Horde Invasion Season 3 Role Tier List

SerrabloomPurpleTank

Use lane control and self-healing to anchor the front, but expect less damage than in earlier seasons. Pick damage dealers for each boss matchup rather than moving Serrabloom around as the answer to every boss. Keep healing within reach.

BlitzmanePurpleGuardian

A dependable early frontline when more specialized choices are not ready. Lightning damage and control help hold the lane while the team develops. Keep its support near useful attackers; choose it for stability rather than expecting the largest late-run damage total.

VoltverinePurpleGuardian

A strong Season 3 frontline damage option even at T3. Work toward in-match Lv.7 when the team's survival budget allows it. Its brief Invincibility still leaves gaps, so back it with healing instead of assuming it can tank every hit alone.

RockzillaPurpleTank

A sturdy Rock frontliner with useful damage, making it a practical anchor when the run needs more than another fragile carry. Match it with healing and a complementary damage element so the team can handle the next boss wave.

LickflickerRedGuardian

Still a useful Fire frontliner, though its damage is less dominant this season. Reposition it near the current damage dealer to make use of its attack boost. If one frontline slot must go, compare its contribution with Serrabloom or Voltverine before spending more Candy.

VoltmareRedDPS

A strong Lightning boss-damage choice from the back row. Use it when the frontline already survives, then choose upgrades around the boss matchup rather than filling every slot with the same element. Zapantler can complement it when both damage slots have a clear job.

WaveflutterDPS

One of the strongest Season 3 damage options in either the front or back row. Aim for in-match Lv.7 when the core team is stable. Across the co-op formation, test a front-and-back pair or two front copies; a frontline copy still needs enough durability and healing to stay active.

ZenscarabDPS

Useful Rock damage when the rest of the formation is heavy on other elements. Its Season 3 output is worth a slot, but it is not an automatic first Lv.7 project. Cover survival and higher-impact upgrades before spending the last Candy on its ceiling.

FlarevixPurpleDPS

Strong back-row Fire damage gives the team an alternative to a Lightning-heavy damage plan. Use an already-developed copy when it improves the boss matchup, and keep a stable frontline ahead of it so burst windows are not lost to an early collapse.

ZapantlerPurpleDPS

A strong back-row Lightning option, including alongside Voltmare when both help the current bosses. Compare damage needs with missing healing or control before committing a second Lightning slot. Its DPS role does not replace a frontliner.

SolafloraHealer

A core middle-row support for healing and team sustain. Keep the pressured frontliners inside its support area and secure that recovery before chasing extra damage upgrades. Its value comes from keeping useful attackers active through the next wave.

CheerspringSupport

A first-choice middle support for healing and attack and defense boosts. Place it where the frontline and active damage dealers can benefit, then protect its Candy budget when survival becomes the blocker. Additional damage slots cannot replace reliable recovery.

SonarbatSpecialist

A strong middle support when its damage setup and ally boosts cover useful teammates. Coordinate a bat swap with your partner so both sides benefit instead of leaving two copies idle in poor positions. Judge the resulting team damage, not only Sonarbat's own number.

AquarielRedSupport

A core back-row healer whose waves add damage boosts and damage reduction. Coordinate one on each player's side for broad coverage, using the back-row spaces often reserved for Waveflutter. Keep the wave paths on important allies rather than placing both copies against an edge.

HyphoriaSupport

Still a useful middle support for spore coverage and team buffs, though Sonarbat competes strongly for that slot this season. Usually coordinate one across the pair and use the freed slot for another support or element. This is a starting lineup choice, not a duplicate restriction.

DreadclawGuardian

Coordinate one across the co-op formation, preferably on the left player's outside lane so its claw sweep travels across the board. It remains a strong Water frontline choice. Add a second only when the coverage and survival gain beat a different tank or damage slot.

ArmorjawTank

Pull distant bosses into the team's damage reach rather than letting several lanes wait for contact. Usually start with one across the pair and coordinate the pull timing and position. The payoff needs active positioning; moving a boss away from the main damage lane can waste the setup.

ChronervaSupport

A useful middle- or back-row option when extra healing and support help the team stay alive. Two copies across those rows can work in developed high-difficulty teams. Treat that as an investment-dependent option, not proof that a low-star copy should move into the frontline.

ZorrockRedSupport

A conditional middle-row option for damage plus healing and attack support from returning Lackeys. Season 3 results are less established than the core middle supports, so test an already-raised copy before committing food. Its broad attack area still needs useful targets and support recipients.

SilversearDPS

A high-priority support-damage option that usually needs only one copy across the pair. Save Energizers until the intended team is deployed, then rush in-match Lv.3 to start the attack-boost plan. Coordinate the setup rather than scattering early upgrades across unfinished slots.

SeaswirlPurpleDPS

A usable back-row Water alternative when its damage and control fit the draft. Usually coordinate one and place it centrally for wave coverage. Prefer the stronger core back-row choices first when they are equally developed, but keep an existing Seaswirl that solves a concrete gap.

