Tiles Survive! Field Manual
Heroes & Combat · v0.11

Build March 1

Your best five get first dibs.

March 1 is the team you use for your hardest Arena fight, strongest infected, important rally and serious PvP. It should receive most scarce hero investment until it clearly works.

Choose your five

  1. One or two durable front-line heroes.
  2. One reliable main damage dealer.
  3. One healer, protector or useful support.
  4. Fill remaining spots with damage or team synergy.
  5. Use heroes you can actually develop—not five future dreams at three stars.

What each job means

JobWhat you want to seeCommon mistake
TankSurvives pressure through health, defense, shields, reduction or self-healingJudging the tank by low damage
DamageConsistently deals meaningful damage before dyingPutting a fragile attacker in front
SupportHeals, shields, buffs allies, weakens enemies or improves team timingIgnoring value because the damage number is small
FlexibleFills a missing job or completes a useful faction/role bonusChoosing only by displayed Power

Investment order

  1. Keep all five usable. Level them and give them functional equipment.
  2. Secure the front line. Your damage cannot work after the team collapses.
  3. Build the main damage dealer. Survival without damage is a slow-motion loss.
  4. Improve support breakpoints. Stronger healing, protection or buffs can lift the whole team.
  5. Then deepen March 2.
The shiny-new-hero trapA new SSR hero is not automatically stronger than a developed SR or older SSR. Compare what the hero can do today, not what it might do after 600 fragments and a small mortgage.

Before spending universal fragments

Should all five heroes share a faction?

Faction or role bonuses can be valuable, but do not destroy a functional team merely to make icons match. Compare the listed bonus with the Skills and development you would lose. A strong tank, damage dealer and support with partial synergy may outperform a perfect badge bonus full of weak heroes.
