Build around one dependable frontline and one damage unit, then add support only when your capacity and owned roster allow it. These are community-guided combinations, not guaranteed wave clears.
Early: Bone Guard + Skeleton Archer. Mid: Mighty Orc (Bone Guard fallback) + Lava Imp or Skeleton Archer. Late: Mighty Orc + Hellfire Warlock, with Deathlock support if available. Endgame: Skull King + Demon Lord, with Doomfist as a bruiser alternative and Deathlock support.
Bone Guard and Skeleton Archer form the clearest reported early pair: a frontline to absorb pressure and a ranged unit to keep damage flowing. If you only own starter units, keep role coverage instead of chasing rarity alone.
For midgame, community guides point toward Mighty Orc as a longer-term frontline. Lava Imp adds reported burn damage, while Skeleton Archer remains a practical fallback when upgrades are already invested.
Hellfire Warlock is the reported late-progression AoE bridge beside Mighty Orc. Deathlock can add utility, but do not remove the only tank or damage slot merely to force support into a small team.
Endgame reporting favors Skull King for pure tanking and Demon Lord for ranged AoE damage. Doomfist is a bruiser alternative when sustain damage fits better than a pure backline slot.
The strongest target is not automatically the best current investment. Keep an upgraded Bone Guard if the alternative is an unbuilt tank, and use Lava Imp while working toward later damage units.
Update 3 advertises battle and balance improvements without a complete public stat table. Recheck results in your own roster and use the team planner to separate owned choices from future targets.
Are these results guaranteed?
No. Use the current in-game screen for availability, costs, and outcomes.
Why are some numbers missing?
A value is omitted when the current public information does not establish it reliably.
What should I check after an update?
Recheck unit behavior, requirements, rewards, and any changed menu text before spending.
Where should I go next?
Use the linked planner, unit list, codes page, or official-link status that matches your next decision.
