Age of Empires Mobile heroes tier list (2024)

Hero	Type
Miyamoto Mushashi	Cavalry
Lu Bu	Cavarly
King Arthur	Cavarly, Swordsmen
Hua Mulan	Archer
Attila the Hun	Archer, Cavalry
Leonidas	Pikemen

At the top of the tier list are obviously the best heroes that you can get. Make sure to use the ones that synergize nicely with the type of army you are trying to build. If you are F2P, I'd suggest you stay away from Cavarly type.

About Hua Mulan

Hua Mulan is a great choice for your archer army. That build focuses on Flying Swallow, Starchaser, Weak Spot Attack, and Double Attack. Her abilities give various buffs such as armor reduction, increased might, and enhanced damage over time.

About King Arthur

King Arthur is currently the only Mythic rarity hero in the game. The only way to unlock him is through a VIP event though. If you somehow get your hands on him, his key skills include "Glory of Knight," which damages multiple enemies and boosts his stats., and "Sword of Radiance," which triggers the Blessing of Glory state, allowing him to ignore a percentage of enemy defences.

About Leonidas

Be it for Sparta or your own kingdom, Leonidas is that guy. He's an amazing choice to lead your pikemen army. In fact, he's the best one. His skill set is somewhat true to his lore as Leonidas gains more power as his army loses troops. He has AoE damage, chances to counterattack, and also buff his soldier's damage. The best talent tree for Leonidas includes skills like Firm Strike, Unyielding Soul, Fearless Retribution, and Whirlwind Sweep.

Hero	Type
Hannibal	Cavalry
Octavian	Pikemen
Justinian the Great	Cavarly
Suleiman	Archer
Tribhuwana	Pikemen, Cavalry
Yodit	Swordsmen
Queen Seondeok	Swordsmen
Sun Tzu	Pikemen, Cavalry
Ram-Khamhaeng	Pikemen
Diao Chan	Cavalry, Archer

A-tier heroes are excellent choices to lead your army. They are just not as overpowered as the S-Tier ones that's all. Especially for the ones who are not looking to spend real money in the game, these heroes will do the job.

About Octavian

Octavian is a great pairing with Leonidas to lead your pikemen army. His active skill adds Supreme Mark stacks whenever heroes use signature turn-based or secondary strike skills within 18 seconds.

About Justinian the Great

Justinian is a top-tier support hero who specializes in troop recovery and buffs that can reduce damage taken. He's a great pair with Cleopatra.

About Tribhuwana

One of the best support heroes in the game, Tribhuwana's skillset is all about buffs and debuffs. Her skills are Regal Radiance, which recovers units and reduces enemy armour. Ode To Java: Increases signature skill activation chance and provides unit recovery. Righteous Judgement: Deals significant damage while debuffing enemy heroes. King's Blade: Enhances damage after normal attacks.

Hero	Type
Boudica	Cavalry
Constantine the Great	Pikemen
King Derrick	Pikemen
Theodora	Archer
Yi Seong Gye	Pikemen, Cavalry
Josephine	Archer, Swordmen
Rani Durgavati	Archer, Cavalry
Cleopatra	Cavalry, Swordsmen
Richard	Pikemen
Sejong The Great	Cavalry

B-Tier heroes perform above average compared to other heroes. So, in other words, they are good overall.

About Josephine

Not often is a starting hero actually good but Josephine is. And, especially if you are F2P, it's very easy to get her medals so I think overall, she's an excellent choice for new players.

Theodora

Another support hero, Theodora can boost troops' damage and reduce damage taken. Pretty much like Cleopatra and Justinian.

Hero	Type
Julius Caesar	Pikemen, Swordsmen
Joan of Arc	Pikemen
Cid	Cavalry
Hammurabi	Swordsmen
Bushra	Pikemen, Cavalry
Tariq	Cavalry
Frederick Barbarossa	Pikemen
Philip IV	Swordsmen
Guan Yu	Cavalry
Bellevue	Archer
Yi Sun-Shin	Archer
Toyotomi Hideyoshi	Swordsmen
Oda Nobunaga	Swordsmen
Tokugawa Ieyasu	Swordsmen

Not a lot to say here. C-Tier Heroes are simply not that good. Or, there are just much better options in Age of Empires Mobile.

That said, you might have to use some of them in the very early stages of the game, like for example, Joan of Arc. Later on, make sure to switch to better ones that fit your type of army.

Ah and don't use your resources on any of them.

Hero	Type
Darius the Great	Pikemen, Swordsmen
Leo	Pikemen
Li Daoxuan	Swordsmen
Leon	Archer
Axel	Cavalry
Baldassi	Swordsmen
Wu Wei	Pikemen
Nino	Swordsmen
Gao Meng	Swordsmen
Gatos	Pikemen
Yuan Xia	Archer
Narses	Cavalry
Luki	Archer
Kaso	Cavalry
Thanius	Pikemen
Clyde	Cavalry
Cui Ruyi	Archer

Usually they save the best for last but I saved the worst ones. So, let's talk about the worst heroes in Age of Empires mobile! How about that? Nah, I don't think so.

Just ignore them, I won't get into any details as to why these heroes rank the way they do. They are just trash.

Keep in mind that this list will probably change with future updates. Maybe we get new heroes or some of the existing ones get their skills rebalanced. So, we suggest you get back to this page from time to time to get the latest Age of Empires Mobile tier list.

And if you're looking for similar content, you'll be pleased to know that we are featuring the Archero 2 tier list, and the Echocalypse tier list where all of the cases are ranked. There are others, but you'll have to look around!
