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.

Once a fully supported bruiser connects with the enemy tower, the game is usually over in a matter of seconds.

• Positioning is key.
• The 'Skeleton King' archetype relies on summoning backup.
• Bait out the inferno tower first.

The Backline Tacticians

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

A comfortable player using an off-meta hero will always defeat a confused player using the 'best' character.

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