: C
The male Aeson’s skill set is an all-around tool for a mage of his caliber. He has a shield that protects his allies from harm for an insanely high amount of scaling. He also has a team-wide buff that increases their Strength. His ultimate is no joke either: dealing great damage towards a single target and lessening the damage they can deal.
What is said is how his Clan Trait doesn’t work well with his skills, which would make him far more of a bigger threat if it did. That does not change how easy it is to gather male Aeson’s easily, as his obtainability is far greater than other heroes.
Fulgur (F)
Role: Mage – Area of Effect Damage
District Gain: S
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: S
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. But hell hath no fury like a woman capable of riling up the skies and eviscerating the frontline with a ball of lightning. The rolling thunder herself; the female Fulgur.
Her abilities are what make her a number one target priority by the enemy team. Her first skill has far more damage potential than her ultimate; a ball of lightning that erases health as long as an enemy is in its trajectory. That doesn’t discount her ultimate, one that inflicts stun against an opponent.
An even bigger threat from her is that all of her skills electrify opponents—letting teammates deal higher chances of critical hits against that target alone. With this in mind, it’s no surprise people use heroes that pull such characters towards their team.
And that’s not even counting the Fulgur’s clan trait: giving all of their allies strength that increases every 2 seconds.
With her by your side, then you have a storm that is approaching.
Fulgur (M)
Role: Mage – Area of Effect Damage
District Gain: S
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: S
And now comes the male counterpart of an already deadly Champion. The Fulgur clan never fails to show its dominance against its foes, considering how they bear the semblance of Zeus himself (outside of the game, mind you). However, there are differences from his female counterpart.
While the female Fulgur hits hard, the male Fulgur leans more toward durability and finishing off his opponents with a dazzling finish.
He marks targets with a skill, which then stuns and damages them after 3 hits of it. If ever someone tries to use status-affecting skills, his lightning shield protects him from any ailment and increases his attack and speed.
But his ultimate is what makes him fearsome. If the female Fulgur only stuns for a short amount of damage, the male Fulgur hits all enemies and hits even harder if they have fewer amounts of health. Combine it with his insane durability, and you have a nightmarish mage that is as tanky as the next Warrior beside it.
Ignis (F)
Role: Mage – Area of Effect Damage
District Gain: A
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: B
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but now that woman is hell herself. The female Ignis takes it up a notch by completely dousing your enemies with flames until they die from all the third-degree burns inflicted on top of one another.
What makes the female Ignis frightening is how her attacks and skills apply Burning. Burning deals damage roughly around the attacker’s Strength for 3 seconds. At her highest, the female Ignis can stack 16 burning effects on her enemy. If the skills don’t kill you, then her lingering flames will.
And she has more to her arsenal. Her first skill blasts as strong as a female Fulgur can and can inflict stun for a 30% chance. If that doesn’t kill, then her bouncing ultimate will. The following skill gets stronger for every stack of burning status the opponent has. They’ll be charcoal before they can even strike back.
It’s good that she’s on your side. Imagine if she’s in the other enemy’s team.
White Eye (M)
Role: Mage – Buff / Debuff
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: C
While the male White Eye’s looks and demeanor make him a bad business partner in the district, he thrives more in the art of war, helping his allies in need. Boasting higher HP than other mages, the male White Eye thrives on making the enemy as irritated as possible. Exactly what his skill set provides to the team.
He casts a totem that lasts for 5 seconds, which deals damage to a random enemy around you… that also stuns as well. If that isn’t irritating enough, enemies will gain less energy per hit as long as he’s not dead. To add greater insult to injury, his ultimate increases the attack and speed of all Champions for 5 seconds. Add in the White Eye’s Clan Trait, and you have an irritating fly that needs to die.
If the skull in his hand isn’t laughing, it is now.
Daevala (M)
Role: Assassin – Area of Effect Damage
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: C
The male Daevala is a rank lower than his female counterpart, but he is still a threat to be reckoned with for his skill set.
His first skill targets the one furthest from his attack range. For convenience, think of a circle with him at the center. There are multiple enemies surrounding him, and the one he will attack is the one teetering on the edge of the circle. That skill stuns opponents for 1.5 seconds and deals critical damage.
Speaking of critical damage, each critical hit made by him heals him for 8% Max HP, as opposed to his female counterpart. While not as strong as his female counterpart, it is more consistent if ever he can deal critical hits every single time.
His ultimate brings up the same pool of blood, but now it deals an absurd amount of damage 3 times. The same ultimate acts as an arena for him. As long as he is in it, he can cast skills faster, along with his ultimate.
A primed duelist eager to draw blood at every opportune moment.
Doombringer (F)
Role: Warrior – Tank / Sustain
District Gain: A
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: B
Instead of a woman bearing the fury of hell, she is hell herself. Bearing a far more demonic aesthetic to the battlefield, the female Doombringer reminds you of the futile struggle it is to fight someone like her. And how good she is in district business as well.
Disregarding that, she is a demon in combat. For every waking second on the battlefield, her chance to make lifesteal attacks increases up to 50%. This means her attacks not only hit hard but also hit harder mentally for her opponents as she regenerates her lost health.
