🦸Heroes

⭐Investment rules

• Do build Jeronimo early. He appears in rally-captain lineups for every generation.
• Do keep one strong hero of each troop type for a full formation.
• Don’t max Epic heroes you’ll replace. Get them to a useful level, then stop.
• Do save Mythic shards / general shards for your next generation if you know it’s close.
• Prioritise Expedition skills (combat) over Exploration skills once you’re past early PvE.
• Put hero gear and Mithril on your main fighters first.

🤝Rally joiner heroes

• When you join a rally, only the hero in your first march slot counts, and only their first expedition skill.
• Only a few joiner skills apply to a rally, and higher skill levels get priority.
• Attack rallies: Jessie, Jasser and Jeronimo add damage dealt (up to 25% at max level). Seo-yoon adds troop attack (up to 25%).
• Garrisons: Patrick adds troop health (up to 25%). Sergey cuts damage taken (up to 20%).
• Check the in-game skill text: a high-level joiner skill matters more than the hero’s star level.

Skill names, numbers and where each matters: Rally Joiner Heroes.

🧰Useful non-Mythics

• Epic Infantry: Sergey.
• Epic Lancers: Jessie, Patrick, Walis Bokan, Ling Xue (also written Ling Shuang).
• Epic Marksmen: Gina, Bahiti, Jasser, Seo-yoon.
• Rare: Smith and Eugene (Infantry), Charlie (Lancer), Cloris (Marksman). Early-game starters you’ll outgrow.
• Early on, Sergey is the usual free-to-play tank until your Mythics are built up.
