Ranking Major Heroes in AOTR from Best to Worst | AOTR Tier List 

Strictly speaking, in AotR a Major Hero by definition is one that can be rescued. If they can't be rescued, then they aren't a capital-M "Major Hero." That said, I get where you are coming from with who you put on this list, and I feel most people don't even realize something this semantic.

Some thoughts: Bevel Lemelisk is by far one of the strongest Heroes for the Empire - because of his construction bonuses. Because those do also affect Technology-Upgrades. And since those Technologies are structures as well, their build time is also affected by regular governors or the Emperor - so you can stack those bonuses and go through the techs super fast. And in the beginning, when you start with not many ships, his bonuses help you to push them out faster. I'd definitely put him in A-Tier, if not S-Tier. Generally your tier list focuses a lot on the heroes use in combat - and you're undervalueing the GC-aspect. The monetary aspect of the Emperor and the Governors is also important - they each double the base income of one of your worlds. Having them all on Coruscant gives you more than 500 Credits for free every week. That's not a lot in the base game, but a good part of your income in the early game.

The Dark Haired empire Scout lady is wortlesd in a mission if you ignore her in a battle for 2 secs she is toast. Good space scout though. Put her in a Raider Corvette.

Quick point: Niles Ferrier is required for the "Ship Thief" mission, which can get you a Corvette, Frigate, or Cruiser from that mission. (His Conner Net can disable enemies, making him a decent support ship, but his whole deal is that his ship is armed to fight fighters, corvettes, and even frigates and cruisers)

I love Zekka because because as stealth unit you can apply his admiral bonus to anywhere on the map. Given how spread out the black sun is, that’s huge. Also if you bring him into the battle last you can go over pop cap.

You really undervalue raids and Econ

how have i only just noticed that Tyber Zann's picture is straight up Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs)?

Droids are actually amazing on ground in early game. They 100% repair a vehicle. Pair with Chewie for a raid and you can steal and then keep alive a vehicle.

Bro there so much issues in video. And thats all because you looking at hero descriptions from icons of top right screen -- they are not full for some reason. You should read descriptions from the hero icons on their current locations wherever they are. For example Xizor, Zeka Thyne, Tyber, Bib Fortuna and Durga -- all vigos and providing economic bonuses (also faster merc recruitment). Bin Essada and Jerjerod provide eco monuses too

Also Han and chewing can be used as an envoy and steal credits

Lando also can get enemy units to switch sides on the ground so that can be helpful for turning a battle in your favor depending on what you find

You mistook Capt. Needa for Admiral Piett.

Garm Bel Iblis used to be close to an S tier before they gave him the Juggernaut for no good reason the CSA unit was far better and more interesting.

I'm dumbfounded that Akbar isn't rescuable. I even checked the files just to make sure it wasn't a mistake. What the hell?

You forgot Thrawn😅

I know you want us to make our own tier lists, but I'd have such a hard time ranking them because I genuinely like all of them >.

Simply the mayor mistake in this video is that you are missing Admiral Daala y Grand Admiral Thrawn, since you punt Admiral Ackbar and some other "minor" heros this is an unforgivable mistake. has side note: Although I am not a big fan of Lando, I think he should be above boba fett in Tier B. On the ground he has the ability to turn enemy infantry, in space he has the random fleet, he is also a governor and to top it off he is a hero that can be rescued.

Great video, I really miss Garms battle platform

If I correct Mon Mothma provide 25% health bonus in space too

This might get long couse ill edit it as i watch. 5:15 idk when you last use Rieekan but in my experience he is realy tought to kill, flak and AA turrets did nothing to him, mass drivers did very little, turbos could kill him aventualy but that would take a while and he could easly get away. Only thing that will kill him quickly are AA missiles. And dude has stun ions on his transport. I would put him in B-tier. I agree that droids are B-tier but i think you underestimate their usefullness in battle. You put them in a transport, preferably iblis' vehicle and pop them out whenever one of your vehicles needs healing. And kota in C-tier just fuckin hurts my soul, that blind man, along with iblis (the fool?) took down the empire so manny times by now. I would put him in A tier Your placement of palp is fair enough, but i use him in the army so i would put him in A tier At least Iblis got A tier he deserves But what the heck do you mean by juggernaut? He had a vehicle unique to him and the devs changed in to a juggernaut in 2.11? Couse the vehicle he had in 2.10 was great, in fact he could 1v1 veers. Tho the player can easly counter him with AT rockets

Bro is missing half the imperial line up

Oh god you are so wrong…
