✅ Check the skill before switching heroes

A larger percentage can apply to a narrower part of the fight. For example, Rin's Shooter Damage Dealt bonus and Worrell's Basic Attack Damage bonus both show +25% in this reference. They cover different things. Check your troops and damage sources before comparing them.

For mitigation, check the timing as well as the value. Zoltan protects on every fourth turn in this reference. Marcus reduces incoming basic attack damage on even-numbered rounds. Compare which one covers the hits your formation needs to survive.

Swap one hero at a time and compare similar battle reports. Use the hero formation guide to plan the rest of the lineup.
