Colors are not just fancy things. They play a significant role in battle. There are a total of five non-identical colors. Red, Purple, Green, Yellow, and Blue are the colors. A hero is strong or weak in opposition to is decided by colors. Blue heroes get more damage from green heroes but do more damage to red heroes.

Heroes have more power and better skills the higher their rarity from the heroes of lower rarity; nonetheless, all heroes can be upgraded to 6* and leveled up to 60. The strength of a hero is its rarity, and every hero has one. The rarity is determined by the number of stars a hero has. More powerful heroes have more stars. Types of stars:

 

• ★ (Common)
• ★★ (Uncommon)
• ★★★ (Rare)
• ★★★★ (Epic)
• ★★★★★ (Legendary)

 

At the beginning of the game, it doesn't matter which rarity you have as long as you have a functional team to deliver at a varying content but always replace whenever you find a rarer hero to keep balancing against harder content. Later in the game, you should have Legendary and Epic heroes in your team comp, but rare quality only if there are slots left. Upgrade and level up regular heroes only till you find their replacements; after that, just feed them.

 

Stats decides the combat abilities of a hero. There are a total of nine rare stats. The stats are:

 

• Attack (ATK) – total number of damages done to an opponent.

Special Abilities

Special abilities are beneficial during a fight/combat. Special abilities can only e used when Mana's bar of a hero is filled. If it is not the hero's turn, your hero can still activate special abilities. Your hero can activate special abilities all the time if the Mana Gain stat of a hero is high. Both Role and Class play a significant and special role in a hero having several special abilities.

 

By checking your profile in the hero's menu, you can check your special abilities. More significant damage, give buffs, and restore depleted HP can be dealt with by some special abilities.

 

All of the special skills of your heroes can be used when their bar is full. Special skills can be offensive and defensive, be a single target or AoE. In general, special skills fall under the following categorization:

 

• Dealing damage to enemies.
• Healing.
• Mana regeneration.
• Revival of fallen heroes.
• Applying buffs or debuffs.
• Cleanse.

 

Special skills also follow the color affinity chart, so if there is a dominant affinity from the attacking hero to the enemy, the special abilities can give 30% increased damage. In comparison, a missive affinity can reduce it by 30%.