Her skills also don’t disappoint. She can send a shockwave in front of her that deals high amounts of damage and reduces their attack speed. Her ultimate, her Coup de Grace, sends everyone airborne for massive damage and increases her attack speed. Mind you, being airborne means unable to attack, so they’re equally more helpless.
A demon in battle, she is the last thing you want to fight against.
Dvravapala (F)
Role: Warrior – Off-Tank / Crowd Control
District Gain: S
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
Hailing from the serpentine clan, the female Dvravapala allures its enemies close and then deals a swift blow that kills them while strengthening herself. Her four swords are the least of your concerns when you have all of these things to consider.
She pulls out an arcane serpent that bounces around opponents: dealing damage, stunning them, and stealing their energy. The serpent hits even harder for every jump, dealing 40% damage after it hits the last opponent. And if someone tries to fight her, she secretes a dangerous toxin that bleeds an opponent and reduces their attack (which stacks), as well as increasing her resistance.
But her ultimate is what makes her frightening: a high-damaging spell that pulls in her opponents with eldritch tentacles. If they weren’t dead from that, then they’ll be dead by either her or her companions. And that ultimate increases her power as well.
Disregarding all of those aspects, the Dvravapala clan are also good tenders to districts, thus good choices for the agricultural field.
Bewitching, alluring, frightening. The female Dvravapala slithers her opponents to oblivion.
Dvravapala (M)
Role: Warrior – Off-Tank / Crowd Control
District Gain: S
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
Another one hailing from the serpentine clan, the male Dvravapala also holds the same role as its female counterpart. Same as everyone else with their mirror image, they also have different skill sets. While the female Dvravapala bewitches, he massacres.
He starts off his fight with a taunting skill, pulling anyone in his cone of vision towards him and only launching normal attacks at him with reduced Strength. Their struggles are futile as his scales have a chance to resist damage, inflicting back the pain they give to him for the amount of Strength the male Dvravapala has.
With his final act, he slams them with his ultimate, stunning them with great damage.
His serpentine dance leaves only a trail of disoriented corpses in his trail.
Ugrull (F)
Role: Warrior – Sub-DPS / Sustain
District Gain: B
Obtainability: B
Clan Trait: B
While she’s in the A-tier, always expect this monster of a Champion to be in the Arena dominating all. As part of the starting team, as stated in the beginner’s guide, the female Ugrull makes sure that any high-leveled opponent has to think twice when fighting her.
Her entire style is completely to attack, attack, and attack. She throws an axe at her opponents at aline, reducing their attack speed by 20% for 2 seconds. She hits faster and harder if she’s attacking the same enemy. But that isn’t what makes her frightening.
If she’s in the frontline and she’s assaulted by melee attacks, her ultimate is one of the greatest at reversing the situation—healing her whilst damaging her opponents. If that isn’t enough, it’s stronger when she’s completely surrounded, with the chance of her up to full health in that situation.
A must-pick for a beginner and a solid choice for a veteran.
Simir (F)
Role: Warrior – Off-tank / Sub-DPS
District Gain: S
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: F
The Persian-inspired female Simir is highly-proficient in combat, not letting a single attack towards her not be unpunished with one of her own. That is how her skill set. Even so, she’s good in the district but not much in other aspects, as stated.
Otherwise, her skills make her a good off-tank. Her first skill attacks her opponent with a sword and shield combo, knocking them back and ending with a critical hit attack. Every attack made to her, she will counterattack with her own every 4 seconds. And with a roar as her ultimate, she increases the damage they can take while preventing them from using their ultimate to retaliate.
Good basics never failed for this Champion, and it won’t fail her now.
Galibar (F)
Role: Tank – Crowd Control / Sustain
District Gain: S
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
The elusive dryads are tanky units, and the female Galibar is no exception. Similar to the Karg, they have two forms. The female counterpart’s form is the Sylvin Avenger.
The female Galibar is strong as her abilities have her throwing a parasitic seed at her opponents, stealing their life and dealing damage. Attacking her for it will make her heal more, and this stacks for her and her allies. And then, transforming to her Sylvin Avenger form as an ultimate makes all of the skills stronger whilst entangling foes to deal damage.
And if she does die, her allies get reduced damage for 6 seconds as a Clan Trait. Even in death, she will serve her purpose.
Galibar (M)
Role: Tank – Crowd Control / Sustain
District Gain: S
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
Similar to his female counterpart, the male Galibar has his own transformation: the Slyvin Guardian. Its burly appearance matches how tough it can get in the face of battle with its mastery of the roots below.
Unlike his female counterpart, however, his skills lean towards aggravating the best attacker of the enemy team and keeping them busy. His first skill ensures that he weakens the best of the enemy team and additionally tangles them when in his transformed state. If that doesn’t work, his other skill heals the ally with the lowest health.
His transformation, however, doesn’t hold up to the standards the female counterpart has set, but it is mediated by him protecting the lowest current HP of his allies and pushing them back whilst transforming. Now that is a skill that befits an ever-watchful guardian of the woods.
