Among Gods Rang List (November 2022):Ein vollständiger Leitfaden für die besten Helden

Willkommen zurück, Held!

Unter Göttern hat viele Helden – insgesamt 71 zum Zeitpunkt des Schreibens – und jeder von ihnen hat eine Rolle zu spielen. Und zwangsläufig werden einige Helden in bestimmten Rollen besser sein als andere. Aus diesem Grund habe ich diese Ranglisten-Aufschlüsselung der Charaktere entwickelt, um Ihnen zu helfen, Entscheidungen darüber zu treffen, wen Sie verwenden sollten, sowie meine eigene persönliche Rangliste für jeden Helden.

Hinweise und Einschränkungen

Ein paar Dinge, die Sie beachten sollten, bevor wir beginnen.

Helden der B-Rarität werden hier nicht berücksichtigt. Als Faustregel in Heldensammlern wie Among Gods gilt, dass Helden mit allgemeinen Namen es überhaupt nicht wert sind, verwendet zu werden. Ihre einzige wirkliche Rolle besteht darin, als Futter für deine anderen Helden zu dienen.

Helden werden nur durch Hauptrolle getrennt (Krieger/Panzer/Attentäter/Waldläufer/Weise/Magier) und keine Spezialisierung. Dies würde zu viel Spaltung erzeugen und wahrscheinlich zu einem Szenario führen, in dem jeder der Beste in *etwas* ist, was den Zweck der Rangfolge zunichte macht.

Alle Heldenfähigkeiten haben 3-4 Stufen und die numerischen Schritte werden als 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 bezeichnet, wobei jede Klammer diese Stufe darstellt. Zum Beispiel wird eine Fertigkeit, die auf Level 1 100 % Schaden verursacht und 10 % mehr pro Level hinzugewinnt, als 100 % / 110 % / 120 % / 130 % bezeichnet. Wenn Upgrades nicht linear sind, werden sie separat gekennzeichnet. Wenn eine Fertigkeit einen ungleichmäßigen Fortschritt hat (d. h. Schaden auf Stufe 2 und 4, Dauer auf Stufe 3), bezeichne ich jede Stufe separat. Fertigkeiten werden auch als Wut-, 1-, 2- und 3-Fähigkeiten bezeichnet.

Für Fertigkeiten, die sich auf den Helden selbst beziehen, der eine Fertigkeit verwendet, verwende ich den Begriff Zauberer. Anstelle von „Joe of the Green Forest gewinnt 20 % ATK“ sage ich beispielsweise einfach „Caster gewinnt 20 % ATK“. Wenn ich das Wort Caster nicht verwende, vermeide ich zweideutige Formulierungen mit Fähigkeiten, z. B. dass es so klingt, als würden getroffene Ziele einen Buff erhalten.

Da es keine Möglichkeit gibt, Statistiken in der Vorschau anzuzeigen (nein, nicht einmal Basisstatistiken), von denen ich weiß, dass diese Rangliste ausschließlich unter Berücksichtigung der Fähigkeiten eines Helden erstellt wird. Es gibt auch keine Möglichkeit, eine Vorschau eines Helden anzuzeigen um zu versuchen, einige zweideutig formulierte Fähigkeiten zu verstehen, also habe ich nur versucht, einige Fähigkeiten mit gesundem Menschenverstand zu verstehen. Sollte mir dabei ein Fehler unterlaufen, entschuldige ich mich im Voraus.

Schließlich ist diese, wie alle Ranglisten, subjektiv. Ihre eigene Erfahrung kann und wird höchstwahrscheinlich variieren. Nichts hindert Sie daran, zu verwenden, wen Sie verwenden möchten (was wahrscheinlich der beste Ratschlag in jedem Sammlerspiel ist), und zum Teufel, Sie können sogar selbst auf einige ziemlich verrückte Strategien kommen!

Vor diesem Hintergrund ist hier meine Rangliste aller Helden in Among Gods, die keine B-Rarität sind.

Liste der Kriegerstufen

S-Stufe

Edward

SS Korrupter Krieger/AOE

Wenn der echte Edward der Schwarze Prinz diese Ausrüstung hatte, ist es kein Wunder, dass er während des Hundertjährigen Krieges so viel Erfolg hatte.

