Watcher of Realms – US is a mobile RPG that stands out not only for its unique mechanics but also for its variety of heroes. There are 200 heroes to collect in the game, and each one has abilities that can take your team to the next level. However, some have better abilities than others, and as we mentioned in our beginner’s guide, each hero can take on a different role.

We’ve created this guide to help you build the ideal team and see who the top heroes are for each role. However, before you begin, please note that these selections are valid as of August 2025: future updates may alter power balances and game mechanics, or even add new heroes to the game.

Top Heroes for the Fighter Role

Fighters can deal quite high damage, but they attack at melee range and are extremely fragile. Make sure that heroes taking on this role are supported by a healer. The top heroes for this role are:

1. Wrath

Wrath has a talent that increases critical rate by 15% and has a 20% chance to deal double damage with every critical attack. It can increase the basic stats of all allies by 10% and increase its own damage by 30%. In addition to all this, the awakened version of this hero can recover 30% of the damage it deals as HP.

2. Estrid

Estrid’s most notable feature is that all of her basic attacks have a 25% chance to deal double damage. She can increase her attack speed and has a 20% chance to reduce enemy defense with each attack. The cost of her Awaken version is reduced by 2.

3. Deimos

Each attack from Deimos deals additional damage equal to 2% of his maximum HP. He can increase his own HP by 100% for 20 seconds and cause all his attacks to strike 4 times. He is an ideal hero for boss battles because each attack leaves a debuff on the target, causing the damage taken to increase by up to 60%.

Top Heroes for the Defender Role

The goal of heroes who take on this role is to protect everyone else, so they need to be able to withstand damage rather than deal damage. The top heroes we have selected for this role are:

1. Olague

Olag can switch to a form in which he does not attack for 25 seconds but increases his defense by 40%. He can also create a shield every 12 seconds: this shield can absorb damage equal to 50% of his maximum HP. The Awakened version can also reduce the damage taken by allies by 40% for a short period of time.

2. Baron

Baron can create a shield that absorbs up to 70% of his maximum HP, and this shield remains active for 10 seconds. In addition, when he is close to death, he deals AoE damage equal to 50% of his maximum HP: the ideal hero for a “last stand”.

3. Ardeth

While most other defenders can only hit one target at a time, Ardeth can attack three enemies simultaneously. However, his most important ability is his passive skill, which allows him to recover 10% of the damage he deals as HP: this defender is surprisingly successful at surviving on his own.

Top Heroes for the Mage Role

You should choose this class to attack from a greater distance and deal magic damage. Every team should have at least one mage, and the top heroes we have selected for this role are:

1. Eona

Eona is a mage who can deal AoE damage over a fairly wide area, meaning she can quickly eliminate enemies with low HP. More importantly, however, she applies a Slow debuff within this area. She has an ability that increases her attack speed by 100% every 15 seconds.

2. Greed

Greed is one of the most expensive heroes, but he is worth the cost: all his attacks deal AoE damage, he can apply a Slow debuff, and he can increase his own damage by 10%. His Awakened version has an 8% higher critical rate.

3. Marri

Marri’s stats aren’t as impressive as other mages, but she can apply the Slow debuff with all her basic attacks and has AoE abilities that apply the Freeze debuff. In other words, she gives other team members more time to clear waves.

Top Heroes for the Healer Role

This is a hero that every team must have, because without this role, you cannot keep other team members alive, especially the defender. The heroes we recommend for this role are as follows:

1. Dolores

There are two reasons why Dolores is one of the best healers. The first is that she has an extremely low cost, allowing you to place her on the battlefield right from the start. The second is that she performs attack-based healing, meaning that how much she heals her allies is determined by her attack value relative to the target’s maximum HP.

2. Vortex

Unlike Dolores, Vortex uses HP-based healing, meaning how much it can heal depends on how much HP the target has lost. Since it can increase its own healing multiplier by 25% for a certain period of time, the results can be extremely satisfying.

3. Hollow

Hollow uses attack-based healing like Dolores, but can do so for multiple targets at once and increase her healing multiplier by 25%. In addition to healing, she can also provide rage regen to all allies within range, making her one of the best options to use with fighters.

Top Heroes for the Marksman Role

We can say that marksmen are the physical damage-dealing version of mages: they attack from a distance and are just as fragile as fighters. However, since they can also attack flying targets, you should include them in every team. Our picks for this role are:

1. Idril

Idril’s attacks deal double damage, and she also has an ability that allows her to deal triple damage to a specific target. When other heroes activate their Ultimates, she can increase the damage of her own attacks by 50%. Her Awakened version comes with +25 attack speed.

2. Maul

Maul focuses on AoE damage and has an ability that increases this damage by 750% and applies Knockback to all enemies within the area. In addition, every 25 seconds, he can increase his attack range and reduce the defense of enemies.

3. Alaura

Alaura has a talent that could be described as “game breaking”: as long as she doesn’t activate her ultimate, she cannot be targeted by enemies. For the same reason, she doesn’t take damage either, which gives you more freedom in terms of where you place her.

Top Heroes for the Tactician Role

This is one of the newest roles in the game and has its own unique gameplay. There aren’t many options for this role at the moment, so our choices are currently limited to the following:

1. Astrael

Astrael specializes in inflicting vulnerability debuffs on enemies and can also deal AoE damage to up to 5 targets. In addition, he gains a shield equal to 100% of his attack power and regains 1.5% of his HP with each attack.

2. Valara

Valara gains invisibility buff during deployment, just like Alaura, and her abilities are mostly based on dealing area damage. She can damage up to 10 enemies at once. When used in the Arena, her damage increases by 15%.

3. Moriden

Moriden’s attacks are based on defense penetration and can increase his own damage by 300%. He also has a passive ability that permanently increases damage by 30%. He will be one of the best heroes for enemies with high defense.
