Quick answer: the current S tier is Pteranodon, Demon, Tree, Phoenix, Magma (Awakened), Light (Awakened) and Dough (Awakened). Pteranodon — the game's only Mythical, added in Update 10 — is the strongest pick right now. For grinding specifically, Magma Awakened and Light Awakened carry hardest.

FAQ

What is the best fruit in King Legacy?

Pteranodon — the only Mythical fruit, added in Update 10. Phoenix, Demon, Tree and the awakened Magma/Light/Dough sit right behind it.

Best fruit for grinding?

Magma (Awakened) — huge AoE and damage — or Light (Awakened) for the fastest mobility between mobs.

Is Dragon fruit good?

A tier — high burst damage and strong ranged attacks, just behind the S-tier pack.

Does awakening matter?

Hugely — most awakened forms jump a full tier. Phoenix V1 is mediocre; Phoenix V2 is S-tier.
