Heroes
Best Ranger heroes
Every Ranger hero in Last Asylum: Plague, ranked by how often the top squads pick them.
Here’s every Ranger hero in the game, ranked by how often they turn up in the top 1,000 squads in my research at Sanctuary 20. I fought every possible squad of five against the others, with every hero built the way they usually are at that Sanctuary level. It’s a very good guide, but it isn’t the game itself, so treat the ranking as a strong hint.
A hero’s place can change as your game goes on, so each one also shows how often they’re picked at Sanctuary 6 and 30. Tap a hero for their partners, skill order and where to get their shards.
The short answer
The Ranger heroes the top squads pick most, by class.

Making the most of Rangers
- Ranger heroes take 20% less damage from Warrior heroes.
- Warlock heroes take 20% less damage from Rangers, so they’re a tougher target for you.
- Heroes of the same faction boost each other’s HP, ATK and DEF in fights: 3 of a kind +5% (+10% if the other 2 also match), 4 of a kind +15%, all 5 +20%.
- Ranger Statue: Gives every Ranger hero CMD, HP, ATK and DEF. Worth it when your main squad has Rangers in it; otherwise it can wait.
- Ranger Mastery research: Late-game boosts for Ranger heroes. Late game, if your main squads lean on Rangers.
