Hero Siege Season 10 tier list: best classes and builds
Which builds level fastest and which carry into Inferno in Season 10 Ebontharn, with the two that rank at the top of both lists.
Two builds sit at the top of both the leveling and the endgame lists for Hero Siege Season 10: Lightning Fury and Shield Wall. If you want one character that levels quickly and keeps farming into Inferno, start with one of those. Below is the full Season 10 ranking from Metaroad, plus where other tier lists disagree.
The short version
- Lightning Fury and Shield Wall are S tier for both leveling and endgame on Metaroad's Season 10 list.
- For pure endgame, Totem, Flicker, Caustic Spearhead, Scorching Whip, Frost Sunder and Surgical Blood Letting join them at S tier.
- Some builds swap places between the lists. Flicker and Frost Sunder are E tier for leveling and S tier in the endgame.
- Hero Siege tier lists rank skills and builds more than classes, so check which skill a list means.

Both tables are from Metaroad's Season 10 class tier list, last updated on 28 August 2026. The author calls it a subjective starting point, and it changed several times in the first week of the season. Patches since then, up to 7.0.13 on 16 September, mostly fixed bugs and drop rates, though Demonspawn's Blood Surge was rebuilt for performance with higher scaling per point.
Where other lists disagree
Other Season 10 tier lists rank whole classes instead of skills, and they do not agree with each other. LagoFast's launch list puts Plague Doctor, Pirate, Demon Slayer and Butcher at S tier for early progression. Other lists favour Pyromancer and Marksman for ranged area damage. Most were written in the first days of the season, so treat any class ranking as a rough guide and check which skill the author is playing.
What to pick
- One character for the whole season: Lightning Fury or Shield Wall, the two S tier builds on both lists.
- Fastest start: any leveling S tier build, then roll an endgame S tier build once you have gold for gear.
- Farming: builds with screen-wide area damage and a movement skill. Our farming builds guide covers the four classes farmers keep picking.
Our classes guide lists every class and which ones are free, and the builds guide explains how skills, gear, relics and the Ether Tree fit together.
Builds that suit a bot
If you plan to automate farming, pick a build with few buttons and no fussy timing. MUSA's Hero Siege bot fights with the skills you assign, mines ore, picks up what passes your loot filter, stashes a full bag and resets the map. Panic Art bans for automation online, so read our guide to cheats, trainers and bots before you decide.
