Best Hero

In these types of games, everyone wants to know who is the best hero, and this is not an easy question to answer. While there will certainly be the strongest heroes, whether or not these heroes are right for you at the stage of the game you are currently at will depend on how active you are in the game and also if you are a free to play player or not.

Eventually if you play this game for years, you'll want to unlock and develop the best legendary heroes, but if you are just starting out, focus on the heroes that you first acquire and develop those ones.

At the beginning of the game, rare heroes should be good enough to develop. They all offer different strengths.

Wineskin Knight

Wineskin Knight is good all round attacker, he is good with spearmen which are used to push back enemies with spears.

His unique skill, Yesterday's Glory, will grant additional attack bonus to cavalry.

Sloane

Sloane is an archer hero, her troops will attack from afar with bows. Her unique skill is Daring Outlaw which give bows a chance to deal additional damage during an attack.

Nora

Nora is a commander of swordsmen and will grant her troops an additional 70% energy at the start of battle. Her unique skill will increase food gathering speed.

Legenday Heroes

Legendary heroes are notoriously hard to acquire. One of the best ways to get them is via golden horns in the Summoning Circle, but it will take some grinding to get them for free.

Because they are hard to unlock for free to play players, and because the resources needed to upgrade legendary heroes are also difficult we recommend that if you are lucky enough to unlock a legendary hero, just focus on one of these guys at a time.

So try to wait for one of the ones that you like the look of best, and then save your resources to upgrade that particular one.

It's hard to say which legendary hero is the best, as we anticipate that the developers will add mroe heroes over time, which is normal in these types of games.

But from the ones that are available as of the time of writing this best hero guide, we like the look of:

King Anguish

His unique skill will allow you a chance to receive hero chests when attacking barbarian camps. Also his appointed skills give good increased damage to selected troop types.

Sir Gawain

We like Sir Gawain because of the infantry buff he gives his troops, his appointed skills also offer various strength and health boosts. Infantry are usually vulnerable to bows, and Sir Gawain's swordsmen troops are good at blocking arrows with shield.

Uther

His counter attack buff is interesting. Troops have the chance to counter attack when they are led by Uther