Lionstone (M)
Role: Tank – Buff
District Gain: F
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: B
The male Lionstone is a different breed of a stalwart from its female counterpart. Instead of damage-oriented buffs, the male counterpart of the Lionstone clan ensures no one dies on his watch. Let’s parse through what he has.
He can create a giant shield that completely negates any crowd control skills and reduces damage. On top of that, he can summon a shield that protects everyone in the entire team, acting as temporary HP depending on his current level’s Strength.
But once he starts to hit the bucket is where he becomes a fearsome opponent. Being able to defend your allies is a nice addition, but being able to decrease the enemies’ Strength is a game-changer in a battle that allows for clutch moments. With such a withering aura, it’s harder to kill everyone as long as the Lionstone Champion stands tall.
Orost (F)
Role: Tank – Crowd Control
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
The tanky female Orost Champion stampedes through all her foes with the power of her ancestral spirits. But it’s her skill set that breaks the tradition of what a ‘tank’ is and can change the dynamics of a fight.
If you’re familiar with Earthshaker from DOTA, she takes up a page from his book by slamming the ground and stunning anyone around her for 1 second. Should the enemies continue their onslaught, they have to deal with her Shield—should it break, they also get stunned as well.
And finishing the familiarity, her ultimate stuns and deals damage to every enemy Champion within its radius. Every part of her skill is to ensure that they never get the chance to attack, therefore ‘tanking’ their ability to even do anything.
Combine it with her Clan Trait of receiving less skill damage, and you have a threat that just can’t stop stampeding around the battlefield.
Gultung (M)
Role: Marksman – Debuff / Sub-DPS
District Gain: S
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
Being a tier lower than its female counterpart, the male Gultung is still a fierce competitor among the rest. He has a greater chance of dealing critical hits than his female counterpart, and it stacks with other bonuses, which allows him to have critical hits all the time. It would be good on another hero, but that’s for another time.
Regardless, the male Gultung’s game plan is to push off any approaching enemies with an endless barrage of arrows. His first skill silences enemy Champions with a volley and reduces their speed. Afterwards, he’ll go enter a state of bloodthirst that increases his attack speed, and all of his attacks become critical attacks.
The only reason it’s a tier lower is because of how powerful ultimates can be, but that doesn’t discount how insanely deadly the Champion is, to begin with.
Tidestorm (F)
Role: Marksman – Single Damage
District Gain: S
Obtainability: A
Clan Trait: B
The crossbow of this female clansman of the Tidestorm Clan is no joke in combat. It deals as high damage as it is as big as her body. Compared to his male counterpart, her schtick is to prey on disabled Champions and finish them off as soon as possible.
First, she blinds her opponents with a shot for 3 seconds. Once her ultimate is ready, she can inflict massive amounts of damage on the nearest opponent—stunning and knocking them back for a fair distance. All of this is made more powerful as her other skill ensures she always has greater damage and is able to double her damage against those that are disabled.
She’s a perfect blend for a team that inflicts more status effects.
Tidestorm (M)
Role: Marksman – Single Damage
District Gain: S
Obtainability: A
Clan Trait: B
And finally, the last contender for A-tier: the male Tidestorm. He would originally be a tier higher, but his skill set isn’t enough to completely outpace his competitors on the battlefield. Regardless, this male Champion is still a threat that needs to be shut down—one that you’ll be glad is on your side.
His signature move is dragging the farthest hero to his range, making said enemy Champion fresh meat for the frontline. What makes him deadlier is that for every fallen enemy Champion, he gets stronger and faster. And for a deadly coup de grace, his ultimate deals double the damage if ever the enemy’s health is below 30%.
A strong competitor, one that could’ve been a tier higher.
B-Tier
Ignis (M)
Role: Mage – Area of Effect Damage
District Gain: A
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: B
The male Ignis falls short of its female counterpart due to the duration of sustaining burn damage and measly stats. This is shown even so by how vastly different their skills work.
Compared to his female counterpart, he could only rely on his Clan Trait to deal burning damage—but that is weaker considering that his normal attacks don’t deal with the burning stat all the time. The male Ignis, however, compensates by dealing more damage if an enemy is burning.
That’s all there is to his upsides. That doesn’t mean he’s still weak, as his passive skill still allows him to compete with other heroes. Even then, said skill is nothing to one that consistently stacks burning damage.
Lume (F)
Role: Mage – Buff
District Gain: A
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: A
The time-controlling female Lume is excellent on the battlefield as a supporting unit but cannot stand on its own due to its abilities centering more around protecting allies than herself. Once there’s no one left in the field, she’s as vulnerable as a stick crunched by a foot.
This is further exemplified by her passive skill, Time’s Telling. Any debuff reduces damage toward her, and every buff increases her own damage output. This would make her a powerful DPS if not for her measly damage output. Her ultimate more so, as it requires a teammate to be alive to begin with.
She’s good, but only when she has a team left to fight with. Her only upside is her other skill, but that 1-target stun is sad compared to other heroes.
