Last War: Survival Tier List — Most Popular Heroes & Squad Comps by Season
A Last War: Survival tier list of the most popular heroes and 5-hero squad comps by season, army type, and power — based on what players field, not win-rate.
Most Last War: Survival tier lists are one writer's opinion. This one is built from data: it ranks heroes and squad compositions by popularity — how often each shows up on the map — not by win-rate. Battle outcomes are never recorded; what's measured is which combat squads players actually field across the map over the last 30 days. A high tier means "lots of players run this," reflecting the live meta — not "this wins fights."
Two reasons to open it: you're not sure what to build and want a popular, ready-made lineup to copy, or you already know roughly what your opponents field and want to put together a counter-arrangement to it. Either way, the lists show you where the crowd is.
What the tier lists show
The Squad & Hero Tier Lists page has two parts:
- Hero tiers — the most-fielded heroes, ranked per squad slot (1–5) and overall. Each hero shows its share of squads plus a typical build: median level, quality, rank, and weapon level.
- Composition tiers — the most-fielded 5-hero squads, laid out as a front row (slots 1–2) and back row (slots 3–5), with a typical squad power for each comp.
Everything is sorted into S / A / B / C / D bands by how common it is, so the popular picks are easy to spot at a glance.
Filter to your bracket
What's popular at 8M power isn't what's popular at 80M, so the lists are filterable:
- Season — every season, including Pre-season.
- Army type — Tank, Missile, Aircraft, Mixed, or All.
- Strength — squad power brackets, plus a Top 10% and Top 1% view to see what the strongest players field.
Pick a season, narrow to your army type and bracket, and the hero and composition lists update to that slice. If a slice is too thin to be meaningful, the page falls back to a broader one and tells you.
How the data is built
The lists reflect combat squads fielded across the map over the prior 30 days, and are kept current. Nothing about a battle's result is involved — these are publicly fielded squads, the same ones any player can see marching on the map. It's a read-only snapshot of the field, meant to answer "what is everyone running right now?"
Pair it with the Warzone Statistics page to see how a squad meta sits inside the wider warzone picture.
