Hero Siege Character Class Tier List

Fans of action role-playing games (RPGs) are likely familiar with Hero Siege, an engaging roguelike hack-and-slash title that debuted in 2014. Recently, this nostalgic game has re-emerged on Steam’s spring sale and has been given a substantial update.

A	Amazon, Necromancer, Demonspawn, Plague Doctor, Illusionist, Demon Slayer, Nomad
B	Exo, Pirate, Pyromancer, Shield Lancer
C	Marauder, Viking, Butcher, Redneck, Shaman

This tier table categorizes all the character classes available in Hero Siege, ranking them from S to C based on performance, skillset, and the ease of leveling. These insights are particularly beneficial for newcomers looking to navigate challenging gameplay quickly.