Luxuriant (F)
Role: Mage – Crowd Control / Sub-DPS
District Gain: S
Obtainability: A
Clan Trait: B
The female Luxuriant can be described more as a devilish succubus—enticing opponents to fight for her bidding and immediately demolish a rank and file’s formation. Any attacks have a price to pay, scarring back any opponent with their own damage. However, their charming skill is ultimate and requires patience from the player for it to charge.
She would also be a tier higher if not for the fact that charm can be nullified by other heroes and said enemy heroes can use their ultimates against their fellow comrades.
With that said, she still has her upsides in that she buffs her allies while damaging opponents with a whip. Her Clan Trait also makes her a menace by giving her a chance to remove buffs from enemies. Even with such glaring weaknesses, she’s still a competent fighter.
Harul (F)
Role: Assassin – Sustain
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
The female Harul is a conniving striker that can go on her own. Her Clan Trait gives her a chance to shrug off Champion skills, making her stay alive even more. Her skill set makes her viable against one-versus-ones. If only she had a better Fortitude stat that would not make her dead from other things.
Regardless, the female Harul capitalizes on grouped-up opponents, marking one of them and making the marked Champion explode and deal area of effect damage. This marking skill also heals her should the explosion occur. She also zips around targets and reduces their damage, with her ultimate resetting her skills and allowing her to fight more.
If not for her measly defense, she would’ve been able to compete against anyone better.
Harul (M)
Role: Assassin – Single-target Nuke
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
Compared to his female counterpart, the furry male Harul attacks the back line immediately and with devastating effects. Anyone in the back line has to contend with a monster that deals more damage that deals more damage if they are below 30% HP. But to do so, he has to swap locations with the enemy Champion that is the farthest from him, giving your allies a free kill and your male Harul a chance to strike the back.
His ultimate is also strong as it reduces healing effects by 60%, thus making any target he picks a dead man in the making. However, the problem with his ‘teleportation’ skill is that it will happen at the start of the battle, thus making him the target of everyone before anyone can make contact with their enemies.
He’s a good pick… if he can survive the first assault.
Yivnian (M)
Role: Assassin – Energy Negate
District Gain: S
Obtainability: A
Clan Trait: S
The male Yivnian’s game plan is to strike at the heart of the back line (or the one with the highest energy in the team) and disorient the formation of the team, disrupting it with his presence. He fans out his blades around him, constantly dealing damage while he dances around the battlefield. Any time any of his attacks hit, it depletes energy.
All of that is completely nonsensical once you view his mediocre stats. His Strength is average compared to other heroes, and his health and defense are even lower than other heroes. He can completely die in an instant if left unattended.
Because of it, he acts more like a one-trick pony throughout the game. Even with his Clan Trait, it wouldn’t make much if he died faster before he could even unleash his ultimate.
Karguk (M)
Role: Tank – Sustain
District Gain: C
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: A
If you played DOTA 2 as Axe, then you may understand completely what his entire kit is. A role fitting for a tanky axe-wielding hero.
For those who don’t know, his skill set revolves around taunting opponents into attacking him. This only makes them a prime target for his other skill: Counter Spiral. The skill activates whenever someone hits him. It doesn’t have a cooldown, meaning it will damage anyone instantly who attacks him. Combined with his Clan Trait, he becomes a sturdy asset in the battles ahead.
However, he isn’t A-Tier because his ultimate may be like Axe’s but is not like his inspiration’s in terms of mechanics. The skill deals more damage the lower the enemy’s HP is, but it doesn’t refresh as soon as it hits. Another is his measly Strength, which makes his damage output lower than what should be expected of him.
Lume (M)
Role: Mage – Healer / Cleanse
District Gain: A
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: A
Compared to his female counterpart, the male Lume focuses more on helping his allies with healing skills. Combining it with his Clan Trait, he becomes a powerful ally that augments a powerful team. However, just like his female counterpart, he is an easy target once the team falls apart.
Regardless, his healing spells are what makes him still at the top of his colleagues. While attacking, he can heal his allies every 5 seconds. He can dispel any buffs with his Chrono-Circle and heal them back up. His ultimate is what makes him nightmarish when combined with a team: if they die during the spell’s duration, they immediately get a second chance at fighting once more.
After all, a lasting army is much more frightening than a frail one.
The Scorching Fire (F)
Role: Mage – Area of Effect Damage
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: F
The ever-dutiful female Scorching Fire’s presence is as frightening as her skills. Even in her own death, her Clan Trait ensures that everyone gets a fighting chance by giving them all energy. While her skills may look like it has low damage output, they are compensated by her massive base strength.
For her skills, she can curse opponents. If ever someone targets her and her health lowers to 50%, the damage she takes reduces. And for her ultimate skill, she unleashes a horde of wraiths that also recovers her health.
If not for how low the percentages are at the max level, she could be a tier higher. Regardless, she’s still an ever-present threat that will be handy in your roster.
The Scorching Fire (M)
Role: Mage – Area of Effect Damage
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: F
Compared to the sustaining power of his female counterpart, the male Scorching Fire becomes stronger the more he nears death’s door. And should he reach it, he still carries the Clan Trait that will invigorate his allies. Even so, he also yields a high strength count, making him a deadly opponent in battle.
