Heroes serve as the backbone of your military forces in Total Battle, acting as powerful commanders who lead your armies into battle. Each hero can be customized through equipment, talents, and stat progression to match your strategic needs and playstyle preferences.
Understanding hero mechanics is crucial for both PvE exploration and PvP combat, as heroes provide significant bonuses that can determine the outcome of battles.
Hero Stats
Every hero has four primary stats that determine their effectiveness in different aspects of combat:
- Leadership: Determines the maximum number of troops the hero can command
- Authority: Determines the maximum number of mercenaries the hero can command
- Dominance: Determines the maximum number of monster the hero can command
These stats can be improved through leveling up, equipment, talents, and various bonuses from clan structures and events.
Hero Levels and Experience
Heroes gain experience points (XP) through various activities and level up to increase their base stats and unlock new talent points.
Experience Sources
- Completing battles against monsters
- Participating in PvP combat
- Using XP items from events and rewards
Level Benefits
Each level increase provides:
- Automatic stat increases to Leadership, Dominance and Authority
- Talent points to spend in the talent tree
Equipment System
Heroes can equip gear in six different slots, each providing stat bonuses.
Talent System
The talent tree allows heroes to specialize in different combat roles and strategies. Talent points are earned by leveling up the hero.
Important: Talent points can be reset using talent reset items, allowing you to respec your hero for different situations or strategies.
