# Command Synergy & Healing Heroes

**Hero + Squad Synergy**

1. Synergy Mechanics:
2. * When a hero of a certain type is added to a matching squad type, the command associated with that squad will be modified.
   * Example: Adding a Hunter Hero to a Hunter Squad will cause the Hunt command icon to become shiny and improve the effectiveness of the command.
3. Multiple Hero Influence:
4. * Different types of heroes can influence the same squad but will affect different commands.
   * * Example: A Female Hunter hero modifies the Hunt command, while a Male Hunter hero modifies the Debone command.
5. Visual and Auditory Enhancements:
6. * Icons and Tips: Enhanced command icons and tooltips provide additional information when synergy is achieved.
