Are You Building the Wrong Heroes? | Hero Wars

[@maskedriderweaver4122]

The trick is not finding the best heroes, but to finding the best combinations of heroes. Leveling up a "good" hero when you don't have the right combinations is possibly an even bigger waste.

[@jacobh9487]

Some good geeks should make an APP that does the calculations for you among the heros you actually have, to come up with the best combos

[@simonrainbow3764]

Variety is the spice of life but resource demands are hard to meet. Choose wisely your tanks, support and counters. Team synergy is most important and counter heros (ie Helios, Sebastian, Isaac) are very important! Also if the hero is interchangeable with different combo's is a consideration of worth. Cheers and good luck!

[@MrNCSU44]

Once factions were released I looked at heroes I had leveled up and created three teams of hero's based on those factions to fight in Grand Arena. Since then nearly ALL of my upgrades have been on those 15 heroes. New hero events and Jhu and Hojo (for hydra fights) are the exceptions.

[@Skyscraper2015]

Do you mean Mojo?

[@Gero.Galeano73]

I usually focus in 3 or 4 heros depending the category... at certain point I think is good enough for 3rd or 4th team (or variable to the first 2) and then I'll start leveling another Hero. But I do have a bunch of "future Heros" where... yeah, I do my dailys, hahaa.

[@ardentdfender4116]

New subscriber. I only just started playing this game 5 days ago. Just reached lvl 50 with my team. So it’s great coming across your channel and learning this strategy. I was already shifting and focusing on newer team heroes and some others lingering behind at lower levels as well not as much deeper investments in skills etc. So learning that others use this strategy leveling is great to know.

[@bengrunde]

Thanks for the rundown, it's helpful as a newer player to get your complex perspective. What's interesting to me is that I haven't tended to use Keira in the second rank, rather the third. From my experience, I don't think that it's fair to compare Keira with Ishmael in the next to front position, because Ishmael is naturally stronger there. I love how fast Keira's special attacks fire of in the third position, which is where I normally place her in my teams. Just my two cents, I'll keep toying with it.

[@browniegames865]

It also feels good to look at a huge stack of materials. And to know u have any new hero covered to get them lvled when u deciede.

[@unclerojelio6320]

Now if I just knew that difference between bad heroes and good heroes.

[@neekondrums]

Seriously. I just started 3 or 4 days ago, and the advice here is "don't waste resources on heroes you aren't going to use." Based on what information? How do I know which heroes I'm going to use are what heroes make a good team? I have no context as to which heroes are a waste of time. I started building up Tristan because I thought he looked cool, but this video uses him as an example of a hero that's a waste of time. Is this a universal conclusion or just a hypothetical example? What information is being used to determine "bad" heroes from "good" heroes?

[@kaybee65]

@@neekondrums Just make do with whatever you have first. Level 130 is a long way to go. When you reach level 30, 50, 60 and so on, you have access to more heroes and can transform your team to use new heroes. Getting to purple is really not a big investment compare to red. Your initial team don't go to waste as you'll need 3 teams for GA and later 5 teams in Asgard at level 65. You can just recycle them into your other teams. I started with Keira, now using Qing Mao but still using Keira in my 3rd team in GA. I'm now bringing up Jhu for Asgard, Qing Mao and Keira will still find a place in my other teams for Asgard. Some says GA and Asgard are just distraction, should focus on main team, but I'm at level 66 and perform equal or better at GA and Asgard than some level 80 player with just a strong main team.

[@JL-gh4jy]

@@neekondrums Kaybee65 has it right. Though it feels like every choice matters a lot in the very beginning of the game, it doesn’t much. Try out different heroes and watch videos to see what you might like. The most precious resources are skin stones and artifacts - these take the most effort to get. Gold and skill points can be allocated with much less worry because they’re common - practically renewable. So don’t worry about making perfect choices. Build in a balanced way and pay attention to which heroes are helping and how.

[@justjoe811]

@@kaybee65 Agreed. I at first only built up 7 or 8 heroes and ignored most of the rest of the ones I received. Then a couple of weeks ago I switched gears and went with a more balanced approach to my heores. One thing I am doing now is saving a lot of my most precious resources to make sure I'm investing with a purpose. I do a lot better in GA because I have 3 comparably strong teams. So I find that after getting wiped in the 1st round, I sweep the back two because of depth.

