Tanks, Flanks & Sides

[Montyville]

I have read much on here about Tanks, Flanks and Sides and find it fascinating, but I really have no idea which of my heroes are best as tanks, flanks or sides.

My maxed 4* heroes are:

Red - Wilbur/Kelile
Blue - Grimm/Kiril
Green - Melandor
Purple - Proteus

I have a large number of other 4/5* heroes, which are yet to be maxed

Red - Gormek 3/60, Scarkett 3/60, Colen 3/60, Sumitomo 3/60
Blue - Perseus 2/60, Magni 2/60, Sonya 3/60,
Green - Kingston 3/54, Skittleskull 3/60, Margaret 2/60, Caedemon 3/60
Purple - Seshat 3/70, Cyprian 3/60, Rigard 3/60
Yellow - Poseiden 3/70, Ranvir 2/60, Wu Kong 3/60, Leonidas 2/60, Chao 3/60

I would be very grateful if you could help me identify the best tanks, flanks and sides in my available heroes. I tend to use Grimm or Poseiden as tanks, and always put Melandor or Kiril on a side, but I really dont know which is best suited to different positions. Grateful for any views…

Here’s something I wrote up previously about the positioning:

Where to place your hero’s. How goes that work best?

Understanding the terms Essentially when we talk positions there are three roles. Tank Flank Wing In each team there is 1 tank (the center hero). The two positions on ether side of the tank are flanks (cause they flank the tank) and the ones on the very edges are wings. One thing that is the general consensus is that you put average heroes closer to the tank and fast ones further out… Reason being that the tank protects the flanks and the flanks protect the wings. When the tank is alive, th…

For you i might lean towards:
Kingston, Wilbur, Kiril, Seshat, Posiedon

• Kingston, Seshat & Poseidon are all great damage outputters. All fast snipers. Obviously would be better if they were 4/80 but workable at 3/70 considering the options.
• Kiril is probably the most “tanky” of the heroes you have maxed/ ascended to 3 or 4-70. I’d give him some emblems too to make him better!
• Wilbur is a great support hero. Can be swapped with Kelile if you want another damager on the defence squad.

These are positioning guides I have created:

4* heroes positioning guide

This is a guide on where each 4* hero belongs on defence. I created it based on my 2 years and 6 months experience in the game. (Here is the 5* heroes guide: 5* heroes positioning guide) 5 things to consider: specials fire from left to right the tank must be a very sturdy hero (or a hero who can destroy the opponents if they fire) no 4* healer belongs to the corner, until they are charged up, there will be no one to heal since the others will be already dead no 4* slow hero belongs to the c…

I wouldn’t use a 3-70 Poseidon as a tank, he’s not ready for that.
Grimm could be a tank, but Kiril as @Guvnor mentioned, (and even Wilbur) are better at that position.
