Castle Duels Tier List Ranks Best Legendary and Epic Cards
A new tier list for Castle Duels ranks the game's Legendary and Epic cards, with Banshee and Cowboy leading the S Tier.
A complete tier list for the mobile game Castle Duels details the best Legendary and Epic cards for players to target. The guide, sourced from Pocket Gamer and updated on September 6th, 2026 for game version 24.0, aims to help players build powerful decks by focusing their scarce resources on the most effective units.
According to the source, Legendary cards are the best in the game but are generally locked until reaching Arena 4, with some exceptions. Players are advised to upgrade a selection of early cards to progress and then save Gold for acquiring and upgrading the powerful Legendary units once they become available.
Castle Duels Tier List
The tier list categorizes cards into four ranks: S, A, B, and C. The S Tier represents the most powerful cards recommended for priority investment.
S Tier Card Breakdown
Banshee tops the list as an ever-scaling card that deals more damage based on the number of units on the battlefield. Cowboy is highlighted for his ability to pull and stun a specific enemy. Tinker deals multi-target damage and fires a large final projectile. Magma Spirit can be extremely powerful, setting itself and enemies on fire while regenerating health from burning foes. Reaper is noted for his crowd control immunity and constant stunning.
Other notable S Tier cards include Shiba, a fighter who stuns and applies Shock, and Witch, a control unit that can teleport enemies back and burn their energy. The source states, "She can be a really good control unit since she can teleport enemies back, slowing them down and burning their energy."
A Tier and Lower Ranks
A Tier cards are described as very strong but not the absolute best. Lil' Dragon is a potent area damage dealer, while Electron remains useful later in the game for its damage-over-time and slowing effects. Risen is called an "outstanding Epic tank" who can taunt and shield himself.
B Tier cards are situational or better in the early game. Vampire is recommended for early stages to eliminate weaker backline enemies. Zeus is a capable area damage dealer but lacks other effects. C Tier cards, like Archer and Bat, are considered decent only at the very start of a player's journey. The guide notes that Hungry Truffle is a "super fun card" but sadly does not carry into the late game.
The article, originally by Cristina Mesesan and updated by Mihail Katsoris, concludes by suggesting players focus on the top-ranked cards or build synergies with what they have until more are unlocked.
