Project Entropy pairs hero units with vehicles in both PvE and PvP combat, so a strong roster needs both pieces working together — a great hero in a weak vehicle underperforms, and vice versa. We ranked on stat quality, skill effectiveness, and how well a unit holds up as content difficulty scales, rather than on early-game first impressions alone.
S-Tier
- Xianglong Wang — a Legendary Xeno damage dealer with excellent stats and a skill set that keeps performing as fights get harder, not just in early PvE content.
- Anna Mahoney — another Legendary Xeno damage dealer whose kit scales cleanly into both PvE clears and PvP matchups, making her one of the safer Legendary investments.
- Helmut Robinson — a Legendary damage dealer built around lightning-based skills that reliably wins battles rather than just contributing to them.
A-Tier
- Strong Epic-rarity heroes — several Epics hold their own against weaker Legendaries, especially when their kit fills a role your Legendary heroes don't cover.
- Balanced mid-tier vehicles — vehicles that don't top the vehicle tier list outright but pair well with S-tier heroes, covering mobility or survivability gaps in a squad.
- Support-oriented heroes — less flashy than the Xeno damage dealers, but their buffs and utility skills often decide close PvP fights.
B-Tier
- Average early-to-mid heroes — good enough to win battles early on, but you'll want to replace them as Legendary options become available through progression.
- Single-role vehicles with narrow use cases — effective in one specific matchup or map type, less useful as a general-purpose pick.
C-Tier
- Starter-tier heroes past the tutorial phase — help new commanders through the earliest missions, then get benched almost immediately.
- Outdated vehicle models with no upgrade path — cheap to acquire, but capped low enough that they stop contributing once real PvE and PvP content opens up.
The takeaway
Prioritize a Legendary Xeno damage dealer like Xianglong Wang or Anna Mahoney first, then build your vehicle choice around covering whatever that hero's kit doesn't do on its own. Project Entropy rewards hero-vehicle synergy over chasing rarity alone — a well-paired Epic squad can outperform a mismatched set of Legendaries.
