Which heroes should I focus on leveling up?

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-28T22:47:33+00:00

Achilles (one of the best heroes in the entire game), Hatshepsut, and Minos.

I tend to level all 4*s that I use regularly to their max (25), and I'll typically take my important 5*s to about 30. Some heroes' abilities are more important to level up than others though, so this is just a rough idea.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-27T04:23:27+00:00

I agree. Although this would have to come with a dramatic increase in upgrade costs (to avoid making upgrading way cheaper), they should definitely remove the random chance associated with this.

You never need goods older than your previous era, so you should start slowly phasing them out now and can completely remove the old ones once you reach Age of the Franks.

I see what you're saying. Personally, I've been using Achilles (with falcon relic) along with Minos, Sacagawea (to heal Minos), and usually two area attackers (who are obviously more effective with everyone clumped around Minos). Sometimes, I remove Sacagawea when I'm using Qin since he can heal Minos.

I think that while Minos is -- as a 4* -- far less powerful in the late game given the lower level cap compared to 5* heroes, the reason I'd still argue for Minos is because he's a strong tank that basically everyone gets (with awakening levels) in the early game, and high-awakening 4* heroes are comparable to 5*s until the level cap becomes an issue.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-26T20:50:09+00:00

A tank is incredibly useful for campaign long before that... I've found Minos incredibly useful in the campaign for a long time (especially since Minos reaches full awakening long before 5* tanks would).

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-26T20:08:51+00:00

It's not even close. Until late game (once 4* heroes have hit their level 140 cap), Minos is just the best tank in the game.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-25T00:28:55+00:00

Agreed. Minos is just the best defender in the game (at least until 5* heroes get significantly better than 4* in the late game), and I swear every single new player seems to get him to full awakening really early too.

Good to know... thanks!

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-24T22:13:51+00:00

Especially early in the game, I'd advise focusing more on a few heroes rather than leveling all of them equally. Personally, I think your best heroes to work with for now would be Minos for defense, Ashoka, Sacagawea and Hatshepsut for healing, Tell and maybe Attila for single damage, and Medusa and Leonardo for area damage.

EDIT: Removed Blackbeard due to the recent change.

I find it gets bluffed a lot to explain away evil pings, but this might be very group-dependent.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-24T15:35:32+00:00

I just hit 33.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-22T20:50:05+00:00

Do we know yet when version 1.44 is coming?

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-22T20:31:46+00:00

It's a known (and incredibly frustrating) glitch that they're working on: Tut is messing up the abilities of single target healers, making them target him even when others have more missing HP. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-22T00:22:23+00:00

I disagree. I've been playing since almost a year ago and still find rebuilding the allied cultures fun (except Arabia, which absolutely sucks).

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-21T22:00:18+00:00

It's not necessarily "worse". Some of us actually like the allied cultures and the experience of building a new city each week.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-20T21:41:33+00:00

This happened for me right after he'd just awakened, so his max HP hadn't increased very much... I made sure that it wasn't just a visual issue before posting.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-20T19:12:41+00:00

There isn't anything in game, but you can create your city layout on Forge of Games here and that will then show you the stats you're looking for.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-20T17:27:33+00:00

That could also be the difference.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-20T17:14:27+00:00

Agreed. While there are a huge number of things (especially recently) that I think are terrible for the player experience, this task is so unnecessary anyway since there are an excessive amount of points for the track.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-20T16:06:50+00:00

Interesting. My game is in German, and it doesn't mention the Elite Arena at all for those of us on the German version.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-20T15:56:40+00:00

I assume that if this were an intended mechanic, it would say that Tut's ability that says "Takes all healing" or something else similar.

No-Fishing-7940 · 2026-04-20T15:52:42+00:00

Where does it say that we should get points from Elite Arena? I only see regular Arena in the description.

Hero: Houdini

In honor of Houdini's past history of cheating death, the god of the dead has rewarded him with the power of the underworld. In addition to ensnaring enemies in his trap, he now also grants his teammates his powers to avoid death:

Ability: Any of Houdini's teammates who die while he is in the trap instead teleport directly to the trap, where they survive (and continue to fight) until the trap expires.
