Answer 22 questions to find the hero, out of all 57, whose playstyle is closest to yours.
The Vainglory Hero Quiz is a free, unofficial quiz that finds the hero, out of all 57 in the mobile MOBA Vainglory, whose playstyle is closest to yours in 22 questions. Because the next question changes based on your answers, it can tell even similar heroes apart.
Guide
How it works
Just answer each question by picking one of four options. Your result appears after the 22nd question.
Each next question is chosen from a bank of 35 based on your previous answers (an adaptive quiz), which is why 22 questions can tell all 57 heroes apart. We ran the full quiz with answers given the way each hero would answer, and with 20% of those answers switched to another option (120 runs per hero), then chose the smallest number of questions at which all 57 heroes came out on top with their own answers and two more questions barely improved accuracy.
| Method / questions | #1 with own answers | #1 with 20% changed | Top 3 with 20% changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed, 10 questions (reference) | 30 / 57 | 33.3% | 60.4% |
| Adaptive, 8 questions | 47 / 57 | 53.1% | 73.1% |
| Adaptive, 10 questions | 53 / 57 | 60.1% | 78.0% |
| Adaptive, 12 questions | 56 / 57 | 66.0% | 82.0% |
| Adaptive, 14 questions | 56 / 57 | 69.6% | 84.9% |
| Adaptive, 16 questions | 56 / 57 | 72.7% | 87.1% |
| Adaptive, 18 questions | 57 / 57 | 75.5% | 89.2% |
| Adaptive, 20 questions | 56 / 57 | 77.0% | 90.9% |
| Adaptive, 22 questions (used) | 57 / 57 | 78.3% | 92.0% |
| Adaptive, 24 questions | 57 / 57 | 77.9% | 92.3% |
With a fixed order of 10 questions, only 30 of the 57 heroes came out on top with their own answers. When all 22 questions were answered completely at random (20,000 runs), San Feng came up most often (8.0%), and 54 heroes appeared in first place.
On the official website, Vainglory heroes are divided into five roles: Protector, Warrior, Assassin, Mage and Sniper.
| Role | What they do | Heroes |
|---|---|---|
| Protector | Protects allies and stops enemies in their tracks. Often plays Captain (support). | 12 |
| Warrior | Durable heroes who brawl on the front line. Often play in the jungle. | 14 |
| Assassin | Closes in quickly and takes down a chosen target in moments. | 9 |
| Mage | Deals heavy damage and area damage with crystal (ability) power. | 11 |
| Sniper | Keeps firing basic attacks from long range. Often the main carry in the lane. | 11 |
Vainglory has 57 heroes in total, up to Amael, who was added in the final update, 4.13 (March 2020). They are listed by role.
