How to Choose a Leader and Assistant
For the assistant thing I think it’s better to have the concept generally of why a hero is a good assistant vs leader rather than an exhaustive list.
A lot of times it’s preference and most heroes can do both.
The criteria for good leaders is more strict imo, assistants can almost be anyone.
The “rules” for me are:
Good leaders
- Have a good talent tree.
- Boost the stats of your squad, or debuff the enemy target with their rage skill.
Good assistants
- High rage skill damage when paired with a debuff leader.
- Bad talent tree options.
Examples
- Riven is a much better assistant because her talent trees are inferior to Garrison and skill infantry heroes.
- Alexander is a good assistant and ONLY assistant in pvp because he has 0 talent tree option for combat.
- Lee and Robert better leaders because they reduce the defensive stats of the target, letting your assistant rage skill do even more damage.
Aoe heroes I usually prefer as assistants for this reason- a leader buffs their attack, or debuffs the enemies, and the aoe is even more effective then as a follow up.
Bonus thoughts
There’s also characters that people say they will always focus if they see them in the field. Bianca would be an example as someone probably better / safer / slighty longer TTL as assistant.
Hiding a good hero as assistant can be effective in brawls for sure that’s a good point too.
