Players building hero teams and gear.
Summary
Three hero factions (by color). Three factions — use colors for clarity:
Three factions — use colors for clarity:
• Blue (Dawn Wing) — Laura
• Red (Vlad Rose) — Sophia
• Yellow (Order Guardians) — Mia
Using colors makes alliance chat faster: say "blue team" or "red team" and everyone understands, without remembering full faction names.
■ Why factions matter
Putting several heroes of the same faction in one squad grants a faction buff (about 10%, see "Squads 1, 2, and 3"). Each faction also ties to a main troop type and a matching research line:
• Blue team with Laura → prioritize the Shooter research line.
• Red team with Sophia → prioritize the Assaulter research line.
■ The three hero buildings
Each faction has a matching hero building: Dawn Tower, Frost Garden and Order Hall. These buildings raise hero power and troop capacity (see "Builders and building order"). Once you choose your main faction, prioritize its building.
■ Which faction to choose
The article "Squads 1, 2, and 3" recommends developing blue first and keeping yellow in Squad 3. If you are new, this is the safe path: focus resources on one faction instead of splitting them across all three.
■ Tips
• List the orange heroes you own by faction to see which faction is closest to 5 heroes.
• Before spending hero shards, check the hero's faction and whether it belongs to your main squad.
After each game patch, verify numbers in-game (warehouse, lab, hero screens). If something differs, report via Feedback or article comments.
