Era of Stars is a sci-fi themed SLG game, composed of dual heroes, with different skills, and can carry unique unit types, thus forming various lineups. So, what is the strongest lineup in Era of Stars? Below, we will share the currently strong hero combinations in the current version, see which two heroes are paired, and how to equip skills and units. You can refer to this and make appropriate adjustments based on your own situation.
【Rapid Fire Team】
The Rapid Fire Team is centered around the high-frequency trigger mechanism of rapid fire, using the synergy between rapid fire skills and heroes to deliver continuous and dense attacks. The top-tier Rapid Fire Team currently requires the core hero "Mulan," who has a high probability of rapid fire and can increase the frequent triggering of skills for the entire team, making her the face of the Rapid Fire system. If you don't have Mulan, you can also use other heroes from the Rapid Fire system like "Harper" and "Heng'e" to form a standard Rapid Fire Team, coordinating with other rapid fire skills to create a good cycle.
The advantage of the rapid fire mechanism is that its attacks do not trigger enemy counterattacks or retaliation effects, giving it a natural advantage against counterattack teams and shield retaliation teams. Although there is some randomness in the triggering of rapid fire, with all the buffs stacked, the output is still very stable, making it the preferred choice for casual and mid-spending players for high-frequency attack teams.
【Basic Attack Team】
The Basic Attack Team excels in stable, high-damage output, with the core mechanism being the enhancement of basic attacks, causing large-scale damage through high hit rates, splash, and buff effects. The two core heroes of the top-tier Basic Attack Team are difficult to obtain, and the cost to form the team is relatively high, but once formed, its output capability is explosive. Lower-tier heroes such as "Chunlei" and "Sturm" can be used as alternatives, paired with other basic attack skills, still maintaining considerable combat power.
It's worth noting that the basic attack mechanism is the most fundamental form of attack in the game, triggering enemy counterattacks and retaliation, but due to extremely high base damage bonuses, once a power gap is established, the opponent will find it hard to cope. The Basic Attack Team is suitable for high-spending players with ample resources and a rich hero roster in the mid-to-late game, offering extremely strong burst damage.
【Counterattack Team】
The Counterattack Team's characteristic is "you hit me once, I hit you back." It uses high evasion, high mobility, and precise weakening of the enemy's evasion ability to build a countermechanism. As long as the team receives an attack, regardless of whether the enemy uses ranged or melee skills, or even ignores attack distance, they will immediately counterattack. Counterattacks do not trigger retaliation and are not countered by enemy counterattack teams, making it a very powerful "counter-attack while defending" type of lineup.
Forming a top-tier Counterattack Team is quite challenging, requiring support from specific heroes, but lower-tier heroes like "Halin" and "Barbara" can also support the basic structure, combined with some system skills, providing strong counterattack capabilities. This team is particularly suitable for city defense, solo operations, and dealing with multiple enemy encirclements.
【Shield Retaliation Team】
The Shield Retaliation Team is a hybrid lineup, with the advantage of extremely high survivability and stable damage reflection, focusing on endurance and tactical control. By pairing tactical heroes with damage reflection skills, it can effectively withstand a large amount of enemy output and steadily counter, especially effective for over-level challenges and PVE stage clearing.
The damage reflection mechanism reflects a proportion of the actual damage dealt by the enemy, different from the "hit back" logic of counterattacks. Additionally, damage reflection is not re-triggered by counterattacks or other damage reflection mechanisms, ensuring battle stability. The team's skills are mainly composed of A-grade skills, which are relatively easy to obtain, making it very suitable for casual players to quickly form in the early to mid-game.
【Healing Team】
The Healing Team, also known as the Active Team, is an essential support lineup for any army. It provides wide-ranging healing and buffs to the team through active skills, maintaining the team's sustained combat capability. In the top-tier team, "Anubis" is an irreplaceable mainstay, paired with other high-level active skills, providing powerful buffs and continuous healing effects to the entire team during battles.
Due to the cooldown time required for active skills, the burst damage is not as high as other offensive teams, but it excels in stability and comprehensiveness, making it the most worthy long-term investment among all lineup combinations. For lower-tier teams, "Jingangzhi" and other A-grade active skills can be used as alternatives, still achieving good auxiliary effects when paired.
Above are the general recommendations for the current strongest lineups in Era of Stars. The SLG lineup combinations are essentially just a few sets. The Rapid Fire, Basic Attack, and Counterattack Teams form the main output types. The Rapid Fire Team has a relatively low entry barrier, suitable for casual players, and can enter the top-tier ranks after obtaining "Mulan"; the Basic Attack and Counterattack Teams have extremely strong output capabilities, but are costly and the heroes are hard to get, more suitable for high-spending players; the Shield Retaliation Team combines durability and stable counterattacks, making it a key force, and is an ideal choice for low-cost formation for casual players; the Healing Team is indispensable for any player as a sustain guarantee, especially playing a crucial role in mid-to-late game army battles.
