Best Frontline Heroes — October 2026

How this list is made

1. Starting point (baseline): every hero gets a stat score — 70% rarity (UR > SSR > SR) and 30% max-level ATK + DEF compared with the other heroes in the same role. It is the same baseline as our live tier list.
2. Votes only count once a hero has at least 10 effective votes for that role. Below that, the hero is ranked on the baseline only.
3. Over the threshold, the final score is 50% baseline + 50% community vote (share of up-votes among all votes for that hero and role).
4. Anti-manipulation: one vote per browser per hero and role, plus hourly and daily limits per network. Several browsers on the same network count as one vote per hero and role, and bursts (more than 10 votes from one network inside 10 minutes) are ignored.
5. Tiers: S = top 12%, A = to 35%, B = to 65%, C = to 88%, D = the rest, within each role.
6. Stability: a hero can move at most one tier per month, up or down.
7. Ties are broken by the baseline stat score, then by name.
8. The list is frozen on the 1st of every month at 02:00 UTC from the votes cast so far. New votes count toward next month. Past months stay in the archive below.
9. Editors can pin a hero to a tier when the data is clearly wrong (for example right after a balance patch); pinned heroes are marked “Editor pick”.

This snapshot: 0 votes on record, 0 ignored by the rules above. Votes are anonymous; we keep only a one-way hash per browser and network.