Regardless, this Champion can summon a fiery, spiteful imp that explodes and reduces an enemy’s fortitude—making them prime targets for his ultimate. His ultimate hurts just like the male Karguk’s; attacking 3 random enemies within his range and dealing more damage the lower their health is.
He could be a higher-tier unit if not for the fact that he has no saving grace in the form of defensive measures. Regardless, he is still a powerful asset in the team, especially with his ultimate taken into account.
Zaess (F)
Role: Mage – Area of Effect Damage
District Gain: A
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: F
The female Zaess is a dominating factor on the battlefield, wielding a staff capable of barraging opponents with orbs. She is, however, frail in both health and defense, but she compensates regardless with her magical arsenal. She is more straightforward with her skills as she fires a barrage of said magic missile and charging up for a deadly finish.
She also has a passive skill that allows her to have more chances to do critical hits. Combine it with her Clan Trait that gives her Shield every time she does a skill, and she becomes a domineering part of the battle. It still is saddening, however, that she could have far more potential than just a barrage as compared to other damage-dealing heroes with status effects added to their skills.
Zaess (M)
Role: Mage – Area of Effect Damage
District Gain: A
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: F
While his female counterpart focuses on spamming magical orbs toward her opponents, the male Zaess plants wards that help his allies and curses his foes. The only downside to this is that his Clan Trait does not benefit from his high cooldown wards.
Regardless, he’s still strong as he punished opponents with Arcane Entanglement. It damages enemy Champions for 5 seconds, and should they try to cast a skill, the male Zaess can deal more damage to them.
His ultimate punishes them more by creating an arena-like area that silences foes and damages them. The ultimate isn’t the best compared to the other higher-tiered Champions, but it serves its purpose of helping frontline Heroes with a powerful, undispellable status effect.
Strixbane (F)
Role: Assassin – Single-target Damage
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
While the Strixbane clan has less to offer for the public side of things, they gear up more as shadows in the dark—nightmarish foes that strike at the heart of their foes. The female Strixbane exemplifies that perfection is key, as dodging enemy attacks gives her a mark—making her stronger for up to 5 stacks.
And at the start of the battle, she can immediately go towards the back row and target the farthest of the bunch whilst increasing her dodge. She is far better than the Haruls in terms of survivability, as even her ultimate gives her a chance to stun opponents.
She does, however, lack the ability to heal her wounds. But who needs to when you can dodge enemy hits otherwise? More so that her Clan Trait does give her a chance to heal her wounds, given that she can hit her targets, to begin with.
Strixbane (M)
Role: Assassin – Single-target Damage
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
Compared to his female counterpart, the male Strixbane focuses on pure damage output, trading off the ability to dodge for the ability to slit someone’s throat harder and faster. After all, there’s no need to dodge when they’re already dead on the ground.
Regardless, the male Strixbane has a unique advantage to his arsenal: the ability to completely ignore an enemy Champion’s defense with one of his acting skills. He is more attack-oriented, in which the next third strike will deal more damage, as well as invincibly blitzing through opponents using his ultimate.
Once his gig is up, however, he is completely vulnerable. That doesn’t stop it from making him a good choice.
Doombringer (M)
Role: Warrior – Sub-DPS
District Gain: S
Obtainability: B
Clan Trait: B
The male counterpart of the Doombringer clan is a tier from his other half, as the following does not have lifesteal initially. He does, however, make up for it with a few unique skills of his own.
He has a skill that pushes back anything in front of him. He also has an ultimate that stuns the first thing he hits in front of him, and he is invincible during this process. Combine this with immediately gaining lifesteal once he’s in the bring of death, and you have a hero that is good when controlled properly.
Nasse (M)
Role: – Off-tank / Sub-DPS
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: F
The elusive clan of Nasse is not only unable to rack in money from the districts but also has a Clan Trait that relies on having low HP to deal more damage. While good on paper, a skill or two can easily write off anyone’s health, thus not making it viable for both gender counterparts.
Regardless, the male Nasse counters this with a skill that recovers his HP for how much he deals in damage. This allows him to sustain himself in combat, thus continuing the pressure. His only normal active skill and ultimate skill involve knocking a person airborne and sweeping them back, respectively, giving him some upsides to an otherwise bad kit.
Nasse (F)
Role: – Off-tank / Sub-DPS
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: F
The female counterpart of the Nasse clan also suffers the same Clan Trait its male counterpart has. She doesn’t have the life-stealing attacks that her male member of the clan has, but she has one gimmick that makes her unique above the rest: the ability to destroy enemy Champion shields and capitalize on them.
However, this niche tactic only applies to a few heroes that do employ shield-based skills and traits. This does not discourage the use of the female Nasse, as the ones who have Shield are at a higher tier. Her being at the B-Tier shows that she’s not for general use but enough when encountering teams that use said strategy.
Simir (M)
Role: Warrior – Off-tank / Sub-DPS
District Gain: S
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: F
The male Simir has lower stats compared to his female counterpart (lower HP and defense) but has higher Strength to compensate for it, as well as a different set of skills. Instead of an elegant display of sword and Shield, the male Simir displays brutal barrages with his sword.
