Epic Seven Tier List: Ultimate Meta Breakdown from a Player’s POV
What’s the Big Deal About an Epic Seven Tier List?
Hey summoners! If you’ve been grinding Epic Seven, you know the question on everyone’s mind is: “Who should I build?” That’s where an Epic Seven tier list comes in clutch. It’s my go-to guide for hero priorities, especially when every material and gear stat matters. Whether you’re fresh off the tutorial or deep into 1,000+ days of content, this breakdown will help ensure your pull and build decisions pack the most punch.
A. Why Use a Tier List?
Hero Investment Focus: It helps you funnel resources into heroes who shine across multiple game modes—maximizing mileage from every bit of fodder and gear.
Meta Clarity: With tons of heroes in the game, tier lists weed out the niche or outdated units and highlight the ones performing at the top tier.
B. How This Tier List Works
Criteria: DPS, utility, survivability across PvE and PvP modes.
Data Sources: Aggregate votes from the Epic7DB community, leading RTA players, and meta PvE run data.
I. Overall Hero Tier Rankings
Here’s the high-level breakdown:
SS-Tier: The True Meta Anchors
These heroes dominate everywhere—PvE speed clears, RTA, GvG, Arena, Abyss—no questions asked. Think Afternoon Soak Flan, Sea Phantom Politis, Specter Tenebria, Lionheart Cermia, and Angelica. They’re your go-to pulls and mains.
S-Tier: Ultra Strong, Slightly Specific
Almost universal, but may shine better in select content. Heroes like Briar Witch Iseria, Conqueror Lilias, Ambitious Tywin, and Last Rider Krau fall here. Essential picks if you miss SS but still want meta viability.
A-Tier: Reliable and Consistent
These are rock-solid heroes that do most things well. Expect units like Apocalypse Ravi, Diene, Aria, and Blooming Lidica. They’re great steady performers—even if they’re not broken-op.
B/C/D-Tiers: Use Case Dependent
B: Good in niche modes—e.g., Hwayoung excels in burst compositions.
C: Serviceable early-game picks but get outclassed later.
D: Only worth it for collection or flavor—low return on investment.
II. PvE Content-Specific Tiers
A. World (Story Mode)
Top picks for clear speed: AoE nukers and sustain heroes. Legends include Empyrean Ilynav, Sinful Angelica, Abyssal Yufine, Bystander Hwayoung, and Navy Captain Landy.
B. Abyss (Tower Floors)
You need wave control, AoE, or sustain specialists here. SS-tier picks like Politis, Flan, and Specter Tenebria dominate. Speed and cleanse are keys at higher floors.
C. Hunt (Wyvern, Golem, Banshee)
Boss-specific counters shine here—think Specter Tenebria for her soulburn cleanse and nuke, or Angelica for survivability. Tailor teams per boss mechanics.
D. Raid (Vera, Carcana, Aranka)
Survival > brute force. Heroes like Angelica, Politis, and Empyrean Ilynav are top-tier due to their shields, AoE, and party utility.
III. PvP and Competitive Tiers
A. Arena (Auto-Battle)
Focus: CC, burst, and cleave. Specter Tenebria, Flan, Politis, Cermia, Lilias—these are staples.
B. World Arena / RTA
Real-time duels favor speed, counter-building, and unpredictability. Meta picks: Specter Tenebria, Sea Phantom Politis, Peira, Flan. These fluctuate week-to-week.
C. Guild Wars
Both offense and defense matter. Angelica, Conqueror Lilias, Cermia, and Flan remain popular due to their map-clearing tools and sustain.
IV. Class-Based Tier Breakdown
Knights / Tanks
SS: Cermia, Angelica, Politis
S/A: Krau, Ambitious TywinTanks must have utility beyond meat shields.
Warriors / Bruisers
SS/S: Ravi, Lilias, Ken

V. Elemental Tier Trends
Meta often favors Dark and Light units lately: Semetra, AI-karina, Flan. Among regular 5★ vs Moonlight pulls, the ML units—especially Specter Tenebria, Angelica, Flan—perform strong against their standard counterparts.
VI. Beginner, F2P & Reroll Advice
A. Beginners Should Start With:
Iseria from starter select (great AoE)
Tamarinne from Story Summon
Specter Tenebria from Moonlight selector (Meta-defining)
Community agrees these picks let you carry through Adventure/Abyss early on.
B. F2P Picks
Stick with strong free-to-play units like Iseria, Tamarinne, Mercedes. Prioritize key artifacts: Speed, Counter, Immunity sets—upgrade slow but smart.
C. Reroll Strategy
Use Moonlight Selectors to target SS meta heroes (Specter Tenebria, Angelica, Flan, Cermia). They unlock vast & long-term builds.
VII. Artifact & Equipment Priorities
Artifact Sets
Speed: Always essential for nukers
Counter: For tanks & bruisers
Immunity: For support units like Angelica, Diene
Destruction / Hit: For aggressive DPS units
Equipment Gear
Tailor hero gear loadout: Counter + Speed for Cermia, Immunity + Speed for Angelica, Counter + HP for Ravi.
VIII. Community & Expert Opinions
Tier lists are fluid. Official Epic7DB list is gold standard, supported by tier makers and creator insights. Reddit consensus highlights early-game guides like choosing Mercedes, Ras, and early Tamarinne. Channels like Elvemage and Deity consistently update RTA strategies.
IX. Meta Evolution & Future View