Die Version von Edward aus Among Gods ist ein Titan auf dem Schlachtfeld, der mit seinen Flüchen Zwietracht in den feindlichen Reihen sät die sowohl seine Feinde schwächen als auch ihn stärken. Diese Flüche verleihen Edward sowohl einen behelfsmäßigen AOE-Effekt als auch eine Möglichkeit, über seinen erzwungenen Teleport auf Feinde mit hoher ATK/niedriger DEF zu schießen – und er hat die Ausrüstung, um den Schaden für jeden, den er zieht, zu maximieren. Magier, ich sehe dich an.

Je länger der Kampf dauert und je länger du Edward am Leben halten kannst, desto stärker wird er. Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass Sie mit genügend Unterstützung theoretisch jede feindliche Einheit verfluchen können, wodurch Edward satte 25 % passive Schadensresistenz erhält. Verfluchte Feinde werden zusätzlich dadurch geschwächt, dass sie ihre Fähigkeiten nicht einsetzen können, während sie sich vor dem Ansturm des Schwarzen Prinzen ducken.

A-Stufe

Boudica

S Justice Warrior/Panzer

Ja, Boudicca in diesem Spiel wird mit zwei C geschrieben. So wurde ihr Name in einigen Geschichtsbüchern geschrieben. Aber dieses Mal hat sie auch einen Stand. Sehen.

Boudiccas Ausrüstung dreht sich um ihre Vision:Sie dupliziert ihre Wut-Fähigkeit, wenn sie sie einsetzt, was ihren Schadensausstoß erheblich verbessert. Wenn Boudicca andere Offensivfähigkeiten hätte, wäre die Vision kaputt, aber so wie sie ist, ist sie sehr schön. Selbst ohne die Wut-Skill-Duplizierung dient ihre Vision als zusätzliches Ziel und Ablenkung – und wenn sie lange genug am Leben bleibt, kann sie ihr als letzter Wutausbruch dienen, um ihre Fertigkeit zu aktivieren.

Arthur

S Justice Warrior/Panzer

König Artus profitiert aufgrund seiner Seltenheit von soliden Werten sowie einer unkomplizierten, sachlichen Ausrüstung, mit der er in fast jeder Situation glänzen kann. Seine Wut-Fertigkeit hat den doppelten Zweck, sowohl Schaden zu verursachen als auch ihn für einen sehr respektablen Teil des verursachten Schadens zurückzuheilen, und seine Schadensresistenz von 90 % stellt so gut wie sicher, dass frontalgeladene Angriffe vor ihm zusammenbrechen.

Spartakus

S Justice Warrior/Panzer

Spartacus setzt den Trend von Nahkämpfern fort, die das Beste aus Krieger- und Panzerbaum herausholen. Im Fall von Spartacus liegt es an seiner 3-Fähigkeit, die ihm im Wesentlichen ein zweites Leben auf dem Schlachtfeld ermöglicht. Das macht ihn unglaublich störend, da Feinde, die einen Feind ins Visier nehmen, absolut nichts davon haben, Spartacus anzugreifen.

Der Rest seiner Ausrüstung ist nicht besonders bemerkenswert, aber auch nicht schlecht. Es ist einfach da.

Miyamoto Musashi

S Neutraler Krieger/AOE

Miyamoto Musashis meisterhafte Schwertkunst ist eine seltene und angenehme Überraschung – er ist ein Krieger, der nicht abtankt, sondern sich dafür entscheidet, sowohl mit seinen Fähigkeiten als auch mit seinem Blutungsstatus-Effekt Schaden zu verursachen. Und das ist etwas, was er sehr gut kann:Bluten stapelt sich mit sich selbst, und jeder Stapel von Bluten löst großen Schaden aus, wenn er seine Rage-Fertigkeit auslöst. Insgesamt ein sehr solider Charakter.

B-Klasse

Xiang Yu

S böser Krieger/AOE

Xiang Yu ist fast, fast ein guter Charakter. Er hat eine solide Ausrüstung, aber das Problem ist, dass sie im Gegensatz zu Kriegern der A-Stufe nicht ausreicht. Seine Verteidigungsreduzierung basiert auf Zufall und seine Verlangsamungen töten den Feind nicht schneller. Theoretisch ist seine ATK-Ramping-Fähigkeit nett, aber es ist wirklich einfach, sie abzuschalten, da Xiang Yu keine Kontrollimmunität oder Unverwundbarkeit bietet.

