Hero tier list

The Alliance tier list by Eduba, from Les Semi-Croustillants. A tier list is only a general guide: for your own account, the heroes you've already built matter most.

Team comps

No bare lists of names here: each team explains what every hero does, what the team needs to run well, and what makes it fall apart. If you're just starting out, begin with the first one: the first two are starter teams that last all the way to endgame, the rest are specialist comps.

F2P Roadmap

A clear roadmap for players who don't spend: what to level, in what order, and where not to waste resources.

Coming soon
The roadmap is being written

A bad progression plan costs months of play. This one will be written with Le Bastion's players, not rushed. In the meantime, the comps and the titan guide have already been reviewed.

Titans

Titans progress alongside your heroes, never with their resources. And everything, absolutely everything, comes down to the elemental cycle.

Elemental counters

Water drowns Fire, Fire burns Earth, Earth absorbs Water. Light and Dark cancel each other out and dominate the other three. Note: the advantage comes from artifacts and skins.

Titans in Guild War

In war, teams are named with a code: the number is how many titans, the letter is the element. Learn them: it's how everyone talks in guild channels.

What to build

To hit enemy titans, build just one team, either 5E or 5L, then 4D + Araji as your second. These are the three most versatile attack comps, and they cover almost everything you'll run into.

On defense, the most common teams you'll face are: 5E, 5L, 4D + Araji, 4L + Alecto and 4F + Alecto.

The classic trap

Burning through everything in the first week to get as deep as possible. The Dungeon remembers: it tracks every win, room by room and element by element. After six months, the player who patiently did their 150 titanite a day is way ahead of the one who rushed and now loses their titans by the third room.

Metida, heart of the elements

The new Elarite supertitan doesn't play for herself: she shuts down the enemy middle and buffs her allies, whatever their element. The result: she fits in anywhere, and elemental teams finally have a way to take down Light and Dark.

Zazelo
Upgrade tips by Zazelo, from Les Semi-Croustillants, teams tested by UnikKatil.
{{ k.name }}
{{ k.body }}

All four teams below have beaten Light and Dark on attack. On defense it's less clear-cut: some hold up against specific teams, none holds every time. Metida is an attack titan first and foremost.

{{ w.code }} {{ w.element }}
{{ m.n }}
{{ w.role }}
Even without elementals

Only playing Light and Dark? Level her up anyway. Alongside them she hits very hard: in one of Zazelo's videos she deals 78M damage in a single fight, ten times more than Solaris, and even Amon can't keep up. Her real strength is that she has a place in every titan team.

How to build her
Zazelo holding a crystal

For Zazelo, she's one of the best Elarite bets, along with the upcoming Summoner. UnikKatil is in less of a hurry: level her up, but don't pour all your resources into her at once. She already performs very well without a big skin, and a new titan is on the way.

{{ a.slot }}
{{ a.name }}
{{ a.effect }}
{{ a.advice }}
Skins: skip the super skin. It only gives Health, and in the middle that doesn't do much (same as Tenebris's Health skin).
It all hinges on Crystal Vortex: the earlier she casts it, the better your chances of trapping two titans at once. You can spot it by the violet halo above the target.

Relics: where to spend your shards

Everyone has relics. In September, 98% of the accounts we faced in Global Championship had them on at least one hero. The real question is where to put shards that go out much faster than they come in.

Le Bastion's targets

Targets by UnikKatil
{{ t.label }} {{ t.level }}
{{ h.name }}

Several small upgrades rather than one big one

What counts is the total of colors across your 5 heroes, not a single gold relic. Two heroes going from green to blue do more for your team than one going from violet to gold, and cost a lot less.

Cost of each upgrade
→{{ c.step }} {{ c.cost }}
For the same price

{{ e.label }}

Taking a single hero from violet to gold costs as much as two heroes at violet or six at blue. The math is easy.

The smart move

The launch pass

When a hero gets their relic, a Path of the Relic event comes with it, along with a Gold Relic Pass for €19.99. It gives 70 shards for that hero, enough to unlock the relic and get a head start toward blue. It's the most cost-effective way to unlock a relic.

Eternal Frontier: 20 squads

Linzarah, Le Bastion's cat, holding a map

Eternal Frontier asks for more and more squads as you climb, and each hero can only be used once. Here's how Linzarah lines up the 20 squads of the Linzafluff account (S132, 15M total hero power) at frontier 9,631.

Eternal Coins are spent in the mode's shop. That's where you'll find Amira and Soleil soul stones, which share the same currency (pick which one you build first), and first talismans for heroes.

Meet the team

Le Bastion runs on three players. Here's who does what, and who to ask on Discord.

Organised chaos

Zazelo

Zazelo - S32
Guild master of Les Semi-CroustillantsGeneral of Age of FluffyTitan expertS32 non-aggression pactDiscord admin

Zaz does ten things at once, and somehow all of them get done. Guild master of Les Semi-Croustillants, general of Age of Fluffy, she also runs the server 32 non-aggression pact for Realm and a handful of communities. On Le Bastion she reviews everything titan-related, answers your titan questions and keeps the Discord running, channels and automations included. A word of advice: attack when you're asked to. Teammates who slack off end up in her dungeon.

Got a question about how something in the game works? Erek has the answer, and he'll explain it with a smile, even if it's the tenth time this week. He also proofreads everything before it goes live and comes up with ideas when we're stuck. The one exception to his calm: the end of war. If you haven't attacked, he'll ping you. Personally. Every day if he has to.

Linzarah started the site and can't stop: a hero sheet here, a TikTok video there, plus the monthly illustration on Discord. She's also an HPN admin. She'd rather you talk about the site than about her, so we'll leave it at that.
