At a glance
Two sturdy heroes in front, three damage or support heroes behind.
HP, attack and defense with five heroes of the same faction. Your Lord counts as any faction.
damage against the Tusk bosses: Tribe against the Berserker, Legion against the Boar Lord, Ranger against the Butcher.
Each faction has exactly two UR tanks. A single-faction team builds itself: its two tanks in front, its damage heroes behind, and your best-leveled damage hero in the back center. Placement rules are in the guide Placing heroes in your squad.
One team per faction
Tribe
+20%Front: Ragnar (front left), Sanada Yukimura (front right).
Back: Charles Martel (support, raises all five allies' attack), Joan of Arc in the center, Attila or your Lord.
Legion
+20%Front: Frederick I (front left), Harald III (front right).
Back: Hannibal Barca, Mulan and Boudica. Put the one with the most stars in the center.
Ranger
+20%Front: Cleopatra (front left), Alexander Nevsky (front right).
Back: Edward, Saladin and Yi Sun-sin. Edward in the center if he is your best-leveled hero.
The Tribe team is the one an experienced server 23 player uses (with their Lord instead of Attila). The Legion and Ranger teams follow the same rules, but we haven't seen them in combat yet.
The 3 + 2 mix
If your best heroes are split across two factions, a 3 + 2 keeps a 10% bonus. An example with four S-rank heroes from the guide UR heroes: who to upgrade first:
| Position | Hero | Faction |
|---|---|---|
| Front left | Ragnar | Tribe |
| Front right | Cleopatra | Ranger |
| Back left | Sanada Yukimura or Joan of Arc | Tribe |
| Back center | Edward | Ranger |
| Back right | Charles Martel | Tribe |
Three Tribe and two Ranger: +10%. With Sanada in the back the team is very sturdy, but deals less damage.
