The choice of selecting a Hero in Phantom Blade: Executioners highly depends on you. If you plan to play the game solo, which you can, the best Hero for you is Soul, a perfectly balanced Hero with great Class Paths.

If you need a DPS unit for solo play, the best Hero is Mu Xiaokui. However, when it comes to Co-Op, you can also get Zuo Shang, as his 'Rapier Patrician' Class Path lets you cancel the recovery frame of most skills, allowing you to keep spamming them if timed correctly.

Moreover, his other Class Path, 'Epee Regent,' makes you a Tank suited for Co-Op play.

Lastly, if you want to play as a Support or a Ranger Class, the best Hero for you is The Chord, as her Class Path, Rakshasi Bard, gives you access to long-range skills and attacks that can also debuff enemies.

Meanwhile, the other Class Path, 'Apasara Healer,' simply makes you a Healer suited for Co-Op play.

To sum things up, here is the Hero you should be choosing in Phantom Blade: Executioners based on your requirements:

  • The most balanced hero: Soul
  • Tank / DPS: Zuo Shang
  • DPS / Stun Support: Mu Xiaokui
  • Ranger / Healer: The Chord
