Ticket Hero throws a huge roster at you, and picking the wrong units early can stall your progress once boss waves start hitting harder. The heroes worth building revolve around raw damage, damage-over-time effects like Bleed and Burn, and a handful of tanks that keep your frontline alive. Below is the full ranking, followed by why the top picks earn their spots and how to reroll for them.
Quick answer: Prioritize Vlad III, Lee, Miyamoto Musashi, Arthur Pendragon, Sasaki Kojiro, Wild Outlaw, and Baek Pyo. If none of them show up in your free pulls, reroll until you land at least one top-tier hero before syncing your account.
Ticket Hero tier list (September 2026)
This ranking reflects the current September 2026 meta. Placements weigh overall DPS, skill utility, survivability, and how well each hero holds up across late-game stages and boss fights rather than just early clears.
| Tier | Heroes |
|---|---|
| S | Vlad III (UR), Lee (UR), Miyamoto Musashi (UR), Arthur Pendragon (UR), Sasaki Kojiro (UR), Wild Outlaw (SSR), Baek Pyo (SSR) |
| A | Joan of Arc (UR), Zhao Yun (UR), Dong Zhuo (SSR), Hong Gildong (SSR), Ragnar Lodbrok (SSR), Saito Hajime (SSR), Shishido Baiken (SSR), Zhang Fei (SSR), Raven Jin (SR), Themistocles (SR) |
| B | Cheok Jun-gyeong (SSR), Roland (SSR), Choe Yeong (SR), Dian Wei (SR), Gan Ning (SR), Li Shuwen (SR), Takeda Shingen (SR), Yeon Mu-gyeol (SR) |
| C | Kim Yu-sin (SR), Alzar Sting (R), Ambaghai Khan (R), Chiba Shusaku Narimasa (R), Harada Sanosuke (R), Momochi Izumo-no-Kami (R), Okita Soji (R), Qalawun (R), Xu Chu (R) |
Why the S-tier heroes stand out
The top tier is built around burst damage and DoT payoffs that scale into the hardest content. Vlad III applies Bleed for 5 seconds, deals bonus damage to bleeding targets, and can detonate those Bleed stacks for extra output, which makes him a reliable wave-clearer. Baek Pyo covers the same role if Vlad III eludes you, running similar Bleed utility while stacking his own Attack Speed every three hits.
Lee and Miyamoto Musashi are close crit-focused twins, each granting a 30% Crit Rate buff for 7 seconds and scaling hard into boss stages. Arthur Pendragon leans on Burn, shredding 20% enemy DEF and dealing 50% more damage to burning targets, with an extra bonus once a boss drops below 30% HP. Sasaki Kojiro brings Poison that cuts enemy damage by 20% and can be exploded for a team-wide spike.
Wild Outlaw is the outlier as a survivability pick. He lands a 2.5-second Stun to open burst windows, gains DEF as the fight drags on, and shields himself for 30% of his max HP, making him useful in both PvE and PvP setups.
| Hero | Core strength |
|---|---|
| Vlad III | Bleed DoT plus explosion damage for fast wave clears |
| Lee | 30% Crit Rate buff and strong crit scaling for bosses |
| Miyamoto Musashi | Crit-focused burst with Attack buffs, a Lee alternative |
| Arthur Pendragon | Burn shred and bonus damage to low-HP bosses |
| Sasaki Kojiro | Poison debuff plus Attack Speed and explosion damage |
| Wild Outlaw | Stun setup and a 30% max-HP shield for survivability |
| Baek Pyo | Bleed DoT and self Attack Speed stacking |
A-tier heroes worth building
A-tier units perform well across most content but carry a limitation that keeps them below the meta picks. Joan of Arc is a durable frontline with 5 seconds of debuff immunity and a Stun, though her damage reduction only applies in PvP. Zhao Yun tanks with a large shield and deals 50% more damage above 70% HP, but that reliance on high HP makes him inconsistent.
Saito Hajime and Hong Gildong are strong damage dealers with crit and Attack buffs, while Zhang Fei and Shishido Baiken bring Poison and Burn utility for combo teams. Ragnar Lodbrok offers a 2.5-second Stun and Attack Speed but lacks the ceiling of the S tier. Raven Jin and Themistocles round out the tier as a Burn-focused sub-DPS and a shielded initiator.
B and C tiers: early and mid-game filler
B-tier heroes hold up through early and mid-game but taper off later. Roland and Yeon Mu-gyeol work as sturdy frontliners, Cheok Jun-gyeong melts bosses with a 25% Crit Rate buff, and Li Shuwen, Dian Wei, Choe Yeong, Gan Ning, and Takeda Shingen fill in as situational damage or DoT support until you upgrade.
C-tier units have limited long-term value and mostly cover early clears. Xu Chu tanks early stages, Qalawun and Alzar Sting handle early boss fights, and the rest offer minor Bleed, Poison, or Stun utility that falls off once enemies scale up. Several of them also need to stay above a 70% HP threshold to deal meaningful damage, which is hard to maintain later.
How to reroll in Ticket Hero
Rerolling lets you start with a stronger hero and skip a slow opening. The process runs entirely through a guest account, so no emulator or extra login is required.
Note: Do not sync your account until you pull at least a top-tier SR hero. Once you land a hero worth keeping, bind the account to a social media login to lock in your progress.
