1. Overview: Call of Dragons Hero System

Call of Dragons is Funtap's fantasy strategy hit that blends classic 4X governance with real-time tactical battles. Heroes in this game are absolutely crucial โ€” they lead your armies, unlock powerful skills, and define your march performance. Unlike some other strategy games, heroes in CoD are not just skill bots โ€” they have armies, talent trees, and artifacts that can drastically alter your combat outcomes.

The hero system is designed to reward both time investment and strategic choices. For the Indian market, the popularity of Call of Dragons has exploded in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Pune โ€” with dedicated player communities sharing knowledge on Call Of Dragons Discord servers. This guide aggregates insights from top Indian players and global veterans.

As a part of the official Call Of Dragons Funtap ecosystem, the hero roster is continuously updated with seasonal heroes, event-limited releases, and balance patches. Staying ahead of the meta requires regular review โ€” which is why we also maintain a Call Of Dragons Guide Update page you should bookmark.

2. Hero Rarity and Roles Explained

Every hero in Call of Dragons falls into one of three rarity tiers, each with distinct stat ceilings and skill power levels. Understanding rarity is your first step toward building a unkillable roster.

Legendary Heroes โญโญโญโญโญ

Legendary heroes are endgame powerhouses. They typically feature 5 active skills and a massive talent tree. These heroes are grown through elite summons, special events, and some are even obtainable through F2P grinding over several seasons. Examples include Knight of Ashes, Natheal the Nightbringer, and Hosk the Unyielding.

Epic Heroes โญโญโญโญ

Epic heroes serve as the backbone of mid-game armies. They feature 4 skills and respectable base stats. Many serve as excellent secondary commanders in hero pairing. Epic heroes are much easier to max out, making them reliable for F2P players. Legends like Guenivere and Jin the Brave are top picks in this bracket.

Elite Heroes โญโญโญ

Elite heroes are the starting cast โ€” they help you learn the mechanics and are extremely easy to star up. While they fall off late-game, certain elites like Rowen remain useful for their cheap March Speed bonuses and PvE longevity.

๐Ÿ’ก Desi Gyan (Pro Tip): Do not ignore your epic heroes in the early game. A maxed epic hero can out-perform a 3-star legendary in specific pairings. In our India server, many players rushed to legendary heroes and got crushed in KvK because their talent trees were incomplete!

3. Call Of Dragons Hero Tier List โ€” Season 1

This tier list is freshly updated for the current meta, based on observations from top Indian alliances and international tournaments. For the complete ranking including every hero, check our Call Of Dragons Hero Tier List Season 1 page.

Tier Hero Class Role F2P Friendliness
S+ Natheal the Nightbringer Mage Mass AoE Damage Medium
S+ Hosk the Unyielding Infantry Tank / Counter Medium
S Knight of Ashes Cavalry Mobile Burst Hard
S Guenivere Archer Backline Sniper High
A Jin the Brave Infantry Balanced Support Very High
A Rowen Archer Crowd Control Very High
B Vex the Shadow Mage Single-target Nuke Medium
C Old Yhor Cavalry Scout / March Speed Very High

The current Season 1 meta heavily favours Mage + Infantry hybrid compositions, especially in large-scale alliance battles where AoE skills dominate the damage charts. If you haven't read our Call Of Dragons Gameplay Review, I highly recommend it โ€” it explains many of the mechanics that impact hero performance.

4. Hero Classes & Troop Types

Each hero belongs to one of four broad classes, which correspond to a troop type. The class defines which units they lead and which stats matter most.

Infantry Heroes (โš”๏ธ)

Perfect frontliners with high Defence & Health. They excel in absorbing damage and holding choke points.

Cavalry Heroes (๐ŸŽ)

High Attack & Mobility. Cavalry heroes are diving backlines and clearing undefended tiles with ease.

Archer Heroes (๐Ÿน)

Long-range specialists with high Critical. Archers are fragile but devastating from the back row.

