Sets and Champions: A Cleric’s Perspective

In Hero Realms, each champion has unique abilities and strengths—but how do you determine which cards truly offer the best value? To provide some clarity, I compiled a list of all champions and gave each card a subjective score based on what I consider important in gameplay.

Using these criteria, I calculated a score for every card and then compared these scores to the card’s cost, resulting in a cost coefficient. Low-cost cards are slightly penalized in this system. This is intentional because a powerful high-cost card is often more valuable than multiple cheap cards with less impact.

This approach gives an objective view of each card’s efficiency, making it easy to identify which champions offer the best value for their cost. 

That said, I’m not a data expert. This is the first time I’ve done a data analysis like this, but I hope you find it insightful and that it helps you decide which sets to start with and which champions to buy.

This section explains how the Champion ranking system was created. Each Champion card was given a numerical score based on its effects (such as draw, gold, damage, body, sacrifice, etc). These scores are used to calculate overall value, efficiency compared to cost, and separate ratings for early game and late game impact.

The system is meant to provide a structured and consistent way to compare Champions — not a perfect or absolute judgment of their strength.

So if you’re not interested in the methodology behind the rankings, feel free to skip the next section.
