On the battlefield of the Dragon Stone War, each hero bears one or two distinct labels, which are like their unique imprints, determining their functional positioning and combat style in fierce battles. In the following overview of representative heroes in the Dragon Stone War, we will delve into these heroes and share with you an introduction that can help everyone understand the mysteries of different hero positions and the subtle differences in their functionalities.
Tank heroes, they absorb damage, relying on their strong survivability to stand at the forefront of the team. In this category, Shino is an outstanding representative of a stable tank, whose core mechanism cleverly revolves around the unique concept of summoning damage absorbers. When Shino suffers enemy attacks, his passive skill, Earthshaking Stone Split, instantly triggers, as if by some magical force, small stone people suddenly appear around him. These cute little guys are not just simple decorations; they possess extraordinary abilities, bravely sharing the damage Shino receives, allowing him to catch his breath even amidst a hail of bullets. Moreover, their appearance is not only a form of physical support but also visually confuses the enemy, making it difficult for them to distinguish the real target. At the same time, these stone people can disrupt the enemy's rhythm at the skill level, forcing the enemy to be cautious when attacking, thus creating a relatively safe and stable output environment for our backline heroes.
Warrior heroes are the main characters for melee damage output. Their position on the battlefield is very clear: the core of the team. They have both a certain degree of survivability and powerful offensive capabilities. Although their toughness is slightly inferior compared to traditional tank heroes, they excel more in dealing damage. They usually operate in the front or mid ranks. Among the many warrior heroes, Kargor and Achilles are quite famous.
Kargor, a typical berserker-style hero, sees his attack power skyrocket as his health decreases. Especially when he is equipped with the Last Stand series of gear, every drop in health seems to awaken his strength, almost converting every drop of blood into deadly striking power. In the late stages of battle, when other heroes show signs of fatigue, he becomes the key factor for a comeback with his unique fighting style. Achilles, on the other hand, follows a nimble, lightly armored route. His high mobility is a significant advantage, and his skill mechanics grant him the ability to quickly unleash multi-segment bursts of damage.
Assassin heroes are also masters of melee damage output, but they have a completely different fighting style from warriors. Assassins specialize in finding and exploiting the weak points of enemies, excelling in rushing the enemy's backline. In battle, they often serve as a special solution, especially important when facing an enemy lineup with a large number of vulnerable backline units. Claudia, an assassin hero with super assassination skills, is a prime example.
On the battlefield, Claudia can easily cross the enemy formation and directly reach the enemy's backline. Once she locks onto a target, she launches an attack to take out the enemy's key unit. However, she has a fatal weakness: her relatively low health. She may be instantly killed under the enemy's counterattack. Therefore, she must rely on special equipment to increase her chances of survival on the battlefield, such as camouflage outfits that enhance evasion or survivability. Additionally, she needs to coordinate with powerful frontliners who can draw aggro or use crowd control skills, creating the best timing for her attacks through tactical pincer movements.
Damage dealers, or ranged damage dealers, are distinguished from warriors and assassins by their ability to attack from a distance. In battle, they are typically placed in the backline of the team. However, they are also more fragile, and once the enemy gets close, they can easily find themselves in a dangerous situation. The representative character here is Andrena, a powerful backline damage dealer who focuses on high-attack-speed basic attacks. Her skills come with a healing disable effect, a unique ability that allows her to strike at the heart of enemy teams that rely on healing. Her high-frequency basic attacks not only rapidly accumulate damage but also put immense pressure on the enemy's healers and tanks.
Support heroes are the unsung contributors of the team, providing various buffs to allied heroes or debuffs to enemy heroes. In battle, they usually stay in the backline, casting their magic from a relatively safe position. For example, Syliss, a summoner-type support hero, can continuously summon auxiliary units like Brute Acorns. These adorable little helpers not only assist in absorbing fire and reducing the pressure on frontline heroes but also create effective distractions on the battlefield. This unique growth-based damage output mechanism allows her to become increasingly powerful as the battle progresses, making her suitable for teamwork with endurance-focused frontliners or healer support heroes to build a durable and sustained combat strategy.
Flying heroes, their existence is not based on functional role tags but serves as a key marker to differentiate between ground and air units. Airborne flying heroes have a natural advantage; ground units are powerless against them, while air units cannot be attacked by ground melee units. Only ranged units and air melee units can pose a threat to them. The representative character here is Robin, a hero known for air suppression. His advantages go beyond just flying; he also has a priority strike mechanism against flying units. Once his rage skill is released, it can cause the enemy to fall and be restrained, rendering them immobile in the air.
In the overview of representative heroes in the Dragon Stone War, have you found the representative characters for each role? Here, the functional distinctions among heroes are clear and nuanced, offering multiple choices for both front and backlines.
