Unlike standard cards, you generally only select one hero per deck, making that choice the most critical decision you will make.

Some commanders excel at bolstering massive swarms, while others act as unkillable, singular forces of nature.

The Frontline Behemoths

These heroes are deployed at the front of a push, drawing all tower and enemy fire away from your fragile support units.

When playing a tank commander, your strategy relies on building a massive, slow-moving 'deathball' of troops.

• Always support the bruiser with anti-air units.
• Don't trigger their ability too early.
• Use them defensively to absorb elite barbarian pushes.

The Ranged Support Class

These commanders usually sit safely behind your towers, picking off enemy troops from a massive distance.

When kept alive, a ranged hero can generate absurd amounts of positive elixir trades over the course of a match.

Finding Your Playstyle

Ultimately, the best hero is the one that perfectly complements your natural tendencies and preferred deck type.

Once you find the leader that clicks with your brain, stick with them and master every single interaction.
