R\u00e9ponse rapide<\/strong><\/p>\n

Build one main squad first. Put two Defence heroes in front and Attack or Support heroes behind them. Raise the five together by level, but concentrate universal shards and skill medals on the heroes and breakpoints that change the squad\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Start with the three things people confuse<\/h2>\n

Every hero has a battlefield role<\/strong>, a troop type<\/strong> and a rarity<\/strong>. They are separate decisions:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Hero label<\/th>\nWhat it tells you<\/th>\nWhat to do with it<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
D\u00e9fense<\/strong><\/td>\nThe hero is designed to absorb pressure or protect the team.<\/td>\nNormally place it in the front row and prioritise survival.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Attaque<\/strong><\/td>\nThe hero\u2019s main job is dealing damage.<\/td>\nProtect it in the back row and invest in its reliable damage skills.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Soutien<\/strong><\/td>\nThe hero improves the squad through buffs, healing, control or protection.<\/td>\nPlace it behind the frontline and judge the effect on the whole team.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Tank \/ Aircraft \/ Missile<\/strong><\/td>\nThe hero\u2019s troop type, used for counters and lineup bonuses.<\/td>\nBuild around one main type before funding a second full squad.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
UR \/ SSR \/ SR<\/strong><\/td>\nThe hero\u2019s rarity and the type of shards used for progression.<\/td>\nDo not replace a developed hero merely because a higher-rarity portrait appears.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

Build the five-hero formation first<\/h2>\n

A standard formation has two exposed positions at the front and three protected positions behind them. Last War\u2019s official guidance places Defence heroes in front, with Attack and Support heroes in the back. That is the safe starting point; battle reports tell you when a lane needs adjusting.<\/p>\n

A dependable starting structure<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Front left and front right:<\/strong> two Defence heroes capable of surviving the opening pressure.<\/li>\n
  • Back row:<\/strong> the main attacker, a second damage dealer and either another attacker or a Support hero.<\/li>\n
  • Strongest lane:<\/strong> place the tougher defender opposite the enemy lane causing the earliest collapse.<\/li>\n
  • Protected damage:<\/strong> keep the attacker receiving your best gun, chip and skill investment behind a stable defender.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Tank, Aircraft and Missile also form a counter cycle: Tank counters Missile, Missile counters Aircraft, and Aircraft counters Tank.<\/strong> A matching lineup grants +5% HP, Attack and Defence with three heroes of one type, +15% with four, and +20% with all five. A mixed squad can still be correct, but the hero you add must repay the formation bonus you lose.<\/p>\n

    What each upgrade actually changes<\/h2>\n
    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Upgrade<\/th>\nMain benefit<\/th>\nBest practical rule<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

    Stars: plan for a finish line<\/h2>\n

    Star progression uses hero-specific shards or universal shards of the matching rarity. Community references document the standard five-star path below. Treat the numbers as a planning baseline and confirm the requirement shown on your live hero screen before committing resources; events, future systems or balance changes can alter what you see.<\/p>\n

    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Target<\/th>\nShards for this star<\/th>\nCumulative shards<\/th>\nPlanning meaning<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
    1 star<\/strong><\/td>\n25<\/td>\n25<\/td>\nEarly development; avoid judging the finished hero here.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    2 stars<\/strong><\/td>\n50<\/td>\n75<\/td>\nThe hero begins opening its broader skill progression.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    3 stars<\/strong><\/td>\n100<\/td>\n175<\/td>\nA practical early breakpoint for a hero you actively use.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    4 stars<\/strong><\/td>\n300<\/td>\n475<\/td>\nA major breakpoint and the Academy\u2019s first priority for the main lineup.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    5 stars<\/strong><\/td>\n500<\/td>\n975<\/td>\nPowerful but expensive; compare the gain with bringing another core hero to four stars.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

    Each star is divided into smaller tiers, so partial investment still adds progress. The strategic mistake is not adding a tier\u2014it is leaving premium universal shards scattered across several heroes with no important breakpoint close enough to finish.<\/p>\n

    Simple shard rule<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If your main attacker is 40 shards from four stars and a new bench hero is 475 shards from the same point, finish the attacker unless the new hero is part of a deliberate replacement plan. One completed breakpoint normally helps today; two unfinished projects do not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Skills: upgrade the job, not the row<\/h2>\n

    Skill medals become scarce as skill levels rise. Do not press every available upgrade from left to right. Open the skill details, read what changes at the next level, and ask whether it improves the hero\u2019s main responsibility in the mode you are building for.<\/p>\n

    Community priority lists can be useful starting points, but heroes have different kits and some exclusive weapons change how those kits work. The live skill description is the final authority. After a major skill upgrade, repeat the same battle and confirm that damage, survival or support contribution improved.<\/p>\n

    A sensible investment order<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Name the main five.<\/strong> Choose the squad used for everyday progression, alliance battles and most competitive content.<\/li>\n
    2. Fix the formation.<\/strong> Two proper frontline heroes must survive long enough for the back row to work.<\/li>\n
    3. Keep useful levels moving.<\/strong> Raise the main five before spending Hero EXP on heroes that do not enter battle.<\/li>\n
    4. Take the core five towards four stars.<\/strong> Give the primary attacker or failing frontline priority when a breakpoint is close.<\/li>\n
    5. Concentrate skill medals.<\/strong> Fund the skills responsible for damage, survival or team support instead of maintaining matching numbers.<\/li>\n
    6. Only then widen the roster.<\/strong> Develop a second troop-type formation when the first squad is stable rather than cannibalising it every week.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
