Immortal Codex Character Tier List

Immortal Codex is a team-based idle RPG game with characters based on gods and mythological creatures from different pantheons, but since there are so many, make sure you check out our tier list for help.

The Best Characters in Immortal Codex

When building a team in Immortal Codex, you need to choose five characters that work the best together from among your roster of units.

• Make a good balance between offensive, defensive, and supportive units
• Do be aware of each unit's suit color as well, because certain formations unlock additional stat bonuses in battle.

While there are lower rarity units that you can upgrade beyond their initial starting rank, you won't be using them outside of the early game, because they usually only have one or two abilities, compared to the five that the Mythic units possess. This Immortal Codex tier list will focus on those higher rarity units, since they will be the ones you want to chase and upgrade for the late game.

S Tier - The Meta Characters

The best characters in Immortal Codex, regardless of where you're at in the game. All of them are the best examples of their classes, and you'll want to invest in them as much as you can, since they give the biggest return.

Character	Details
Fengyi Clubs - Mage	+ Fengyi deals amazing AoE damage, especially with her ultimate, easily dealing with large groups of enemies. + Her Whirlwind stacks grant her significant boosts to her attack and can be stacked easily. + You get her at the start of the game, making her an amazing F2P option and a great start to your account.
Freya Clubs - Support	+ Freya is by far the best healer in the game, with her strong heals always prioritizing the ally who needs it most. + Her ultimate is an amazing source of continuous healing, making it difficult for your team to die. + Her Artifact passively mitigates the damage she takes by 20%.
Athena Diamonds - Support	+ An amazing frontline support unit that mitigates damage, stuns enemies, heals allies, and even buffs their damage and survivability. + Athena offers great attack speed buffs both at the start of the battle and when she enhances her Holy Protection aura + Her ultimate is an amazing source of protection, with the aura being placed down at the start of the battle, and every time it’s activated it shields allies within it and becomes more powerful.
Zeus Starlight - Mage	+ Zeus is an amazing damage dealer with both great single-target and area of effect damage. + Summons clones of himself throughout the battle that deal damage and draw the enemy's attention away from the rest of your team. + His Overload Release makes him a great recipient of buffs. It further grants him attack speed and ultimate damage for every stack, with an additional massive damage boost when he reaches max stacks.
Amun-Ra Starlight - Warrior	+ A great frontline damage dealer, lots of utility that almost makes him a quasi support, with an ult that turns him into a weapon of mass destruction. + His Dazzling ability is a great source of damage, while also reducing the enemy's attack. + Amun-Ra gives a massive boost to the survivability of the whole team at the start of the battle. This lasts long enough to mitigate any large bursts of damage from the enemies
Nyx Starlight - Assassin	+ She teleports behind an enemy at the start of the battle, dealing massive damage, stunning them, and preventing energy regeneration, allowing you to delete a problematic unit easily. + Nyx deals insane single-target damage with her abilities, while her ultimate Night’s Corrosion does damage to every enemy trapped inside. It also makesNyx untargetable, as an added bonus. + Besides her amazing damage, she also offers some great crowd control and has a lot of ways to increase her survivability.
Isis Hearts - Marksman	+ Isis is the best Marksman in the game, with a simple kit that’s easy to use and provides crazy amounts of damage. + Her damage ramps up throughout the fight thanks to her Call True Name passive, which ends up doubling her attack speed by the end. + Her basic attacks scale incredibly with any attack speed buffs, her own or from other allies, because of her Arrow of Omniscience that shoots out after every two basic attacks.
Nemesis Spades - Assassin	+ Nemesis deals great damage and dashes to enemies with her abilities, allowing her to switch targets with ease and minimize downtime. + Duelist’s Dance is a great damage boosting passive that will trigger plenty of times throughout the fight. It also grants a dodge chance if you have her Artifact unlocked. + Her ultimate Gleaming Blade Waltz makes her untargetable and unleashes amazing magic damage to every enemy in her path.
Nuwa Starlight - Tank	+ Nuwa is the most flexible tank unit in the game, due to her being able to summon three additional units to the battlefield. + Her Golems each have a different role that represents the holy trinity of tank, DPS, and healer, which makes her a flexible addition to every team, providing you with what you might be lacking, or enhancing what you already have. + Can give a massive shield to multiple allies at a time, including her own golems. + She’s great for every stage of the game, but is especially amazing if you get her early on, because she can represent a one-woman army.

