Introduction

Don provides an updated hero‑selection roadmap covering generations 1‑10, focusing on what free‑to‑play (F2P) players and low‑to‑medium spenders should prioritize given the latest December patch, VIP tiers, and Lucky Wheel mechanics.

General Principles

Meta shift: Recent balance changes make some older “must‑have” heroes less essential.
Spend vs. F2P: Spend‑heavy players can afford premium heroes (VIP, direct gem purchases). F2P should rely on Lucky Wheel pulls, event rewards, and careful shard allocation.
VIP importance: Reaching VIP 9 unlocks higher‑star pulls and reduces reliance on gems.
Widget balance: Offensive and defensive widgets are interchangeable; prioritize the hero with the highest average damage per turn rather than strictly matching widget type.
Troop ratios: Two dominant ratios are 60/40 (infantry / marksmen) and 48/48/4 (infantry / marksmen / lancers). Adjust hero line‑up to match your preferred ratio.

Generation 1

Spender pick: Gironimo – superior offensive rally stats after Natalia’s upgrade.
F2P picks:
Lucky Wheel: Jeronimo (3★) – aim for 3★, upgrade to 4★ if you’re a medium spender.
Event‑ranked: All‑Chief / King of Firefield – useful for event points.
VIP hero (real‑money): reserve for 3★‑4★ upgrades only.
Shard strategy: Use ~20 % of Gen 1 SSR shards; save the rest for Gen 2.

Generation 2

Core heroes: Flint (Lucky Wheel) – target 4★.
Support: Alonzo – keep for Bear Trap; upgrade to 4★ for arena.
Molly: Acquire slowly via normal play; do not rush.
Widget focus: Defensive widget on Alonzo; offensive widget on Flint is less critical.

Generation 3

Rally leader: Logan (skip for F2P).
Key hero: Mia – aim for 4★+; essential for Bear Trap and rally joins. One copy is optimal; multiple copies give diminishing returns.
Support heroes: Greg (4★) for solo march; Alonzo (4★) for arena.
Widget levels: 1‑3 by default; increase only if you have excess resources.

Generation 4

Skip most: Current testing shows Amos and Rena underperform as joiners.
Long‑term plan: Accumulate shards and gems to reach VIP 9; consider Ector (Lucky Wheel) as a future Bear‑Trap hero.

Generation 5

Top picks:
Jonimo – best overall hero.
Ector – best Bear‑Trap hero (skill‑driven, not widget‑driven).
Upgrade path: 4★ for solid damage; 5★ if you have VIP 9 and can afford 120 spins per event.
Arena lineup: Combine Jonimo, Ector, and a mix of marksmen/lancers.

Generation 6

Key hero: Rene – push to 5★; excels in 60/40 solo march and arena.
Replaceable: Wayne (use Gwen instead for higher arena power).
Joiners: Wing (defensive 25 % joiner) becomes valuable; consider Andri (25 % joiner) over Sonia.

Generation 7

Must‑have: Bradley – aim for 5★ and widget level 6+. Works across Bear, arena, and solo march.
Supporting joiners: Andri, Wing, Gwen (or Wayne if you prefer).
Strategy: Focus on a few high‑star heroes rather than many low‑star ones.

Generation 8

Lucky Wheel: Reach VIP 9; pull Blanchet (4★+). Prioritize upgrading existing 4★ heroes rather than spreading shards thin.
Gem management: If you fell behind, you can still catch up by reallocating gems to VIP levels.

Generation 9

Core arena team:
Frontline: Flint (marksman) and Bradley (infantry).
Backline: Gwen (marksman) and Lynn (support).
Rally joiner: Nora – stack 3‑4 copies for defensive strength against lancers.
Avoid: Magnus (now underpowered after patch).

Generation 10 & Beyond

Lucky Wheel hero: Blanchet – continue 4★+ pulls.
Future heroes: Gregori (infantry, 4★+), Elenora (Lucky Wheel, Gen 11), Rufus (Gen 11), Lloyd (useful until Carol arrives in Gen 12).
Long‑term tip: Keep heroes at 4★‑5★ with high widget levels; don’t chase every new hero unless it fits your chosen troop ratio.

