In the Dragonstone War, there are many different heroes, each with a unique role based on their skill mechanisms, talents, and spirit vein effects. These roles vary when paired with different troops for combat. So, what are the hero roles in Dragonstone War? Below is a brief explanation, along with recommendations for heroes of different roles, to help you choose your characters. Interested players, come and take a look!
Frontline Tank Type
Taking on the role of being "at the very front" of the team, their duty is to attract enemy fire, absorb a large amount of damage, and protect the backline as much as possible. Shino is undoubtedly the strongest tank in the current version. His passive skill, "Earthshaking Stone Split," can summon small stone minions to assist in absorbing damage after taking hits. These summoned units not only divert enemy attacks but also have certain tactical disruption capabilities, especially useful for buffering health loss during enemy burst attacks. His rage skill, "Ground Rupture Strike," is a core control skill that can knock up and stun the most threatening enemy unit, greatly helping to disrupt the enemy's frontline formation. Haro is more suitable for chaotic battle scenarios; his counter-voltage frequently triggers reflected damage when enemies are densely packed, and he gains a thick shield based on the number of surrounding enemies when releasing his rage skill, making him a natural counter to swarm tactics.
Warrior-Type Frontline
Different from pure tanks, these heroes have some resistance and also possess notable melee output, serving as a pivot point in the team that can both absorb damage and create openings. As a berserker representative, Karrego's damage increases the longer the battle lasts. His skills are linked to his health, and he becomes even more explosive when at low health, dealing extremely high execution damage when combined with "Desperate Battle" type Dragonstones. Achilles is a typical guerrilla warrior, skilled at weaving through the battlefield and cutting into enemy lines. His rage skill includes displacement and burst, allowing him to instantly hit key enemy damage dealers, but he is relatively fragile and needs to be paired with protective Dragonstones to enhance his survivability. Warrior-type heroes are often more suitable for players who enjoy high-level play, as they can grasp the rhythm and timing of engagements, often delivering crucial blows that change the tide of battle.
Ranged Damage Dealer
These are the main sources of damage in the team, usually possessing powerful AOE skills or high-frequency single-target attacks. Syliss is a representative of summoning-type damage dealers, continuously summoning small combat units on the battlefield, such as Brutal Acorns, to form a distraction, support, and hate-sharing effect. Her rage skill, "Sonic Blast," increases attack frequency based on the number of acorns, making her a growth-type damage dealer who becomes stronger the longer the battle drags on. She is well-suited to be paired with sustain-focused tanks and healers, forming a "grind" system. Andrena is a high-attack-speed marksman, primarily relying on frequent basic attacks for damage. Her skills include a healing ban effect, effectively countering enemy healer-type heroes, especially excelling against teams with regenerative Dragonstones. Thor, as an expert in group attacks, has skills that can gather enemies and deal area damage, particularly effective in situations with numerous or densely packed enemies, capable of achieving instant AOE kills.
Backline Assassin
Possessing extreme mobility and burst, these assassins are specifically tasked with infiltrating the enemy ranks to eliminate key backline units. Claudia is a typical example of this type of assassin, able to stealthily infiltrate the enemy rear, instantly dealing massive single-target damage and disrupting enemy formations. However, due to her extremely fragile nature, she needs to be equipped with items that increase evasion or provide damage immunity to prolong her survival. Theodore is a high-burst assassin whose rage skill can instantly unleash 10 rapid strikes, making him one of the strongest single-target killers in the current version. He is best deployed when the enemy backline has important controllers or damage dealers, directly dismantling the enemy's core.
Support and Healer Type
Although not responsible for dealing damage, these heroes are key to ensuring the team's stable and sustained combat. Taren, as a versatile support, can not only restore health to allied units but also convert a portion of the damage dealt into healing for the entire team, acting as the "healing engine." When paired with heroes that deal high-frequency attacks, he can indirectly improve the team's endurance. Simon is a battlefield medic focused on group healing, excelling in large-scale battles. He can perform area healing and, upon using his skills, also provide attack buffs, shields, and dispel negative effects, making him the most reliable survival guarantor on the battlefield.
Regarding the hero roles in Dragonstone War and the corresponding hero recommendations, the common hero roles in SLG games are those mentioned above. In the early stages of the game, the focus for a single team is on having a solid frontline tank hero paired with efficient AOE, or a summoning damage dealer with support. As the game progresses, more refined combinations can be made by incorporating multiple team systems.