A Tier - Strong Characters

Very strong characters that bring either amazing damage or awesome utility to your team. While they might not be as all-around powerful as the ones in the S Tier, these are all still great Immortal Codex characters that are worth having.

Character	Details
Anubis Clubs - Assassin	+ Anubis is an amazing physical damage dealer with lots of ways to stun the enemy units throughout the fight, giving him some great utility as well. + His ultimate Judgement of the Dead is amazing for executing enemies because of its insane damage and the energy refund it gives on kills. + Can reduce the healing effects received by enemies with his Scythe Shadow ability and has a built-in panic button in the form of God of Funerals, which makes him untargetable after falling below 50% HP.
Poseidon Spades - Warrior	+ Poseidon is a great frontline unit with lots of crowd control and shields to protect himself, allowing him to stay in the middle of the fight and keep the enemies focused on him. + Has lots of ways to regain his energy, which leads to spamming his ultimate Tsunami that deals great damage and pushes foes back. + After you unlock and upgrade his Artifact, he starts every battle with his ultimate, making it easier to get to the enemy back line.
Demeter Clubs - Tank	+ Demeter is an amazing tank with damage mitigation in the form of her Bountiful stacks, each giving her a 15% damage reduction. + Does some pretty decent damage with her Growing Thorns, which also steal the enemy's energy. + She has lots of shielding and healing in her kit, making it very hard for the enemies to take her down, especially when she uses her ultimate Earth’s Vitality, which gives her a lot of healing and immobilizes enemies around her.
Dionysus Starlight - Support	+ Dionysus is a great support that provides healing and massive buffs to the whole team with her Hymn of the Gods ultimate. It buffs their attack, attack speed, energy regen, movement speed, and reduces their cooldowns. + Her Spirit’s Blessing gives allies increased resistance depending on how many different classes you have on your team, letting you get creative with your setup. + Escapes behind allies when targeted by enemies, making it hard to pin her down, while also healing allies instead of using basic attacks.
Hecate Spades - Mage	+ Hecate does a lot of continuous damage that scales with her current HP, which is easy to keep high due to the lifesteal and healing she has in her kit. + Her ultimate, The World’s Dark Side, deals amazing continuous area of effect damage, while restoring her HP at the end. + Has a great stun in the form of her Trinity Sword that prioritizes enemies in the backline.
Momus Spades - Tank	+ Momus is a very solid tank that can taunt enemies with his ultimate Come and Get Me, leaving other allies free from danger. + Does some pretty decent damage both with Bomb Party, which also knocks down enemies, and the counterattacks from Pain… How Wonderful. + Has great survivability thanks to Trickster’s Magic, which grants him large shields every time he uses an ability. If that’s not enough, however, after dropping to 50% HP for the first time, he becomes invisible and summons a clone in his place to take some of the heat off of himself.
Artemis Clubs - Marksman	+ Artemis is a very evasive damage dealer that also provides some crowd control with her Pinpoint Shot ability. + Every time she gets attacked, her Hunter’s Trap triggers, giving her 100% dodge chance at max level. + Her ultimate Gale Shot provides a massive DPS boost, while also giving her increased survivability and super armor, making it impossible for the enemies to stop her during the duration.
Ares Diamonds - Tank	+ Ares is a very durable tank that deals pretty decent damage, with his attack increasing the lower his HP gets, and has the ability to lower enemies' armor. + His ultimate Battle Storm makes him immune to crowd control and gives him 80% damage reduction when you unlock his Artifact. + He resists fatal damage once per battle, gaining immunity to all damage and crowd control for five seconds instead with his Unyielding Will passive.
Phoenix Diamonds - Marksman	+ She’s able to do some instance damage with her attacks and abilities, while her Soul Scorch stacks doing constant damage over time as well. + Phoenix has a much-needed heal built into her kit and can revive herself thanks to her Ascension ability. + Her damage scales with the less HP she has, which her whole kit revolves around. - She does incredible damage, but it comes at the cost of her own HP, making her a bit risky if you don’t support her properly.

B Tier - Good Characters

These are still good units that you can use throughout the different game modes, but they aren't as good as the characters in the tiers above, and have some negative sides to them, either due to their kits or just the fact that some S or A-tier characters do their job better.

