Inspired by the thread « Hero descriptions to help people choose a character», I decided I wanted to dig a bit deeper into the various heroes available for campaign play in Imperial Assault. I have played through all the campaigns more than once, as well as all the Descent 2.0 campaigns several times. I have also played Warhammer and Warmachine/Hordes at a competitive level. I am probably not the best player there ever was, but at least I have some experience and should be able to provide a decent overview of the heroes. I have decided to separate the various heroes into tiers, people will probably disagree with where I put the various heroes, but this is how I see them and how I have seen them perform in our campaigns.
S-Tier
S-Tier heroes are a notch above everyone else. Not only do they excel at what they do, they also have some other tech that greatly benefits the team they are in. I have also decided to separate three heroes into a separate category –S-Tier+. These heroes are the very best the Rebels have to offer. Often changing the entire playstyle of any given mission.
S-Tier+ Heroes: Fenn Signis, Gideon Argus, Diala Passil
S-Tier Heroes: Mak Eshka’rey, Murne Rin
A-Tier
A-Tier heroes are solid performers that will fill their role admirably, but often does not have the flexibility or the “game breaking” abilities of the S-Tier heroes. They are nevertheless strong choices, but may need some help from the S-Tier heroes to really take off.
A-Tier Heroes: Verena Talos, MHD-19, Gaarkhan, Jyn Odan
B-Tier
B-Tier heroes leaves something to be desired. They can oftentimes do their jobs well enough, but they don’t have the necessary tools to be able to control the game or be flexible enough to be the shining start of the team. They require the rest of the team to do most of the work.
B-Tier Heroes: Saska Teft, Loku Kanoloa, Davith Elso
C-Tier
C-Tier heroes are the worst of the worst. They don’t do anything better than their counterparts and they are severely lacking in skills that would help them actually do their job.
C-Tier Heroes: Biv Bodhrik
Edit: I see I cannot edit the title after I have posted a topic. Too bad...
