Forgotten Stories Tier List: All 8 Inheritances
There is no trustworthy universal S-to-D order yet. The useful answer is goal-based: choose Historian for Books, Hunter for non-boss loot, Cook for crafting, Dreamer for random spellcasting, or compare the other four roles below.
Best fit by goal
Forgotten Stories Inheritance tier list by play style
These are role matches from the current Inheritance descriptions, not fabricated power ranks. Pick the row that matches what you want the next run to do.
| Your goal | Best-fit Inheritance | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Write and enhance more Books | The Historian | Starts with a Quill, gains Ink and Quills, and can hold five extra Books at level 3. |
| Collect gems and stack Artifacts | The Jeweler | Adds Artifact capacity, improves gem chances, and can duplicate an Artifact at level 3. |
| Fight large enemies with physical damage | The Brawler | Starts with Bruiser Bands, helps with restraints, and gains damage against large foes. |
| Farm extra non-boss drops | The Hunter | Starts with Rabbit's Foot and can roll an extra drop from defeated non-boss enemies. |
| Play a high-risk Luck build | The Wagerer | The Coin of Judgment trades major self-damage risk for a Luck-sensitive attack. |
| Craft, cook, and support a party | The Cook | Starts with The Pan, can save crafting resources, and later gains ingredient drops. |
| Cast random spells for less Mana | The Dreamer | The Tome of Dreams casts a selected kind of random spell at reduced Mana cost, with physical and health penalties. |
| Build around a specialized Bloodline | The Damned | Offers Feral, Seraphic, and Dragonic paths with strong bonuses and severe shared penalties. |

Ranking method
How a real Forgotten Stories tier list should be tested
Different mechanics win in different situations. A single order needs matched builds and repeatable results, not just a strong-looking passive.
02
Comparable scenarios
Starter safety, boss fights, resource gathering, and party play should be evaluated separately.
03
Shared progression state
Comparisons need the same level, upgrades, gear access, and game version to avoid false advantages.
04
Repeatable results
A final order needs repeatable observations rather than one build, one clip, or one player's preference.

How to choose the best Inheritance for your run
What you can compare now
Open the eight source cards and compare their stated starting gear, passives, stat bonuses, costs, and tradeoffs for the situation you care about.
What is still missing
A universal best pick, scenario-specific winners, and an S-to-C order remain open until comparable results are collected for the current build.
A source card can establish what an Inheritance says it does; it cannot by itself establish that the Inheritance is strongest for every player.

FAQ
Forgotten Stories tier list FAQ
Direct answers about the best Inheritance, all eight choices, and why exact power ranks remain unsettled.
What is the best Inheritance in Forgotten Stories?↓
There is no defensible universal best pick yet. The Historian best fits Book progression, The Hunter fits non-boss loot, The Cook fits crafting, and The Dreamer fits randomized spellcasting; use the table for all eight roles.
Which Inheritances are currently listed?↓
The public board currently lists The Historian, The Jeweler, The Brawler, The Hunter, The Wagerer, The Cook, The Dreamer, and The Damned.
Why is there no S-to-C tier order?↓
The source cards document mechanics, not a standardized performance test. Publishing an exact order would require comparable scenarios and repeatable results.
Where can I check an Inheritance's details?↓
Use the source link in the comparison table. Each link opens the corresponding public Trello card so you can review its current text directly.
