Lord of Heroes Introduction for Heroes Classes Tier List
Lord of Heroes, turn-based RPG, is a mobile game developed by Clover Games Studio. It follows the "stand and skill" format popularized by other mobile games of similar genres.
It differs from other "hero collector" games in that characters are not acquired through gacha. Instead, new heroes are recruited by spending various in-game currencies or through direct purchase in the Cash Shop.
Character development in this type of game is very important, so in this article, we will introduce you to heroes and equipment in detail, so that you can master the skills of the game faster. If you are a beginner, you can also refer to our reroll guide.
Heroes
You can get or recruit new heroes by the following ways:
Chronicles: allows you to recruit additional heroes at the cost of crystals or renown
Hero contracts: choose from among elite heroes to them recruit after a certain period of time.
Lord of Heroes Guide
To check the precise acquisition method, go to the lobby. Tap the heroes option. Select a hero that is locked and tap the recruit button to check its source.
Hero Classes
In the heroes menu, tap on the hero, and on the lower-right side, you will see its class/role. There are 5 classes available in Lord of Heroes:
Guardian: They have the highest defense stats in the game and often provide protection to the whole team.
Warrior: They are melee fighters dealing decent damage and have good defensive stats as well.
Striker: They have high damage stats, however, have the lowest defense capabilities.
Sniper: They can deal very high Damage from long-distance and may inflict status ailments as well. However, they exhibit low defense stats and need protection from enemy attacks.
Cleric: They provide heals, shields, other buffs to allies, and also debuffs to enemies.
For a well-balanced team be sure to use at least 1 striker, 1 guardian, and also 1 cleric in your roster.
Hero Elements
Heroes as well as enemies have an elemental affinity in the Lord of Heroes game. In the heroes menu, you can see the elemental affinity by checking the color of the hero on the bottom-right side. These elements are Red/Fire, Green/Earth, Water/Blue, Light/Yellow, Dark/Purple. Each element is strong against a certain element but weak against another one, the logic being:
- Red/Fire > Earth/Green
- Earth/Green > Water/Blue
- Water/Blue > Red/Fire
- Light/Yellow <> Dark/Purple
Leveling Up Heroes
Leveling up is the most basic way of strengthening each hero. Heroes gain Exp from each battle, but it will hardly be enough at higher levels. Moreover, you can also use Elixir of Insight or Exp bottles for leveling up your heroes. You can farm both items in story mode stages, expeditions, and also the hall of Exp.
Promote Heroes
Each hero has a level cap based on their star grade. Hence, they need to be promoted to rank up their star grades and increase their level cap. This will revert heroes back to level 1 so be sure to keep a healthy stock of elixirs before promoting a hero. Meanwhile, you can farm the promoting materials(square agates, triangular agates, round agates, and class agates) you need by repeating stages. Be sure to check the reward of each stage before playing and repeat this stage until you get enough. At higher level stages you will find better rewards. However, Crystals and Renown can’t be farmed this way because those are the first time stage clear rewards
Ascend Heroes
To Ascend a hero tap on its class icon. You will need runes (colorless runes, fire runes, water runes, earth runes, light runes, dark runes) as well as 300k renown to ascend a character. Ascending will not only change the appearance of a hero but also increase all the base stats.
Upgrading skills
Heroes have a variety of unique active and passive skills. Each of these skills can also be upgraded in two different ways. Firstly you can upgrade a random skill using elemental soulstones and mystic soulstones, along with gold. You can also selectively upgrade a specific skill using primeval soulstones and some gold. There are 6 types of Soulstones in Lord of Heroes:
- Fire Soulstone
- Water Soulstone
- Earth Soulstone
- Light Soulstone
- Dark Soulstone
- Mystic Soulstone
You can obtain Mystic Stone by raising the level of the primeval hall.
Equipment
You can craft equipment with crafting materials obtained from the hall of trials or dismantling useless equipment. You can get equipment from alchemy gacha and also from the story mode, expedition, hall of trials, music shop. Each hero can equip 6 different pieces of equipment including weapons, armor, gloves, shoes, ring, and necklaces.
Each one provides different stats: HP, DEF, ATK, Speed, etc. Moreover, equipment is available in three rarities: replica, artifact, normal, and six grades: 1-star to 6-star. The higher the grade, the more stats it grants. Regardless of rarity or grade level can be upgraded to +15.
Equipment Set Bonuses
Each gear has a set effect that activates when paired with a similar set. In effect, paired gears can result in each hero receiving 3 different set effects. This must be done with 3 pairs of gears as equipping one or more than 2 gears belonging to the same set will not trigger any added effects. Some set effects require 4 gears instead of 2 in which case, they can still be paired with another 2-set equipment. The set of Equipment bonuses available are:
- Life Set: + 15% HP for each set of x2 items
- Strength: +15% ATK power for each set of x2 items
