🦸 Hero Setup Tips

  • ▶ Keep Hero skill bars simple — remove any skill that isn't actively useful for your current area.
  • ▶ Use the "Hero Setup" panel (press U) to customize each Hero's build.
  • ▶ For solo play, always bring at least 1 healer Hero (Monk or Ritualist primary).
  • Imbagon Paragon Hero is the single best support unit in the game — recruit one ASAP in Nightfall.
  • ▶ Flag your Heroes to "guard" mode (stand ground) at chokepoints to avoid them running into stupid deaths.
