Last War Hero Tier List: Best Heroes (Season 6, 2026)

This Last War hero tier list ranks every hero by how well they carry damage, hold the front line and support a squad in Last War: Survival. We sorted the roster into S, A and B tiers using the Season 6 ranking, so you know which heroes deserve your resources first.

Kimberly, DVA, Tesla, Morrison and Fiona lead the damage heroes, while Murphy and Williams anchor the tank squads. Marshall and Stetmann round out the S tier on utility. Rankings shift with every season and new hero release, so treat this as a build-order guide, not a permanent verdict.

How We Rank Last War Heroes

• Damage: how reliably a hero carries PvE stages and squad fights.
• Squad fit: whether the hero belongs to the aircraft, missile or tank lineup, or works in any of them.
• Longevity: heroes that stay useful late in the account rank above early-game stopgaps.
• Utility: support heroes can rank high when they strengthen a whole squad.

Last War Hero Tier List (Season 6)

The Last War hero tier list below follows the Season 6 ranking. The source has no C or D tier, so heroes it considers temporary or overtaken sit in B.

Best Heroes to Build First

• Kimberly: a damage carry who is not tied to one squad type, so she is the safest first investment.
• DVA and Morrison: the top damage picks for an aircraft squad.
• Tesla and Fiona: the premium pair for a missile squad.
• Murphy and Williams: a dependable tank pairing, with Williams adding sustain.
• Marshall and Stetmann: utility heroes that deepen tank formations.

Aircraft, Missile and Tank Squads

Last War heroes are grouped by squad type. The Season 6 advice is to build Kimberly first, then pick one lane and commit to it: tank with Murphy and Williams, aircraft with DVA and Morrison, or missile with Tesla and Fiona. Spreading resources across all three slows every squad down.

S-Tier Heroes Explained

• Kimberly: the most reliable all-round attacker for PvE and squad fights, and the one damage carry who stays useful through the whole account journey.
• DVA: a strong offensive anchor for an aircraft core.
• Tesla: high-impact missile damage with strong late-game value.
• Morrison: top-end offense for aircraft teams once you commit to that direction.
• Fiona: pairs with Tesla as a premium missile investment.
• Murphy: a dependable long-term tank defender.
• Williams: the safest partner for Murphy in a serious tank core.

The A tier is where most of your roster will live for a while. Schuyler, Lucius and Carlie are strong aircraft attackers, Swift and Adam fill the missile slots, and Violet works as a bridge toward a full UR roster. They are good heroes, but they work best once you have a defined squad plan around them.

Last War Hero Tier List FAQ

Who is the best hero in Last War? Kimberly is the top pick in the Season 6 ranking, because she works in any squad and stays strong late. DVA and Tesla follow for damage.

Who should I skip? Heroes in B tier, such as Farhad, Kane and Loki, are early-game filler. Save your resources for the S and A tier heroes in your chosen squad.

Where Guides Disagree

Other 2026 lists broadly agree on Kimberly, DVA and Tesla at the top, but they differ on supports. One ranking puts Marshall and Stetmann in S tier, while another places Stetmann in B. If you play a tank-heavy lineup, the utility heroes are worth more than a generic list suggests.