Character	Details
Jormungandr Clubs - Warrior	+ On entry, Jormungandr summons a poison mist with his Toxic Bloom that deals poison damage over time, which also triggers upon death. + Has a lot of mobility and ways to displace enemy units, putting them in more advantageous positions for your team. + Molting makes it so he stays alive for an extra five seconds and releases the damage he takes during that period as true damage to all surrounding enemies. - The most unique parts of his kit are tied to his dying, which is something you would rather avoid, obviously.
Medusa Spades - Marksman	+ Her kit revolves around applying Serpent's Kiss Marks, which empower her other abilities and reduce the target's magic resistance, increasing the magic damage of your whole team. + Her Petrifying Gaze ultimate stuns all enemies in a cone in front of her and reduces the healing they receive. + Her Arcane Serpent ability is easily spammable thanks to her Serpent Hair passive. - While she offers pretty nice utility to the team, her own damage can be lacking compared to other marksman units, at least until Medusa sets up her marks on all the enemies.
Horus Diamonds - Assassin	+ His ultimate Vengeful Slaughter is amazing, giving him massive boosts to his stats, empowering his other abilities, and giving him a 100% crit rate. + When Horus drops below 50% HP, he leaves the battlefield for five seconds and returns with his energy restored, making it easier to cast his ultimate. - Unfortunately, his whole kit revolves around the Revenge state that his ultimate puts him in, making it so he feels very underwhelming when he’s not in it. The payoff is huge when it activates, but you will feel its absence when it’s not online.
Yanluo Hearts - Warrior	+ Yanluo has a lot of ways to disrupt the enemies, whether it’s through his crowd control effects or by reducing the energy of everyone that attacks him. + His ultimate Underworld Judgement scales with the enemy's attack, making it an amazing boss-killing ability. + When there are no enemies in range, he pulls them toward himself, prioritizing enemies in the backline. - Outside of his ultimate, his damage is pretty underwhelming, but if you get past that, the utility he brings makes up for it.
Caishen Hearts - Support	+ Caishen serves as an energy battery for the whole team, thanks to his ultimate Rolling in Riches, which grants a burst of energy and energy regeneration over time as well. + His Gold Ingots heal allies when they drop below 50% HP, while he protects himself with his passive Fortune Smiles, which negates fatal damage once per battle. - If the enemies burn through his stacks of Gold Ingots too fast, he doesn’t have a way to heal allies until their cooldown resets, making him an unreliable healer.
Bastet Diamonds - Assassin	+ Bastet can reduce the enemy's accuracy with her Bastet’s Pirouette ability, a rare debuff that helps your whole team avoid damage. + Her survivability is pretty amazing, between her Feline Agility that lets her straight up ignore damage if it would take away 10% or more of her HP, and Swiftness that gives her 25% dodge chance when below 50% HP. - Her burst damage is very underwhelming when compared to higher-tier assassins.
Diana Clubs - Marksman	+ Diana increases all allies' energy regeneration, attack, and movement speed at the start of the battle. + Can apply 20% armor reduction to the enemy with the highest armor stat, which is especially strong against elites and bosses. - Her great team utility comes at the cost of her own damage, with her Moonshadow ability offering a loss to DPS until you upgrade it fully. She can be a pretty decent utility unit, but requires heavy investment for her own damage to matter.
Hela Spades - Mage	+ Hela steals energy from enemies with her Corruption of the Living ability and gets bonus energy with her Soul Devour passive every time a unit dies, so it becomes very easy to cast her ultimate multiple times. + Ultimate Decay is a great source of damage and is the thing her kit revolves around. - While her damage is pretty comparable to other mages, she doesn't offer any real utility, other than reducing the enemy's energy every so often.
Set Diamonds - Warrior	+ Set grants all allies lifesteal and attack boosts with his Sandborn Fury passive aura. + He can protect allies that are low on HP by jumping to them and granting them and himself a shield and an attack speed buff. + His main source of damage is Sand Burial, which does a lot of damage by default, but gets stronger with every cast and can reduce the enemy's armor when upgraded. - Sadly, all the unique and cool parts of his kit are locked behind heavy investment, making him a very bad unit when you first unlock him.
Khepri Spades - Tank	+ Khepri gains a lot of shields during the battle through the Sandstorm Crush and Scarab's Blessing, the latter of which also provides damage reduction. + Brings a lot of crowd control to the team by knocking back enemies at the start of the battle and any time Khrepri uses the ultimate Charge Beetle. - Khrepri's damage isn't anything to write home about, and the dashes Khepri performs during abilities can end up in awkward positions, leaving backline allies exposed.
Iris Spades - Support	+ Disrupts the enemies with her stuns and silences, letting your allies get in there and do damage without risks. + Iris can teleport behind allies when in danger, boosting their attack speed in the process. Also increases the damage received by enemies when using her ultimate Bloom, making her a great team buffer. - Her own damage is lacking even for a support, and her cooldowns are on the longer side.

