League Heroes

League is the game’s balanced faction, blending strong frontline tanks with powerful backline damage and support. The faction’s meta revolves around Paragon as the core DPS anchor, with a versatile legendary roster that stays relevant long into the mythic era. League excels at sustained teamfight presence and buff stacking.

League counters Nature, while Nature counters Horde. If Horde is your main queue, League makes an excellent second queue to handle the Nature teams that threaten you.

Hero Upgrade Priority

Level and invest in these heroes in order. Earlier heroes take priority for XP books, ascension materials, and skill upgrades.

Upgrade Order

1 Rose Princess

2 Paragon

3 Adjudicator

4 Nun

5 AArtificer

6 Bard

7 Bishop

8 Pyromancer

9 Astrologer

10 Secret Keeper

Rose Princess is the top trade and level priority — she anchors the frontline and her UW20 is a meta-defining power spike. Paragon follows as League’s DPS engine, with his ultimate capable of nuking entire teams. Adjudicator is third for the shields that keep the team alive. Nun comes next for healing sustain, then Artificer for debuffs and cooldown reduction, and Bard last among the core six. Bishop remains a strong situational pick against summoner-heavy compositions but has fallen out of the standard meta lineup.

Team Recommendations

Growing Team (Legendary Start)

Use this team before mythics arrive. Transition heroes out as mythics unlock.

Mid BardPyromancer

Back NunAstrologer

Replace Secret Keeper → Rose Princess (Season 1), Astrologer → Paragon (pre-season). Bard slot becomes flexible as mythics fill in.

Meta Endgame Team

The current whale meta across most servers. This lineup provides one bond (15% damage increase) plus the full faction aura.

Hero order in the lineup matters. Almost everyone runs Fury of Blood for HP to survive Horde burst — only Paragon and Artificer use Glory of the Knight for skill amplification.

Mythic Release Timeline

League’s mythic releases are more spread out than Horde’s, with Paragon arriving early but the full roster taking until Season 3.

Season	Hero	Replaces
Pre-season	Paragon	Astrologer (flex slot)
Season 1	Rose Princess	Secret Keeper
Season 2	Bishop	Flexible slot
Season 3	Artificer	Flexible slot

The League legendary roster stays relevant longer than Horde’s — Adjudicator, Nun, Pyromancer, and Bard all see endgame play even after all mythics are available.

Awakening Priority

League doesn’t field a full mythic team, so awakening legendaries is essential.

Awakening Order

1 Adjudicator

2 Nun

3 Bard

1. Adjudicator — Top priority. Guardian Discipline and Shield of Faith scale tremendously with awakening, making him an even more dominant frontline anchor.

2. Nun — Second priority. Her healing and team survivability buffs improve meaningfully with awakening tiers.

3. Bard — Third priority. Supports the team with buffs that scale with awakening investment.

Gear Recommendations

League’s gear philosophy is simple: stack HP to survive Horde burst. Most heroes run Fury of Blood. Only your damage dealers use Glory of the Knight for skill amplification.

Hero	Gear Set	Notes
Adjudicator	Fury of Blood	Shield of Faith and Guardian Discipline synergy — needs to stay alive
Rose Princess	Fury of Blood	Core tank sustain; needs the HP to anchor the frontline
Bard	Fury of Blood	Survivability keeps buffs active longer
Paragon	Glory of the Knight	Skill amplification for his team-nuking ultimate — League’s main damage source
Artificer	Glory of the Knight	Cooldown reduction and debuff amplification
Nun	Fury of Blood	Must survive to keep healing — HP is the priority
Bishop	Libram of Light	Divine Light marks reduce defense, stackable 10x (if running Bishop)
Pyromancer	Glory of the Knight	Dragon Breath gear skill + team Attack bonus (if running Pyromancer)
Astrologer	Titan’s Might	Pure crit and Attack scaling (if running Astrologer)

Unique Weapon Priority

Use 5 chests to unlock all UWs to +1 first (5 box required for every UW), then invest deeper in this order:

UW Upgrade Order

1 Paragon

2 Rose Princess

3 Adjudicator

4 Bishop

5 Nun

6 Pyromancer

7 Astrologer

8 AArtificer

9 Bard

Paragon’s Everlasting Justice is the single highest priority — it defines League’s DPS output. Rose Princess UW20 is a game-changer that shifted the entire meta. Bishop UW10 and UW20 are both significant power spikes worth rushing.

