Best Generation 1 lineup (F2P)
| Front | Back |
|---|---|
| Sergey + Jessie | Molly (mid) + Gina + Bahiti |
👉 In the first generation, F2P players mainly have epic heroes and one legendary hero (Molly) available for free. Sergey (epic infantry) serves as the main front-line tank — he “holds the line” and protects the rest of the team. He is accompanied by Charlie (lancer), who, although a rare hero, joins the front row as an additional “off-tank,” but only until Jessie is developed a bit further.
The back line provides area damage and support: Molly (legendary controller) deals strong AoE damage and freezes enemies, making her a key investment right from the start. Gina and Jasser/Bahiti (epic shooters) deliver consistent ranged damage; Gina is especially great for F2P players because her rank can be easily increased through the “Gina’s Revenge” event (in practice, many players quickly obtain her at 5★).
This composition is balanced in terms of durability and damage dealt, while also being cost-effective — it relies entirely on heroes available without spending money.
Best Generation 1 lineup (Whales)
| Front | Back |
|---|---|
| Natalia + Sergey (or Jeronimo) | Gina + Molly + Zinman/Jasser |
👉 The strongest possible Gen1 lineup focuses on legendary heroes available to paying players. Natalia (legendary infantry) is the foundation — she’s an excellent front-line hero with powerful area attacks and a stun. She is complemented by a second frontliner: the free Sergey or, even better, Jeronimo — a legendary VIP hero from Gen1 who deals massive damage and, as an infantry unit, remains the best tank all the way up to Gen4!
In the back line are the main “damage dealers” of the first generation: Zinman (legendary shooter from the Gen1 Lucky Wheel) and Molly, who together provide powerful burst damage and crowd control. The fifth character can be either Gina or Jasser / Gina is easier to upgrade to 5★ and offers excellent area damage, but many P2W players also choose Jasser for his superior burst DMG (both options are solid for the early game).
Such a formation requires investment (Natalia and Jeronimo are available only behind a paywall), but it dominates the Arena in Gen1 – the combination of a solid front line (Natalia + a second infantry) and massive AoE from the back line (Molly, Zinman) allows it to quickly decimate enemy teams.
