Squads: best compositions

Contents

A squad is five heroes. On top of their own power two things matter: the faction composition bonus and skills that work on allies instead of the owner. Below all 169 911 possible five-hero squads are ranked, and the best ones are split into tiers.

How a squad works

A squad holds five heroes. They stand in a front and a back row: the front takes the hits, the back deals damage from behind, so a tank with nobody behind him is as useless as five shooters with no tank.

Every hero leads soldiers. How many is set by their command stat: the higher it is, the bigger the army and the longer the squad survives. Command grows with hero levels and is topped up by buildings.

Each hero belongs to a faction: warrior, warlock or ranger. The factions differ from one another: warrior beats warlock, warlock beats ranger, ranger beats warrior, 20% damage either way, so the squad is also picked against the enemy you expect.

A squad built from one faction gets a shared bonus: 3 heroes of one faction give +5% HP, ATK and DEF, 3 plus 2 give +10%, 4 of one faction +15%, all 5 of one faction +20%. It is the biggest multiplier that depends purely on the line-up.

A hero's role shows in what they grow into: tanks gain HP faster, damage heroes gain ATK. Skills are looked at separately: who heals allies, puts up shields and cuts their damage. Five tanks live long but kill nothing, five damage heroes delete the first target if they live that long.

The fifth skill only works while the hero is outside the main squad, so spare heroes are never idle: they sit on the bench and buff the team from there.

How this list is built

We add up the power ceiling of the five and multiply by the faction bonus. Then comes synergy: every squad-wide skill is compared with the best skill of the same kind in the game and adds up to 8% depending on how close it gets. Percentages of damage reduction cannot be added to percentages of healing, so each kind is compared within itself. Plus 5% for healing in the squad and minus 15% when there is no tank at all. The faction bonus is a game rule, the synergy weights are our estimate.

One important caveat. What is compared here are ceilings: every hero is assumed to be fully upgraded. That never happens for a live player, and two invested SSR heroes will beat five bare UR ones. So the list answers «what to invest in», not «who to play tonight»: if one hero in your squad is twice as upgraded as the rest, they will out-perform any starless tier S hero.

Budget squads

The same for players without gacha luck: squads with no UR at all and squads with exactly one. The total power is lower, but the faction bonus and squad-wide skills work just the same.

  • 3 sources of damage reduction (35%, 20%, 9%): the team is covered nearly all the time
  • +15% HP, ATK and DEF for the whole squad from the faction bonus
  • power is spread evenly: losing one hero does not collapse the squad

Weaknesses

  • no healing: losses are only restored outside combat

  • :skill-arthur-4: Strong Will (Arthur): 9% less damage taken (tanks only)

If you have no UR heroes

The squads above are built from the strongest heroes in the game, and nearly all of them are UR. Without them a squad is put together from SSR and SR: a lower ceiling, but the same rules, and the faction bonus and squad-wide skills work for any rarity.

Strengths

  • healing during the fight, no trip back to the city after every skirmish
  • +15% HP, ATK and DEF for the whole squad from the faction bonus

Who to keep on the bench

The fifth skill works while the hero is outside the main squad. For UR heroes it is +20% ATK, HP and DEF for the whole team and +10% skill cooldown speed, for SSR +10%, for SR +5%. It unlocks at 40 stars and level 30. Spare UR heroes are therefore never idle: they sit on the bench for that bonus. Heroes with such a skill: 31 of 31.