Cú Chulainn

S böser Krieger/AOE

Cú Chulainn (fast wie Coo-cullen) ist ein weiterer Gimmick-Charakter, dessen Shtick sich auf seine Beschwörung verlässt, um Schaden zu verursachen. Er hat auch eine optisch ordentliche, aber spielerische Meh-Transformationssache am Laufen. Sie können die Wölfe zugunsten seiner Temptation of Blood vollständig ignorieren , das Ihrem Team ein wenig mehr Durchhaltevermögen verleiht, indem es jedem Lebensraub gibt. Aber das allein reicht nicht aus, um diesen Helden zu retten.

Tutanchamun

Ein Gerechtigkeitskrieger/AOE

Tutanchaten ist ein guter Krieger, der von seinen von Natur aus niedrigeren Statistiken im Stich gelassen wird, weil er nur ein Held der A-Rarität ist. Seine Ausrüstung ist überraschend solide, obwohl der Bonusschaden für Schilde und der winzige Multiplikator auf seinem DOT super enttäuschend sind. Nichtsdestotrotz ist Tutanchamun ein geradliniger, einfach zu handhabender Held und wird dir gute Dienste leisten, bis du einen Ersatz für ihn findest.

Alfred

Ein korrupter Krieger/AOE

Abgesehen vom albernen Namen ist Alfred ziemlich anständig. Der Verlust von 10 % HP bei seinem Rage-Skill ist seltsam fehl am Platz (vielleicht um seinen 3-Skill auszulösen?), aber er hat gute Multiplikatoren. Seelenbrecher ist auch eine gute Möglichkeit, einen Gegner niederzuschlagen, da der Verteidigungs-Debuff sowohl kräftig als auch garantiert ist.

C-Stufe

Tutanchamun

Ein neutraler Krieger/AOE

Obwohl es sich um eine Neufärbung von Tutanchamun handelt, ist Tutanchamun irgendwie schlimmer. Seine Multiplikatoren sind aus irgendeinem Grund niedriger als Tuthankhaten. Er hat auch diese seltsame Off-Tank-Sache, die einfach nicht funktioniert. Und seinen Staubsturm ist objektiv schlechter, da es ihm nicht hilft, schneller zu töten. Wenigstens hatte Tutanchamun einen satten 50 % Def-Debuff auf seinem Sturm.

Mori Yoshinari

Ein böser Krieger/AOE

Mori Yoshinari macht nicht viel alleine. Er ist besser in einer unterstützenden Rolle … aber selbst das ist zweifelhaft, da sein Debuff von einer niedrigen Auslösechance von 30 % abhängt, die an seine 2-Fähigkeit gebunden ist. Er ist einfach in Ordnung. Es gibt nicht viel über ihn zu sagen, außer zu ersetzen, wenn Sie die Gelegenheit dazu haben.

Panzerstufenliste

S-Stufe

Harald

SS Korrupter Panzer/Kontrolle

Warnung hier:Viele von Haralds Fähigkeiten sind sehr zweideutig formuliert, also habe ich versucht, das Beste daraus zu machen, was die Mechanik angeht.

Was SS-Raritäten-Helden angeht, ist Harald der am wenigsten beeindruckende von ihnen. Das macht ihn nicht schlecht, da er immer noch Panzerhelden im Spiel überschattet, und (gut für ihn) Angel Joan wird nicht als Panzer eingestuft.

Haralds Wut-Fähigkeit wurde speziell dafür entwickelt, diese lästigen Waldläufer und Magier in die Reichweite der Nahkampfangriffe Ihres Teams zu ziehen. Das macht Harald zu einem Pseudo-Attentäter; In Verbindung mit seinen vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, sowohl Schaden zu mindern als auch feindliche ATK zu reduzieren, sollten Sie mit diesem Riesen kein Problem haben, die Hinterreihe des Feindes zu schnappen. Zusammen mit seiner Schadensresistenz (zumindest glaube ich, es ist Schadensresistenz …) Buff zu Beginn des Kampfes und jedes Mal, wenn er seinen Haken wirft, bedeutet Haralds inhärenter Bulk, dass er die Bemühungen überlebt, ihn zu fokussieren, und er ' wird wahrscheinlich ein paar hintere Feinde töten, bevor er zu Boden geht. WENN der Feind das schafft.