Both of his active skills involve pushing back opponents and stunning them, with his ultimate attacking the opponent with the highest Strength among the enemy Champions. What makes the ultimate special is that he will trample anyone in his path toward his target, knocking them back.
However, chances are this skill won’t be at its best as those with higher Strength tend to be at the front line or are not lined up with other opponents. Even his passive skill, Lion’s Den, is useless after the start of a battle. He serves far more of a niche purpose at best.
Orost (M)
Role: Tank – Crowd Control
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: B
The male Orost has better stats than its female counterpart by a small margin, but it fails to capitalize on Strength. His skill set is vastly different from his counterpart, and such will be explained in the next paragraph.
He only has one damaging attack, with the rest of his skills focusing on tanking the enemy by taunting them (his ultimate) and a 30-second Shield at the start of the battle. Said damaging skill only leaves enemies airborne, with a measly amount of damage. That doesn’t remove how sturdy the ox man can get when given a chance to use his ultimate.
Once the 30-second mark passes and his ultimate diminishes, he is left to the mercy of his own stats.
Elzedith (F)
Role: Marksman – Single-target Damage
District Gain: A
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: C
The purple-skinned Elzedith clan strikes from afar with their icy bows, and the female Elzedith is no exception to this rule. Her ice-based skill set allows her to shut down an annoying foe in a heartbeat, slowing them down until they are frozen stiff. And that’s without their Clan Trait that can stun enemies if they hit the proc for it.
That doesn’t mean it comes with disadvantages, however. She has low HP for a Marksman, as well as Strength. Once she is alone, she’s completely down for the count. Despite all of these aspects, she is a foe to be reckoned with for her icy shots. Someone who can teleport freely to the back row can mess with her, though only by a small window of time.
Elzedith (M)
Role: Marksman – Single-target Damage / Debuff
District Gain: C
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: C
Similar to his female counterpart, the male Elzedith also has the same outlandish stats and Clan Trait. However, he is weaker when assigned to the district, limiting his use towards combat. That does not automatically translate that the male Elzedith is good for combat, however.
Unlike his female counterpart, his skill set revolves around removing buffs and hitting harder against an opponent with debuffs. Should the male Elzedith hit someone with a debuff, he has a higher chance of scoring a critical hit. This applies to all of his damaging skills as well, made better when fused with his buff-clearing ultimate.
He could be a tier higher if Weakness Strike has a better chance to deal critical hits, as well as his other two damaging skills to actually hit harder than just a measly percentage.
C-Tier
White Eye (F)
Role: Mage – Buff / Debuff
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: C
The female side of the White Eye clan falls two tiers short of her other half, largely due to her skill set. Her stats only fall for a bit from the male White Eye, but she’s not relatively useless compared to the tier below her.
Her game plan revolves around healing allies with her totems and increasing their damage. Each attack she makes adds a layer of Bestial Blood, which she can use to heal her allies using her own ultimate. The downside of all of her skills is how tremendously low the duration of her abilities is.
Should her HP become lower than 50%, she casts a totem that reduces the enemies’ attack by a large percentage. However, the duration is only 5 seconds, and her positioning to this is vital. The moment she does this skill is the moment nearly every Champion of your roster is already dead on the ground.
She would be a far greater asset if her skills could last more than they should.
Aeson (F)
Role: Mage – Buff / Healer
District Gain: C
Obtainability: S
Clan Trait: F
Two tiers lower than her male counterpart, the female Aeson falls short on a few aspects. She has lower stats than her male counterpart, and her skill set revolves more around healing and protecting her allies. While it sounds good on paper that she deals more with buffing and healing, her skills are what make her a last-option pick.
She has no battle-oriented skills, focusing more on healing and increasing the defense of her teammates as long as she is alive. Her passive skill only applies to herself, and she has more use for her Clan Trait. But all of it comes to a complete mess as her ultimate only targets the lowest HP allied Champion.
It sounds good as a clutch option but falls short as the ultimate can miss when the Champion dies while she charges up the skill. There are better options out there for healers, but she’s not the worst to have, considering how she’s one of the few Champions you obtain during Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas’ story.
Lycanis (F)
Role: Warrior – Debuff / Sub-DPS
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: F
The female Lycanis is an assassin that specializes in debuffing opponents and attacking straight at the heart of the foe. This all sounds great, but it all folds once you see the skill set that this particular Champion has.
While other heroes have skills that damage an opponent while decreasing their stats, the female Lycanis only debuffs nearby opponent’s fortitude and Strength. Their other active skill is subpar, as healing tends not to be a great factor in the game.
Her only saving grace is her ultimate, which allows her to summon two more wolves (that act like Champions). Should these wolves die, she gets stronger and get lifesteal for about 12 seconds. If not for it, she would be a tier lower.
Lycanis (M)
Role: Warrior – Debuff / Sub-DPS
District Gain: F
Obtainability: F
Clan Trait: F
The male counterpart of the Lycanis clan, this intimidating wolf-man’s game plan is to attack the weakest among the enemy roster (as his ultimate). The lower their health is, the faster he gets at clawing them, giving him a wide breadth of advantage in one-on-one situations.
