Although the combat takes place in a fast-paced, 3D arena, at its core Heir Of Light follows the basic gacha formula, complete with summoning randomized creatures, evolution, adding runes, and so on.

Heir Of Light Tier List
We won’t bother listing the nat 1 star creatures, as in the vast majority of cases these are just fodder for enhancing your stronger characters. Creatures come in different elements as they evolve and awaken, so you may see the same name repeatedly or on different ranking tables.
Keep in mind that creatures can be upgraded via rune enhancements to shore up weaknesses or exaggerate natural strengths, so your mileage may vary and in some cases lower ranked creatures may actually be better than listed.
S Rank
These are the indispensable Heir Of Light creatures that will nearly always beat out all others, regardless of element, level, or rune loadout. You want these creatures in your battles as often as possible.

Only slightly less useful than S rank, these creatures have a few flaws that mean they won’t always dominate in every situation, but in most cases these will result in very powerful combat groups.

These are the basic mid-range creatures that you will be struggling with until you can luck out with the higher rankings. Although not terrible, each one has some flaw that makes them less useful in combat than they could be compared to other creatures.

This is generally the bottom of the barrel, but there is some variation within the creatures at this ranking. Some of these characters can be used strategically to decent effect, while others are straight up garbage. In most cases, you want anyone else besides these characters, however.