Roland

S Justice Tank/Panzer

Roland ist der seltene Panzer ohne Schnickschnack oder Gimmicks. Was er auf den Tisch bringt, ist Schadensminderung, schlicht und einfach. Macht ihn das schlecht? Absolut nicht. Im Gegenteil, diese Art von Konsistenz ist überraschenderweise sehr selten, und wenn Sie zuverlässige Schadensreduzierung und Schilde für alle wollen, liefert dieser Paladin definitiv.

Rolands Schilde haben mehrere Zwecke:Sie absorbieren Schaden und löschen magischen Schaden vollständig aus, und Debuffs löschen, wenn du genug in ihn investierst. Als ob das nicht genug wäre, hat er auch Zugriff auf eine zuverlässige Betäubung, die mit einem permanenten Angriffs-Debuff einhergeht! Oh, und diese Betäubung verursacht magischen Schaden auf einen physischen Charakter.

A-Stufe

Erich

S Böser Panzer/Panzer

He’s big, he’s disruptive, he gets in the way of enemies and he’s great at keeping himself alive. Eric the Bloodaxe is a highway decent tank who has some extra baggage attached to him, but doesn’t cause him to forget his primary role of shielding allies.

Getting the most out of Eric requires you to level up his rage skill to level 2, as that’s his primary means of disruption. But there’s more:while the damage isn’t necessary, the fact that it scales off max HP means that Eric can chip in when it comes to dealing damage. He can further protect his allies if his rage skill is maxed out, for a potential -75% ATK debuff on foes!

B-Klasse

La Hire

A Justice Tank/Tank

La Hire is the first unit you actually get, and he serves as your main tank for most of the game until you can pull a better one. Tank-wise, La Hire is adequate; his Arming passive skill nets him a large amount of both flat and scaling HP, and his Wrath of Glory rage skill has a guaranteed stun.

La Hire’s main problem is consistency:his Aftershock debuffs are nice to have, but they’re dependent on RNG with his 2 and 3 skills. If I was looking for debuffs, I’d rather have someone with a guaranteed infliction rate as 30% attack and movement speed reduction is nothing to scoff at. Shame.

Bayard

S Justice Tank/Tank

Knight Bayard is the knight of super ambiguous wording. If you don’t believe me, pull up the game right now and read his skills. I’ll wait.

Going off basic game sense and the fact that he isn’t an SS hero, I’m going to assume that Bayard’s passives actually only reduce the damage he takes, rather than applying a 70% damage debuff to every enemy. While this does give him great survivability, part of a tank’s kit is also about directing damage to themselves or grabbing aggro, and Bayard’s incredible traveling circus of a rage skill displaces him. While it does provide a damage mitigation field, placing it is a bit iffy, and benefits other melee heroes more than squishy backrow heroes who’ll probably need it more.

Overall, Bayard is an okay, if gimmicky tank.

Darius

S Neutral Tank/Tank

If you thought Bayard was gimmicky, meet Darius. No matter how I try to make sense of his kit, the end result is the same. Max HP damage is theoretically good if it wasn’t so piddling. Assuming Darius can drain 1 soul per enemy, that’s a cap of 5 souls; and if the heal/max HP damage is per soul, that’s a whopping (no not really) 5% max HP damage. Hoo-rah.

What we have here is a tank that tries to use dark knight-esque mechanics, using HP as a tool to deal damage. The problem with this is that the cap on this damage is absurdly low and actually scales off ATK, not HP. HP is about the only thing Darius can do right – his damage mitigation benefits him and him alone, and he’s trying to prove himself worthy of everyone else’s job.

While warriors that do off-tank duty are acceptable, the opposite is rarely true, and it’s really only thanks to his rarity that Darius gets a higher spot on this list – owing to the fact that rarity more often than not dictates stats. The fact that his skill translations are weird (seriously, Soul Shock first says it generates shield based on ATK, then damage dealt?) and his unique mechanic has zero explanation really doesn’t help his case. Go sit on the bench, Darius.

Maeda Keiji

S Neutral Tank/Tank

As if weird “tanks” like Darius weren’t enough, we now have a tank that is actively trying to kill himself. Meet Maeda Keiji, pyromaniac.

