If you have suggestions, they&#8217;re welcome.<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: Choose your theme. Select what type of army you want. Just no Dund or Deathwalker armies. For help, you can glance at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heroscapers.com\/community\/showthread.php?t=6171\" target=\"_blank\">these<\/a> power rankings, which show which themes don&#8217;t quite work out comptetively.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Add in some squads. You&#8217;ll want at least 3x, even 5x for some of the better squads in your army, to provide the main force, and what does the heavy lifting.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Support. Add in support heroes that enhance your army. For example, Venoc Warlord in a viper army, or Mogrimm and Migol in a Dwarf army. To help find synergies, you can check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heroscapers.com\/community\/showthread.php?t=8390\" target=\"_blank\">these<\/a> charts.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Add in all-around support. If you have the space, Raelin always works nicely, although not as much in Viper or other fast armies.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Fill in the remaining points. Marcu and Isamu work well for these, and the Marro Warriors make for good clean-up. (Just remember, don&#8217;t clone too much.)<\/p>\n<p>Of course, for the army to be good, you have to know what&#8217;s good. For example, 3 squads of Marro Calvary and Me-Burq-Sa for 440 points isn&#8217;t going to exactly win you any tournaments. However, this might be a good example of what works in creating an army:<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: Chooses Orc theme, with the new D3 orcs.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Chooses 4x Death Chasers.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Chooses bonding heroes MBS, Nerak, and the Ogre Pulverizer.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Adds in Raelin.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: No remaining points.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion: DCoT x4 \/ MBS \/ Nerak \/ OP \/ Raelin for 500 points. Not the best in the planet, but not bad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Other advice:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Rats work great with any and all range. This even goes for the Hydra, who can reach across their screen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Have fun. It&#8217;s just a game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Test out your armies. Even if it&#8217;s just against yourself, it can help perfect strategies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m out of ideas for my small guide.
