Despite having over 100 heroes to choose from, given that Arena of Valor is a MOBA title, the game will always feature some characters that are a lot more well-rounded than the others.

The heroes featured in the Arena of Valor tier list above are all this season's meta picks - meaning they're common sights in public matches and common picks and bans in ranked. You're free to play any hero you wish, but these are common picks for a reason. They get results.

Tanks are durable and sustain-heavy heroes who prefer to stand on the frontlines of the team, blocking enemies from easily ganking the squishy damage dealers on your team. The tier list above should paint a picture of which are the best tanks for the job and which tend to buckle under the pressure of other meta picks.

The best Arena of Valor warriors can sustain much longer than assassins. They swap out bursts for steady, sustainable damage, along with plenty of ways to disengage, reposition, and dive back in, keeping the pressure on.

Usually equipped with various crowd-control and mobility skills, Warriors can find a way out of most sticky situations. The Arena of Valor tier list above should indicate which warriors work best these days.

Assassins in Arena of Valor, like most MOBAs, prefer to stay away from the lanes early on, training up in the jungles before sneaking in to snipe enemies on behalf of their laning teammates. The best tend to rely on landing quick-fire combos and require a keen eye to spot an open opportunity. Look above to see some of the best picks in the role.

Mages featured in Arena of Valor typically start off from the mid-lane and are capable of dealing massive bursts of magical damage from the very early stages of a game.

These heroes are often equipped with crowd-controlling abilities to make up for what they lack in escape mechanics. They can't take much damage, but they can certainly deal more than their fair share, and those in the Arena of Valor tier list above are the best of the lot.

ADC heroes are the ones most players tend to flock to. The ones that try to deal the most damage in the team, sitting on the back lines gunning down targets who struggle to catch up without meeting their grisly end.

They're not only the ones most likely to carry a team to victory - hence the name - but to drag them into the depths of defeat as well with brave yet brash attempts to bite off more than they can reasonably chew. It's a dangerous world to play ADC, but those high on the Arena of Valor tier list will stand a better chance at ripping through the competition.

There are not a lot of options to choose from when it comes to Support heroes in Arena of Valor, but that doesn't mean they're incapable of holding up a team's strategy. The best Arena of Valor support tier list reflects picks able to shield, heal, and otherwise support the team with crowd-control skills and other means of keeping them safe and setting up proper team fights.

Who is the new Arena of Valor hero?

There has been no confirmation about the newest hero yet, but rumors have it that Charlotte is the name of the next Arena of Valor hero.

New hero releases in Arena of Valor often feature characters that are far from being optimally balanced.

Like Quillen when he was first released, a new character is often broken and usually throws the meta off for a few weeks. So, if you are a believer in any new character simply being the best, Ming is definitely the best choice for now.