VIP & Lucky Wheel Management

Aim for VIP 9 by Gen 6‑7 to maximize free pulls.
Allocate gems first to VIP upgrades, then to 5★ hero pulls if you have excess.
Use Lucky Wheel spins strategically: focus on heroes that will stay useful for at least two generations.

Troop Ratios & Rally Joiners

60/40 (infantry / marksmen) works well with Bradley, Gwen, Andri.
48/48/4 (infantry / marksmen / lancers) benefits from Mia, Nora, Jonimo.
Mix offensive and defensive heroes freely; the widget activation is the only factor that differentiates offense vs. defense.

Final Tips

Prioritize a small pool of high‑star heroes with upgraded widgets over a large pool of low‑star ones.
Regularly reassess after each patch; hero value can shift dramatically.
Join the Discord and watch the linked rally‑leader/rally‑joiner ratio video for deeper insight.

Focus on a handful of high‑star heroes with strong widgets, reach VIP 9 early, and align your hero lineup with your preferred troop ratio; this strategy keeps free‑to‑play and low‑spender players competitive across all generations.

Hello. Hello friend. It's Don and in
today's video we're going to talk about
heroes from gen 1 to 10 kind of an
update about which one you should pick.
We had a lot of conversation on stream
on the discord in private as well about
these topics. many question as well. You
know, when I look at other places where
people have a lot of question around
just these, you know, what should I do?
And I think the like the the current
meta of the game, the understanding of
the joiners we should use, the the
change of the December patch are all
kind of swapping switching a bit for me
the row that I would usually suggest.
So, I cannot re-record, you know, the
gen one to nine video I've made easily.
It's like nine different videos and most
of it is accurate. So instead of like
re-recording everything immediately, I
would just want to kind of give you an
update with my latest thinking, what I
think it should, you know, what I advise
people to do right now. If you ask me
about heroes, it was going to be mostly
for freeto play low spenders. I'm going
to try to tell you what to do as well
with your general charts that you should
keep them. And it's going to be mostly
about these necessary rows. So the
orange one, the mic ones, right? The the
the
violet one, the purple one. We talked
about them in the joiner video. and you
know what to do with them at that point
for most of you. So it's more like what
to do you know with your lucky wheel
with to do with your SSR shards and all
of that and trying to keep a bit of
context around all these things but
mostly for free to play. I'll talk a bit
about spending like for some key hero
that you should really get eventually if
you're if you're a spender you get a bit
more shards but it's going to be mostly
for free to play low spenders today
eventually medium spender that do not
really invest on the road that much. But
without further ado, let's start with
gen one. The obvious choice that I need
to mention is that it's for spenders. So
I'll put them in bold. The one that you
should take is like if you're a spender,
you should definitely definitely take
Gironimo. If you pick one nowadays,
Natalia got upgraded in a way that makes
Gironimo quite better for offensive
rally, for bears, for bear trap. So you
know, people using Gironimo everywhere
because Natalyia is also an offensive
widget, but she's considered not as
good. So it's Gironimo all the way. He
has more stats. He is working better in
every situation I know of. So that's
what you're going to do. Other freeto-
play low spender. What you want to do?
You will do of course the man with the
lucky wheel. So the blue is the lucky
wheel. Pink is all of chief. All of her
sorry all of her not all of chief. So
that's one you that's kind of the one
that are for spenders because you need
to either use gems or money to unlock.
The orange is all of chief, king of
firefield, SVS prep, whichever you have.
So that's for ranking in the event that
you will get some points. And here you
get actually this one is more of it's
more of in between because you get
Jironimo gen one, right? Gen one you get
Jeronimo in your all of Chief. So that's
a bit inaccurate. You don't get Molly.
So a little note. So you get Jonimo but
then the rest is accurate. And the red
is of course VIP. So the one you only
buy with real money that the one you can
buy. So the man you would want to do in
three stars. We will talk a bit about
the lucky wheel as well because now you
can spin the lucky wheel up to three
generation you know before so two
generation before. So if you are gen
three, you can spin the lucky wheel for
heroes in gen three, two, and one. And
that's, you know, there is a world where
Z9 can be used a bit now as a joiner. So
you will want to to aim for three stars
