guide Refine skills for specific heroes

LordCaoCao

There are three kind of heroes:

High Lead,
High Force
and Balanced.

Heroes with High lead (Pang De, Huang Zhoung) Are great at dealing skill damage. I would recommend the #1 skill they should have is Trick (increase skill damage) The other skills if you cannot land trick, I like troops/attack/defense

Heroes with High force (Zhang He, Wei Yan, Wen Chou) Generally dont do as much damage with their skills, but their troop attack and defense is awesome. I prefer to give them attack/troops and defense

Balanced heroes like Cao Ren and Yiang Liang are a little of both. You can go either way with them, however i would not recommend it as they are usually over powered by either one.

Everyone has different preferences. Some like to give Zhang he lots of Trick so that he can do more damage to 4 rows, I am not a big fan of this strategy because he is blocked often.

I always Use De for skills and the others for attack and troops until I get Huang Zhong who become my second skilled officer.

Later in the game you will most likely want 3 officers just for skill attacks as you will depend on those more and more as you raise and level (you have armaments that will cover for your lack of skills there)

Once you have some higher level armamanets (level 40+ or so)

it will boost your attack, defence, and troops rather high. So it would make sense to concentrate soley on skill attack. In addition most purple officers skills hit for 3-4 rows
