Prioritize durable frontline anchors like Grimnall and utility-focused supports before investing heavy promotion materials into fragile damage carries. Anchors stabilize early campaign runs and high-tier boss encounters by absorbing burst damage, while enablers accelerate Titan summons and apply essential debuffs without requiring high promotion tiers.
Role Priority and Investment Order
When spending gold, ascension materials, and skill books, allocate your resources across hero roles in the following order:
- Frontline Anchors (Highest Priority): Tanks prevent team wipes against high-burst campaign waves and dungeon bosses. Champions with self-sustain, shields, taunts, or damage-reduction passives protect fragile allies and allow damage dealers to complete their skill rotations safely.
- Supports and Enablers (High Priority): Champions providing speed manipulation, skill energy generation, cleanses, and defense shredding remain effective across multiple game modes regardless of raw stats. Fast energy generation directly speeds up your Titan summoning gauge, unlocking critical team ultimates sooner.
- Primary Carries (Contextual Priority): Single-target and area-of-effect damage dealers such as Senhachi require heavy investment and team protection to function. Carries depend heavily on team setup and are more vulnerable to being replaced when new banner units arrive.
| Role | Example Champions | Core Utility | Investment Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frontline Anchor | Grimnall | Self-sustain, shielding, taunt, boss-hit stalling | Highest; anchors team survival across all modes |
| Support / Enabler | Utility champions | Energy generation, speed buffs, defense shred, cleanse | High; enables Titan summons without elite gear |
| Damage Carry | Senhachi | Burst backline elimination, wave clear | Moderate; requires strong frontline protection |
Evaluating Specific Boss Utility
Do not judge hero tier placements solely by campaign wave clearing. Progression bottlenecks shift depending on the specific encounter mechanics:
- Althar Dungeon Boss: Acts as a major stat check where general wave clearers lose value, demanding sustained single-target damage and dedicated mitigation.
- Sorgott Clan Boss: Demands specialized boss mechanics over raw damage output. Sustaining through long battle timers against Sorgott requires attack reduction debuffs, persistent cleanses, and steady health sustain.
If your team struggles on a specific boss, adjust your lineup for the necessary debuffs or defensive counters before upgrading another damage dealer.
Epic Upgrades vs. Low-Ascension Legendaries
A common account progression trap is funneling scarce resources into S-tier Legendary heroes that lack duplicate ascensions.
- Promote A-tier Epics early: Epic champions are significantly cheaper to ascend and skill up. A fully ascended, duplicate-empowered Epic hero generally outperforms an unascended, base-copy Legendary throughout early- and mid-game stages.
- Save premium skill books: Reserve Legendary-tier skill materials for versatile multi-role champions like Grimnall who anchor both standard stages and specialized boss encounters.
- Target immediate bottlenecks: If your roster fails to clear dungeon content, invest in defense-reduction supports rather than pulling or leveling redundant offensive carries.

This helped me understand heroes much better.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This saved me time in the early game.
