Guildrun Red Rift Tier List (All Heroes Ranked)

Grace — Always useful on any team thanks to The Selfless spec, adding Shield on Backup. She also has the unique ability to revive team members in battle, which can potentially save a run.

Sal — Frost is the strongest Debuff in the game and Permafrost provides it by default. All three specs can be really strong, and when utilized well, she greatly amplifies your team.

Funke — He provides reliable AoE damage, and all three specs are strong and flexible to use. He can easily carry non-boss fights with the right synergies, but even without he's still solid.

Aria – She has power and utility thanks to the combined Burn and Frost of Requiem Barrage, while also offering excellent Shield support with The Harmony.

Tilly — A great unit from the start who can help generate Shards. She mainly excels in Act 1, but can occasionally function as a Tank using defensive items plus Omnivamp from The Elegant.

Gustav — He fulfills a unique role as a Tank and Mystic. While weak early, he has very strong Shielding once equipped. He can also grant team-wide Mana Regen and Shards on Backup.

Pimenta — One of the most flexible Tank heroes that provides a ton of utility with each spec. She can stack Debuffs, scale Attack Speed, or strengthen her Poison and defenses.

Rowan — As a dual-class Tank + Vanguard, he has great defenses from the start, while also scaling HP throughout the game with The Friend spec.

Niklas — A very wacky hero due to his item eating mechanic, but has potential to snowball stats under the right cirumstances. Plus at A or S rank as The Dealer, he can pump out a TON of value.

Karsu — She excels at applying Frost during boss fights, making her an ideal swap-in from the bench. However, the random targeting of Snowpiercer means she isn't always reliable in hallway fights.

Kai — Has strong burst damage with Resolute Strike, especially with dedicated Mystic support to provide him more Shield. Unfortunately, his Tank spec has greatly worsened after several nerfs.

Ratna — There's huge snowball potential with Starfall, which combines well with all three specs (she can even tank with Mage Armor). Best used when found early, but still great as a Backup.

Irini — She massively benefits from scaling Stall and Rush triggers, dealing huge damage with The Electric spec. A very strong DPS, but requires investing into synergies.

Pollen — A very strong source of healing and Shielding during the later parts of a run. She can fit flexibly onto most teams, but definitely requires Mana items to be effective.

Nyx — The absolute best hero for scaling both Stall and Rush triggers, allowing you to build up a ton of stacks over the course of the game. Definitely requires synergies to be worth using.

Yuuna — She's a strong early game DPS that has access to Shard generation as The Collector, along with potential for long-term scaling when building The Shadow.

Dragomir — His Devour offers Shards on-kill from C-Rank, giving him nice early utility. He also scales very well with Omnivamp, giving him some innate defenses over other DPS heroes.

Ming — A strong early game frontliner that can actually double as your DPS. Requires Rush support to succeed later on, but is still a great pickup to help get through Act 1.

Fiona — Less combat utility than other Mystic heroes, but she can Shield much more often. However, her greatest strength is spawning items as The Right Hand.

Zuri — As The Bladedancer she feels unkillable in Act 1, but she will quickly fall off compared to other Tank heroes. If you can fuel her Mana via Backup effects, The Cruel does have potential.

Rip — He has a huge ceiling with dedicated Rush support, functioning as a large HP Tank that can also become your carry. Synergies are a must, but the power is there.

Logan — He has the potential to become an insane carry with The Momentous if found and invested into early. That said, his floor is very low, outside of The Juggernaut (which is alright).

Skorn — Having Frost is nice, but waiting for Stall to trigger it can be a real issue. He definitely needs help with sustain, whereas most other Tank heroes have some by default.

Reyna — She can be strong when found early at higher ranks, but fills an awkward niche as a semi-tanky DPS. You'll often need extra sources of Shield to keep her going on the frontlines.

Hoyoung — He has solid early game damage and can generate Shards like other Assassins, but his highest potential is The Conduit, if found early. However, outside of that he's pretty mediocre.
