This is the ultimate guide for the Hypogean faction.

Last update: Patch v1.156 (December 2024)

Which Hypogean hero should you ascend first?

Lavatune is the highest Hypogean priority to ascend first. Lucilla is also very important and she can work pretty well even at Mythic ascension. Knox is very strong on all game modes.

Zolrath and mortas Mortas can be ascended via Challenger Store, but Mortas work great even at Elite ascension. You can also get Zolrath copies on Stargazing if you want to.

Canisa & Ruke is a very flexible tank and Kalthin is the best hypogean damage dealer. After ascending them, you may want to focus on ascending Olgath or khazard Khazard. But Khazard only needs Mythic ascension. Mehira is another hero that work great at lower ascensions (Mythic and Elite).

Ezizh has been falling off, but he is still good heroes. Framton Framton is situational, so most F2P players will not need him. Lucretia Lucretia is only a very niche hero for Hypogean tower.

Awakened-Ezizh Awakened Ezizh does his job pretty well at Legendary ascension. You don’t need to worry about getting more than one copy of him.

Mezoth Mezoth, Vyloris Vyloris, Zikis Zikis, and Leofric Leofric are not worth it.

PS: To see the full priority list for Stargazing, check our Stargazing Room guide.

PS2: To check which awakened hypogean hero you should ascend first, check our Temple of Time guide.

F-tier Hypogeans

Do not invest on Mezoth Mezoth, Vyloris Vyloris, Zikis Zikis, and Leofric Leofric. 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.
