Read the roster as a set of different jobs
Candy Kingdom Defense brings Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline into its hero collection.
The video below shows hero selection and combat, giving the names a practical collection context.
Gameplay also shows names including Lady Rainicorn, Lemongrab, the Lich and Magic Man. This is a guide to recognizable heroes and roles, rather than a claim that every banner and every obtainable form appears in one permanent list.
Compare attacks before choosing a replacement
Finn's demonstrated upgrades include Meteor Strike. Jake's stretching attacks provide a different visual and coverage pattern, with early play favoring his area coverage. Lemongrab fills a summoning role. Magic Man is presented as a Secret summon and has an area stun at his developed upgrade state. Those differences matter more to a squad decision than simply counting owned names.
For a new account, keep a working starter while deciding what the next hero contributes. A later acquisition that overlaps every job already covered may be less urgent than developing the unit that makes the opening reliable. This is a spending priority, not an official power ranking.
Keep evolved names separate
Alien Jake, Adult Finn and King BMO are named evolution goals. An evolved form can change the kit, so do not read the base hero and evolved hero as interchangeable entries. Princess Bubblegum also has an Elementals evolution context in gameplay.
The hero tier guide applies a stated campaign-development goal to real hero choices. Read its scope before treating an editorial priority as a promise that one unit wins every stage or suits every collection.
