Hero power in 193-256: 9 of the top 10 come from one half
The 193-224 and 225-256 brackets now compete as one group, 193-256. The ranking of hero power shows how uneven that union is: 9 of the 10 strongest hero rosters come from 193-224. Data captured on October 3, 2026.
How we measured
The top 10 comes from the group's Hero Power ranking (October 3, 2026; one of the ten, the #7, comes from the September 26, 2026 capture). The state by state comparison uses the strongest players captured in each state, up to 5 per state, from the October 3, 2026 capture: a state with strong players we didn't capture can look weaker here than it is.
The top of the ranking
Big Nick (S209) leads with 224.0M of hero power, followed by Knight4439 (S195) with 213.9M and Rio Kapiten (S240) with 211.9M. Rio Kapiten is the only player of the 225-256 half in the whole top 10. State S218 alone puts three players in it, and the other six spots go to six different states of 193-224.
It isn't only the top: it's the depth
Looking at the strongest players captured in each state, 193-224 has 9 players above 180M of hero power and 225-256 only 1. Above 160M the count is 20 against 5. The typical state shows the same gap: the strongest player of a 193-224 state has a median of 148.0M, and that of a 225-256 state 129.6M; the average of each state's top 5 is 140.4M against 117.9M.

What it means for 225-256's strongest players
In their old bracket, they were at the top. In 193-256, entering the top 10 takes 182.9M of hero power, and only one of them gets there. For the rest, the gap is real but not impossible: a few states have players close enough to fight for a spot.
S240
211.9M
The only one who can stand with these monsters. Its leader is #3 in the group, but the drop after him is steep: the second strongest hero roster of the state has 157.7M.
S245
175.5M
The closest to the cut: its best player is 4.1% below the 182.9M that the #10 has. It also has the deepest top 5 of its half (145.3M on average).
S241
171.1M
Its leader is 6.5% short of the top 10. Behind him, the next captured player has 141.7M.
S231
165.3M
No single giant, but depth: its top 5 averages 145.1M, at the level of the deep states of 193-224.
Where the depth lives
Of the 10 states with the strongest top 5, 8 are from 193-224. S245 and S231 are the only ones from 225-256 that hold that level, with no giant but with five solid players each.