Mage Heroes (๐Ÿ”ฎ)

Magic damage dealers with enormous AoE potential. Mages counter Infantry but are weak to Cavalry.

Counter System Simplified ๐Ÿชจ๐Ÿ“„โœ‚๏ธ

Pay attention to the counter wheel in Call of Dragons: Mage counter Infantry, Infantry counter Cavalry, Cavalry counter Archer, and Archer counter Mage โ€” wait, actually the game implements a triangle: Cavalry > Archer > Mage > Infantry > Cavalry. Master the wheel and you'll have a foundation to evaluate any hero.

5. Hero Leveling and Progression

Level Up Basics

Your hero earns Experience Points (EXP) through PvE kills, barbarian forts, and daily tasks. Each hero level increases base stats and unlocks Talent Points. A Level-40 hero can unlock more than 30 Talent Points, which is when the real customisation begins.

Skill Upgrades

Each star upgrade gives access to a new skill slot. Skill scrolls are scarce โ€” especially Gold Skill Scrolls for legendary heroes. Prioritise upgrading the first skill of your main hero first, as it's almost always the most impactful.

Talent Trees

Every hero has three talent branches: War, Conquest, and Strategist. The real meta is in how you distribute this. For example, a PvP-focused infantry hero like Hosk hugely benefits from War-tree damage reduction talents, whereas a fast-moving cavalry hero should invest in Conquest for march speed.

Efficient Farming Logic (Indian Players Take Note)

From the massive Call Of Dragons Funtap N P community, we learned an important trick: do not spread your EXP scrolls across five heroes. Focus on one S-tier hero as your primary Farmer/Warrior, then second hero gets 60% of primary's EXP. The rest hold levels as low as possible until endgame.

6. Hero Equipment and Artifacts

Equipping the right items is as vital as leveling. Every hero has 6 equipment slots: Weapon, Helmet, Armor, Gloves, Boots, and Amulet.

Weapon Types

Weapons are class-locked. An infantry hero uses Sword & Shield, cavalry uses Lance, archers use Longbow, and mages use an Orb. Crafting materials are obtained from legendary beast hunts and Silver Forge events.

Artifact Awakening

At max level, you can equip an Artifact โ€” a special item that provides a unique active skill and substantial stat boosts. In the latest patch, artifacts play a major role in countering certain meta heroes.

Armor and Resistance

Don't just stack HP on everyone. Against mage-heavy lineups (which are common in the server), equipping Magic Resistance accessories drastically affects survival.

7. Hero Pairing Strategies

In Call of Dragons, you can field two heroes per march. The primary hero provides the march skill and talent tree; the secondary provides their own skills at reduced efficiency. Pairing is where true strategy lies.

Best Meta Combos (July 2025)

Natheal + Hosk (Mage/Infantry)

This combo is dominating the meta. Natheal AoE melts grouped enemies, while Hosk's durability keeps the march healthy. Tanky frontline doing 300%+ damage.

Guenivere + Rowen (Archer/Archer)

Ideal for PvE and shield breaking. Both fire crit boosts and range enchancement. F2P-friendly because both are obtainable without heavy spending.

Knight of Ashes + Jin (Cavalry/Infantry)

Speed + sustain. Knight runs in, Jin buffs defence. Enemy backlines hate this pair.

Counter Pairings

Facing an Archer-heavy alliance? Send Cavalry(s). Archer, as per the counter wheel, will panic when your cavalry heroes close the gap. It's rock-paper-scissors in real time.

8. Hero Events & Recruitment

How do you actually get these heroes? Through Hero Summoning (gacha style). Call of Dragons runs a staple schedule of Hero Event Summons, where a special hero has a boosted drop chance for about 2 weeks.

There are also exclusive faction leaders from events. The schedule often correlates with global updates. For past freebies and redeemables, visit our list of Call Of Dragons Codes 2024.

Using personal promo codes is a common way to get small but nice boosts. Check fresh codes at Call Of Dragons Promo Code August 2025 page to get some free gems & scrolls.

