Optimal Unit Deployment Strategies
Our evaluation criteria emphasize cost-effectiveness and late-game scalability. While premium units dominate top tiers, viable alternatives exist for various progression stages. Resource management through strategic summons and event participation proves essential for roster advancement.
Elite Tier: Pinnacle Combatants
Aracha
This hybrid combatant dominates multi-role scenarios with area denial capabilities and airborne target engagement. Her persistent damage effects and crowd control synergies make her indispensable across game modes.
Morrigan
A spellcasting specialist excelling in mass engagements, this faction leader enhances allied spell efficiency while delivering catastrophic ultimate abilities. Optimal when coordinating with Shadowmere alliance members.
King Harz
This sovereign unit combines personal combat prowess with faction-wide enhancements, establishing him as a cornerstone for high-level strategies. His dual role as damage dealer and force multiplier ensures lasting viability.
Premium Tier Champions
Ghan
This defensive specialist converts incoming damage into offensive potential via scaling mechanics. His counterattack synergy and area suppression excel in prolonged engagements.
Calypso
A precision archer with progressive damage amplification, achieving up to 80% bonus output through strategic positioning. Her single-target specialization proves devastating against priority targets.
Boreas
This cryomancer disrupts enemy formations through freeze mechanics and anti-healing effects. Team compositions utilizing chill synergies maximize his battlefield control potential.
High-Performance Options
Iovar
A marksman specializing in armor penetration, particularly effective against shielded adversaries. His precision mechanics reward tactical positioning and target prioritization.
Rex
This accessible defender provides reliable frontline performance with shielding mechanics. While lacking sophistication, his consistent output remains valuable through mid-game progression.
Situational Specialists
Cyrene
A support-oriented combatant offering critical chance enhancements and intermittent crowd control. Limited by cooldown constraints but viable in specific team configurations.
Foundation Units
Lili
This healer provides conditional damage mitigation with situational efficiency boosts. Her reactive healing mechanics require precise timing for optimal impact.
Strategic Deployment Insights
New commanders should develop versatile teams using baseline units while pursuing elite-tier acquisitions. Account rerolling for high-value champions proves efficient early on.
Significant balance changes typically accompany major quarterly updates. Top-tier selections generally maintain dominance despite incremental adjustments.
Moderate resource allocation to A/B-tier units facilitates progression while accumulating materials for premium replacements. Avoid overcommitting to lower-tier options.
Focus summoning efforts during targeted banner events while leveraging guild activities and resource codes. Patience and selective spending optimize roster development.
Transition occurs when acquiring substantially superior alternatives, particularly when synergy improvements justify replacement costs. Consider team dynamics over individual rankings.