for free to play low spenders as as long
as you are a medium to high spender. I
suggest you to get it to four stars
because it can be used in certain troop
ratio to rallies and you have the rally
video that I will link in the
description. Molly, you will do but
slowly over time. Will gen one is mostly
a gen one where is mostly a generation
where you save your SSR shards. Jonimo
is lucky wheel. Sorry, Dinman is lucky
wheel. Molly, you get you get chance
naturally by playing the game. And you
will want to go very gentle on Molly. So
the way I've done it on my 3,54
restart city when I played it, I stopped
to play it, but I played it for 6
months. What that I will just complete
some of the big milestones. So when you
need 40 shards to get to three stars and
you are missing a few things like that,
but I I'll use maybe 20% of the of the
shards that I got gen one and you will
keep them for gen two. Gen two, you're
going to do flint with the lucky wheel.
You can just stop to four stars.
So flee four stars is okay. Let's do
that. So it's very visual for everyone.
Three stars.
That's pay to win.
pay to. So that's what we're gonna do.
That's hopefully helpful for you guys to
follow. So like you will you spin 70
times every every time. Phy is a skip.
Phy you can skip and you will pour your
SSR shards to Alonzo. You will as well
do fourstar. Something to to understand
with Alonzo is you will be able to keep
him for bear trap for quite a while. So
your your army for bear trap will be
Flint, Alonzo, and Molly at that stage.
And you're going to clip Flint until you
have Amos. And you're going to keep
Alundo until you get Lin or Gwen. So
you're going to keep both of them very
quite longer. Flint, you do not need to
focus too much on the widget. The
widget, you know, is defensive widget.
You're not going to use it often unless
you get attacked in like injury and
things like that. So for me, I suggest
to get level two eventually level three
if you want to be a bit stronger in
arena exploration. When Alonzo, you can
go to level four, for example, because
you're going to use him for bear for a
while. So that's what I'm suggesting for
spenders. Freddy can be used as a rally
leader nowadays. He's used sometime as a
rally joiner. So, you know, if you push
for the king, for the all of chief and
you get 300 shards, for example, or 400
shards or even 200 shards, it might
still worth to do Fidi for like medium
to ice because she will be used in
rallies and she will be used as a rally
joiner eventually, which you know used
not to be the case when we talked about
Fidi in the past, but now she we
understand that she's actually a good
addition to the to the team. Gen three,
it's very simple. Logan, you can skip
other freeto-play spender. It's really
much a rally leader hero. Mia is very
important to to to go uh to go very high
on her. You can go very high on widget
and high on star. The issue here is that
you have very little gems in Gen 3. It's
very very tough to have to to have the
charge. So here um just to be clear,
Alonzo, you just want to do four charge.
You don't need to push him above. He's
going to use for Baron for arena. He
going to carry you in arena. Greg will
be the same. You will do Greg four stars
and you will do him just four stars
because Greg you're going to use him in
your solo march. You can use him you can
use him in many other places like
clabirant and stuff. It's really
important to have Greg four stars. He's
not a good joiner but he will be of use
to you um for many many generations. So
I highly suggest to go Greg four stars
and that should be very much manageable.
So the way and you can do widget one to
three. If I don't mention anything about
widget specific it's like one to three
by default. to go very gentle on widget
in this generation. Uh Mia, so four plus
stars. The thing with Mia is that you're
going to use her for bear trap until the
end of time and you can use her
currently in the formation that we call
you know with marksman and lancers,
marksman and infantry. So like 5050 what
we used to call the current suggestion
is more around 484 48. So you have some
lensers because MIA skills are happening
more often when you have more type of
troops. It's not 50% of doing 50% damage
when you are rally joiner with Mia is
50% per type of troop in the rally. So
you average at 75% if you have two types
of troops and you end up at 70 at 87.5
if you have three types of troop. That's
why even if in a marksman uh infantry
rally, you want a tiny bit of lenses to
increase your odds of triggering Mia. So
really important for your bear, really
important as a rally. When it's she's
not used in the rally, you will always
want one Mia in offense and in defense
because she's by far the best hero,
right? If you do 50% damage, uh but it's
multiplied by 87.5,
right? Percentage, it's an increase of
damage
