Blessed Heroes - Tournament

Each week one hero is Blessed which drastically improves that hero's base stats and usually makes them best hero choice that week.

*Tip. Blessed hero for next week is known few days earlier by Hero's Blessed Premonition/Awakening packs seen in-game at Store>Sale Bundles.*

## General info

In many weeks, there is a general top "team" of heroes that gives you the highest scores due to their abilities. Top team usually consists of 1) the Blessed hero + 2) multiplier/buff partners (if hero has any, like Smoulder's stats being buffed by Leif'sR6) + 3) someone who can reliably stop enemies (like Necro-Connie, or any hero with good CC), or helps to kill them (mainly Koi/Raida/Cyra), or buffs heroes (like Shamiko/Yan/Helios can through haste), or enables certain game play (like Narlax' pull, Lancelot's shield, etc.).

However top team each week depends on too many factors, namely: 1) the blessed hero 2) world/map 3) which league/week.

1. **Blessed hero:** certain heroes basically force you to use their synergy partners (example: Smoulder will almost always see Leif R6 and Narlax R6 as their team)
2. **World/Map:** some worlds or even specific maps play nicer to certain heroes, so you may see them due to the actual map. And due to different enemies present. (example: Cyra in W6, Lancelot in W5/W6, Connie in W4 etc)
3. **Leagues:** lower leagues tend to not use meta heroes (not accessible to many players since they are generally newer players) thus players can advance/promote using non-meta heroes
4. **Week:** deceptively, as weeks go on, each league "generally" becomes easier to advance/promote as the more senior players have moved on already; therefore you may see non-meta heroes work even in same maps that would fail in higher leagues with similar maps. In those weeks blessed hero is often not required for promotion, and very rarely not even for top10.

**After each season you will see the analysis of it indicating which heroes were used most often along with overall observations over at the Meta page.**

### Who is blessed/skipped/excluded:

* Blessed: each hero is usually only blessed once per season. With few heroes excluded and few skipped each season.
* Excluded so far: atm all but newes heroes are eligible to be blessed (those excluded being Cyra, Elara, Jet and Osan).
* Skipped: since there are 15 weeks and 17/18 heroes are eligible to be blessed. 2/3 heroes are usually skipped:
* S19: **Mabyn, Azura, Obsidian & Efrigid** S18: **Fee, Lancelot & Bolton** S17: **Caldera & Bolton** S16: **Connie** & **Obsidian**; S15 **Yan** & **Caldera**; S14 **Sethos** & **Caldera**; S13 **Helios** & **Yan**; S12 **Caldera** & **Azura**; S11 **Leif** & **Caldera**
* Bronze & Silver leagues have different blessed hero rotation. W5 and Heroes from later worlds are excluded.

## Current (Season 22)

Season 22Blessed Heroes:

The first three weeks of the Season may be wrong. I could only say that from memory.

## Current (Season 21)

* Leagues: G = Gold, P = Platinum, D = Diamond, M = Masters, L = Legendary.
* Map = Maps are usually grouped into 3 groups: 1.Gold/Platinum, 2.Diamond, 3.Master/Legendary (and 4th group Bronze/Silver, not tracked here). Due to each of these groups being in their own specific rotation, they may sometimes intersect and map can appear in multiple groups.
* Top 10 per League = 10 best teams in a specific league.
	+ Will track all top 10 teams in each league to ensure we capture more data. (number behind team will show how many times that team appeared in top 10)
	+ When different teamcomps are in top ten, best team will be listed first, and underlined.
	+ Off-page will also track kill count (score) as a way to potentially calculate a new meta and team combos. Which might later reflect into seasonal analysis.
* B = Blessed hero (generally at max rank, if non-max rank it will be shown as "BR#")
	+ If there is not "B" on a team, blessed hero wasn't used in it.
	+ If you see Cyra, assume Elara was needed as summoned hero and vice versa. Similarly as Bolton and Obsidian.

## Seasons in more detail:

Over the time there were some redesigns to these tables, so each season has new terms in it (if something changed). *Currently these are being unified to look as newest season for easier navigation.*

**To see Season 11 strategy and analysis, please click HERE to go to the Meta page.**

Terms:

* Leagues: G = Gold, P = Platinum, D = Diamond, M = Masters, L = Legendary

## Season 12

**To see Season 12 strategy and analysis, please click HERE to go to the Meta page.**

Terms:

* New for Season 12, will add (M) to indicate Masters hero only (where possible) as scores appear to be drastic between Masters and Legendary with differing heroes as the season goes on; same with G or P for Gold/Platinum where possible.
* New for Season 12: tracked the Blessed hero multiplier to see how much of a boost they get. This can change season to season.

## Season 13
