Frost & Flame: King of Avalon – Combat Heroes Guide

Quick Guide to Combat Heroes

By Arawila Frostguard.

New combat heroes: Starting from update 16.3.0, new types of heroes were released, starting with Maledisant and Sir Marrok. A Combat Hero tab was also added in the Hero Roster. You can now switch between the Appointed Hero tab and Combat Hero tab.

Combat heroes have mostly march skills, along with 6 combat support skills. All skills can be used in marches or garrisons. Deploying Combat Heroes won’t trigger Resonance and they won’t be part of the appointed council, so will remain in this separate category.

Heroes Pact

Update 16.7.0 introduced a Heros pact system which includes benefits depending on which heroes you have unlocked, and their star level;

This is similar to how the heroes pact system works for your appointed heroes. Below shows the benefit from having unlocked Maledisant, and Sir Marrok.

Note: Only Call of the Moon has been unlocked, Wrath of the Night, would get unlocked when the star level of both heroes reaches 2 stars.

You can see the requirements by going to the Combat Hero screen, and in the bottom right clicking on Constraint.

Note: Since update 16.7, along with the new combat heroes came a new “combat hero score”  which you can view by tapping your avatar and going through ‘more info’ and scrolling down. This new score only counts the highest scores of your combat heroes and not the  overall power they add.