[@PlugInRides]

Charlie is implicitly telling people not to level up Keira, yet he listed off at least three strong teams that included her. Keira is an easy hero to Ult-Star, and she still kicks ass at higher levels. If you ever plan to play in Grand Arena, Keira should be on one of your 3 teams. She is my second most developed hero, and does more damage than all my other heroes, by a lot. I would have used Ginger for this example, because she is not an A tier Marksman.

[@stephaneproux6225]

Completely agree with you mate. She kick asses in GA!

[@TheFabled1]

I invested so much into Galahad before i knew better. really annoying to this day. wish you could reset heroes in certain ways, like artifacts, and glyphs.

[@mehdimatthew6821]

to max out the default skin requires 30825 skin stones while maxing out one of the other four skins requires 55410 skin stones .. so to completely max out all 5 skins of a hero requires you exactly 252465 skin stones

[@Tokon71]

If I ever was confused before, now I for sure am :)

[@TheMrg59]

Lol, I was literally in the middle of deciding between corvus and helios to bring up to throw in vs yas. This will make that decision easier.

[@finjackal]

Good advice on the resource management part. Unfortunately, not many follow your advice and they spend tons of resources (and money) on random heroes which they decide not to use later on.

[@stephaneproux6225]

Ishmael is great since he has been reworked. So when Keira will be reworked she'll be deadly! That's the thing it rotates and change with time. Ideally you need all heroes

[@Skyscraper2015]

I think most people build up characters like Keira, Karkh and Iris because during certain events their soul Stones drop at high concentrations so it seems, like you said in another video, that HW wants people to build her up and fast. I have build her up quite high but I don't usually select her as often as I could just because I find the other heroes I have built up seem to do much more damage overall in comparison.

[@dskidmore]

I'm excited to level Corvus

[@nicthofer]

He is a badass

[@Ruzland]

I made the mistake of getting almost everyone to violet by gathering equipment. Now I concentrate on the heroes I use or plan to use soon.

[@joffreyg7994]

Same mistake here

[@Scriptease1]

On mobile it at least lets you start 5 missions at once in the airship

[@jmdesp]

Violet isn't a huge spending, you can afford that. But of course if you don't see any reason to use the heros after that, it's already a waste

[@CNBarnes]

Ok.... I'm doing exactly that. Why is it a mistake? What else should I be focusing on instead?

[@jmdesp]

@Chris Barnes my answer now will be different than 2 month ago. With the new rules for team level, you should do as few campaign fight as possible and prioritize the tower to earn gold and items. Else your team level will rise too fast compared to your actual hero level and you won't be able to go to the top of the tower, or it'll be exhausting each time. So you should get item mostly from the tower and from merchant, and not raid the campaign constantly. Of course it limits for how many heros you can get items.

[@rayjohnston3277]

[@nedzad9432]

If someone would ask me which hero to invest into, I'reccommend Astaroth and Sebastian in the first place. The choice between any damage dealer should be weighted carefully, because a player might require more then just one, and any player will sooner or later require both physical and magic line ups well developped in order to remain competitive in all playgrounds. Among the physical damage dealers my first choice would be Jhu for more then valid reason of being competitive in Asgard, but also to be competitive in other playgrounds. It looks like not many players are aware, but Jhu is an excellent tank destroyer. Among the magic casters, my first choice would be Aurora, then twins, Celeste, Iris and Morrigan. Orion not necessarily because Jhu can complement Orion in PAs very well. Beside Jhu, I'd certainly chose either Karkh or Dante, then Nebula and Andvari. The above mentioned characters are my own picks at present, but it is worth mentioning that those heros may become ineffective over time because some other would be either launched or reworked which would render the group I picked as "obsolete". What one can do best is not to make hasty decisions and go wisely irrespective of what heros have been chosen to invest into.

[@elkr79]

Astaroth is the worst choice, except if you are about to build K'arkh team.

[@eugenetswong]

Jhu seems so useful. If he is fighting vanilla minions, he can actually be a tank. I think the best healer for him is probably Thea because of her speed up skill, which is always available for him. It would be interesting to see how effective a Thea-Jhu-Chabba team can be, because Chabba's armor increases as his health declines. In this team, this means that his speed increases when his health is below 30%.

[@lildex1633]

I’ve wasted a ton of resources on the wrong hero’s but it’s not too late to bounce back

[@darinsmith2458]

I am a newbie.. I think I just got to level 45.. Anytime I get a new hero I try to get the hero up to level 15 so that I can use them in the Tower.. I guess you can complete all of the Tower Levels.. I haven't done that yet so that is my focus.. It seams by level 15 I get a good feel about what the heroes abilities are going to be and then I might want to start putting more resources in them.. You mentioned Kira.. I like her at the level that I am right now.. I like that she can dig a hole and heal herself.. That seams to come in handy in the Outland..

