** Rosaline's damage output and durability when AI-controlled are just downright obscene, capable of melting tanks with a single volley of crockery and often managing to survive ludicrous amounts of punishment despite being fairly lacking in damage mitigation and having moderate health when player-controlled. She can also buff and heal an ally while giving them free energy, but that's often inconsequential considering that Rosaline herself usually tops the board in damage. It gets even worse when she pairs up with Rowan, as combining their ultimate abilities means Rowan can essentially perma-stun your team while Rosaline rips them apart, all while they heal each other.

Since enemies almost universally have much higher levels and stats than you do, her opening dive attack will murder whatever's on the receiving end near-indiscriminately and leave you down a hero from the get-go, while her ultimate will annihilate the rest of your team if it goes off.

** Kaz joins the ranks in the late-game thanks to her furniture bonus, in areas where enemies can use them.

** Ankhira is in roughly the same boat as Angelo, being a Legendary+ hero that tends to be largely useless in most stages of the game. On paper, she can shut down key enemies like a discount Tasi while draining energy and dealing high damage over time... if she weren't a SquishyWizard with a ''melee'' attack. She tends to die very quickly, doesn't deal nearly enough damage before she goes down, and her cocoon ability tends to miss the enemy you need it to target more often than not, meaning she'll rarely have any sort of impact beyond the first few levels. Incidentally, these traits make her supremely annoying to face as a [=PvE=] enemy due to her health pool and damage output being much better in the AI's hands.

** Among Ascended heroes, Raine is a particularly long-suffering example of being OvershadowedByAwesome. In theory, she was meant to be a hybrid DPS/support, capable of doing some damage as well as softening up enemies and giving energy boosts, giving her something of a niche in a gimmicky build alongside burst-damage dealers like Belinda and (in the early game) Silvina. However, as more heroes were introduced, Raine was very quickly left in the dust; Rowan and Rosaline stepped into her support role and filled it much more comfortably, while Belinda had her outdone in the damage department from the onset and the addition of Gwyneth made her completely obsolete. Even as a hybrid, Fawkes already offered more utility. As such, Raine was eventually given a rework to solidify her as a support, but it was too little, too late; while the new Raine is objectively an improvement, it wasn't enough for her to be considered viable.

** Campaign battles have a minimum power rating requirement that your team has to meet before you can attempt the stage. At first this isn’t very noticeable, as your team will naturally meet the requirement for quite a while if you’re progressing normally, but it gets to be a problem in later chapters. The fandom refers to this mechanic with the NonIndicativeName of “power cap”.

** Back in the day, Skreg was considered by far the worst Ascended hero in the game. His passive didn't do enough to prevent him from being melted (especially since it works on distant enemies while Skreg is about getting up in his enemies' face), his damage output was mediocre, and one of his abilities was a LastDitchMove that only activated if he was killed... and barely tickled even squishy backline heroes. He was thus given a sweeping rework, turning him into a fairly solid tank and most notably ditching the on-death effect entirely in favor of an ability that helps him out while he's alive.
** Thoran used to be considered a fairly mediocre tank hero that's only good as a glorified damage sponge since he didn't exactly do anything on his own. That changed quite a bit when Signature Items were introduced, and Thoran got a pretty powerful one: the first time he channels his ultimate (first two times if it's maxed out), he can't be killed, [[LastChanceHitPoint surviving any damage he takes while channeling with 1 health]]. Since his ultimate deals damage based on the damage he takes while channeling it, this instantly made him a lot more notable. While requiring a fair amount of setup and luck to pull off, it's possible to have Thoran clear a large number of levels by simply having him tank damage from the entire enemy team to murder all of them with one swing.

But that didn’t make the backlash any less.
* TierInducedScrappy: While several heroes are capped at Legendary+ tier with their highest possible level being 160, Angelo is the worst among these. He’s completely useless even in the earliest parts of the game where ascension is irrelevant. In function, he’s a much, ''much'' weaker version of Nemora with his primary focus being healing at the expense of everything else. However, his healing ability isn’t nearly enough to make up for his shortcomings. And being one of the capped characters, he doesn’t have any signature item or furniture to enhance his abilities into any niche use later on. Ironically, his brother Rowan is one of the most competitively useful characters in the game.
