Predecessor has numerous unique, playable heroes. Some heroes like to take the spotlight and get their hands dirty, while others provide support from the shadows, ensuring teams have the necessary resources to win team fights.
The free-to-play MOBA is based on the foundation laid by the now-defunct Paragon, which was developed by Epic Games and shut down in 2018. According to Omeda Studios, the game built upon Paragon’s existing visual assets and overhauled gameplay mechanics, characters, and to create “something new and improved that stays true to the heart of Paragon.” So, who are these heroes that you play in Predecessor?
Best Predecessor heroes per position
There are five roles in Predecessor: Offlane, Midlane, Jungle, Carry, and Support. Each of these roles has a different playstyle, and their strength varies from meta adjustments.
Offlane
The offlane has heroes like Steel who have always found their way into every meta due to the heavy CC in their kit. Steel’s abilities make him a formidable tank with never-ending stuns and set-up plays on the map, which makes him an invaluable pick for every team. His ability to soak up damage also gives your team a solid frontline and keeps your carries safe.
However, if you want to go damage-heavy, Kwang is a great pick to deal an incredible amount of damage while having a versatile kit that allows you to close the gap to enemies and eliminate targets.
Midlane
There are a lot of heroes who can adapt well in the midlane’s diverse meta. Argus is one, and he’s one of the best mages in the game, retaining his place at the top despite recent nerfs. His abilities deal solid damage from a distance while also having stuns to set up plays. He can catch enemies off guard and shut down priority targets makes him a very strong pick.
Countess is also a great pick because of her mobility and lifesteal, which allows her to sustain herself in quick exchanges. You can also use some underrated picks such as Morigesh, Gideon, and Howitzer who have a unique playstyle if you want to start playing the midlane, as they’re good entry-level heroes.
Jungle
If you’re just starting with jungle, you can never go wrong with Khaimera. His main power comes from his heavy sustain, allowing him to take longer trades and always come on top with his superior healing. His secondary, Invigorate, enables him to remove all debuffs, making it harder for enemies to stop him in his tracks.
Kallari is also a decent assassin with stealth-based abilities, which can be a good niche pick in certain circumstances.
Carry
There are quite a few powerful carry picks in the meta, such as Drongo and TwinBlast. Drongo overwhelms the enemies with his damage which slowly gets to ridiculous levels in the end game. TwinBlast excels with his speed and burst damage, enabling him to enter a team fight quickly, secure a pick, and get out unscathed. If you want to have fun and make plays based on information-gathering tools to dictate the game’s tempo, you should try your hand with Wraith.
Support
Pounding his drums, Narbash is a no-brainer addition to the best supports in the game as he has heals, CC, and damage reduction in his kit, which makes him a potent threat to any enemy. If you have a lot of squishy targets to keep alive, look no further than Muriel, as her global shields are amazing for protecting allies.
Phase has a high skill ceiling, but once you wrap your head around her linking ability with allies, the sky’s the limit with her because you can pull some great plays.
