Infinite Magicraid Early Game Tier List: Best Heroes to Build

To progress quickly in Infinite Magicraid, concentrate all early food and awakening resources into a single carry before investing in your wider roster. A single Awakened 5 (A5) damage dealer supported by low-investment defensive heroes clears campaign stages, Mark towers, and gear dungeons far more reliably than five evenly leveled units sitting at Awakened 1 or 2.

Hero Priority Tier List

Best Early Carries: Who to Awaken First

Your main carry dictates how quickly you unlock higher idle rewards and advanced equipment dungeons. Choose one unit based on your initial pulls and bring that hero to max rank first.

• Hezonja: Hezonja is the premier early-to-midgame carry because his damage relies on stacking Burn debuffs. Because Burn deals percentage-based damage over time, he scales against high-health bosses and wave content without requiring optimized Critical Rate and Critical Damage gear sets.
• Mackin: Mackin is the most valuable epic damage dealer for fresh accounts. His multi-hit Bleed mechanics clear campaign waves effectively, and his duplicate copies and epic skill manuals are easy to acquire. Build Mackin to A5 if you do not summon a top-tier legendary carry early.
• Sigmund: Sigmund serves as an offensive frontline option. His provoke debuff controls dangerous targets, and his built-in mitigation makes him resilient during auto-battle clears.
• Lucifer: Lucifer excels at single-target execution and boss dismantling. However, he demands heavier stat investment in Critical Rate and Critical Damage than damage-over-time carries, making him harder to optimize on budget gear.

Essential Supports: Defensive Anchors and Speed Buffers

Do not over-invest awakening materials into supports during the early campaign. Keep your support roster functional at lower tiers while gearing them to protect your carry.

• Wim and Liz (Defensive Dual Core): Pairing Wim and Liz provides enough sustain to survive difficult boss stages without legendary healers. Wim applies shields scaling with his maximum HP, while Liz cleanses crowd control and layers targeted healing over Wim's barrier.
• Space: Space manipulates turn order with Speed buffs and action bar acceleration. Gearing Space with high Speed ensures your squad acts before enemy burst waves can wipe your team.
• Maya: Maya provides direct sustain and continuous recovery, making her a dependable secondary healer if Liz is unavailable.

First Mythic Priority

Mythic shards take weeks of event participation and campaign milestones to assemble. Crafting your first mythic represents a permanent account upgrade.

• Katherine (First Choice): Katherine is the safest initial mythic craft for progression accounts. Her kit features invincibility, team shielding, cleanses, and active heals. This utility stabilizes dungeon farming teams across all element affinities.
• Ben Austin (Alternative for Bossing): Ben Austin forces your team into coordinated assist attacks. While he accelerates Guild Boss rankings and single-target farming, he requires an already maxed, hard-hitting carry on the field to deal meaningful damage.

Early Progression Rules and Action Order

Avoid common roster bottlenecks by following these core upgrade rules:

1. Pick one carry: Commit your promotion materials to either Mackin or a high-tier legendary like Hezonja. Take this unit directly to Awakened 5.
2. Speed-tune your support line: Equip Space or your primary debuffers with enough Speed to act directly before your carry. This sequencing ensures damage buffs and defense debuffs apply before your carry attacks.
3. Equip defensive stats on supports: Prioritize maximum HP, Defense, and Effect Resistance on Wim and Liz so they survive long enough to cycle their shields and cleanses.
4. Hold mythic shards for Katherine: Unless your account already features a fully built carry needing Ben Austin's assist mechanics, save all mythic shards to craft Katherine first.
