A complete breakdown of Rising, Contender, and Ultimate Heroes – Who’s climbing, who’s falling, and who just shocked the rankings?

The February 2025 rankings are in, and they’ve come with a few surprises! We’ve seen some new faces make a grand entrance, familiar names slipping down the ladder, and a few big movers shaking up the battlefield. Let’s dive into the hero ranking changes for this month across all three tiers: Rising, Contender, and Ultimate Heroes.

🧱 Rising Heroes (Ranks 15–11)

Heroes in this tier are starting to catch attention. They may be new, underused, or just beginning to prove themselves in the current meta.

15. Maisie (Novice)

Role: Overhealer | Mega Minion Summoner | Cleanser
Mana Speed: Average

Maisie debuts on the list with an impressive support kit. Her overhealing and strong minions give your frontline serious survivability, while her cleanse helps counter today’s popular debuff-heavy teams. A solid investment for long battles.

14. Hrothgar (▼ Down 1 Rank)

Role: Damage Dealer | Mana Reducer | Debuffer (Mana Generation) | Buff Generator (ATK & DEF)
Mana Speed: Average
January Rank: 13

After a brief time in the spotlight, Hrothgar slips down a notch. He’s still a well-rounded hero, but his utility is starting to get outpaced by faster or more specialized picks.

13. Sable (Novice)

Role: Full Status Removal | Ghost Form | Reviver | Cleanser
Mana Speed: Very Fast

A standout newcomer. Sable does it all—dispels every status effect (even undispellable!), enters a ghost form to become untargetable, then revives an ally and heals the team when her Ghost form ends. All at very fast mana? Watch this one.

12. Grovevert (Novice)

Role: Mana Increaser | Mega Fiend Caster | Healing & Mana Debuffer
Mana Speed: Fast

Grovevert enters the scene as a control-heavy support, disrupting healing and mana flow while summoning fiends and accelerating himself. Could become a staple in mana-control lineups.

11. Dularfulr (▼ Down 1 Rank)

Role: Healer | Firestorm Ward | Status Immunity Buffer
Mana Speed: Fast
January Rank: 10

Dularfulr drops slightly but remains a trusted support. Her defensive buffs and reliable healing still make her valuable, especially when facing burst damage.

⚔️ Contender Heroes (Ranks 10–6)

These are mid-tier heroes who consistently perform well and are often seen in competitive setups.

10. Shimmerscale (▲ Up 2 Ranks)

Role: Reaper | Mega Minion Summoner | Bleed DoT
Mana Speed: Fast
January Rank: 12

Shimmerscale bleeds his way up the ranks this month. His consistent DOT pressure and summon power are increasingly relevant, especially against unprepared teams.

9. Regin (▬ Same Rank)

Role: Dispeller | Firestorm Strike (True Damage) | Buff Blocker
Mana Speed: Fast

Holding strong at #9, Regin continues to offer excellent value. He hits hard with Firestorm Strike, and his ability to block buffs is crucial in many matchups.

8. Sludgus (▬ Same Rank)

Role: Healer | Buffer (Dodge + True Damage on Dodge)
Mana Speed: Average

No change for Sludgus. Her 1600 true damage per dodge makes her a high-risk target, especially in a dodge-heavy team. Still one of the best supports for attrition battles.

7. Dima (▬ Same Rank)

Role: Reaper | DEF Debuffer | Mega Minion Summoner | Bleed DoT
Mana Speed: Average

Another stable performer. Dima’s mix of bleed damage, defense debuff, and minion pressure makes him a consistent threat in both offense and defense.

6. Armand Moncharmin (▼ Down 3 Ranks)

Role: Damage Dealer | Mega Minion Summoner | Debuffer (Sleep + Mana Block)
Mana Speed: Average
January Rank: 3

Armand’s drop is the biggest this month. His Sleep mechanic is powerful but situational. He’s still useful but now overshadowed by more direct and aggressive picks.

🏆 Ultimate Heroes (Ranks 5–1)

These heroes are the cream of the crop—dominant, meta-defining, and often game-changers in any lineup.

5. Kolya (▬ Same Rank)

Role: Damage Dealer | Dispeller | Mega Minion Summoner | Cleanser
Mana Speed: Average

Kolya remains a go-to core hero. Balanced offense, utility, and self-sustain make him a reliable choice for nearly any strategy.

4. Rosalind (▲ Up 2 Ranks)

Role: Healer | Stack (Damage Reduction) | Mega Minion Summoner | Cleanser
Mana Speed: Fast
January Rank: 6

Rosalind’s climb reflects her rising value. Her -50% damage reduction stack and healing create massive sustain. Pair her with frontline brawlers, and she keeps them alive forever.

3. Bearnadette (▲ Up 1 Rank)

Role: Dispeller | Damage Dealer | Debuffer (Cursed Paintings)
Mana Speed: Very Slow
January Rank: 4

Don’t let her slow speed fool you. Bearnadette’s “Cursed Paintings” debuff can shut down entire teams. She’s tricky to use but devastating when played right.

2. Astrid (▬ Same Rank)

Role: Healer | Reviver | DEF Buffer (Reduce all damage to 1)
Mana Speed: Average

Still the queen of sustain and revival. Astrid’s ability to reduce incoming damage to just 1 point is a game-changer in long matches.

1. Fergus (▬ Same Rank)

Role: Mana Reducer | Debuffer (Mana Generation) | Mega Minion Summoner | Bleed DoT
Mana Speed: Slow

No surprises here—Fergus reigns supreme. His heavy control over mana, strong bleed pressure, and summon support keeps him at the top for another month.

🔎 Summary: February Meta Snapshot

• Biggest Drop: Armand Moncharmin (▼3)
• Biggest Climber: Shimmerscale (▲2), Rosalind (▲ Up 2 Ranks)
• New Blood to Watch: Sable & Grovevert – both bring fresh, game-changing mechanics
• Hero to Fear: Still Fergus.
