Understanding Hero Layouts
Hero layouts are the foundation of success in Idle Hero TD. The right combination of heroes can dramatically increase your farming efficiency, pushing power, and resource generation. This comprehensive guide helps you find optimal team compositions for every stage of progression.
Layout Categories Explained:
Layouts optimized for maximum XP gain per wave. These teams focus on heroes with XP synergies. Use these for leveling heroes quickly.
Specialized layouts for training dummies where you want to maximize XP gain from tags without necessarily killing enemies. These prioritize skill-based tag bonuses over XP gain.
High-damage compositions designed to help you progress through difficult waves and reach new milestones. These teams maximize DPS.
Layouts that optimize gold generation through hero abilities that increase gold from kills. These are often used to boost the rewards from gem packs.
Teams focused on maximizing energy gain from waves. Essential for players who want to accelerate their energy-based upgrade progression.
