← Hero factions: warriors, warlocks and rangers

**Hero factions** split the whole roster into three groups: warrior, warlock and ranger. A faction
decides who the hero hits harder and who hits the hero softer, and it works in a circle: warrior
beats warlock, warlock beats ranger, ranger beats warrior. The difference is 20% damage, so a squad
matched against the enemy wins against a random one at equal Might.

Factions matter for squad building too. Three heroes of one faction give the whole squad +5% to HP,
attack and defense, three plus two of another give +10%, four of one give +15% and all five give
+20%. The [[hero-teams|Teams]] page covers this in detail.

The publisher's official guide describes the same circle, but its text has the order reversed:
there the warrior beats the ranger and the ranger beats the warlock. The hint on the hero screen
in the game itself says the opposite: rangers take 20% less damage from warriors, warlocks from
rangers and warriors from warlocks. That order is the one used here and in the
[Squad Builder](/en/wiki/squad-builder).

The summary below shows how many heroes each faction holds and which buildings strengthen it.

| Faction | What the faction gives | Building | Heroes |
