Note
This article features answers to frequently asked questions about the combat system: how hero skills work, how energy generation affects battles, how team composition can play a crucial role in combat, and much more!
If you still have questions regarding a specific battle, take the following steps to understand what is going on:
-
Read skill descriptions of each hero who participated in that battle. There are over 200 abilities in the game, and their interaction is usually the key. You can toggle the detailed descriptions of skills in the game settings:
For example, if a hero has chosen a different target than you expected, pay attention to the skills that can influence target selection. Jorgen's Leper is one such skill.
-
Check the active effects from the first artifacts. If damage is too high or too low, most likely, the heroes are under buffs or debuffs. Note that artifacts affect the whole team, not only one hero. You can see the artifact effect icons in the upper-left and upper-right corners of the screen. Long press the icon to see the bonus:
-
Check if your heroes are under any control effects. These effects may drastically change the course of a battle.
-
Try experimenting with hero combinations and paying attention to the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. Well-chosen heroes may sometimes defeat opponents even when outnumbered.
If nothing helps, you can discuss the battle with the members of your Guild or ask other players for help on our official Discord server or Reddit.
