This Project Entropy tier list ranks the best heroes and vehicles to invest in, compiled on October 18, 2026. It’s based on Mobi.gg’s hero and vehicle tier lists (both updated July 28, 2026), cross-checked against LDPlayer’s older hero rankings and the hero roles described in community guides. Project Entropy has no official tier list, so where sources disagree, I say so.

Key Takeaways
- Ranking date: October 18, 2026, based on community lists updated July 28, 2026
- Vito Coppola and Tatiana Valieva are S tier in every list I checked, and both are Leaders
- Smith joins them at S tier in the most recent hero ranking
- Centaurus, Thunder Turbine, Griffin, Grappler and Great Ape lead the vehicle rankings
- Ahmed Samir fell from S tier in 2023 to C tier in 2026, a sign of how far power creep has moved the meta
How This Tier List Works
S tier units have strong stats and skills and deserve your upgrade materials first. A tier units win battles but trail the top picks, and they’re worth leveling once your core is set. B tier is solid early and should be replaced as you progress. C tier is mostly useful for learning the mechanics.
Remember that a formation combines a hero, a vehicle and supporting weapons, and some Fusion Skills reward stacking heroes from the same civilization: Human, The Utu, Automatons or The Beasts. A lower-tier hero that fits your faction can outperform a higher-tier hero that doesn’t.
Hero Tier List (October 18, 2026)
S tier:
- Vito Coppola (Leader)
- Tatiana Valieva (Leader)
- Smith
A tier: Helmut Robinson (Damage), James Belfort, Hayden Parker (Buff), Muhamma Bin Orne (Damage), Dussolier, Leila, Flora and Yukiko.
B tier: Lindsay, Pereira, Simone, Billy, Summer, Iris, Elena, Kevin Edward and Marchioli.
C tier: Lorraine, Jessica, Xianglong, Ahmed, Marcus, Tonya, Anna and Maya.
Why the leaders lead: both Vito Coppola and Tatiana Valieva are Leaders, so they shape a whole formation rather than one slot. LDPlayer notes that Vito’s Fusion Skill, Mafia Umbrella, raises supporting weapon damage by 10%, and Talk Android highlights Tatiana’s defensive bonuses. Helmut Robinson is the standout damage dealer below them: his lightning skill hits the target and nearby enemies every 10 seconds.
How the Hero Meta Has Shifted
Comparing lists shows how much newer heroes have changed the picture. LDPlayer’s 2023 ranking put Helmut Robinson, Hayden Parker and Ahmed Samir in S tier, with Summer, Marcus Barclay and Kevin Edwards in A. By Mobi.gg’s July 2026 update, Helmut and Hayden had dropped to A, Summer and Kevin to B, and Ahmed and Marcus all the way to C.
The two constants are Vito Coppola and Tatiana Valieva, who sit at S tier in both. If you’re unsure where to spend, they’re the safest long-term investments.
Vehicle Tier List (October 18, 2026)
S tier:
- Centaurus
- Thunder Turbine
- Griffin
- Roaming Star
- Grappler
- Great Ape
- Fission Walker
A tier: Aura, Raven, Mirage, Siren, Dragonfly, Stegosaurus, Zeus, Prism, Stormbreak and Umbrella.
B tier: Guard, Fallout, Titanium Roller, Reverberator, Robotech One, Porcupine and Spotlight.
The vehicle pool mixes tanks, aircraft and mechs, per the App Store listing, and you’ll see several of these names on the Base Station screen in Steam’s screenshots, including Griffin, Siren, Raven, Grappler and Umbrella. That makes it easy to spot which of your current vehicles deserve parts.
Mobi.gg calls the S tier vehicles worth your upgrade resources for both PvP and PvE. The A tier group is useful through the mid-game, and B tier vehicles struggle in PvP even when upgraded.
Upgrade Priorities
Vehicles take parts in four modification slots: arm, armor, propulsion and navigation systems. Because parts and hero materials are limited, my advice is to commit to one main formation first: an S tier Leader, an S tier vehicle and your best damage hero. Fill a second formation only after the first is well developed.
Steam reviewers frequently describe PvP as spending-heavy, so free players get the most value from heroes that stay useful across seasons. That points back to the two Leaders who have held S tier for years.
