The idle genre is growing in popularity among mobile games, somewhat due to our lifestyles, or due to effort involved. Whatever is truly the case, cats are always the perfect cute choice, as there's practically no one who could say no to a full team of cute warrior kitties. Let's take a look at the best hero cats in this Chinese-style warrior kitten game Cat Hero:GO with our detailed tier list.
Best Cats in Cat Hero:GO Ranked
This game features heroes, or cats in several rarities: Epic (purple), Legendary (gold) and Mythic (red). Due to the nature of how you obtain heroes in Cat Hero:GO (both through compass/gold fish pulling and chest opening), it's a fact that you will have a full team of Mythic heroes in no time.
As such, we won't be considering Legendary nor Epic heroes for this tier list, but will instead focus on who the best Mythics are. Mythics outclass the other rarities no matter what. This will give you a chance to make an informed choice and use your Red Fragment selectors wisely, to force your favorite Mythics to appear as early as possible without breaking a sweat. We will consider:
- Stats and attributes.
- Their ease of usage.
- General utility of Mythic heroes.
