Gameplay Tips


Holy Avenger and Sovereign are the newest hyper-carries to the game. Among the few Impact / Swift units, they are off-tanks with both solid DPS and durability.

Optimal positioning means having them tank some of the wave (to make use of their health pool and ramp up their mana gain faster), but not too much, so they stay alive, unlock their splash effect, and dish out maximum damage.

[h3]Recommended Combos:[/h3]

Butcher / Head Chef / Vampire
Lifesteal synergizes with their damage reduction, attack speed, and area of effect damage.

APS / MPS / Dark Mage / Pulverizer
Attack speed increases their DPS and amplifies the rate of their on-hit mana gain.

Sacred Steed / Pegasus / Starcaller / Magician
Mana gain makes them stack up and unlock their splash effect faster.

Desert Pilgrim / Lost Chieftain / Titan / Guardian Angel
Healing and bonus health synergize with their damage reduction and allow them to soak more damage for faster mana gain.

Whitemane / Ocean Templar / Hero
Percent effects are strong on high cost units like Sovereign.

Game Balance


[h3]Legion Spells[/h3]

Pulverizer
- Attack speed: 10% >> 8%

Titan
- Health gained: 1250 >> 1300

Venture
- Maximum gold invested: 110 >> 105

Recent nerfs to wave 12 and buffs to wave 13 indirectly buffed Venture and made it too strong.

Villain

[h3]Fighters[/h3]

Oathbreaker
- Health: 1140 >> 1100
- Unchained Rage: Attack speed bonus: 250% >> 260%

Oathbreaker is overpowered, particularly on wave 5, but balanced as an opening. This change maintains its current power as an opening, while nerfing it otherwise

- Damage: 15 >> 16

Sky Queen
- Health: 1310 >> 1250

Aqua Spirit
- Attack speed: 0.75 >> 0.77