This fall short when compared to other heroes that deal more damage. His ultimate, when maxed out, is one of the weakest that the game can provide, and also puts him at a disadvantage should the one with the weakest defense turns out to be at the center stage of the fight. His growl—which inflicts fear for 5 seconds and strengthens him—can mitigate any downside the hero has.
Yivnian (F)
Role: Assassin – Single-target DPS
District Gain: F
Obtainability: B
Clan Trait: S
The female counterpart of the male Yivnian, she also has the same mediocre stats that her mirror has. However, she has the advantage of her Clan Trait, allowing her to get her ultimate faster than others.
Her skills are good when you see them. They increase the Champion’s dodge rate by a high amount (60%), which combs well with Phantom Dance—increasing her Attack Speed for every successful dodge. Combined with her ultimate, she can easily disrupt enemy lines by taking the last blow to kill the weakest opponent and getting stronger with critical hits in the process.
Her downsides are also obvious. She’s completely reliant on these skills. Once it is down, she is at the complete mercy of her high cooldown, as well as the low duration these skills have.
Ugrull (M)
Role: Warrior – Sub-DPS
District Gain: S
Obtainability: B
Clan Trait: B
The male Ugrull is as intimidating as its female counterpart in the clan, though it falls shorts in a few aspects. He has low health and Strength. His skills also don’t mesh well with one another, as he relies more on losing his health to be far more effective.
His first skill does True Damage (ignoring fortitude completely), but it damages him as well. His passive and ultimate takes advantage of his lowered health, however. The former makes him even faster at hitting his targets, and the latter gives him lifesteal. What is different is that his ultimate never deals damage and acts more as a ‘state’ to which he can tap for a short duration.
Gryphon (F)
Role: Warrior – Off-tank
District Gain: S
Obtainability: S
Clan Trait: A
The Gryphon clan is one of the most easily accessible Champions in the game, as you can capture them and easily rehabilitate them in the dungeon. Their district gain also makes them perfect starting district heroes. But once they are in the battles, these conniving savages tend to fall short of their skills.
Her passive skill increases her Strength when her health is lower by 50%, but this is a measly percentage compared to other heroes. This also goes for her skills, Annihilation Thrust and Merciless Streak (her ultimate). Both skills deal a low amount of damage, and the ultimate’s decrease in fortitude is a bit low for use.
She’s not bad, but she’s not good for long-term use.
Gryphon (M)
Role: Warrior – Off-tank / Crowd Control
District Gain: S
Obtainability: S
Clan Trait: A
The male counterpart of the Gryphon clan has better stats than the female side of the clan and better skills to boot. He still suffers in the same downsides that the clan has in terms of damage output, even when his Clan Trait allows him to have a bit of an edge at the start.
His first and ultimate skill acts as crowd control abilities, pushing enemies back in an arc and flying them airborne, respectively. He also has a better passive in which he can recover his health every three normal attacks. That is all of the advantages he has, as the last two skills still fall short on the damage.
His leadership is the only upside on this matter. If it were not, then he’d be at the bottom rung.
Sallyhorn (F)
Role: Tank
District Gain: F
Obtainability: A
Clan Trait: C
Hailing from the stout and short clan of Sallyhorn, the female side of the clan falls as short as she is tall. Her defensive stats as a tank is subpar, and her skills deal lower damage due to her low Strength. She can control an enemy by throwing them by the shoulder, but that’s about it for the hero.
While a good counterpoint can be their ultimate, it is bugged and has little-to-none advantages to give once battle comes. Her passive counts as well, giving her one chance to revive once more before falling down the count all the same.
Her obtainability is her saving grace and not much else.
Sallyhorn (M)
Role: Tank
District Gain: F
Obtainability: S
Clan Trait: C
Another suffering Champion is the male Sallyhorn. Unlike his female counterpart, he has lower Strength and fortitude from his stats. However, unlike his buggy female counterpart, his skills do work and thus give him a better advantage.
He rams his Shield toward his opponents, stunning them at the start of the battle. His ultimate help out his allies by giving them shields, though only by a small amount due to his mediocre Strength. He has his passive that reflects back damage but is otherwise not as great due to the ratio of taking-receiving damage.
He is a good pick at the start because of his availability, but he comes off weak later on.
Travain (F)
Role: Marksman – Single DPS
District Gain: A
Obtainability: A
Clan Trait: S
The elf-based Travain clan is powerful. They yield one of the outstanding clan traits in the game: increasing a hero’s base attack speed. Their skills also focus on destroying one opponent before the next, and they are easily obtainable and usable for districts.
While they could be a tier higher or two, their biggest downside is their survivability. The female Travain makes sure she’s still viable by rapidly firing multiple arrows all at once, with her ult increasing her speed and Strength completely. Even her passive allows her to deal True Damage equal to a target’s Max HP.
But once you compare her to other heroes, she is a glass cannon that can be destroyed with any all-damaging ultimates.
