[Hero Wars Guide]The 2023 Winter Update: Tier List Changes & Impact

Contents

How the Tier List Will Change in the Future

The dominance of Physical DPS is diminishing as armor buffs gain more potency.
Nevertheless, the defensive meta still leans heavily towards Physical DPS. No abrupt shift seems imminent.
The gap between powerful and weaker heroes has narrowed, although the impact on their relative tiers hasn’t been significant thus far.

Balancing considerations are underway, and the introduction of additional battle flags might influence the effectiveness of certain heroes in the future.
However, the likelihood of game-changing adjustments is minimal for three reasons:
1. The existing flags will undergo only slight rebalancing.
2. Historical Hero Wars enhancements have seen few game-changers.
3. All flags and patterns can be obtained without payment, as explicitly stated.
Not a confirmed fact, but a prediction based on the current situation.

Year-end heroes tend to be overpowered each year.
Aidan, the 2023 year-end hero, also boasts considerable strength (not a DPS, so the impression that he is user-friendly may be accurate).
The likelihood of encountering a hero as recognizable and formidable as Dante or Ishmael is low. However, it’s highly probable that heroes like Sebastian, with promising development potential, will emerge.

Thus far, the 2023 update feels like a nuanced balancing act, akin to previous years’ updates.
However, year-end heroes have consistently prompted significant balance adjustments. This remains a focal point of concern.
