Tilly tier and best specialization

B

B tier on patch 0.5.12

Player tier lists rate Tilly anywhere from B to S and value the Shards she mints, but her runs win at a middling rate overall and on SSS difficulty, and only one published comp uses her, so she sits at B.

Tiers are reviewed by hand after each patch (latest: 0.5.12), weighing the runs players share, most of them in Red Rift, the comps that clear the high difficulties, current player tier lists and recent balance changes. All 25 heroes side by side are on the hero tier list.

Tilly converts Attack into Attack Speed and Attack Speed into Attack, so every item that raises one raises both. She also mints Shards every 25 auto attacks, which makes her the only offensive hero who pays for herself. Warrior and Duelist at once: two primary stats, and both of them scale her.

Pirouette wants a stat she lacks

The Elegant turns Tilly into a caster. Pirouette grants 4 plus 4 per rank Crit and Omnivamp, then hits every enemy in her range for 75 plus 150% of Attack, 150% of Attack Speed and 150% of Magic. She starts with 38 Attack, 20 bonus Attack Speed and 0 Magic, and nothing she owns adds any Magic, so a third of the scaling sits idle.

Adaptive Sword fixes that as the fight opens by setting Attack and Magic to whichever is higher, and its 30 Attack Speed returns a quarter of itself as Attack through Luxurious.

Ten seconds apart

The Sharp gives Warriors 8% plus 8% per rank Attack and 4% plus 4% per rank Crit for Rush (10), and gives Duelists the same percentages on Attack Speed and Crit after Stall (20). Tilly is both, so she collects each half, though not together: unless something lengthens Rush, the Warrior bonus runs out ten seconds before the Duelist bonus begins.

Class items have no such gap. Polymath's Prism adds 20% to the primary stat of each of the holder's classes, which on Tilly means Attack and Attack Speed together. Warrior's Glyph and Duelist's Glyph pay their percentage only to a hero who already has the class, +25% Attack and +20% Attack Speed, and she qualifies for both.

The Shards Luxurious produces, 2 plus 2 per rank at each payout, also raise every effect that reads Shards generated this game. The Stylish adds an item slot and makes each auto attack deal bonus damage per Shard generated, Brawler's Ledger grants 1 Attack per 8 of them, and Duelist's Precision Banner gives every Duelist 1 Crit per 5.

What Tilly gains per rank

A hero climbs C → B → A → S — 3 upgrades in all. Every stat rises at the same rate on every hero, with one exception: the primary stat of the class rises three to four times faster. For Tilly that stat is Attack / Attack speed.