in general in average uh Mia and she
does not stack well. So you just want
one Mia. You don't want multiple Mia.
But in average when JC is augmenting
damage by 25%. Mia in average is 43.75
right? So it's nearly double. So Mia is
far better than Jesse. She's far better
than Cun. She's far better than uh
Jester. So you always want the issue you
have with Mia is like the amount of
damage you do is not increased. When you
have multiple Mia that the odds of the
skill applying that is increased. And
you already when you are 73 uh when you
have three type of troops your chances
are already 87.5. So you can see that
having multiple MIA in your rally is
going to you know push you to 92 to
something like that and it start to be
really matter uh very little. So you
want just one Mia but you will want
nearly always if it's not in the rally
leader formation which you don't always
want then you will have her at the rally
joiner all the time. Offense defense
that's really important. Remember a few
things that offense is not different
than defense for the game. So you don't
want only a defensive hero in defense
and offensive heroes in offense. You
want the best ones. And what's important
for the rally leaders is to get the
right heroes for the widgets. That's you
know offense and defense is only
different for the widget that activating
for the hero that you use. Everything
else the game it work the same. So again
you don't have to have defensive hero in
in defense and offensive hero in
offense. You can mix these and that's
often what works best. and Mia the best
because that's the average of damage she
give you. I mean that's leality, right?
So that the extra she give you in
average per turn that's a lot more than
JC and all of that. So that's something
about Mia that's really she's really
important as a joiner now. She's really
important for which really changed the
way we do Gen 4, right? And with the
lucky wheel, maybe I go back to the gems
very quickly that um you will want
towards, you know, gen four, five to be
vi maybe seven if you're really slow
with your gems, but you will want to be
VIP 9 by then. So you can kind of skip a
bit um the lucky wheel. So you really
want to get flint only to four stars.
Alons
man as high as you can if you want to,
but you you're not going to be able to
spin the wheel much. So, you know, you
will want to not go crazy on gems
because you will start to slowly pour
them into VIP to unlock VIP six, seven,
and then eight and and nine. So, these
are it's hard to go to get five stars if
you are free to play. If you if you're
medium spender and you have the gem,
then spinner to four, you know, to five
star for example. And the widget here,
you can start to level widgets, you can
do three, four if you can. Greg, it's
really not that important. You can do
one, two, three. You want one at least
for arena. Uh, you're not going to use
him for rally too much. It's an
offensive widget. So, you know, at least
one for Arena is great on Greg and then
you can pour everything into Mia.
So, the way it works now that you're
going to, you know, you're going to have
Lynn that you can do. She's a lucky wi
hero. So, that's something you can do.
That's really okay. Is she better than
Alondo? What people are basically saying
is like if there are similar stars and
similar widgets, they are more or less
it might depend on your ratio. Solen,
you know, it's very good to have another
marksman because you will have a very
solid here. We want a very solid arena
as well and exploration for extra levels
for reward for stuff like that. That's
something I always keep in mind when my
choice of heroes is like and if you want
a very strong solo march, your choices
may may vary a bit, but we will talk
about that as well. But here you have an
amazing lineup for arena when you will
play with one infantry, three marksmen
at the back and one lancer. So you will
have Mia, you will have Flint at the
front, Flint on the right, Mia on the
left, and you will have these three at
the back. But Lynn is going to she's
going to be useful at the end of the
generation. Many people used to suggest
Raina, but not that you are investing
more in Mia. Uh the gap with Raina is
not that big than it used to be because
people go to to skip Mia or people will
put Mia four stars barely need push or
widgets and stuff. So it's a bit tough
to go um to go on on everything we said
at that stage. you're not going to have
a lot of shards. So, right now, I'll
skip I'll skip most of Gen 4. Amos, of
course, it will be a great improvement
from Flint, but Amos is not a good
joiner as well. Um, with the current
understanding of the game and the
testing is not performing well. So, I'll
skip Gen 4 quite a bit, which is quite
kind of new, right? I did Amos myself a
year and a half ago, most people were
suggesting Rena, but I would suggest you