To be fair, Maeda Keiji has a slew of ways to recover or boost his own health, and his rage skill is very disruptive, which is fantastic for a tank. The bad thing is that Maeda Keiji doesn’t focus on tank duty:most of his self-damaging skills deal damage instead of boosting his own survivability, or better yet, that of his allies.

Lucullus

S Neutral Tank/Tank

As a tank, Lucullus has some solid foundations only to be let down as the rest of his kit unfolds. His rage skill is pretty great, and I’ll never say no to an AOE disarm that also stuns, as well as a hefty 40% ATK debuff in a line. The trouble with Lucullus is staying power. I’m really not a fan of chance-based defenses, which is what block is. While he’s not bad per se, it’s well worth looking into a more consistent tank.

D-Tier

Lucius

A Evil Tank/AOE

If you haven’t picked up on it yet, I don’t like dodge or block-based tanks, as the longer the battle goes on, the more likely RNG will roll against you. Lucius is the epitome of these, skipping C-tier to go straight to D-tier. He has a passive that heals him when he dodges, which makes it seem like he’s got good dodge, right? No, he only has one way to help him avoid damage.

But Lucius does have 100% dodge rate on one thing:being in my formations. Seriously, you get La Hire for free. Why switch to this bozo?

Assassin Tier List

S-Stufe

Mata Hari

S Justice Assassin/Reap

Mata Hari, despite her real-life fame (or infamy), has a very simple, no-nonsense kit in Among Gods. As befitting her assassin role, Mata Hari can single out a foe with her rage skill, further rewarding her if she lands a kill. Her Strangling passive helps greatly with this, decreasing the DEF and M.DEF of low-health foes and increasing crit rate for both herself and allies. Overall, Mata Hari rocks consistent performance with a solid kit.

Chevalier d’Eon

S Justice Assassin/AOE

Thankfully the Chevalier d’Eon was knighted, because I can see how saying Charles-Geneviève-Louis-Auguste-André-Timothée d’Eon de Beaumont could get really old really fast.

The Chevalier d’Eon was, at many points of their life, a fighter, a knight, a diplomat, a spy, and a hero. Fortunately, their role in Among Gods isn’t as complicated. What they excel in is damage, and lots of it. It’s important to note how their approach to damage is in combo hits, meaning that they’ll benefit more from crit rate boosts and damage than other heroes. Thankfully, Blade Strike by itself provides a hefty 25% crit rate buff.

The Chevalier’s swordplay comes to a head in their rage skill, which – thanks to its unique targeting – is guaranteed to hit where it’ll likely hurt the most. That by itself is already great, but it also silences and debuffs ATK. This not only paves the way for them to attack with impunity, but also opens up the enemy team to focused assault by your heroes.

A-Stufe

Guy Fawkes

S Neutral Assassin/Reap

Guy Fawkes is a pretty conventional assassin, though I have to say I’m surprised his character design both looks Middle Eastern and does not incorporate explosives in any way. That aside, he’s got a solid kit:guaranteed AOE damage on his rage skill, sniping capabilities with his 3 skill, and defense peeling and most importantly rage steal. While he’s not as flashy as other assassins like Mata Hari or Ashoka, Guy Fawkes does what an assassin does best – picking off targets swiftly and effectively.

Hattori Hanzo

S Evil Assassin/Reap

Hattori Hanzo is the person you think about when you say “ninja”. This master of assassination excels at dealing great burst damage to individual targets and capitalizing on the results of these attempts. Hanzo not only has great damage tools at his disposal, but also has self-sustain and snowball potential, thanks to his rage skill triggering permanent stat gains whether or not he kills with it. He’s also surprisingly slippery and reliable for a dodge-based character thanks to his Evasion buff, though you should still take caution as it has a long cooldown between procs.

B-Klasse

Ashoka the Great

S Justice Assassin/Debuff

Ashoka is an inconventional assassin who plays more of a supporting role in combat. His unique Phoenix Fire debuff forms the center of his kit.

This debuff inflicts a powerful 20% damage resistance debuff to all enemies, which is incredibly potent and always welcome. This is further amplified by his rage skill, which boosts the damage resistance debuff to 40%:that’s almost a full 50% of extra damage!