Trait Priority

Frontline heroes benefit the most from traits, making them much tougher to kill.

Priority	Trait	Best For
1	Crit Resistance	Frontline survivability against crit-heavy opponents
2	Block	Damage mitigation for tanks
3	HP Drain	Sustain for mid and back row
4	Heal Rate	Amplifying Nun’s healing output
5	Boost Construction	Castle progression acceleration
6	Skill Damage	Backline DPS amplification

Prioritize Crit Resistance and Block on Adjudicator and Rose Princess first, then HP Drain on your mid-row carries.

Skins

Focus on skins that provide hero HP, crit resistance, and shield values — League needs survivability above all else.

Hero	Recommended Skin	Notes
Adjudicator	Multiple options	Look for crit resistance or shield value bonuses
Nun	Wisdom Goddess (crit damage reduction) or Shining Elegance (shield value + crit resistance)	Both are strong — pick based on what your team lacks

For your queue skin, use Mayflower — the League-specific skin that also provides PvP march speed in Season 3.

For your troop skin, Heavy Cavalry is preferred for the PvP march speed bonus. If you don’t care about open-world PvP, Knights provide a morale boost useful in all other game modes. Free-to-play players can upgrade Cavalry for a budget PvP march speed option.

Castle Skins

Divine Steed Castle is S-tier for League — the 15% crit rate bonus is huge for Paragon’s ultimate damage, and the skill buffs you and guild members within a three-tile range. Mountain Prime is purely defensive and not recommended.

Pets & Relics

Eggy is the primary League pet — she boosts all League hero attack and HP percentage and is the easiest pet to obtain even as a free-to-play player, since Eggy drops frequently.

Relics

Paying players: Run the League faction relic set — Petrification Staff (available around Season 1), Soul Guard Orb (Season 3), and Feather of the Pact (Season 3). The set bonuses are significant.

Free-to-play players: Use this combination:

• Marshall’s Warhorn — unlocked very early, easiest epic to level. Increases hero attack speed by 10% and provides soldier attack bonuses that scale with level
• Duke’s Signet Ring — provides crit damage reduction and lowers enemy crit resistance
• Moonstone — CC with knockup, decreases enemy damage, and provides some healing

Behemoths

League has two faction-specific guardian behemoths:

Behemoth	Type	Skill
Vampire (Ema)	Offensive	League-specific hero bonuses and burst damage
Frenzy Blade Almond	Alternative	Secondary option based on server release order

Vampire is the recommended choice — League needs the extra attack to break down opposing teams. The burst damage helps prevent enemy healing and lets your ultimates finish them off. Focus on one behemoth until you unlock rank suppression, then go back and star up the other.

Strategy Notes

• HP is the League identity: Almost every hero runs Fury of Blood because surviving Horde’s burst damage is the single most important factor. Only Paragon and Artificer break this rule for skill amplification.

• Paragon gear transition: Paragon performs better with Knight Glory gear until UW20, where Titan’s Might becomes superior thanks to improved cast time. Plan your gear swap around this milestone.

• Rose Princess UW20 impact: Rose Princess UW20 changed the whole game dynamic, making her one of the strongest tanks in the game and forcing Nature to adjust their hero choices to counter. This is why she’s the top trade priority.

• Divine Steed crit synergy: The Divine Steed Castle skin’s 15% crit rate bonus synergizes perfectly with Paragon’s ultimate, enabling massive nuke potential. Prioritize this castle skin if you main League.

• Bishop as situational pick: Bishop has fallen out of the standard meta lineup (replaced by the Adjudicator/Rose Princess/Bard/Paragon/Artificer/Nun core), but remains essential against Nature’s summoner-heavy compositions. His Fair Strike deals +200% to summons and Confession applies Vulnerable.

• Faction counter awareness: League beats Nature, Nature beats Horde. If Horde is your main queue, League is the ideal second queue to handle Nature opponents that threaten your primary lineup.

• PvP march speed: Run Heavy Cavalry troop skin for the PvP march speed bonus, same as Horde. Being able to attack and return to defend your castle before opponents arrive is a huge open-world PvP advantage.
