Wittle Defender Tier List – Best and Worst Heroes Ranked (2025)
S-Tier Heroes
These heroes dominate the battlefield with unmatched power in either wave clearing or boss damage. Use them as the core of your team.
Robot
- Role: Boss Killer
- Why S-Tier: Insane damage output, especially with his OEM charge skill. He might be the first to fall in battle, but the damage he delivers makes up for it.
- Pro Tip: Always include Robot if you’re struggling with bosses. He is a game-changer despite his low survivability.
Ice Demon
- Role: Wave Control + Utility
- Why S-Tier: Excellent wave clearer, and when paired with Ice Queen, creates powerful chain skill combos. Also summons tools and bears to distract bosses, giving your team breathing room.
- Pro Tip: Not the highest damage dealer, but arguably the most strategic hero in tough boss fights.
A-Tier Heroes
These heroes are very powerful and reliable in most content. They may have slight weaknesses but still perform well in most scenarios.
Ice Queen
- Role: Wave Control
- Why A-Tier: One of the best at handling groups of enemies. Her skill pulls mobs together, and her damage is solid. Slightly lower boss damage keeps her out of S-tier.
- Pro Tip: Combine with Ice Demon for devastating chain skills.
I Switch
- Role: Wave Clear
- Why A-Tier: Versatile and effective against mobs. While her boss damage isn’t top-tier, it’s still decent, making her very balanced overall.
Thunder Pharaoh
- Role: AoE Damage
- Why A-Tier (debatable): The creator wanted to place him in B-tier but bumped him up due to his robot synergy and chain skill potential.
- Pro Tip: Works best in team comps that rely on chain attacks.
Sarah
- Role: Support / Healer
- Why A-Tier: Essential for long fights due to her healing ability. If you’re struggling to survive in boss battles, Sarah will save your run.
- Pro Tip: Pair with high-damage heroes like Robot or Swordmaster to keep them alive longer.
B-Tier Heroes
Useful in early or mid-game, or for specific strategies. Not optimal for late-game boss fights.
Nightburn & Swordmaster
- Role: AoE Wave Clear
- Why B-Tier: Both are strong against waves thanks to chain attacks but fall behind in boss damage. Ice Queen and others perform better overall.
- Pro Tip: Use them until you unlock stronger wave-clear options.
Demon Spun & Blazing Archer
- Role: Versatile Damage Dealers
- Why B-Tier: These two are close to being A-tier but just slightly outperformed by better alternatives.
- Pro Tip: Good picks early on, especially when your team lacks burst damage.
C-Tier Heroes
These heroes aren’t worth investing in unless you’re very early in the game or playing for fun.
Common & Epic Heroes
- Why C-Tier: Meant for early-game use only. Once you unlock Legendary heroes, these quickly fall off in usefulness.
- Pro Tip: Swap them out as soon as better options become available.