In a vacuum, Ashoka isn’t particularly strong. However, he shines when paired with a team – especially other warriors and assassins who can focus down a tough enemy when his Phoenix Fire burns their defenses down, or characters who can reliably inflict burn on their own.

C-Tier

Gareth

A Justice Assassin/Reap

Gareth’s got a ho-hum kit that’s perfect with his perfectly generic character design. There’s not much to say about him other than he’s free. He’s theoretically a sturdy assassin thanks to his block buffs, but let’s not mince words:chance-based defenses always lose out to consistent tactics. Besides, an assassin should be killing foes first and protecting themselves second.

Ranger Tier List

S-Stufe

Robin Hood

S Justice Ranger/Debuff

The lack of a trial mode in this game really hurts, as I’d like to run some experiments with our friend from Sherwood Forest. And in usual roguish fashion, he’s left a lot for us to decipher (yes, he has two skills called Sniping). But no matter how you slice it, Robin Hood is an incredible ranger who takes top slot in his class category as there’s no SS ranger (yet).

Rain of Arrows :homing or not, this skill hurts. If it hits an area, you’ll ideally want to pair Robin Hood with someone who can stun, knockdown or lock enemies in place so that they stay in the danger zone longer. And that’s not a typo:the more an enemy gets hit by the rain, the more it’ll hurt.

This skill by itself already makes Robin Hood great, but he had to go and add poison damage to his arsenal, as well as a way to pseudo-AOE by splitting shots and inflicting all his foes with poison. Just like with his rage skill (probably), you’ll want to pair Robin Hood with a merry man (or woman) who can inflict slow as Robin Hood inflicts 2 stacks per hit instead of 1 on a slowed target.

Temujin

S Evil Ranger/AOE

Where Robin Hood takes the route of a stacking AOE and debuffs, Temujin prefers the more direct approach. The khan uses his arrows to deal impressive amounts of physical damage to his foes, picking them off with ease while his allies are busy on the frontlines. Temujin has a special hatred for shielded targets, so you can leave them to him as he does a ton of bonus damage to them.

As he goes into machine gun mode after his rage skill, it’s a good idea to pair Temujin with someone who can buff his attack or crit rate/damage even more to maximize his damage output.

Oda Nobunaga

S Evil Ranger/AOE

He has a shotgun. 10/10.

Once you’re done admiring the firearms, you can have a realistic look at his kit. And it does not disappoint. Where Robin Hood is the status archer and Temujin the constant DPS, Nobunaga is the sniper, with a whopping 622% damage on his rage skill that can’t be avoided. As if that wasn’t enough, he also has some rage generation buffs and a way to deal with multiple enemies at once, though it’s not as impressive as his rage skill.

A-Stufe

Tomyris

S Justice Ranger/AOE

Tomyris is an above-average ranger that serves as both DPS and as support. Her rage skill allows her to deal a hefty chunk of damage to the most dangerous foe on the field while also disarming them, which is more than enough to give her a slot in the upper tiers of rangers.

Apart from this, Tomyris boasts a solid kit that, most prominently, helps her allies out by giving them range while fueling Tomyris’ own attack speed. All in all, she’s a good hero with no particular weaknesses.

Agrippa

S Neutral Ranger/AOE

Agrippa is a by-the-books DPS ranger:steroids for boosting his damage (at the cost of removing his own rage regen), augments to his normal attacks, and a fast support AOE. As with other normal attack boosted heroes, Agrippa works best when paired with supports that increase his attack speed, allowing him to proc Vampiric Strike almost constantly. Just watch out for the no rage regen:that can get nasty fast.

B-Klasse

Nasu no Yoichi

A Neutral Ranger/AOE

I honestly have no idea what Break Rate is, and Nasu no Yoichi is the only character in the game that mentions it. Ignoring all that stuff, what we have here is a great sniper. There are very few heroes, even among S and SS-rarity ones, that have such a huge multiplier on their rage skill. Use this to your advantage:buff Nasu no Yoichi, let loose with a big shot. Rinse and repeat.

D-Tier

Duke William

A Evil Ranger/AOE

Snowballing damage is good, but the way Duke William goes about it is incredibly lame. His crit buff barely raises the chance – 15% that doesn’t increase at all, and the only guaranteed crit he lands is his explosion via rage skill. Which, by the way, is dependent on enemies being lined up in a row to maximize damage.

Just use Nasu no Yoichi.

