Top Lords Hero Stats Guide: Attributes, Gear, and Faction Buffs

Before spending upgrade materials in Top Lords, open a hero's Attribute Details menu to see which upgrades require active squad deployment and which grant permanent faction-wide buffs. Base Stats, Hero Level, Hero Star, Gear, and Relics only apply when that hero is placed in a squad, while Bond, Awakening, and Gallery bonuses passively buff matching factions even from the bench. Focus XP, gear, and relic upgrades on your deployed roster, and use star upgrades, bonds, and awakenings on benched heroes when you want passive boosts for their faction.

How to Open the Attribute Details Menu

The top-level stat summary on a hero's main screen only displays combined Attack, Defense, and HP totals. To see the exact numerical breakdown behind those numbers:

1. Open the Heroes tab and select any hero, such as Poseidon or Ragnar.
2. Find the basic stat summary (Attack, Defense, HP) near the top of the screen.
3. Tap the exclamation mark (!) icon next to those numbers to open the Attribute Details pop-up.

This window separates direct hero stats at the top from passive faction buffs and secondary combat modifiers below.

Active Squad Stats: Level, Stars, Gear, and Relics

The top five categories in the Attribute Details window only work when that specific hero is deployed in one of your squads. If a hero stays on the bench, these five sources contribute nothing in battle:

Because Hero Level provides the largest raw stat gain among active categories, prioritize XP on your main combat squad first.

Gear Slot Breakdown and Set Bonuses

Equipping all four gear slots on a deployed hero activates a +20% Attack, +20% Defense, and +20% HP four-piece set bonus. In addition to flat stats, high-tier equipment pieces (such as Dragon's Breath and Dragon's Claw) grant different percentage multipliers depending on the slot:

• Slot 1 (Weapon, e.g., Dragon's Breath): Flat Attack and HP, plus +15% Attack.
• Slot 2 (Helm): Flat Attack and Defense, plus +15% Defense.
• Slot 3 (Armor): Flat Defense and HP, plus +15% Defense.
• Slot 4 (Accessory, e.g., Dragon's Claw): Flat Attack and HP, plus +10% HP.

When enhancement materials are limited, prioritize Slots 1 and 4 on damage dealers for Attack and HP scaling, and upgrade Slots 2 and 3 first on frontline heroes to stack the +15% Defense multipliers.

Passive Faction Buffs: Bond, Awakening, and Gallery

The lower section of the Attribute Details menu tracks Bond, Awakening, and Gallery stats. Unlike level or gear stats, these bonuses remain active permanently even when the hero who unlocked them is not in a squad.

Hero Bonds and Awakening

Unlocking designated partner heroes activates their Bond bonus. For example, owning both Poseidon and Ragnar grants +5% HP to all Celestial Heroes. Similarly, Awakening a hero with their specific weapon unlocks passive faction bonuses alongside skill upgrades.

Hero Gallery Faction Rules

Increasing a hero's star level also adds percentage buffs to the Hero Gallery. Gallery buffs only apply to heroes of the same faction:

• Celestial Heroes (such as Poseidon or Gawain) only buff the Celestial faction pool. For example, raising the purple hero Gawain to 5 stars grants +2% HP to all Celestial Heroes.
• Mortal Heroes (such as Vlad) only buff the Mortal faction pool.
• Chaos Heroes (such as Hera) only buff the Chaos faction pool.

Star upgrades on unused heroes still strengthen your main squad as long as those benched heroes share a faction with your deployed lineup.

Other Attributes and Secondary Modifiers

Scrolling to the bottom of the Attribute Details window reveals the Other Attributes list. Every stat in this section starts at zero and only increases through specific hero skills, high-tier gear, or relics:

• Damage Increase and Damage Reduction
• Crit Rate, Crit Resistance, and Crit Damage
• Skill Damage and Skill Crit
• Counter-Attack modifiers
• Healing Effect
• Faction Advantage Bonus (modifies damage dealt or taken when fighting a countered faction, such as Celestial against Chaos)

Check this bottom list before committing resources to a relic or awakening weapon so you can match modifiers like Skill Damage and Skill Crit to heroes whose kits rely on active abilities.
