What Makes a Good Hero in King of Avalon?
There are many things that make a hero great in King of Avalon. These include the hero’s ability to deal damage, his unique skills, and his overall performance in battle. Here are the main things that make a hero powerful in King of Avalon:
Hero Rarity
As in most medieval mobile games, the King of Avalon heroes come in three different types of Rarity, which can be identified by their colors: blue (Rare), purple (Epic), and orange (Legendary). Rare heroes are the weakest, while Legendary heroes have the highest stats and are best suited to progressing in the game.
Heroes of each Rarity have different levels of power, star levels, and active skills. For example, Rare heroes can reach up to level 40 with 4 stars and 4 Appointed Skills, while Epic heroes can get up to level 50, with 5 stars, and 5 Appointed Skills. Legendary heroes, on the other hand, can be upgraded up to level 60 with 6 stars and 6 Appointed Skills.
To ensure the best performance and progress in King of Avalon, it is important to recruit and upgrade high-tier heroes.
Hero Level
Obviously, the higher the level of your heroes in King of Avalon, the stronger they will become. As each hero can reach a maximum of level 60, with every increase in the level of each hero, the stats will be improved as well. Moreover, it is also noteworthy that the level of the hero also affects the number of Appointed Skills that can be unlocked.
Appointed Skills (Hero Council)
Appointed Skills are crucial when it comes to increasing your hero’s performance. While some heroes have fewer essential skills for a specific game mode, other heroes include amazing skills that can help boost the damage of your troops significantly. Such skills include Cavalry Attack, Archer Attack, Infantry, or Troop Attack.
The Appointed Skills become available only when the hero is appointed to the Hero Council. Depending on the hero’s Rarity, there are between 4 and 6 Appointed Skills, and they can be upgraded by using Hero Fragments. Each Appointed Skill also required a certain hero level to be reached in order for that skill to be unlocked. The first skill requires hero level 5, followed by levels 10, 15, 25, 35, and hero level 40 for the 6th skill.
These skills can be upgraded individually using EXP items, and by doing so, the stats provided by each Appointed Skill will be increased, so make sure to upgrade them as often as possible, to increase your hero’s overall damage output or their defense.
The Unique Skill and Star Level
Each hero in King of Avalon has a unique skill that plays a crucial role in the hero’s overall performance in battle, and it becomes available after summoning the hero. This skill is directly affected by the Star Level as well as the Hero level. The higher these two levels are, the more powerful the Unique Skill’s stats will be.
Having the highest Star Level possible is essential to maximize the potential of your heroes in King of Avalon. Upgrading a hero up to 5 stars increases the strength of their Unique and Appointed Skills, making them more effective in battle. To upgrade your hero’s Star Level, you must use Hero Fragments.
Unique Skill’s Base Effect
The Unique Skill’s Base Effect becomes available after recruiting the hero and applies only while your troops are marching (Barbarian Camps attacks, rallies, PvP attacks, gathering resources, etc.). To increase your damage as much as possible, you should pick heroes that have the best damage boost as the Base Effect.
The Unique Skill’s Resonance Effect (Resonance type)
The Resonance bonus effect becomes active only when you have two heroes with the same Resonance type in your squad. It applies to heroes garrisoned to the Wall Defense, attacking Barbarians, and doing Path of Legend Chapters.
The Resonance Types
There are 4 types of Resonance: Gallantry, Freedom, Glory, and Prosperity. The Resonance bonus effect can increase the overall damage of a hero considerably. However, these bonuses vary from one hero to another. That’s why is essential to pick the right heroes of the same Resonance type when forming your troop, and it also depends on the type of game mode you are playing.