Sage Tier List

S-Stufe

Joan of Arc (Angel)

SS Holy Sage/Heal

Did I mention that SS characters are utterly bonkers? Because here’s a great example. Angel Joan is literally too holy to die. While her role is marked as sage/healer, she pulls extra duty as a super durable tank thanks to her ridiculous array of damage reduction abilities. She even passively pulls damage towards herself, allowing you to field squishier allies in Joan’s formation. And to top it all off, she has so many ways to heal both herself and her allies. You probably won’t even need to run a secondary healer in her party.

A-Stufe

Caesar

S Neutral Sage/Buff

Good emperors know how to delegate tasks to those below them, and that’s exactly what Caesar does. As a dedicated support, Caesar inspires his allies to glory and victory while chipping in with some damage and heals from time to time. By spurring his comrades to heroic deeds by feeding them rage and powerful (and potentially permanent) ATK buffs, Caesar can rest on his laurels knowing that he’s welcome in any team.

Shizuka Gozen

S Neutral Sage/Buff

I hate random buffs, but the ones that Shizuka Gozen offers are way too good to pass up on. Continuous healing, damage mitigation, and boosted normal attack damage? Ja bitte. What really seals the deal is Shizuka’s Falling Flowers , which essentially doubles the value of her heals and buffs as they’ll always affect her too while the flowers are up.

Galenus

S Neutral Sage/Heal

Galenus is one of two dedicated healers in the game. Because of this, he’s automatically placed pretty high on this tier list. A trial mode would have been really nice for him, but I’m going to assume that each potion that his rage skill throws heals for the amount listed. The alternative is that he heals 12% max HP which is probably not the case as that’s an incredibly piddling amount.

There’s not much to say about Galenus, other than he keeps your other guys alive. He does give a 10% (permanent?) ATK buff, as well as a temporary DEF buff, but that’s about it.

Nostradamus

S Evil Sage/Debuff

Yes, Nostradamus was a doctor. No, he did not throw explosive potions and censers in real life, but who cares – it’s cool. Know what else is cool? His rage skill. That stuff not only deals respectable damage on its own (totalling to just above 400% for its full duration), but it also serves as both a hefty debuff AND a powerful buff. That alone makes Nostradamus worth using, but no, he also serves as an off-healer and can do some crazy shenanigans with his Rain of Weakness. Pair him either with someone who can lock enemies in place to maximize his rage skill, or someone who seriously displaces enemies to maximize his movement to damage gimmick.

B-Klasse

Joan of Arc

A Justice Sage/Buff

Like La Hire, Joan of Arc is one of the first characters you get. And like La Hire, Joan is pretty adequate until you get somebody better.

Her knockdown on rage is particularly nice as it gives you a reliable pseudo-stun that works even well into the game. Joan of Arc’s problem is that despite being a buffer, her buffs are neither particularly impactful nor long-lasting. Extra defense is nice, but other supports come with that skill too. Extra rage in a vacuum isn’t particularly useful either, except on specific heroes – which means that it’s not universally applicable to any team, and the ATK buff is insultingly low.

Julia Vipsania Agrippina

A Neutral Sage/Heal

There are very few dedicated healers in Among Gods, and you’re guaranteed to get one of them – Julia Vipsania Agrippina – just by playing through the campaign. Despite not having a very flashy kit, she’ll provide adequate healing for your party throughout the campaign. Though replace her with Galenus if you get him.

Mage Tier List

S-Stufe

Charlemagne

SS Holy Mage/AOE

Of course, the rarest heroes have the best toys to play with. Charlemagne is no exception here:his rage skill is a nuke that’s hard to predict but always hits hard owing to its random targeting, and can be further augmented by his Intimidate mechanic. Charlemagne further augments his nuking abilities with a passive that raises his already respectable skill damage even further, as well as a frontline-hitting nuke that not only has a big multiplier, but also silences.

A-Stufe

Abe no Seimei

S Neutral Mage/AOE

This astrologer and spiritualist is certainly a powerful addition to any team in Among Gods. Abe no Seimei presents a constant threat throughout the entire battle:either deal with him quickly, or fall prey to his snowballing rage skill. The longer you keep him alive, the more talismans he can generate – and the more deadly his rage skill becomes. While the random targeting nature of his rage skill can be iffy, it can hit the same target more than once, and the rage drain, while not the primary point of the skill, is a very nice bonus.

