How We Created This Tier List

When we publish tier lists, we gather data from many sources. We start by playing the game ourselves and experiencing it firsthand.

But we also check out what other players are using in-game, as well as feedback from places like the Hearthstone Mercenaries discord server or from the Hearthstone Mercenaries subreddit.

This tier list reflects our opinions. We’re not trying to tell you how to play, and we know that some people might disagree with us. We encourage everyone to play how they want and have fun with their friends.

As the game continues to evolve and receive updates, such as nerfs or buffs to certain characters, this tier list might change.

What is Hearthstone Mercenaries?

Hearthstone’s latest game mode, Mercenaries, was released on October 12th, 2021. In this game mode, you control a mercenary (merc) as your main character.

Mercenaries mode is a turn-based fighting system that combines RPG elements, with PvE and PvP content. This is different from the other game modes, which are focused on card battles with constructed cards

Again, please keep in mind that this is a Hearthstone Mercenaries tier list for PvP and less for PvE, although some or most of the characters ranked here will perform well in PvE as well (according to their rankings).
