Thread: Ideal hero formation

  1. #1

    Ideal hero formation

    Just interested as to what everyone thinks the best possible hero combination/formation is.

    Obviously different formations work for different situations and sanctification luck makes a huge difference, but if we're considering the strongest setup for Rag (runes/sancts being equal) - what would you pick?

    I've had a think about it and the best I can come up with is:

    Shayd - Cianna - Leader

    Empty - Bloodstorm - Saffron

    Empty - Empty - Empty

    Edit: to add some discussion as to why I think this: Stuns are all important, Leaders really need to be used as tanks due to their basic skill proc and it's more useful to kill a single opponent quickly (Bloodstorm) as opposed to doing AoE damage (Adamanti/Smoulder).

    Not sure using archer leaders as tanks would be the most effective use for them.

    This is a good post...could be useful...I hope more people post to it, as I am a bit clueless about hero formation. I usually do it by trial and error during a boss battle or something like that. But still not sure what is best for what hero configuration.

    To be honest, using leader archers up front is unwise. I've cut down other players who use their like this archers quite quickly. Cianna makes a much better tank IMHO.

    Shayd Bloodstorm Calvin
    empty empty empty
    empty Adamanti Me (an archer)
    Every one except Shayd has a +100 morale Rune. I have every Gold and Purple hero and this is what I found best to be my standard in case I am revenged when I am not doing anything or attacked in the Caribbean.

    For WB

    empty empty Shyad
    Blodstorm me Adamanti
    empty Calvin empty
    Every one except Shayd and Calvin has a 100 morale Rune. Calvin has a Partisan 7 (+83 morale). I have gotten as muck as 3.5 mil damage on one round with this configuration.

    Of course, the configuration changes for Quest Bosses, Heroic Realm and when attacking specific players in Heaven Palace. Also when attacking specific players specially when I lose a fight. I change my configuration to best counteract his.

    I find this interesting. Unless there's something I'm missing, an Archer leader should still be better a better tank than Cianna - the +stats from quests being better for damage reduction than Cianna's +20 resil.

    Whether you gain more benefit from Cianna getting the extra morale from taking hits (vs the risk of being stunned by your opponent) is a different matter.

    Do you think these tanking archers you've faced are still using offensive runes/equipment?

    a main is by default a better tank also because it gets a health bonus from youre title altho i have to say a archer main I find the least of the 3 capable of being a tank

    It's really hard to say what the best setup is.

    Going off raw stats, some of the most powerful heroes are Bloodstorm, Adamanti, and Smoulder.

    Going off utility, some of the most powerful heroes are Shayd, Cianna, and Calvin.

    Some combination of those six with your main hero is probably ideal, but it's hard to say which is the best. Hard to pick just utility or just raw power. Also, some people like AoE, others don't.

    Well,Klepto is right,but,smoulder is actually useless,he will be worth power if he had 12 stars.Even though cianna is a good stunner,she isn't necessarily a powerful archer,and calvin works good with heroes that have morale