Travain (M)
Role: Marksman – Single DPS
District Gain: S
Obtainability: A
Clan Trait: S
The male Travain has better stats than his female counterpart and a different set of skills that involves trapping his opponents in vines and wearing them off. As for the skills, it’s what makes him somewhat a worse choice than the female Travain in combat.
While his female counterpart has better synergy with her skills, his doesn’t complement what he has. His root-tangling spell doesn’t match with his ultimate—firing a large shot that knocks back all foes and reduces their fortitude by a measly percentage. His passive skill, one that splits his arrows into three, is weak when compared to the female Travain’s.
His only saving grace is his Clan Trait and his use as a District Champion. Don’t pick him unless you have no one else to look to.
The Luxuriant (M)
Role: Mage – Crowd Control / Sub-DPS
District Gain: S
Obtainability: B
Clan Trait: B
And for our final hero in the C-Tier, it’s the male side of the Luxuriant clan. He has higher stats in Strength and fortitude, but his leadership is lower than his female counterpart. However, the money he can still gain for districts cannot be trifled with.
That is the only aspect that makes him not as low of a tier compared to other heroes. His downsides are far worse, but not much.
His passive, one that weakens the enemies’ Strength lasts for only 5 seconds at the start of the battle. He only has one damage-dealing spell, a decent ability that lowers the fortitude of enemies in front of him. But his ultimate is a hit and a miss combined. He can banish an opponent, making them unable to attack and to be attacked for a short period. It’s not that great, but it’s not bad, either.
Overall, there are better options than him.
F-Tier
Karg (F)
Role: Warriro – Sub-DPS
District Gain: A
Obtainability: B
Clan Trait: C
Starting with the female side of the Karg Clan, they bear the worst stats for a warrior in the game. She is a squishy example of a Champion, with skills that do not complement her stats as it will fail her before she can realize her potential on the battlefield.
Each hit on her makes her stronger, but she’d be dead before she could hit harder. Another is her ultimate—one that permanently turns her into a dragon. The problem is that this ultimate does not provide her a better buff on Strength, made worse that it only lasts for 5 seconds top.
A bad hero to start with and immediately replaced with better ones.
Karg (M)
Role: Warrior – Sub-DPS
District Gain: B
Obtainability: B
Clan Trait: C
The male Karg also suffers from the same deficiency of stats as his female counterpart, though his leadership suffers more from it. Similarly, his skill set also suffers from his lack of better stats.
His passive makes him even stronger for every 3rd hit, and his ultimate skill lasts two times longer and gives him faster attack speed. His first skill inflicts burning damage and fires on the enemy with the lowest health. If not for his bad stats, he would be a tier higher or two.
Karguk (F)
Role: Tank – Sustain
District Gain: B
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: F
Another bad champion is the female Karguk. This soft-faced orc is as soft as her attacks and skills. In fact, her Clan Trait does not mesh well with all of her skills.
She has the ability to stun opponents with her first skill and get health back when an enemy Champion is killed. His ultimate focuses more on her reducing damage taken and removing debuffs. When looking at other tanks with better skills, she comes off as basic in comparisons.
Her ultimate would work if not for its low duration, and her passive gives a small amount of health back for killing an opponent.
An equally bad hero that should be ignored, the female Karguk is a waste of your time.
Huntsdorf (M)
Role: Marksman – Single DPS
District Gain: B
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: C
The eagle-eyed Huntsfdorf clan specializes in sniping out any foes from far distances alongside their quarry to sniff out any opponents. Unfortunately, this rifle-wielding Champion earns the short end of the stick in everything. He has low stats compared to other marksmen Champions, and his abilities lie on his pet.
As the pet’s health is low, it can immediately hamper the viability of the male Huntsdorf. One thing about his skills is that only his pet has the ability to stun, and his ultimate is to maul on the back row target. All of this is naught if the pet dies, which can immediately happen in almost all runs.
The male Huntsdorf has potential, but it got the short end of the stick.
Huntsdorf (F)
Role: Marksman – Single DPS
District Gain: B
Obtainability: C
Clan Trait: C
Similar to her male counterpart, she also summons a pet on her command. As long as the pet is alive, she can deal better damage. However, her skills harm her pet easily, thus removing a distinct advantage she has over any other opponents.
Not only that, said skill only affects the pet. This skill is the worst that you can give to your companion, as compared to her male counterpart’s ability to give it a stunning attack than telling your opponents to kill your squishy pet quickly.
But worst is her ultimate. She lobs low-damage area-of-effect grenades at enemies in attack range. Other heroes can deal better damage than what she did in just 5 grenades alone.
Aside from that, her ultimate is her viable option when her pet dies, thus making her one of the worst characters to exist in the game. That is a warning to not pick this character at all. There’s no point in telling you to pick this character if you have none. You will always have better ones in the store.
Conclusion
And that concludes our tier list for Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas! Don’t worry if you get the worst heroes; it takes time to build a sufficiently good army. Until Bloodstorm arrives, mind you.
Remember that it is still up to you how strong a Champion can be. A badly-built Champion can cripple you more than one that is still fresh from either the summoning circle or any other events in the game. If you want to know how to do so, then check our beginner’s guide for Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas!
