Hero position on Offense

[HarcosBarnatovic]

Does hero position when on offense mean anything?

It seems the AI on Defense attacks randomly which would indicate hero position on offense is meaningless. Wondering if I’m wondering if there is any data on this.

Theres a few things. If you can help it you want to not have 2 of same colour beside each other to avoid both getting strong damage from a multi hit.

Heroes on wings get hit less overall from those who hit target and nearby.

Against GM Kingston in middle means only ever 2 getting burned.

0against Jabberwock might want sturdier heroes in wings.

Most of it is situational.

Don’t put heroes on wing, that provide sth to themselves and nearby.

From another thread; my thoughts:

@Guvnor

Positioning in offence doesn’t matter much unless the hero is “Caster & nearby”

The exception to this is obviously when you have an ememy hero who does “extra damage against” (e.g. Gravemaker you would want to split your greens up to decrease the chances) or has specific targets (e.g. against jabberwock you would want your tankiest heroes on the wings)

Also an older thread which is (now) closed but may be worth reading:

Does hero order really matter in a raid?

I see people mentioning the order they place their hero’s in during raiding. Does this even matter since you don’t have to worry about tiles? Yes, you can take into consideration going against someone that does damage/effects the target and nearby allies but don’t see any other point.

A lot of great points already made here… just adding that if you run double heals, it’s good to split them up.
