How to read this page

  • Rarity: UR heroes are your long-term team. SSR heroes are strong early, and some can be promoted to UR in a particular season. SR heroes are early filler.
  • Type: Tank, Aircraft or Missile. Since Season 6, the best squads use five heroes of the same type.
  • Row: front-row heroes soak up damage; back-row heroes deal it or support the team.
  • Verdict:
    • Build means worth full investment.
    • Early means good until your UR heroes are ready.
    • Placeholder means use it, but don't spend rare items on it.
    • Skip means it's not worth building.

Promotions, Exclusive Weapons and Awakening

  • Promotion to UR: one SSR hero per season: Mason (S1), Violet (S2), Scarlett (S3), Sarah (S4), Venom (S5), Braz (S6). You need the hero at 5 stars plus a UR Hero Badge from the season goals. After promotion the hero drops back to 3 stars and their skills reset.
  • Exclusive Weapons unlock in weeks 1, 3 and 6 of each season:
SeasonHeroes
1Kimberly, DVA, Tesla
2Murphy, Carlie, Swift
3Marshall, Schuyler, McGregor
4Lucius, Adam, Williams
5Fiona, Stetmann, Morrison
  • Awakening (Season 6): Kimberly (week 1), DVA (week 3) and Tesla (week 5). The hero needs 5 stars and an Exclusive Weapon at level 20 or higher, and the Awakening skill replaces their Expertise skill.

Golden rules

  • Pick one troop type for your main squad and put your best resources there.
  • Don't drop a well-built hero for a new UR at low stars and skill levels.
  • SR heroes and most SSR heroes are temporary. Don't spend rare items on them.