[@darinsmith2458]

Sorry it is Ziri that digs the hole and it is Keira that has the blade whirlwind

[@jmdesp]

At level 45, it shouldn't be seriously difficult to get to the top of the tower. I think I have a continuous run of getting to the top every day since I was close to level 45, maybe 47. You might not have realised yet that the tower adapts to the level of your team, so if you're team level 45 then you should have all of your main heros at level 45 to beat the tower without major difficulty. And 46 if you're level 46, etc. But if you haven't yet found a powerful tower team (my current team is unchanged since level 52 to 67), you'll need more reserve heros when one is too low on energy or health.

[@julesgee7064]

Yes, keep focused, but I think the game is more fun when you have a good choice of heroes - so building your supports is also a thing

[@stephaneproux6225]

This is all relative....Keira is a great hero. I have a Keira team ias 1 of my 3 teams in GA and I consistently stay 3-4 th in the rankings there

I was going to say that this is a stupid idea, but it actually makes sense. Those sparks are just sitting there until you need them, so why not? Every day give 1 to a magic using hero, until you can afford to upgrade your main focus, then take back those single sparks...right?

[@TheOriginalDEGENNEXT]

So glad that I "wasted" all those resources on Keira. She's so worth it.

[@damiandorhoff719]

The reaso to upgrade other heros to the violet ability is you might want to know what that hero can do and if he might have a place in one of your Teams or maybe he can counter other Heros, is usefull against bosses or at certain campaign levels. And there is always the Chance that a Hero gets buffed, reworked or he gets another Skin. Or they ad an aditional Hero into this Game and now we have a new Meta

I understand the hoarding method of leveling your teams but I personally don't care for it. I love the grind and don't mind spending my assets when I get them. I started the game with an ODH team but my guild had way too many magic teams so my guild leader asked me to switch to a Keira team. It doesn't matter to me that one day my hero might be useless because of a nerf or a new character voids their effectiveness.

[@cyberyoda1611]

Who do you make your videos for? All of you. Generally, there are A LOT of solutions to make the best team. And you can't raise 22 heroes to level 130 and RED+2? You simply can't. You have one shot at making some super tank. You can choose Astrid, Rufus, Astaroth, Julius, sometimes Dante, Cleaver (less and less),... One of these, not ALL as you give us as your recommendations. All of you on youtube. If we talk about damage dealers, it is even worse, you can use A LOT of heroes. When we speak about healers and mages, A LOT OF OPTIONS. You all use A LOT of combinations, and they are all lv130, with the absolute star, with RED+2 strength. WHO CAN RAISE 22 heroes to be like that? NOBODY. I am not sure even if somebody spends 1000 bucks a month if he can have 22 top-pumped heroes to have 'combinations' that are given on youtube. Are you aware that you suggest that we should pump these heroes, to have all possible combinations: Dante, Celeste, Astaroth, Keira, Dorian, Aurora, Cornelius, Faceless, Fox, Lian, Cleaver, Jet, Nebula, Kharkh, Satori, Martha, Andvari, Corvus, Morrigan, Isaac, Iris, Yasmine. You ALL use these heroes to make the best team. It is 22 heroes. YOU CAN'T make them all be RED+2, lv130, with all glyphs pumped, with all artifacts, you should play this game for 10 years to do that. And to spend at least 500 bucks a month. Even if your videos are RECOMMENDATIONS, we still can't make the team we want, but what we CAN. You can pump some heroes, but some new ones can arise, like IRIS. And you can go from scratch to raise her. It is a mission impossible. Or you can invest so much, and your hero becomes useless. I did it with Ishmael. He was the best damage dealer, then the developers didn't raise his armor penetration and his armor, so he becomes an average damage dealer overnight. And he could kill the whole team alone. He still can make 70K damage in one blow, but he can't do anything against the strong tank. On the other hand, Dante can go through the walls. He can be even a tank. So, if you invest in the wrong hero, you can lose A LOT of time and resources, and you can't know if your hero is the winning one. This game is pointless. I reached 360K titans, and after that, you must PAY to raise them. Or you can't make them stronger. This whole game is about greed. You simply must PAY to be good at this game.
