Welcome to the July 2025 Hero Rankings! This month’s update is full of drama: a surprise leap to the top, crushing demotions, returning veterans, and a brand-new face stepping into the spotlight. Whether you’re crafting your war lineup, planning your pulls, or analyzing team synergy, this guide will help you dominate the current meta.

We’ll break down all the rank changes across the three key tiers—Rising Heroes, Contender Heroes, and Ultimate Heroes—while spotlighting each hero’s core strengths, why they’re rising or falling, and what that means for your strategy moving forward.

🌱 Rising Heroes (Ranks 15–11)

These heroes are just breaking into the scene or losing a bit of momentum—but they still have meta potential depending on your comp.

15. Rosalind (▼ Down 3 Ranks – 12 → 15)

• Role: Healer | Stack (-50% Damage Taken) | Mega Minion Summoner | Cleanser
• Mana Speed: Fast
  Once a core support pick, Rosalind has dipped this month. Her fast healing and damage reduction stacks remain powerful, but other heroes are currently providing more impactful utility or disruption in faster-paced battles.

14. Regin (⚔️ Returning Warrior – April 2025)

• Role: Dispeller | Firestorm Strike (True Damage up to 1900) | Debuffer (Blocks Buffs)
• Mana Speed: Fast
  Regin makes a comeback after months off the leaderboard. His buff-blocking firestorm and strong dispel utility give him renewed value, especially against buff-heavy teams. Still niche, but a tactical pick.

13. Quari (▲ Up 2 Ranks – 15 → 13)

• Role: Reaper | Damage Over Time (Water) | Health Booster | Growth (ATK & DEF)
• Mana Speed: Average
  Quari rises with quiet consistency. His damage-over-time pressure and self-scaling stats make him a long-game threat. Particularly strong in compositions that value sustained attrition over burst.

12. Sludgus (▼ Down 2 Ranks – 10 → 12)

• Role: Healer | Dodge Buffer (True Damage on Dodge: 1600)
• Mana Speed: Average
  Sludgus is slippery—literally. Her dodge damage mechanic still punishes aggressive opponents, but power-creep and stronger utility supports push her slightly out of the spotlight.

11. Fergus (▼ Down 5 Ranks – 6 → 11)

• Role: Mana Reducer | Debuffer (Mana Gen) | Mega Minion Summoner | Bleed Damage
• Mana Speed: Slow
  A shocking fall for the once-dominant Fergus. While his bleed damage and mana reduction are still potent, his slow speed and the rise of silence and control-heavy heroes have exposed his weaknesses.

⚔️ Contender Heroes (Ranks 10–6)

These heroes are reliable, flexible, and highly usable in competitive lineups—even if they aren’t quite meta-defining.

10. Fafnir (🆕 Novice)

• Role: Reaper | Armor Breaker (Increased Received Damage) | Reflect Buffs
• Mana Speed: Fast
  A new contender emerges! Fafnir brings high-risk, high-reward gameplay with damage amplification and reflective debuffs. His reaper abilities punish squishy backliners when paired with burst teams.

9. Bearnadette (▼ Down 5 Ranks – 4 → 9)

• Role: Dispeller | Damage Dealer | Debuffer (Cursed Paintings)
• Mana Speed: Very Slow
  Her cursed painting mechanic is still haunting, but the meta’s speed increase has punished very slow mana heroes. She remains dangerous, but far more vulnerable than before.

8. Ruan Xiaoqi (▬ Same Rank – 8 → 8)

• Role: Crit Buff | Damage Dealer | Dispeller | Water DoT
• Mana Speed: Fast
  Ruan holds his ground with a balanced kit. He’s a go-to for players who want flexible burst, dispel, and damage over time in one neat package. Solid, but not dominant.

7. Gooric (▲ Up 6 Ranks – 13 → 7)

• Role: ATK/Mana Gen Buffer | Reviver
• Mana Speed: Average
  One of the month’s biggest risers! Gooric’s revival and buffing potential make him a team fight turner. He’s especially valuable in drawn-out matches where his revival can flip the game.

6. Li Kui (▲ Up 3 Ranks – 9 → 6)

• Role: Crit Buff | Reaper | Strong Taunt | Damage Reducer
• Mana Speed: Average
  Li Kui continues to climb. His taunt-and-tank kit gives teams breathing room, while crit buffs let allies deal heavy punishment. A consistent, reliable anchor in offense or defense.

👑 Ultimate Heroes (Ranks 5–1)

These are the titans of the current meta—the most dominant and defining heroes of July 2025.

5. Sable (▼ Down 2 Ranks – 3 → 5)

• Role: Full Cleanse | Ghost Form (Immunity) | Reviver | Team Healer
• Mana Speed: Very Fast
  Still brilliant, Sable’s utility is unmatched. Her ghost form grants invulnerability while healing and reviving allies on expiration. Though she’s fallen slightly, she’s far from out of favor.

4. Dularfulr (▲ Up 3 Ranks – 7 → 4)

• Role: Healer | Firestorm Ward | Status Immunity Buff
• Mana Speed: Fast
  Dularfulr rises with steadfast healing and powerful defenses. Her ability to prevent status ailments and reduce special skill damage keeps her team resilient in high-pressure scenarios.

3. Astrid (▼ Down 2 Ranks – 1 → 3)

• Role: Healer | Reviver | DEF Buff (All Damage = 1)
• Mana Speed: Average
  Astrid drops from the throne but remains elite. Her insane survivability and ability to nullify damage continue to make her a top-tier support. She’s just been slightly edged out by faster hybrids.

2. Ceris (▬ Same Rank – 2 → 2)

• Role: Reaper | Silencer | Wither (ATK & DEF Debuff)
• Mana Speed: Average
  No movement for Ceris—and that’s not a bad thing. Her silence and wither abilities control the battlefield, making her a staple in hybrid and control-heavy comps.

1. Song Jiang (▲ Up 4 Ranks – 5 → 1)

• Role: Crit Buff | Reaper | Healer (20% of Damage Dealt) | Silencer | DEF Debuffer
• Mana Speed: Average
  The new meta king! Song Jiang’s unique blend of offense and sustain pushes him to the top. His healing-through-damage, silence, and defense shredder make him both unkillable and lethal.

📊 Meta Snapshot – July 2025

• Biggest Climber: Gooric (▲ 6 Ranks) – A quiet powerhouse with immense utility.
• Biggest Fall: Fergus (▼ 5 Ranks) – Slow speed punished in a faster-paced meta.
