  • Use your creatures' unique abilities to counter specific hero threats. For example, use flying creatures against ground-based heroes or magic-resistant creatures against wizards.
  • Traps can be effective against heroes, especially early in the game.
  • Consider the terrain; some heroes may be more effective in certain environments.
  • The Avatar is a significant threat; ensure your strongest creatures and defenses are ready.
