Tip #1. Recruit Powerful Linkers

This tip goes without saying since Top Squads: Battle Arena is an Idle game. In games like these, powerful heroes often triumph over strategy since the combat is mostly about stats. The party with the higher stats is more likely to win. Your stats are decided by the overall CP (Combat Power) of your individual heroes that make up the squad. Heroes, called “linkers” in official game terminology, come in different rarities. Starting with B as the lowest, and ending at SSS as the highest. The higher the rarity of the hero, the better the base stats and abilities. Players can recruit powerful heroes from the Recruit feature that has a miniscule chance of summoning SSS heroes.
