🏆 Hero tier list

This is not a raw power ranking, and you should distrust any Kingshot tier list that claims to be one. Which hero generations exist on your server depends on how old your Kingdom is, so a list built on a 300-day Kingdom is actively misleading on a 30-day one. What follows is an investment order for a free-to-play Governor — who to spend shards on next — which does transfer between servers.

Hero	Grade & type	Tier	Why
Amadeus	Gen 1 · Infantry	S+	Top-end Conquest and rally hero, and the season hero of the first Hall of Governors cycles. Owning him applies his star bonus permanently even if you never field him.
Helga	Gen 1 · Infantry	S+	Bear Hunt rally leader. With her exclusive weapon at +10 she stays useful for the life of the account.
Jabel	Gen 1 · Cavalry	S+	Grows on her own over time. Do not feed her universal Legendary shards — she reaches 5 stars without them.
Zoe	Gen 2 · Infantry	S+	The free-to-play answer at Gen 2. Worth pushing all the way to 5 stars.
Marlin	Gen 2 · Archer	S+	Stop at 3–4 stars and use her for Arena and monster clearing. A forced 5 star is wasted once the Gen 4 Archer arrives.
Alcar	Gen 4 · Infantry	S+
Vivian	Gen 5 · Archer	S+	Where a free-to-play account should dump every universal Legendary shard it has saved. Rally hero.
Triton	Gen 6	S+
Hilde	Gen 2 · Cavalry	S	Season hero of the 4th–5th Hall of Governors cycles.
Margot	Gen 4	S
Thrud	Gen 5	S
Yang	Gen 6	S
Sophia	Gen 6	S
Howard	Gen 1 · Infantry	A	Core free-to-play line-up — the single tank.
Quinn	Gen 1	A	Stand-in when you do not have Yaenwoo.
Eric	Gen 3 · Infantry	A	Strong, but realistically a spender's hero.
Jaeger	Gen 3 · Archer	A	Strong, but realistically a spender's hero.
Petra	Gen 3 · Cavalry	A	Your first rally-leading hero and the one that carries Bear Hunt for months. 5 stars if you can, 4 at minimum.
Rosa	Gen 4 · Archer	A	The Gen 4 Archer a free-to-play account takes to cover the gap Marlin leaves.
Long Fei	Gen 5	A
Yaenwoo	Gen 1	B	Core free-to-play line-up — first priority for Epic universal shards.
Amane	Gen 1	B	Rally joiner.
Saul	Gen 1 · Archer	B	Construction speed skill. Worth 3 stars early, then leave him behind once Gen 2 arrives.
Diana	Gen 1	B	Monster hunting and stamina efficiency.
Chenko	Gen 1 · Infantry	B	Core free-to-play line-up — first priority for skill mastery.
Seth	Gen 1	C
Olive	Gen 1 · Gathering	C	Gathering hero. Early free-to-play only.
Gordon	Gen 1	C	Low-generation rally joiner for free-to-play accounts.
Edwin	Gen 1 · Gathering	C	Gathering hero. Early free-to-play only.
Forrest	Gen 1 · Gathering	C	Gathering hero. Early free-to-play only.
Fahd	Gen 1	C	Early free-to-play filler.

Troop type names — Infantry, Cavalry, Archer — are verbatim from Century Games' own English Combat FAQ, and hero names are the ones Century Games uses in its English materials. The three Gathering heroes are listed by role instead of troop type because they never fight: their job is resource output, and shards spent on them add nothing to your rally. Generation numbers (Gen 1, Gen 2 …) are a player convention, not a publisher label.
