Beryl Warrior Hero

Facts about your Beryl Warrior Hero:

Hero Level

Let’s look at Hero levels from each side:

Attack and Wonder

As a lead player, you want your hero to be the highest level possible. Hero levels give great boosts in attack and health.

Defense

If your goal is just defense so that you can unshield, your hero should definitely be leveled as high as possible. However, many of us old-school traps know that there used to be more strategy regarding whether or not you level up your hero. We are left wondering if, with Demigods, some of this strategy will return. For traps, hero level used to be key because if your hero level was too high, leads would not hit.

All of these need to be taken into account when choosing whether or not to level your hero:

• Is the cost of this feature realistic for me?
• Are the stats worth the possible decreased hits due to hero level?
• If I choose not to level up, where else can I get stats that I am missing from hero levels?

Skilling of the Hero Tree

Skilling is no longer as simple as it was with previous heroes. We do not have massive amounts of skill points to allocate wherever we want, and it is not cut-and-dry “start at the bottom and work your way up.” Your points need to be very well-planned.

Things to Consider when Skilling:

1. In order to put just one point in the bottom skill, you must use 24 points.
2. Just because you unlock a box doesn’t mean you can max that skill; you must be a certain hero level to max the skill.
3. Points are very limited at first, then you should look out for packs that include additional hero skill points for each hero
4. Hero Gear Presets do not open right away for each hero and are included in VIP
5. Hero Skill Presets are added later, and are a VIP feature as well

There are multiple factors to consider when skilling your hero. On the defense and attack side, skilling for attack will be very important. One way to consider skilling for many players is providing max protection for your traps. 

The theory with this skilling setup is that you provide max protection for your traps, which die first and max attack for traps because they are a huge factor. You want your points for trap defense and attack as high as possible and then use any leftover points in a troop attack slot. Attack is currently important for defense players, as it allows them to kill more of their Attacker’s march.

Which Hero

With the multitude of Heroes, at times choosing the right hero to use can be difficult. We have created a table for the heroes so you can look at a side-by-side comparison of their stats. We will look at Combat Stats and Economy Stats. The number in the table is what the Hero offers at max skilled level. So be aware that, depending on your Hero Level, you may still need to make adjustments for yourself.

Demigod Combat Stats

Attack

Defense

Health

Demigod Economy Stats

Demigod Overlimit March Stats

Demigod Debuffs

The Other Heroes

WIth Demigods resetting the game, are all of those other heroes irrelevant? Mostly, but not completely. If you plan on hitting any monsters, your Demigod Hero has no skills for this, so using your original hero is best for this function.

Bait traps! Toss your old hero on with old gear and swap that hero! With the expense of gear presets for those who love bait trapping, this brings a whole new level of strategy.

Dont forget to switch to your original hero when you are powering up gear in the Gear Workshop! Make sure that the “Power Up Efficiency” tile is fully skilled in the Novice section of your hero skill tree. This drastically reduces the amount of materials you need to power up your Demigod Gear!

We have heard of many other uses for your Hero out there. So be sure to check the Eco stats on your Original Hero and see how it can help you.

Hero Garrison

While the Hero Garrison is still in your city there is currently no demigod stats included here. Therefore, this is a feature you do not need to factor into your calculations.

Equip Your Hero

Gear

Now that your trees are skilled, equip your hero with the best gear possible. For a list of the best gear, check out our Gear Guide.

New Ancient Gear Sets have also been released, and are reminiscent of our favorite pre-demi gear sets. Get info on the gear and the enhancements!

With the massive update, your hero will need to be at the top of his game to survive. Do you have what it takes?