accumulate shards
to and you accumulate, you start to
accumulate gems. So you can either push
your VIP 9 or you can push ectctor to
five stars and you know we will say four
plus for for next gen but you can push
Xar to five stars that's rare you could
be uh for pure freeto play it's going to
be tough for small spender you might be
VIP9 by then but for pure free to play
we go it might wait gen six to do that
so skip rea skip amos lin le lin you can
do you know two three widgets usually do
my widget two or three at that of the
game it's fairly easy to do gen five so
ector Lucky Wheel, very simple, four
stars. Widget is defensive, does not
really matter for Bear. Moving forward,
Ector will be your best hero for Bear.
So, the best two heroes are Jonimo,
first one, best than everybody else. The
second best is Ector. Hector is best for
Bear because of his skills, not because
of his widget, not because of his stats.
You do not care about the widget and the
stats. The widget is defensive. You are
using one, you know, at that stage you
are using four, five, 10% infantry. So,
whatever stats you are having on ectctor
is not important for that. So that's why
you want him four stars to have level
five skills to do a lot of damage.
That's what you care about with Ector
and that's really important. So you put
him four stars. If you're already VIP 9,
you can start to put your heroes five
stars. It's a really good generation to
to do that. And to put a hero five star
with a lucky wheel, you need to spin 120
times every event. Sometime you will get
a bit too much, sometime you will get
not enough because the the amount of
wheels you have per
per event per generation change a bit.
That's just the way it is. If you
transfer a lot around that stage, you
know, many people transferred around
it's unlock gen 3. So many people
transfer gen 3 4. You might have a bit
of extra shard. And that's one
generation that is really good to have
the extra shard because we will do Gwen
four to five stars. GR's going to be
used until you have Bradley and Bradley
going to be later in gen 7. So she's
going to be used for the full gen five
for the full gen six for a good portion
of Gen 7. So she's going to be used for
two gen nearly three gen if you do your
Bradley very late but you know Bradley
three stars will start to be really
really good so probably two gen and al
so you can put a widget you know four
maybe six you can push it a bit you're
going to use her for bear you're going
to use her for arena she's amazing for
arena so when you're going to use her
everywhere nora I will consider her four
stars nowadays because you know Mia is a
bit old in arena you have re that you're
going to get but it's a lucky wheel so
Rene Gen six, you're going to have him
at the end of the generation. So, Nora,
you will be able to max her I mean to
put her four stars at the beginning of
gen five if you followed the plan and
accumulated something somes sh that you
transferred a bit eventually. And then
why do you want no? Because one of the
best ratio that we talked about earlier
was with MIA was 48 for so 4% lancers,
48 infantry and 48% marksmen. And often
you are using three to four noras to
join that and that's one of the best
troop ratio. So now the game is mostly
having two troop ratio that are being
used is 6040
or 48 or a variation of that right but
these are the two ratio you use for 48
448 you're going to use your best
infantry always and it's often the
latest except in offense it will be
geronimo until gen you know until this
gen 78 and stuff like that you're going
to use geronimo in offense and then
you're going to use your best in defense
because all of these are defensive
widgets Only Geronimo and Natalia have
offensive widgets on infantry. All of
these are defensive. So that's why, you
know, they are quite stronger as well
because they have higher stat and they
have a widget for defense and
offensively. Geronimo has the offensive
widget. So even if he has a lot less
stats, you know, the widget does a lot.
That really does a lot. So and you will
want to use your best maxmen as well. So
often it's going to be Gwen, it's going
to be Lynn, it's going to be Greg. But
whichever generation you are in, I mean
Lynn, you might use her in defense and
use Greg in offense or Alonzo for
example. And you will use always Mia in
that's 48 448 and Nora will be the
joiner like even if we want different
joiner that's the only exception
currently that really works is when you
stack Nora when you stack Nora you can
use four Nora it works really well if
you defend against lancers maybe you
want three Noras and one Patrick to
increase a bit the survivability of your
lancers with an extra with extra health
that's could be so these I I would
suggest most people that care to be good
really joiners so all the freeto plays
