## Utility

**Strategy while leveling:**

Surge is a very powerful hero throughout his leveling process. Thanks to his Lightning Call ability, which kills chunks of creeps every few seconds, he can be counted on to level up very easily. In his earliest levels, Surge works best on the rear lines, blasting creeps with lightning as much as possible. After gaining Plasma Field and Presence, Surge becomes formidable on the front lines. After gaining Overload, which speeds up the cool-down for all of his abilities, Surge becomes exceedingly effective at his offensive style. Chunks of creeps blown to bits by Lightning calls every few seconds after Surge gains this ability. Quantum Warp is a nice icing on the cake, once it is unlocked.

**Max ability strategy:**

Surge overall the most useful hero in Alien Creeps at max level. Offensively he is a monster with his Lightning Call wiping out masses of creeps. Surges amazing offense translates to a strong defense as he kills many creeps before they ever hit the infantry lines; making mop up an easy affair. He is fairly durable and highly damaging up close as well. Quantum Warp teleports enemies back and damages them, more power to Surge's defense. He can teleport to reinforce positions across a map or teleport to assassinate high profile creeps (medics for example). Surge does very well in the back lines, killing creeps constantly and mopping up any few that get to the home stretch. He could do well on the front lines to, though his death does delay Lightning Call.

**Most complementary heroes:**

Surge works well with most heroes. Cinder is a nice choice as a front-line defender, backed up by Surge's massive offensive power. A top-level Flak can defend the front line and generate money while Surge kills in mass. A top-level Skybolt and Surge can kill countless creeps with a never-ending stream of Lightning Calls and Sidewinders. Surge and Scorch work together as the king and queen of extreme offense. Surge deals more damage and overall killing than Scorch, However, Scorch has more hardiness than Surge. They pair together so well that it feels as if few perks other heroes offer are missing from the pairing.

It is important to note that Surge doesn't compliment weak heroes who are leveling up to their full potential. Surge kills so many creeps that not much may be left for the other hero. Try stationing weak heroes on the front line so they get some kills in before Surge kills all the creeps.

**How fun is this hero to use:**

Surge is very fun to use, his powers are immense and he requires no concentrated grinding effort to level up. Surge starts of beastly and only gets more so at a steady rate. His ability to teleport makes him appealing to commanders who want to micromanage a bit, and Surge does massive damage just staying in one place.

**Should you invest:**

If you spend any money on Alien Creeps, spend it on Surge. If you want to buy all the heroes, prioritize Surge. The other heroes are just heroes, Surge is a Demigod.
