Magic Hero War is a strategy RPG that accentuates the importance of assembling the right team of heroes to tackle various challenges. Building an effective team is crucial for progressing through the game’s content, whether it’s PvE campaigns, PvP battles, or special events. This guide will delve into the key aspects of team building, helping you create a balanced and powerful team that can adapt to different situations. Let’s begin!

Team Building Basics: Know the Roles 

The team-building aspects reach quite the diversity in Magic Hero War. Firstly, all heroes in the game are given a role according to which they play their part in combat. These roles are fixed and cannot be changed. Players should be aware about the importance of each role and the heroes they encompass. Naturally, some heroes are going to be stronger than others, and we recommend viewing a proper tier list that puts the strongest heroes in order. Take a look at the roles: 

• Defender: Defenders are the frontline defenders of your team. They absorb damage and protect more fragile allies. A good defender should have high health, defense, and abilities that draw enemy attacks or mitigate damage.
• Attacker/DPS (Damage Per Second): Attacker/DS heroes are your primary damage dealers. They come in two flavors: melee and ranged. Melee DPS heroes typically deal high burst damage up close, while ranged DPS heroes can attack from a distance, often with consistent, sustained damage.
• Assassin: Healers keep your team alive by restoring health and sometimes offering protective shields or removing debuffs. A solid healer is crucial for prolonged battles, where sustained healing can make the difference between victory and defeat.
• Support: Support heroes provide buffs to your team or debuffs to your enemies. They can enhance your DPS, protect your team, or disrupt the enemy’s strategy.
• Debuffer/Crowd Controller (CC): CC heroes specialize in disabling the enemy team through stuns, freezes, silences, or other effects that temporarily take enemies out of the fight.

Each team should have at least 2 Attackers, 1 Defender, 1 Debuffer, and 1 Support/Healer. In Magic Hero War, there are many different game modes, each of which requires reading up on the boss mechanics and trying to counter them. The campaign mode is quite linear and you can get away with building any type of line-up, as long as your overall team CP (Combat Power) outmatches the required CP. 

Positioning and Formations

Configuring your positioning in team formations is key to victory in Magic Hero War. The game boasts a systematic formation screen on which players can place up to 5 heroes at max. Each hero cannot be repeated, so beware of duplicates. Firstly, get to know about the elemental system in the game, according to which your heroes take/deal more damage against enemies:

• Water – Strong against Fire elemental heroes but weak against Poison elemental heroes.
• Poison – Strong against Water elemental heroes but weak against Nature elemental heroes.
• Nature – Strong against Poison elemental heroes but weak against Fire elemental heroes.
• Fire – Strong against Nature elemental heroes but weak against Water elemental heroes.
• Light – Equally strong and weak against Dark elemental heroes. Neutral to the rest of the elemental heroes.
• Dark – Equally strong and weak against Light elemental heroes. Neutral to the rest of the elemental heroes.

Here are some key formation tips:

• Frontline: Your Defender should always be in the frontline, ready to absorb damage and protect the rest of the team. Some melee DPS heroes can also be positioned here if they have good survivability.
• Midline: Your Support, Debuffers, and some melee Attackers heroes can be placed in the midline. This positioning allows them to affect both the front and back lines, providing buffs, debuffs, or additional damage where needed.
• Backline: Supports and ranged Attackers heroes are typically placed in the backline. This keeps them safe from direct attacks while they provide healing or deal damage from a distance.

Team Building Tips

Players can reap the massive benefits of creating a synergized team in all game modes of Magic Hero War. Here are some of our personalized tips to ensure you’re going in the right direction:

• Cover All Bases: Ensure that your team has a solution for both defense (Tank, Healer) and offense (DPS, Support). A lack of healing might leave your team vulnerable in prolonged fights, while insufficient damage output could lead to drawn-out battles that you can’t win.
• Adaptability: While a balanced team is crucial, also consider building teams tailored to specific challenges. For example, if you’re facing an enemy team with high damage output, consider adding an extra healer or support hero to enhance survivability.
• Buff Synergy: Some heroes can provide buffs that greatly enhance the abilities of their allies. For instance, a support hero who increases attack power pairs well with DPS heroes, maximizing their damage output.
• Crowd Control Chains: Chain crowd control abilities to keep enemies locked down for longer. For instance, start with a stun, then follow up with a freeze or silence to keep enemies incapacitated.
