How the PvZ Heroes meta tier list is ranked

PvZH Vault scores decks across four pillars and combines them into a composite score. This page uses the existing letter grade as the tier: every S-grade deck is placed in S Tier, every A-grade deck in A Tier, and so on. Decks within the same tier are ordered by composite score, with the underlying component scores shown throughout the page.

Power

Measures the raw strength of the deck's card package within the Vault scoring model.

Synergy

Measures how strongly the cards in a deck fit and co-occur with one another.

Consistency

Rewards lists that repeatedly execute their plan instead of relying too heavily on scattered one-ofs.

Curve health

Evaluates the deck's cost curve against the model's target structures and penalizes awkward distributions.

The source snapshot for this edition was generated on August 7, 2026 and contains 176 unique decks uploaded during 2026. Identical deck compositions are deduplicated before ranking.
