Epic Seven Heroes Hub

Epic Seven has hundreds of playable heroes. This hub is not a scraped database. It is the build-order map: who you keep from Selective and Connections, who you six-star for Hunt, which artifact goes in which slot, and which anniversary name is actually a Mystic plan. Start on starter heroes if the account is new. Open Lisette’s kit if you are staring at a Mystic banner. Open Uncharted Pioneer Politis before the 3 September 2026 Drop Rate Up. Open hero artifacts if the unit is already six stars and still hits like a 4-star.

Letter grades live on the tier list hub. This hub answers a different question: what does the unit do, and is that job on your account yet?

Read a hero in this order

1. Role and element — Knight, Warrior, Mage, Ranger, Soul Weaver, Thief. Element only matters when you are forcing a Hunt or an Abyss floor. In RTA, kit beats color.
2. How you own it — Selective, Connections, Hunt missions, Covenant pickup, Mystic, Galaxy, lobby quest. Starter heroes lists the free and early names. Do not call Sigret a Selective-only unit; Hunt missions exist.
3. Job — farmer, Hunt execute, soul weaver, opener, extinction, revive. One unit, one job, until you have molas to spare.
4. Artifact — Daydream Joker is a Hunt tool. Song of Stars is a PvP opener tool. Details on the artifacts page.
5. Molas — S3 first on most soul weavers and openers. Hunt DPS often wants S1 or the execute skill. Do not +15 a unit you will replace in two weeks.

The getting started guide is the day-one checklist (Connections, Blessing, energy). This hub assumes you already know you need a Hunt team and a soul weaver.

8th anniversary names on this hub

Lisette is the Light 5-star Soul Weaver on Mystic from 27 August 2026. Divinity stacks, Fragment of Life crystals, Time Reversal in PvP. Extinction shuts her down. That is a full article, not a blurb — use Lisette.

Uncharted Pioneer Politis is the Drop Rate Up unit from 3 September 2026. Front row and back row change her job. She is not the original Earth Mage Politis. Full placement notes sit on Uncharted Pioneer Politis.

Genesis Ras is a strong free-ish Moonlight 5-star from the 2026 lobby questline. He belongs in your mission tracker, not in your panic-summon budget.

Classes without a novel

Knights hold Aurius and eat cleaves. New accounts use Adventurer Ras until a real tank drops. Warriors are Hunt executes and bruiser carries. Mages want Tagahel’s Ancient Book in PvP and Joker in Hunt. Rangers open or extra-attack; Song of Stars is the PvP cliché for a reason. Soul Weavers are the account. Tamarinne, Destina, Angelica, Angelic Montmorancy, Lisette — pick one to skill, not four to 5-star. Thieves farm and cleave. Vildred and Arbiter Vildred have paid sidestory rent for years.

If a class is empty on your roster, do not Galaxy-summon to fill it. Selective, Connections, and Hunt missions still cover a first clear.

What this hub will not do

It will not list every imprint. It will not reprint Pocket Gamer’s entire SS row — that snapshot sits on the tier list with a warning label. It will not tell you to buy a monthly pack. Epic Seven has been online PvP since 8 November 2018; Steam’s store page opened 22 August 2026 and the client follows later in 2026. None of that changes which soul weaver you skill first.

Politis on 3 September 2026 is a banner, not a homework assignment. Finish starters and Hunt before you chase every preview unit.