all the little spenders you Even me, I'm
a rally joiner with the level of
spending I currently have. Having Nora
in your kit is really important. And we
are all going for good rally joiners
here for nearly all of them are okay.
Rally joiners. Something to note is
actually that Gwen do not work the way
it described for the rally joining
skill. The first expedition skill. It's
actually pretty bad. So you don't want
to use her as a rally joiner. You don't
want to use her for bear as a rally
joiner. You want to use it in your own
match because she has good stats. She
has good widgets. She has good other
skills. But not as a rally joiner. She's
not that good. So that's where we are
for gen five. I'll try to speed up a
bit. Gen six, things are changing a bit.
So you will want to do run with your
lucky wheel. So at that stage is four
plus stars. If you are VIP 9, I would
suggest you to do Rene to five stars
eventually. That's why I suggest to max
heres to five stars and to do a bit less
in quantity, bit less bit more in in in
star. So you are stronger in arena, you
have stronger marches when you have to
burn people in foundry or to defend. If
you like to burn city before SVS castle
battle, you know, you will have a
stronger heroes. Renee really makes 6040
shine with your solo march. So you can
swap when you burn cities when you
attack in Foundry solo. You can swap
with Rene as soon as he's four plus
stars. Put some level widgets on him and
you can use him for 6040 and you can
play 6040 when you PVP. That's really
important to understand. He makes like
he really makes 6040 pops. He's really
really good. I use Wayne. You can skip.
Gwen is better than Wayne on everything
except for rally leaders. She has Wayne
as a defensive widget, right? So people
are using Gwen offensively and Wayne
defensively at that stage. Gwen is
beating Wayne in arena. I have both to
five stars and widget level four. I'm
using Gwen. I'm gen 9, right? I'm still
using Gwen because I I did not do I use
three marksmen in arena exploration. Uh
and I skip one of the you know later
generation. So I have to use Gwen or
Wayne. And Gwen is like beating Wayne
Wayne by a lot. So Gwen, that's why we
want to do Gwen here. You get him a lot,
you get her a lot sooner. She will be
used for bear a lot longer because Gwen,
you're going to replace him very quickly
with with Bradley as well. So whatever
you invest in Gwen, you're going to keep
for longer and she is actually a better
hero. I usually suggest to go edies, but
I think it's changing a bit because Wing
is one of the very good joiner nowadays.
He's one of the best joiners that
defensive joiner with Patrick. They are
very very detailed good joiners
defensively because most of them are
20%. Serge is 20%, Lumak Bkhan is 20%.
And you because offense is equal as
defense. It's not better, right? Uh you
will want to have 25% joiners because
they just give you more stats overall.
So you are ditching all the defensive
20% joiners. Amos is is you know we
looked at it in the in the discord. You
have you have some calculation around it
some explanation why is a bit is
actually a bit below a 20% joiner for
me. Um so you ditch all of these 20%
like you know Sergey Biti all of that
you ditch and you go for 25% joiners. Um
so that would be JC Jeronimo these kind
of guys right and Patrick for defense
winging is your other option for defense
particularly because in this gen like
Mia Hector Nora Gwen are doing a lot of
damage hero skill
and uh winging is actually reducing that
so it's can selling a lot of these
heroes in this generation that are
really strong it's not always true with
old generation moving forward but for
this generation is actually really good
rally joiner
uh to have and you know it will be used
is actually okay in arena as well. So
skipw Gwen one of the option you will
have here and usually what I suggest to
do is to go to Edis to skip winging and
to go to Edis Gen 7 because I find her a
lot stronger.
So here everything is an option and you
cannot do both. You probably don't have
the shard to do both. So um you know you
can do four or four plus right? If you
if you use him as a joiner you can and
here it's going to be you know your
arena is going to be pretty strong.
You're going to get Ector Wing. You're
going to get Rene or Nora depending on
where you are. And you're going to get
uh Gwen, Greg. You can use both. You can
try Lin. See what work the best based a
bit on what you did with your widget and
stuff. But you're going to be a very
very decent arena lineup at the freeto
play spenders. So here you can do one or
the other. You cannot do both EDS and
both wombing. Uh understand that ED is
going to be replaced by gats in nearly
every situation except for rally
leaders. some rally marches where ED is
performing a bit better. But for you,
for your solo match, for arena,
