Who Are the Best Characters?
We consider the three best characters to be:
- Metzli
- Mai
- Shamira
Let’s dive into each character in more detail to find out why we like them and how they best fit into a team:
Metzli (Tinkerer)
Metzli allows you to deploy turrets and traps to deal constant damage on the battlefield. As well as continuously damaging enemies, Metzli will also provide improvements and repairs to constructions on the during the battle.
Metzli is a great character to have on your team to control the pace of combat and create dangerzones on the battlefield that your enemies will want to avoid.

Mai (Enchantress)
Mai is all about crowd control and dealing area-of-effect damage across a large numbers of enemies on the battlefield. She can also help buff your team by providing power ups to make them hit harder and take less damage.
Shamira (Priestess)
Whilst both Metzli and Mai are offering huge offensive bonuses to your team, Shamira will be your lifeline for keeping the team alive. Shamira offers healing spells to both individual units or group healing multiple units at a time.
If you find your team in a tricky spot, Shamira can offer protective shields to keep your units safe and even revive fallen members of the team.