TideonPurpleDPS

Slow and Fragile still give the back row a useful support job. Start with one across the pair and keep its coverage central. It is a secondary choice behind the stronger Season 3 backliners when those already cover the team's damage and sustain needs.

RockshellPurpleGuardian

Front-row shielding is a fallback when a core tank is unavailable, especially on an already-built copy. Choose it for protection before expecting top damage. Test the current difficulty instead of carrying an older season's high-investment damage expectations into every run.

HellhoundPurpleGuardian

A usable Fire frontline alternative, particularly in earlier difficulty pushes or with a clear star advantage. Its damage and survival are less convincing than the core Season 3 frontliners at higher pressure. Keep investment tied to a lane it actually stabilizes.

KangachampGuardian

Charged punches can fill a spare frontline slot, but it is a lower-priority Season 3 alternative. Use an existing copy when the draft lacks a holder and compare the result with a core tank. Do not force a fresh build just to fill the punching role.

StoodbeakPurpleTank

Ice Shield counterattacks can cover a missing Water frontline, but it is not a first-choice Season 3 tank. Prefer a strong existing star advantage and check the lane through a full shield cycle. Replace it when a core holder provides more dependable survival.

RockongPurpleDPS

A useful frontline replacement when the strongest options are missing, with enough damage to contribute outside a single narrow setup. Move it where the run needs that extra pressure, but keep the lane supported rather than assuming damage alone will hold the front.

BlizzgrizzRedTank

An invested copy can provide Water lane pressure and recovery support, but star levels matter against established tanks. Use it when those existing upgrades make the frontline safer. Avoid judging a newly acquired low-star copy by another account's developed version.

ChefuguSupport

Can fill a frontline alternative slot while adding healing and attack boosts. Put it near allies that can quickly use both support items and check its survival under the current boss. Its support role is useful, but a fragile copy should not replace a dependable holder.

TaiglowGuardian

A middle-row Fire alternative when the core supports are not available. Damage and recovery can help a developed copy hold its own, but it is usually harder to justify after Solaflora and Cheerspring leave only one middle slot. Fill the team's missing job first.

ThornwispRedDPS

Poison still supplies usable Grass damage, but it no longer has the same dominant Season 3 payoff. Keep an existing copy when it helps the matchup and lets the frontline survive long enough for damage to build. Do not assume older Poison totals will repeat.

PyroclobsterDPS

A back-row Fire alternative when the draft needs that element and stronger options are missing. Try an already-built copy before making it a new upgrade project. A close-range damage setup still needs enough investment and healing to survive; do not apply that result to a fragile low-form copy.

ToucanzamPurpleTank

Links can boost useful attackers while its defensive effect covers a frontline gap. It is a Season 3 alternative rather than a default pick, so choose the linked allies deliberately. Compare the whole lane's output and survival with a core support before spending more.

CharflutterTank

Healing and buffs make it a reasonable middle-row fallback when the preferred supports are unavailable. Keep its help on the allies taking repeated pressure. If Solaflora and Cheerspring are already active, compare the remaining slot with Sonarbat, Chronerva, or Hyphoria first.

HothogSupport

A conditional middle support for a team that can afford its HP-spending attacks and use the resulting protection. Keep a reliable healer alongside the plan. It is a fallback for an established roster, not a reason to delay the core recovery package.

PandarriorDPS

Bamboo damage and Slow can add back-row Grass coverage when the draft needs it. Season 3 value is more situational than the core backliners, so prefer an existing investment and a clear target lane. Do not expect it to replace stronger healing or boss damage by default.

CactoczarDPS

Consider an already-built copy for Grass damage against crowded waves when the draft lacks that element. It remains a back-row fallback this season. Secure core survival, support, and boss damage before investing heavily in another wave-clear slot.

FrugagonPurpleDPS

Grass explosions and Slow can patch a back-row damage gap, but it is a lower-priority Season 3 option. Use existing stars when they improve the current lineup. Do not force it into a formation that already has stronger element coverage.

FrostiquePurpleDPS

Splitting ice and Slow provide a usable Water back-row alternative, though stronger damage and support packages usually take priority. Keep the splitting path on crowded targets and compare results with the developed backliner already working in that slot.

ClangnagaDPS

Piercing sound waves can support a specific back-row damage plan, but it is not a core Season 3 project. Keep an invested copy only when the draft and target pattern reward its attacks. Give reliable sustain and higher-impact boss damage the first Candy.

BorelordSpecialist

Knockback, Stun, and row changes can solve an awkward cluster, but uncontrolled displacement can also move bosses out of the team's reach. Use it for a defined positioning problem and coordinate the lane rather than adding more movement without a damage plan.

FishopusDPS

A developed Water copy can fill an empty back-row damage slot, but its earlier Horde burst reputation does not make it a Season 3 priority. Compare it with the core backliners on the same difficulty before funding an expensive in-match upgrade.