Merlin

S Neutral Mage/AOE

The mighty Merlin proves that his magical prowess is still incredibly formidable. His rage skill, Meteor Fire , isn’t too strong on paper – but it’s 4-5 hits, and at maximum level, spearheads the rest of your team’s magical attacks by shredding 20% magic resistance. The rest of his kit is short and sweet – a fireball that does respectable nuke damage in an area with a crit debuff, and a heavy, long-lasting disable.

Nero

S Evil Mage/AOE

Nero brings respectable AOE damage to the table (it’s not really AOE, it just happens to hit everybody), but that’s not all that the ex-emperor offers. His kit revolves around his unique Nature debuff, which both augments the damage he does and gives his rage skill random micro-stuns. While you shouldn’t be using Nero solely for these stuns – and you should have a dedicated stunner – they are nonetheless incredibly potent in battle.

B-Klasse

Wang Zhaojun

S Justice Mage/Control

Wang Zhaojun is a debuffer. The problem with her is that while her debuffs are unquestionably good, they’re not universally useful. Sure, rage down is great for disabling enemies, but supposing the enemy team runs a rage-generating composition, what do we do? All in all, I’d rather hit the enemy’s stats directly – at least those are always useful.

Gilles de Rais

S Evil Mage/Control

I guess all that murder paid off for Among Gods’ version of Gilles de Rais, as he’s somehow become a demonologist? Vampire? Demon vampire.

As a mage, Gilles de Rais has a respectable damage output with his blood pools and bats. But the main reason you’ll be using him is because of his displacement abilities. Both his rage skill and his 3 skill make Gilles de Rais incredibly disruptive – though the 3 skill may also lead to his swift demise, and you have little control over when and where he uses it, which can be a very big liability.

Do note that while his forced teleport is iffy, it also inflicts a huge damage reduction penalty to its target. It’s a good idea to have someone on standby to capitalize on this, as bluebeard himself is ill-suited to take advantage of it.

Morgan le Fay

A Evil Mage/AOE

You get Morgan le Fay for free, and she’s an okay unit. Her Waterspout rage skill is pretty decent, and becomes much better once you unlock her stun. The rest of her kit is also pretty good at dealing AOE damage, and while she’s outperformed by higher rarity heroes, she’ll work just fine until you can get a rarer hero to replace her.

And no, there’s no indication whether it’s her or her elemental that gains the attack buff for her 3 skill.

C-Tier

Mary I

S Neutral Mage/AOE

Once again we run into heroes dealing max HP damage (which is good) held back by pathetic amounts of it. Damage-wise, Mary isn’t going to be doing anything worthwhile. She’s better in a support role as micro-stuns can be surprisingly potent, but the lack of targeting options makes even this iffy. All in all, just try to use somebody else.

Cleopatra

S Neutral Mage/AOE

Cleopatra is free for new players. Normally, the free unit you get is an all-rounder unit. Not in this case.

What Cleopatra does well, she does very, very well. Demonic Beauty is a really potent control skill that not only strips your opponent of an ally, but gains you a new friend for a short while. But apart from that, the rest of her kit is lackluster. Her mummies have woefully low ATK and health, and the fact they scale off Cleopatra’s own meh HP doesn’t help their case. While her stats are higher than the A-rarity heroes you’ve been pulling, and she’s a decent nuker, it’s also advised to replace Cleopatra as soon as you can.

Queen Akinny

A Neutral Mage/AOE

Queen Akinny is…okay. She’s got some questionable things in her kit:the magic defense buff from her rage skill doesn’t help her kill faster, and her comeback mechanic is hilariously bad. While her nuke is pretty good, the rest of her kit doesn’t synergize into what you would deem a “good mage”.

Ellie

A Holy Mage/Debuff

For a debuffer, Ellie has really lousy debuffs. At least her rage skill is an AOE, but if it’s a choice of AOE, you have better same-rarity heroes like Akinny (even if the rest of her kit is bad) or Morgan le Fay, who is free.

Make Your Own Judgment Calls

As I mentioned when we started, this list is subjective and based on my own experience. It’s ultimately up to you to pick which heroes you want to use, and if you believe in them enough, I’m certain you can find a way to make them work!
