Position is the core tactical layer of combat. The right rank lets every skill work and keeps fragile heroes safe.
Why this matters
A hero in the wrong rank cannot use half their skills. Position mistakes lose fights that look fine on paper.
Step-by-step
- Put high-health heroes in ranks one and two.
- Put healers and casters in ranks three and four.
- Match each hero’s skills to their starting rank.
- Reposition to answer what the enemy does.
- Keep back-rank threats in reach of your damage.
- Move heroes out of attacks that target their rank.
- Rebalance ranks after a hero is stunned or moved.
Tips
- Front line tanks, back line casts
- Every skill has a rank range — check it
- Repositioning is a free action in many kits
- Watch enemies that shuffle your ranks
Common mistakes
- Healers in the front ranks
- Melee heroes stuck in the back
- Ignoring enemy repositioning skills
- Never adjusting ranks mid-fight
Practical notes
Place your healer and ranged heroes in the back, and your tank and melee in the front. Rank mistakes waste attacks. Move heroes with reposition skills to answer pulls. A correct rank answers every enemy. Pull a front hero back if the enemy hits rank two.
Move heroes with reposition skills to answer enemy pulls that drag your back line forward. Guard the hero an enemy targets and stun the one that reaches rank two. A correct rank answers every enemy attack and prevents the whiffs that lose fights.
