This is the ultimate guide for the Graveborn faction.

Which Graveborn hero should you ascend first?

This is the best Graveborn ascension priority list:

➜ ➜  ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜  ➜ ➜  ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜

The best initial wishlist for early game players is: , but swap Hodgkin with Silas after you get Hodgkin’s first copy. Hodgkin can be very useful even at Elite ascension. Nara at Elite ascension is also very useful for early Campaign, but she is not crucial enough to justify putting her in your wishlist right at the beginning. If you just ascended Thoran, be sure to have an Elite copy of Kelthur and Nara. They’re useful with Thoran on Campaign. Baden is another hero that can work pretty well at Elite ascension. An Elite Baden can be useful for you against bosses on Cursed Realm or Abyssal Expedition.

PS: To check which awakened graveborn hero you should ascend first, check our Temple of Time guide.

F-tier Graveborns

Do not invest on Isabella and Shemira. The maximum investment you should put into these heroes is signature level 10 or 20, in case you have a lot of emblems left in your bag.
