Upgrade Priority: Where to Spend First

Which heroes to build first in each faction, plus how to spend resources from early to late game.

Faction build priority

Within each faction, build top to bottom — priority picks first, fodder last.

General principles by phase

01

Early Game

Placeholder: focus resources on one reliable carry and one healer. Avoid spreading upgrades thin across too many heroes.

02

Mid Game

Placeholder: build a second damage dealer and start investing in a front-line tank for PvP.

03

Late Game

Placeholder: round out factional teams and chase artifact substats for your core units.

Best Heroes to Invest In

Placeholder: prioritize flexible, multi-mode heroes (see the Hero Tier page) over narrow specialists.

Common Upgrade Mistakes

Placeholder: over-investing in early-game freebies, ignoring artifacts, and leveling too many heroes at once.

Resource Priority

Placeholder: gear/artifacts > hero levels > skill ranks > cosmetic upgrades. Adjust per game economy.
