Many modern iterations of the genre have introduced powerful 'Hero' or 'Commander' units to lead the charge.

Some commanders excel at bolstering massive swarms, while others act as unkillable, singular forces of nature.

Heavy Melee Commanders

Their active abilities usually involve a self-heal, a massive temporary shield, or a devastating close-range area attack.

Once a fully supported bruiser connects with the enemy tower, the game is usually over in a matter of seconds.

• The 'Golden Knight' archetype excels at dashing through swarms.
• Charge their soul-meter before activating.
• Always know what counter your opponent is holding.

Utility and Sniper Heroes

For players who prefer a more calculated, control-oriented playstyle, the ranged support hero is the ideal choice.
