Tavern Tale hero tier list (February 2026) - Who's the fairest of the them all?

There are over 28 heroes to choose from on our Tavern Tale tier list (with one hidden behind an air of mystery), but some just feel stronger with fun power to wield.

  • Another take on Fairytale fighting versus a giant witch!
  • With heroes from all sorts of stories to choose from, and run the dungeons
  • Between Strength, Agility, and Intelligence, you've got plenty of ranked variety

Even though we've reached a point where fairy tales have been explored in so many ways, that doesn't mean we're going to stop exploring. I mean, just look at Lies of P… They just took the name "Pinocchio" and the idea of puppets to make a stressful and beautiful experience. The Wolf Among Us offered a gritty, engaging view of fairy-tale characters and the hardships they face as they try to survive in the reality they've been forced to live in. Thankfully, Tavern Tale is nearly as dark as any of those stories, as you lead the characters in a crusade to fight against a giant witch.

The battle takes place over a series of storybook-related maps where you must fight through the various summoned enemies and reach the boss at the end. You'll be able to choose one of many fairy tale heroes to head into the fray. Some characters are far more recognisable than others, but they all have a place in this story. They'll be swinging, speeding, and casting magic to destroy all the witches' forces, and you must make the best of their best. However, some heroes are just best in terms of their behaviours, abilities, and stats. So we've put together this Tavern Tale Hero tier list to help you out.

The Exception: Mystery Hero

The Locked Hero's icon.

Tavern Tale is still active and will be releasing new heroes and content as time goes on, including the mysterious mystery hero. Based on the details revealed within the world, not much is known about this hero. All we know is that they're a magic user, and that's pretty much it. For all we know, it's the evil witch's inner child who has managed to separate from her giant body to try and undo the damage she's done. Well, fun speculation is all we have for now. So, without further ado, let's dive into our Tavern Tale tier list.
