1. The Knight: The Unkillable Tank
If you have just started playing and need a forgiving first unlock, the Knight is the safer choice. His innate passive provides a large defensive buffer, giving a new account more room to learn enemy patterns before investing in a faster or more specialized hero.
Pros
- Extremely high error tolerance.
- Saves money on defensive upgrades in-game.
Cons
- Low base movement speed.
- Struggles with high-DPS bosses late game if under-geared.
Best Weapon Synergy: Steel Sword or Shotgun.

Once you master the art of "kiting" (running in circles while grouping enemies), Miyu becomes the better unlock when movement and focused damage are the account's real goals. Her high mobility supports manual dodging and kiting, while her critical hit potential rewards players who can protect a fragile build through late-game waves.
Pros
- Fast mobility makes dodging easy.
- Highest single-target DPS potential.
Cons
- Extremely fragile; one mistake equals death.
- Expensive to unlock for fresh accounts.
Best Weapon Synergy: Crossbow and Throwing Knife.

If your main problem is crowded waves and you enjoy screen-wide elemental coverage, Balencio is the area-control unlock to consider. His AoE and elemental direction is most valuable when magical weapons can turn that extra coverage into safer lanes and more reliable group clear.
Pros
- Incredible crowd control (CC) capabilities.
- Scales magically with area-expanding upgrades.
Cons
- Weak early game until you acquire elemental weapons.
- Struggles if cornered by fast enemies.
Best Weapon Synergy: Magic Staff or Holy Book and Fire Wand.

Should I upgrade stats or buy a new hero first?
Always prioritize upgrading your permanent stats (in the "Upgrades" menu) before saving up for an expensive hero. Maxing out your Movement Speed, base Damage, and Gold Find multiplier will provide a much more massive power spike than unlocking Miyu at level 1.
Are premium/expensive heroes always better?
Not necessarily. While late-game heroes have flashier abilities, standard heroes like the Knight often have simpler, more consistent defensive stats that ensure you can reliably clear wave 15 without relying strictly on good RNG drops.
