2. Inara
Class: Front Line
Inara is another extremely powerful hero, basically a front-line champion. Her sustainability and Earthern Guard power are what makes us so powerful. She specializes in mid and close-range combats. Although she doesn’t have any shield like the other front liners, Inara deploys a wall to take up good close-range hits.
3. Atlas
Class: Front Line
Atlas is much like a situational character who has multiple powers to defeat his enemies. However, one must use these powers based on the perfect situation to get the maximum result. His basic attack includes a chrono-cannon that allows him to throw fire projectiles at his enemies. It must at least be charged for 1.4 seconds or more. He also possesses a skill called Stasis Field which lets him deploy a shield for 5 seconds to defend against enemy attacks.
Besides, Atlas’s ultimate power lets him fire three shots at most which can freeze the enemies for 4 seconds. This power could be used as a great escaping weapon at times.
4. Makoa
Class: Front Line
Makoa, another front-line champion, is exclusively known for his absolute defending power. He can take huge blows of fire from the enemies and defend his allies standing behind him. Makoa’s attacking power is relatively slower compared to the other front-line champions. Although the cannon shots often steep off of the path of the projectile, they are still a powerful source of the attack.
But his ultimate skill known as the ‘Ancient Rage’ curates his weapon for wide melee attacks. He can hit multiple targets with each swing and it also heals him completely to reach his peak health.
5. Barik
Class: Front Line
Next on our S tier list, we have Barik, a front-line hero who has mastered the art of controlling all nearby areas. Barik holds a blunderbuss that shoots pellets with large spreads. He can dash in and out of any critical situation in the blink of an eye with his rocket boots. Dome Shield, his ultimate attack allows him to throw an intense flamethrower turret which is further protected by a massive dome that damages all enemies within its reach.
6. Koga
Class: Flank
Koga is a flank champion with incredible powers in reserves. He can swap stances and unlock different abilities from time to time. Koga uses an energy bar in order to use his skills.

Moreover, Koga has another ability that allows him to dash between a short range of areas. During this moment, he is almost impossible to attack, but he is able to hit any enemy coming in his way.
Although Koga’s powerful attacks and fast mobility make him a superior champion, there is a drawback as well. Since there are no cooldowns in his abilities, it takes up a lot of energy leaving the character all exhausted. His Dragon Stance although seems invincible, takes a whole energy bar and drains his energy at a much faster rate than usual.
7. Bomb King
Class: Damage
Bomb King has an immense area damaging power. He contains sticky bombs that could be deployed on the wall or even on the enemies that can be detonated anytime you want. His attacks specialize in area denial covering wide areas and taking over a large number of enemies. Poppy bombs can be used both as a means to escape and attack enemies at the same time.
