Hero's skills: Which ones are present in the game? How do they work?.

Leveling your warlord unlocks plenty of useful skills, which can help win tough battles.

There are two types of skills in the game:

  1. Passive skills are enabled at all times, providing bonuses to the warlord and/or the following army, as long as the warlord is alive.
  2. Active skills can be picked before the battle (up to 2 active skills at a time).

You can specialize your warlord in one of the three branches: Strength, Dexterity and Magic.

Each newly unlocked level grants 4 skill points that can be invested in one of these branches. These points grant their own bonuses respective to the branch, but also have tiers — reaching these allows you to unlock a skill.

If you want to change your warlord build, you can reset your skills with a consumable that can be found in the in-game store, event rewards and more.
