Project Entropy (Entropy 2099, com.entropy.global) is a free-to-play sci-fi 4X strategy/RPG MMO from FunPlus that blends empire-building, hero collection, and large-scale alliance warfare. In combat you pair collectible heroes with vehicles and mechs in grid-based formations, then fight real-time battles where hero skills, elements (nuclear, thermal, energy/lightning), and positioning matter. Heroes act as troop leaders granting passive buffs, so team-building is really about hero-plus-vehicle synergy rather than heroes fighting alone.
Data source & confidence
This ranking is based on two independent third-party tier lists (BlueStacks, dated Jan 2024; LDPlayer, dated 2023-2025) that closely agree, cross-checked against the official site and Google Play as of July 2026. Because that source data is roughly 2+ years old and the live roster/meta has almost certainly changed, every hero placement below should be treated as needs-verification against the current in-game build.
Methodology
We ranked only heroes documented across multiple sources with consistent faction/role/skill data, and we used the official site to confirm the formation and Speedrun Formations systems exist. The tier positions come from older but mutually-agreeing external tier lists, not from a verified July 2026 meta, so we flag uncertainty rather than presenting a confident current-meta ranking. The official Speedrun Formations tool could not be used because it sits behind an account login.
Hero tier list
| Hero | Tier | Faction | Role | Best formation | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ahmed Samir Boosts vehicle skill-trigger probability and firepower; strong thermal synergy in both older tier lists. | S | Human | Damage (Thermal) | Thermal Incineration comp with thermal-element vehicles | needs check |
| Hayden Parker Rated S-tier as an enhancement hero across sources, but skill specifics are thin. | S | Human | Buff / Enhancement | Buff anchor behind DPS heroes | needs check |
| Helmut Robinson Deals recurring energy AoE damage and gains bonus damage vs Short-circuit-affected targets, enabling a documented debuff synergy. | S | Human | Damage (Energy/Lightning) | Short-circuit combo paired with Marcus Barclay | needs check |
| Tatiana Valieva Consistently listed S-tier as a leadership/command hero, though her exact current buffs are undocumented. | S | Human | Leader | General leadership core | needs check |
| Vito Coppola Increases supporting-weapon damage (~10%) and recovers Charge points on weapon use, boosting sustained output. | S | Human | Leader / Support | Supporting-weapon-focused comp | needs check |
| Kevin Edwards Fusion skill dispatches a nuclear supporting weapon with ~30% chance to fire again after 1 second. | A | Human | Damage (Nuclear) | Nuclear supporting-weapon comp | needs check |
| Marcus Barclay Applies Short-circuit (enhanced vs Behemoth enemies), setting up energy-damage payoffs. | A | Xeno | Debuff (Short-circuit) | Short-circuit combo with Helmut Robinson; anti-Behemoth | needs check |
| Muhamma Bin Orne Can raise vehicle damage by ~40% when shields are present and launches electromagnetic vehicles. | A | Human | Damage (Electromagnetic) | Shield-reliant burst comp | needs check |
| Summer Listed A-tier as an enhancement hero; limited public skill detail. | A | Human | Buff / Enhancement | Secondary buff support | needs check |
| Anna Mahoney Shield-piercing damage with a bonus against Grod Behemoths; useful in specific PvE fights. | B | Xeno | Damage (Shield-pierce) | Anti-Behemoth / Grod hunting comp | needs check |
| Xianglong Wang Gains a defense boost when a Supporting Weapon is used; treated as an early-game option to replace later. | B | Xeno | Damage | Defensive supporting-weapon comp | needs check |
| Yukiko Deals periodic area damage; a serviceable early damage dealer per older sources. | B | Human | Damage (Area) | AoE clear comp | needs check |
Best formations
Short-circuit Energy Combo
Heroes: Marcus Barclay, Helmut Robinson
Marcus applies Short-circuit and Helmut amplifies damage against Short-circuited targets — a documented offensive synergy for both PvE and PvP.
Thermal Incineration Core
Heroes: Ahmed Samir, Vito Coppola
Thermal-element burst backed by supporting-weapon uptime and Charge recovery for sustained firepower.
Anti-Behemoth / Grod Hunt
Heroes: Marcus Barclay, Anna Mahoney
Shield-piercing plus Behemoth-enhanced debuffs for PvE boss and world-monster encounters.
Early game vs late game
Early on, focus resources on the mutually-agreed S-tier leaders and damage dealers (Vito Coppola, Tatiana Valieva, Helmut Robinson, Ahmed Samir) since they carry the story/PvE grind with minimal investment. B-tier heroes like Yukiko, Xianglong Wang, and Anna Mahoney are fine stopgaps but are traditionally replaced later. Because heroes are leaders that buff vehicles, late-game strength depends as much on your vehicle/mech loadout and element matching as on the hero themselves.
PvP vs PvE
Project Entropy supports both: PvE spans story missions, resource raids, and Behemoth/Grod hunts, while PvP pits your formation against real commanders in real-time battles plus large alliance warfare. Debuff/synergy comps (e.g. Short-circuit) and speed tuning tend to matter more in PvP, while element-matching and anti-Behemoth specialists shine in PvE. Exact current PvP tier priorities are unclear from public sources and need in-game verification.
FAQ
Is this tier list current for July 2026?
No. It reflects the best publicly available third-party data (2023-2024 tier lists that agree with each other), not a verified July 2026 meta. Treat placements as a starting reference and confirm against the live game.
Who should a new player prioritize?
The consistently S-rated core — Vito Coppola, Tatiana Valieva, Helmut Robinson, Ahmed Samir, and Hayden Parker — has historically offered the strongest early return, but verify they are still top-tier in your game version.
Do heroes fight on their own?
No. Heroes act as troop leaders that buff vehicles and mechs, so your real power comes from pairing the right hero with the right vehicles and matching elements in a formation.
Can I see optimal formations from the official site?
The official site advertises a Speedrun Formations tool, but it is gated behind an account login (UID), so we could not extract or verify its recommendations for this list.
