🎯 Target Priority

Each unit attacks the nearest enemy (euclidean distance) — not necessarily the weakest. Proper positioning can "protect" your carry by placing tanks between it and the enemy.

📏 Radius Matters

Larger heroes (higher radius) are easier to hit with AoE and attract more stray projectiles. Consider this when building vs. AoE-heavy comps.

⚔️ Frontline vs. Backline

Place tanks (Shell-Back, Iron Golem, Siege Troll, Loyal Squire) at the front. Keep ranged and support heroes behind them. Melee heroes in the back have to walk past friendlies before reaching enemies.

🎯 Isolated Ranged

A ranged hero placed far from your frontline forces enemy melee to travel a long path to reach it — granting extra free attack cycles. Strong in early rounds before Siege Troll and Void Shinobi become available.

💥 AoE & Spacing

Heroes packed tightly together are vulnerable to AoE: Thunder Griffin (Chain Lightning), Pyromancer (Fireball), Iron Golem (Earthquake). Spreading ranged units reduces this risk — but be aware that isolated units become prime targets for Void Shinobi (Shadow Step), which teleports directly to the most distant enemy.

🌊 MAELSTROM Synergy

Storm Leviathan's MAELSTROM pulls all enemies toward the arena center. Placing your own AoE heroes near the center maximizes damage after the pull lands.

🌊 MAELSTROM + AoE

MAELSTROM (r550) pulls ALL enemies toward the arena center. Any AoE skill then hits the entire grouped team: Pyromancer's Fireball, Elite Archer's Arrow Rain, Furious Barbarian's Crushing Leap. The pull is the enabler — the damage source is flexible.

⚡ Templar + Skill Teams

SACRED PRESENCE grants +40/80/160% mana generation to all allies. At L2 the team fires skills nearly twice as often — a multiplier on every skill-based hero in the lineup.

🐺 Dire Wolf + Melee

PACK HOWL gives a flat +5/10/20 ATK buff to every ally globally. In a melee-dense lineup the ATK bonus compounds with each attack per second from every unit on the board.

🔗 Voodoo Shaman + Tank

SPIRIT LINK reflects a share of focused enemy damage onto the highest-HP enemy. With a tank drawing fire in front, the enemy's carry takes true damage without ever being directly targeted.

🎯 Bounty Hunter + Ranged

MARK OF DEATH forces ALL allies to focus the marked target. Melee heroes need to walk to it first — ranged heroes pivot and shoot instantly. The more ranged units in your team, the faster the marked target dies.

🧌 Siege Troll

TROLL TOSS grabs a unit (max 150px) and throws it at the most distant enemy — directly into the ranged cluster at the backline. AoE r100 stun hits everyone grouped there.

⛰️ Iron Golem

EARTHQUAKE is an instant AoE stun (r250) centered on the Golem. Melee-heavy teams naturally cluster on the frontline — the Golem stuns all of them simultaneously.

🧙 Plague Witch

FLY SWARM targets the highest-ATK enemy, applying DoT + −50% ATK reduction + Silence for 4 seconds. This neutralizes the opponent's primary damage dealer at full effectiveness.

🐈‍⬛ Nimble Rogue

CAMOUFLAGE removes the Rogue from all targeting. Invisible units cannot be targeted by poison pools, breath cones, or fly swarms — the Rogue keeps attacking while being unhittable.

👤 Void Shinobi

SHADOW STEP teleports to the most distant enemy, then silences all units nearby on landing (r150). A ranged hero positioned far from the rest of its team is the perfect target — Void Shinobi teleports directly to it and neutralizes it before it can reposition.

⚡ Thunder Griffin (& other AoE)

CHAIN LIGHTNING bounces between nearby enemies, losing 20% damage per jump. The tighter the enemy formation, the more jumps connect. Same logic: Pyromancer (Fireball), Iron Golem (Earthquake), Furious Barbarian (Crushing Leap) — any AoE is amplified by clustering.