9. Hero Guide for Beginners โ€” India Edition ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ

Start your adventure the smart way. This section is customised for the Indian player's journey, including time zone scheduling, ping impacts, and low-cost spending logic.

Starting Heroes

Your first heroes are Myra (Infantry), Orwen (Cavalry), and Tharr (Archer). They are all Elite-tier. For the early game (Level 1-30), any hero works. Focus on maxing Myra for fighting ability, as you'll naturally spend more time in infantry marches.

Spending Guide for Casual & Small Spenders

Not everyone can whale, and that's totally okay. For players who want to spend just a bit: buy the Monthly Pass and the Hero Development Bundle. These give steady gems and golden skill scrolls. Avoid random summon impulses โ€” trust the pity system and only summon during Hero Event Summons.

For the complete novice walkthrough โ€” from building your first city to your first KvK fight โ€” don't miss our Call Of Dragons Guide For Beginners. It covers everything not found in the game's official tutorials.

10. Advanced Hero Tactics & Formations

March Formations

You should think of your march as a triangle. In Horde formation, all the troops take a flat line โ€” it spreads damage across your units. In Vanguard, your tankiest units take the front, allowing your Archer and Mage heroes to pour damage from safety.

Skill Rotation & Timing

In pvp fights, manually stagger your heroes skills for maximum value. Don't unleash all active skills at once, or the enemy will dodge and purge. Instead, wait until enemy formations clump, then use a stun to lock them down before you unleash the devastating AoE from your Mage hero.

Movement Speed Optimization

A hero with full mobility tactical boots can catch a slower enemy even if they are hiding behind their territory. Cavalry heroes are the fastest; when you reach the talent Ride Like the Wind, march speed in enemy territory increases a further 15%.

Playing from a Mobile Network (6G/5G Tips)

For Indian players on mobile, latency can cause micro-stutters during large rallies. We recommend: closing background apps, switching to a 5GHz Wi-Fi/6G setup, and manually lowering graphics settings in battle. Some players in our Discord server love the Call Of Dragons Mod page โ€” though we advise being careful with unofficial mods. The official Call Of Dragons Pc Download version offers smoother performance for heavy PvP battles.

11. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which hero is the best in Call of Dragons Season 1?

Natheal the Nightbringer is currently the S+ tier Mage, especially in AoE scenarios. For pure infantry anchors, Hosk the Unyielding wins the meta. Check our season 1 tier list.

Can I get legendary heroes as a free-to-play player?

Yes, absolutely. F2P players can obtain legendary heroes through luck on free summons, daily shard accumulations, and special holiday events. Patience is the true requirement. Many F2P players in our Indian servers own at least one maxed S-tier legendary after 6 months.

What is the fastest way to level up heroes?

Farm elite Beasts using huge rallies. Beasts yield high EXP scrolls and upgrade materials. Always use a full rally of 5 players with strategic hero pairs. Don't forget your daily Training events โ€” they give bonus EXP potions.

Is the hero pairing of Natheal + Hosk still good after the last balance patch?

Despite the 5% damage nerf to Natheal's ult in the last patch, the pair remains top-tier. Players who built the right talent tree damage reductions still find great synergy. For team fights, the combination is unbeatable โ€” just watch out for cavalry-heavy counter marches.

12. Community Hero Discussions & Player Insights

We recently interviewed ShadowKing_HYD from the Hyderabad alliance "Deccan Dragons", one of the top Indian streamers in the game. I asked him what's unique about the Indian meta. He said:

"Indian players tend to be very aggressive in the early game. We form alliances earlier and do 20-player teamfights in Ruins. This means we pick heroes that are good in skirmishes, not just giant rallies. Guenivere and Rowen are super popular because they let you do quick baron burns and rotate faster."

Join your fellow players on the Call Of Dragons Discord Server Link Official page โ€” you'll find tons of veteran players willing to answer your questions in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and English.

For any issues with the game itself, such as login errors or bug reports, go through Call Of Dragons Discord-linked support channels for faster resolution.
