To maximize account progression in Hero Clash, allocate your primary Night faction resources into Duke of Night and Regulus before investing in secondary units. Duke of Night secures turn advantage in player-versus-player (PvP) matches, while Regulus provides the single-target damage required to clear campaign and boss walls. Secondary supports should only be raised to functional utility thresholds, leaving outdated heroes at fodder tiers to supply promotion material.

Core Night Faction Carries

Two S+ heroes serve as the backbone of the faction and justify maximum resource investment:

  • Duke of Night: Acts as the premier speed-control and disruption carry. His kit applies bleed effects, crowd control, and action denial to disable enemy formations. In PvP, landing first-turn control frequently decides matches by silencing opposing threats before they can act. Prioritize high speed, effect hit, and relic enhancements on him.
  • Regulus: Serves as the primary single-target burst assassin. He excels at breaking through high-health PvE trials, guild bosses, and multi-team adventure stages. His passive reset mechanic triggers upon securing a kill, allowing him to chain attacks through remaining enemies. Prioritize attack, critical hit rate, and armor penetration to ensure kill triggers.

High-Utility Support Heroes

After securing your core carries, develop utility supports to stabilize incoming damage and support your offensive line. These units do not need maximum awakening to fulfill their roles:

  • Denise: Provides defensive utility and disruption without demanding high base stats. She absorbs burst damage, grants shields, and stalls opposing teams while your primary carries prepare their skill rotations.
  • Sophia: Focuses on energy manipulation and control extension. She drains enemy energy, disrupts skill cycles, and prolongs status effects applied by Duke of Night.

Step-by-Step Account Investment Order

Follow this sequence to avoid resource bottlenecks when upgrading the Night faction:

  1. Max Duke of Night: Funnel hero selection chests and rare faction summons into Duke of Night until he reaches maximum awakening, focusing gear substats on speed.
  2. Build Regulus for Boss Progression: Direct single-target offensive gear and duplicate chests into Regulus to overcome campaign hurdles and guild trial bosses.
  3. Bring Supports to Transcendent: Upgrade Denise and Sophia only until their necessary passive survivability and energy-control skills unlock, keeping them at Transcendent tier.
  4. Recycle Fodder for Promotion Spikes: Cap outdated or low-utility Night heroes at 9-star or 10-star, and consume them strictly as promotion food to advance Duke of Night and Regulus to Eternal rank. Avoid spending rare faction tokens on non-carry duplicates.
