Selecting the right strategy involves assessing both your Hero’s strengths and the opponent’s weaknesses. For example:

• Gale Force Assault is best used with heroes who have high base speed and attack attributes.

• All-out Defense is ideal for heroes who need to withstand a lot of damage, useful in prolonged duels.

• Psychological Warfare is effective for heroes geared towards evasion and defensive duels, disrupting opponents who rely heavily on high attack stats.

Tactical Considerations

• Hero Stats: Always consider your Hero's base attributes and current gear when choosing a strategy.

• Opponent’s Strategy: Try to predict or react to your opponent’s strategy to counter their moves effectively.

• Duel Context: The importance of the duel, whether it’s a regular match or a critical season decider, may influence your strategic choice.