everywhere, even if you really love Edis
and she's really good, Got is replacing
her. So, um you will have to make a
choice here unless you transfer a lot
and you can do both. Um but you know,
that's a lot of investment in infantry
recently.
Gordon is really a rally leader. You can
skip him. Very important is Bradley. I
will do Bradley five stars and I will
put his widgets, you know, six at least
if you can. Bradley is a monster. He's
really strong. You can use him for bear
for solo march for 60 40 for whatever
you do. You're going to use Bradley for
many generations. The only time is
replacing bear with bear blanchet but
blanchet need to have as many stars from
what people tell me because I'm not gen
10 yet and as many widgets. So if you do
a Bradley five stars level eight widget
like I've done you might not even
replace him by by blanchet because I'm
not going to do level eight widget on
blanchet. So I'll do the test in the
coming months to see but I might only
replace him by Rufus. So it's going to
he might last until gen 11. So Bradley
is really really important is amazing in
arena exploration. So that what you're
going to do then gen 8 you will want to
do the lucky wheel by then you should be
VIP 9. Uh else for me you messed up your
your gem management and that's okay if
you did you can always fix it later. You
know, there's no nothing you can't fix
in this game. Most of the time, unless
you really screwed up, but most of the
time, a few gens later, you can fix
either you did the wrong chest, the
wrong priorities. You can always fix it
with a, you know, with a bit of time.
Sonia, um, I would not suggest Sonia. I
would suggest Andri, and you can do for
me like I will do, uh, you know, five
stars on this if I can. It's five. Let's
let's put it four stars plus. Why do you
want to do Andri? Andri is a good rally
joiner. is a 25% as well and he's
putting a unique skill. So he's reducing
a stat. So you can have like as a 25%
joiner, you can have a JC, you can have
a Cune, you can have a Patrick and you
can have Andri and they are all 25%
joiner with different stats and they are
working very very very well. They are
really really good. So he's good. He
will be is amazing for your arena. So
your arena you're going to have Bradley
Andrich, you're going to have Gat Wing
or Edis whichever you use. you're going
to have Ron that's going to be really
really good and it's put putting you in
a situation for Gen 9 when you can do
something amazing and I'll talk about it
in a sec. So often people go for Sonia
in arena that's what I've done myself
based on advice of other people people
that I have Sonia max max five stars
with level four widgets when I face
someone that has similar lineup with
Andri five stars level four widget I
lose versus Andri. So Andri has more
impact on on Arena than Sonia to my
test. Even if you know I replace Rene.
Yeah. Rene with with with her. And Andri
is a good joiner that Sonia is not that
much. And Andri going to set you up for
a very very good lineup in arena. That's
totally insane than the gen after. So
that's where you want to go. Then you
will have to have Gen 9. So Gen 9 you
will do you will do Fred. So four plus
stars is the lucky with one. So you're
gonna get him legend. So like your
lenses will be quite weak. But at that
stage to be honest if you play 60/40 you
just need Rene is so good with your solo
march that's working because he's really
so good.
You know of course if you get one of
these it's a bit better but you know
some you cannot do everything.
So I'll do I do Fred Magnus is far below
Ector for bear. So I would not do
Magnus. Magnus used to be a bit better
than Nectar. That's why actually done it
myself and then two weeks later they
fixed they they released the patch for
where they changed the skill and is now
a lot better. So Magnus is kind of
useless. You just have a gate at the end
of gen 8. So there is no point to do
Magnus. Zura many people suggest not to
do her. But if when you have when you
have Bradley Andri Zura and you use
whatever combination of that you put one
infantry on the right in arena and
exploration. So that would be Gat in
that case and you put Fred when you have
him. And in the meantime, you put you
put Renee in the front on the left.
That's totally crazy. That's insane
combo. You put in the middle in the back
lane. You put Bradley on the left. You
put Andri on the right. It's killing.
It's like like the strongest arena setup
I ever came across so far in the game by
far. By really far. So, it's really
insane. So, it sets you up very very
well. So you can see with the way I
think about the game, you invest a lot
in Maxman
because
you you care about arena, you care about
exploration. If you would play a bit
6040 and you are like, I'm going to be a
lancers and infantry guy, then you can
skip a bit on the right and you can