C Tier - Skippable Characters

While none of these units are unplayable, now we're getting into those units that are worth skipping. You'll eventually end up pulling some of them, and they might fill a hole in your team that you desperately need. They are better than lower-rarity units, but I don't recommend investing heavily in them.

Character	Details
Ullr Hearts - Tank	+ His Absolute Zero passive links him to a backline ally, making him take some damage instead of them and jumping back to protect them when they fall below 30% HP once per battle. + Ullr has a pretty nice shield that uses his current HP to cast, but scales with his max HP, so it always gives you more than it takes. - The most unique thing about him, his Absolute Zero ability, is a good panic button, but it is ultimately not needed if you set up your team properly. - His damage can be pretty lackluster even for a tank.
Surtr Hearts - Mage	+ Surtr offers some pretty nice crowd control while still doing their job as a damage dealer. + Their Unquenchable passive gives them a shield and attack boost after every three ability casts. - While they can still do some great damage, it can pale in comparison to other mages.
Prometheus Hearts - Tank	+ Prometheus is immune to knockback effects and has a permanent passive damage reduction that increases when in the Punishment state. + His ultimate Shackles of Sin does pretty good damage for a tank, while also giving him a massive shield and entering Punishment state, which enhances his other abilities. - Much like Horus, his kit revolves around a specific state, which is unreliable and only active during his ultimate. It wouldn't be that bad if the ultimate had a fixed duration, but it only lasts while he has energy left, which drains pretty quickly when it's active.
Jingwei Hearts - Assassin	+ Her attack gets boosted when allies use ults, thanks to her Grand Entrance passive, which also grants a crit rate increase when fully stacked. + Her ultimate Howling Hurricane has a low energy cost, making it a very spammable attack. - Her damage is very underwhelming compared to other assassins. Even her Stormfeather Blade, which lets Jingwei jump to the backline, lacks any utility provided by similar abilities from other characters in her class.
Yuelao Hearts - Support	+ Yuelao links two units with the Red Thread of Fate at the start of the battle, increasing their HP, attack, and resistances. + Can buff the linked allies with their abilities, while also providing some nice healing to keep them alive throughout the battle. - While they do provide a lot of healing and buffs for your two best units, they don't do much by themselves and require you to have two very strong units that you want to buff in the first place. You pretty much trade one character slot in your team, so that your tankiest and strongest units get buffed.
Pan Clubs - Support	+ Pan has some great ways of delaying the enemy's abilities by silencing them with his Whisper or removing their energy with his ultimate Malice. + He has some good crowd control, being able to put enemies to sleep or inflict them with fear. - While he provides utility, his damage is almost non-existent, and he can suffer against big groups of enemies.
Sekhmet Diamonds - Warrior	+ Her Fighting Spirit can give her a 100% attack boost when fully stacked up. + Sekhmet can focus on a specific enemy and challenge them to a duel, receiving 50% less damage from enemies outside the duel until it's over. - Sadly, her damage relies on lots of small and fast attacks that don't do well against heavily armored enemies. While her duel gimmick can be pretty fun to use, it also makes it so the enemy in the duel receives less damage from the rest of your team, making it a bit awkward to use.
Geb Diamonds - Tank	+ A defensive wall that repels enemy attacks and throws them back at them, dealing damage based on his max HP. + Geb has lots of ways to protect himself through shields and damage mitigation, while also helping the team with knockbacks. - Aside from the limited crowd control he does, he doesn't bring anything to the team other than his HP bar. While he isn't a bad unit, other tanks just bring more to the team.
