Welcome to the updated Fellowship tier list for October 2025 on life.gg—your premier destination for gaming guides, redeem codes, news, and dungeon crawler strategies. Fellowship, the co-op multiplayer dungeon crawler from Chief Rebel (published by Arc Games), entered Early Access on October 16, 2025, following a successful Open Beta that introduced 7 heroes across Tanks, DPS, and Healers. With the launch update (Patch 1.0), balance changes like buffs to Mara’s burst and Rime’s scaling have reshaped the meta, emphasizing sustain for endless scaling dungeons and burst for boss phases. This tier list ranks all heroes based on performance in Standard Dungeons (quick runs, league play) and Endless Mode (high-tier scaling, leaderboards).
The roster remains 7 heroes: Tanks (Helena, Meiko); DPS (Ardeos, Mara, Rime, Tariq); Healers (Sylvie, Vigour). Tiers reflect endgame viability (Patch 1.0, October 18, 2025), with S-tier heroes dominating 85%+ of top teams. Focus on synergies like energy denial for bosses and HoT chains for sustain—guides recommend maxing Signature Items and talents for these. F2P? Prioritize Sylvie and Helena for queues.
October 2025 Meta Highlights:
- Patch 1.0 Changes: Mara’s stealth cooldown -20%; Rime’s orbs now cleave +15%; Tariq’s Swing Timer buffed for +30% DPS on perfect timing. Vigour remains niche but viable with burst events.
- Archetypes: Tanks for mitigation; DPS for burst/AoE; Healers for sustain. New “Endless” mode favors Sylvie/Rime.
- Tiers Defined: SSS (God-Tier): Meta-defining; SS (Elite): Core for 90% content; S (Strong): Reliable; A (Viable): Niche; B (Average): Early-game only.
Community averages (Method.gg/TierMaker): Sylvie 95% S+, Mara 92%; Vigour ~60% A/B.
Overall Fellowship Tier List October 2025 (Early Access)
Composite ranking for dungeons and Endless Mode, based on Method.gg and Destructoid. Sustain healers and burst DPS top charts; Tariq scales to SS with practice.
| Tier | Heroes (Archetype) |
|---|---|
| SSS (God-Tier) | Sylvie (Healer) – Pet-based HoT chains and revives; unmatched sustain for Endless scaling. Dominates 95% of top teams. Mara (DPS) – Stealth flanks and burst; post-patch, her single-target output is unmatched for bosses. |
| SS (Elite) | Rime (DPS) – Winter Orbs AoE and CC; +15% cleave buff makes her wave queen. Helena (Tank) – Builder/Spender Toughness; easiest tank for mitigation and peels. |
| S (Strong) | Tariq (DPS) – Swing Timer mastery for +30% DPS; high skill ceiling, meta with timing. Meiko (Tank) – Combo counters and buffs; reactive agility for skilled players. |
| A (Viable) | Ardeos (DPS) – Fire DoT for sustained damage; niche kiting but shines in DoT events. |
| B (Average) | Vigour (Healer) – Burst heals and buffs; solid but lacks depth vs. Sylvie in long fights. |
Investment Notes: F2P? Start with SSS like Sylvie for queues and Mara for carry potential. My 2025 meta favors sustain post-patch—Rime’s cleave elevates her to SS for AoE dominance.

DPS Tier List October 2025 (Damage and Wave Clears)
DPS focus burst/AoE; Rime/Mara top for scaling post-cleave buffs.
| Tier | Heroes |

| SSS | Mara – Stealth bursts; #1 for boss phases. |
| SS | Rime – AoE orbs with +15% cleave; wave meta. |
| S | Tariq – Swing Timer; +30% DPS on perfect plays. |
| A | Ardeos – Fire DoT; good for sustained fights. |
| B | N/A |
Highlights: Rime’s burst window is “incredible for bosses” per Escapist; Mara’s scaling rewards skill.
Tank Tier List October 2025 (Frontline Mitigation)
Tanks peel and absorb; Helena edges for ease.
| Tier | Heroes |
|---|---|
| SS | Helena – Toughness absorption; forgiving for all. |
| S | Meiko – Combo self-buffs; high ceiling for pros. |
| A | N/A |
| B | N/A |
Insights: Helena’s “dependable” kit makes her S for standard play; Meiko shines in Endless.
Healer Tier List October 2025 (Team Sustain)
Healers prevent wipes; Sylvie crushes long runs.
| Tier | Heroes |
|---|---|
| SSS | Sylvie – HoT chains; top for Endless. |
| SS | N/A |

| A | N/A |
| B | Vigour – Burst heals; “not optimal” for groups. |
Spotlights: Sylvie’s “damage + healing” edges Vigour, per Treyexgaming.