change a bit and you can get some of the
good ones, right? So you you might not
do Greg. I mean, Greg is amazing for
6040 actually. So you might want to do
Greg but Alonzo is good now and you can
do Raina or you can do Sonia instead of
Andrew like you can make some choices.
These are general recommendation I give
but that you know you can tweak them a
bit or especially if you transfer a lot
and you can do a bit more but that you
again you get an amazing arena. You you
get a really good lineup. You get a good
solo march as well with Fred with latest
gen. You can use maxmen. You can use
lensers. You can use whichever troop
ratio you want. Right. And I'll talk a
bit about gen 10 because you know it's
happening for us in two weeks. So, I
have a bit of an ID. Uh, gen 10 and 11 a
bit. I don't know much beyond gen 12.
You know, there's like 15 gens now, but
they're a bit further, you know, too far
for me to really know what's going on.
Blanchet will be the lucky wheel. So,
you will always want to do the lucky
wheel. You know, at that stage, I'll put
four plus stars because, you know, you
might have a different gem management
that what I recommend. But to be honest,
like if your heroes from gen 7 are not
five stars, I find that you're going to
be really struggling to burn people and
really struggling in arena. So you
should be VIP 9 and then put them five
star. Like often what I see what people
do is they do all heroes level two,
three, four, whatever. No, no, you focus
on some you put their widget a bit
higher level and you put their gem,
their stars a bit higher level and you
are actually strong. You are not a wiki
in notweek. You are actually strong
here. What you can consider is doing
Gregori is a very good infantry. He's a
really really good infantry. We can say
four plus stars here. He's really really
nice for that. He's going to replace gat
that is a bit old by now and you're
going to get Elenora with a lucky wheel
but Elenora you will have a later gen 11
right so Gregory is going to not last
fully to gens but he's going to last
quite a bit so that's going to be okay
Freya apparently is good but you know
you just got Fred so you get Fred end of
gen 10 because of the lucky wheel so it
does not worth getting early gen 11 you
know your Fred is kind of useless so I
would not stress too much about my
lenses I will go like that gen 11 I have
heard that everything is amazing. So if
there is something to plan for with your
transfer and your chart is eventually
doing the full gen 11. Rufus is a must
pick Elenora you will get her and
eventually getting Lloyd is pretty good
and it's a good time to get an infantry
sorry Lancers because the next one you
have with the lucky wheel right you see
will be Carol so you will have Carol end
of gen 12 right so Lloyd will be useful
for two generation more or less until
you have Carol replacing him which you
know if you put them five stars so these
are all four plus stars you know kind of
if we talk a bit about gen 11 and then
after that I'm not too sure what's up
but you over time as I progress as I
learn about the game I'll be able to
guide you but that's kind of how I think
about hero that's what I would suggest
today to people with training having the
right heroes to be strong for your own
march and having the heroes to be rally
joiners if your alliance are you know
using winging nora you get it many of
things like that are really important to
get else you could be in the sidelines
especially at a freeto play it's already
hard to join the biggest rallies with
your with your troop level so on top of
that if you don't have the right heroes
uh it's a bit tough Especially when
there has four four the same which is
the exception of Nora. Nobody else you
know no other rally should have four of
the same heroes. You should have a mix
of hero joiner and I will link to you in
the description the rally leader rally
joiner troop ratio video so that you
understand how you know why that and why
it's important. But that's it for me
today. That's all for now. Thank you
very much for watching. Let me know in
the comments if that's helpful and if it
changes a bit the way you view or if you
have maybe some push backs disagreement
that's really okay. You know, I really
learned a lot as well from, you know,
talking to you guys. That's one's my
opinion. And you see, like I'm really
biased on marksmen and infantry and
arena, and you could be a lot more
stronger on 6040 with lenses, and that
could be totally okay as well. I'm
really not against it. Um, you know,
that's as well helping you for bear.
It's just a different ways to play. So,
it make it's different choices. And, you
know, um, that's good as well. It's not
bad. It's just it's just not my default
setup. Basically, that's not the default
I suggest, but it's a very good option
as well. So, thank you for watching.
