Who's Who (and How Rare): Quickly see a hero's name and their typical rarity. No more guessing if that new golden glow means they're a superstar or just a shiny paperweight.

Hero Combo recommendations
Here are hero recommendations for both Free-to-Play and Paying players
Strongest Set for Free-to-Play Players: This set focuses on heroes that are powerful and can be acquired and leveled up over time without spending money, through consistent gameplay and saving resources for key events.
Infantry: Howard (Epic): A reliable early-game frontline tank with solid AoE damage. He is a good hero to use while a player works on acquiring and ascending a Legendary hero [Source 1].
Cavalry: Jabel (Legendary): Considered one of the best F2P Legendary heroes because his shards can be earned through consistent in-game activities, such as Intel Missions [Source 2]. He offers strong AoE damage and mobility, making him a solid choice for a Cavalry march.
Archer: Zoe (Legendary): An excellent F2P tank for Archer marches, Zoe is available through the Hero Roulette event [Sources 3, 4].1 By saving gems, players can acquire her shards to make her a durable and valuable leader.
Strongest Set for Paying Players: This set is for players who are willing to spend money to acquire and invest in the most powerful and meta-defining heroes. The recommendations offer choices based on playstyle.
Infantry (Choice between Offensive and Defensive):
Offensive: Amadeus (Legendary): A premium, VIP-only hero, Amadeus is known for his high single-target and sustained damage. He is a top choice for players who want to build an aggressive Infantry march and is described as "the most expensive hero in Kingshot" to max out [Source 5].
Defensive: Eric (Legendary): As a newer Gen 3 hero, Eric is a top-tier defensive tank with powerful skills. He is an excellent choice for players who prioritize garrison defense and a durable frontline [Source 6].
Cavalry: Petra (Legendary): A powerful Gen 3 hero, Petra is a high-impact offensive rally leader.2 She is considered a new "META" hero who requires significant investment to reach her full potential, making her a prime hero for paying players [Source 7].
Archer: Marlin (Legendary): A strong offensive rally leader and one of the most powerful Archer heroes in the game. His AOE and healing skills are described as "insane," and he is often a hero that paying players focus on acquiring and maxing out through events like the "Hall of Heroes" [Source 8].
Rationale for Hero Selections
The selection of heroes is based on a balance of a hero's power, their availability, and their role in the current game meta.
Amadeus vs. Eric: Both are excellent Legendary Infantry heroes, but they serve different strategic purposes. Amadeus is a potent offensive hero, while Eric, as a more recent Gen 3 hero, is a top-tier defensive tank. The fact that newer heroes like Eric often benefit from "power creep" means he can be a stronger choice in the current meta, but both are valid depending on a player's strategy.
