Pocket Gamer’s version 2.1 tier list, updated September 2, 2026, places Apex – Queen Mother and twelve other heroes in SS, but its central advice is to build around team synergy rather than chase a single high-tier summon. Below is the full ranking snapshot and the guide’s Guest-account reroll procedure, with platform limits made clear.
How to use this tier list
This ranking is Pocket Gamer’s editorial assessment, not an official game ranking or a measured win-rate chart. The guide does not publish a numerical scoring rubric or summon probabilities. Treat it as a dated snapshot and recheck it after major roster or balance updates. Pocket Gamer’s version 2.1 guide was updated September 2, 2026, and names Apex – Queen Mother as its latest addition.
Heroes of Crown: Legends is described by its publisher as a fantasy idle RPG built around hero recruitment, team-building and synergy, strategic battles, idle progression, guild battles and PvP. That context matters: an overall tier label cannot determine which hero is best for every team, stage or game mode. The Google Play listing from Ujoy Games identifies Android and Windows availability; its copy was updated July 23, 2026.

Some names are spelled inconsistently in the guide. Check the in-game roster spelling when searching for or selecting a specific hero.

Team synergy matters more than an isolated tier
Pocket Gamer’s guide says Nimbus currently dominates the meta and Heyday ranks second. It identifies Nuwa as key to a Nimbus team and says Wu Zetian can work with Rainbow Feather – Yang Yu Huan. Those are the guide author’s assessments, not independently verified balance data.

- Building a main team: consider whether you can assemble a coherent faction or complementary lineup, not just whether you own one SS hero.
- Choosing for a specific mode: the guide cautions that solo Endless Abyss performance alone is not enough to change a hero’s overall ranking. A mode-specific result does not automatically make that hero the strongest general choice.
- Filling later teams: the guide places God Heir, Apocalypse and Heaven heroes in A tier and suggests they can serve as a third team. Its B tier is described as useful for early progression, Starburst Resonance, Elemental Tower or a backup third team; C tier is characterized as fodder or secondary utility. These recommendations depend on your progression and mode.
How to reroll an account
Pocket Gamer describes an Android-style reset path using a Guest account and device app settings. It is not confirmed as a universal procedure across platforms.
- Start as a Guest. Do not bind the account to email or social accounts before deciding whether to keep it.
- Finish the tutorial and summon. Use the free summons, claim available rewards and redeem any currently valid codes for Diamonds.
- Decide how far to progress. Spend the rewards on summons, or continue to stage 2-2; Pocket Gamer says an additional set of 10x summon tickets is available there.
- Reset if you want to try again. On Android, the guide’s path is device Settings → Apps → Heroes of Crown, then clear data and cache before starting over.
The source does not establish that clearing app data works on every Android device, that an unbound Guest account can be recovered, or that resets behave the same way on Windows. A reset may not be available or reliable on your platform, so do not bind an account you want to keep until you understand the game’s account options. The publisher listing mentions randomized items and in-app purchases; rerolling does not guarantee a particular hero.
