List of Heroes By Where/Who They Target - Know Your Front, Center and Backlines!


 Sometimes in Hero Wars it can be helpful to know where each hero hits the enemy team. Is it the front, center or backline? Or do they target a specific type of hero? Why does it matter? Let's explore! 

Lets look at Dorian! "Fountain of Blood. Casts a blood mark on the nearest rival for 7 seconds. Allies recover health whenever they attack a marked enemy."

So for this example, we need to know what heroes are most likely to hit the nearest, or all enemies with their skills. 

Then, we consider that he provides increased Vampirism to the heroes nearest to him, and in the backline. "Initiation. Increases vampirism of nearby allies. %". To accommodate this then, we should attempt to include at least 2, or even 3, characters that play in the backline. Elmir is great because he can warrior up in the frontline for a while, then jumps in the backline and gains healing from while he's there! 

Which other characters should we include in a team formed around Dorian as the healer? 


Hopefully, this will be as helpful to you as it has been for me. 

Only heroes that specify who, what or where their target/damage is applied are listed here.
