Final Thoughts & Team-Building Tips
And there you have it—the complete Zoo City hero tier list! The key takeaway is to prioritize acquiring and upgrading those SS and S-Tier heroes like Lycan, Willow, and Aurora for their unmatched versatility and power. However, don’t completely write off the A and B-Tier characters; a perfectly synergized team with a lower-tier hero can sometimes outperform a mismatched squad of top-tiers.
