Best Heroes to Use in Wheels in Sea of Stars

Discover the best heroes to use in the Wheels minigame in Sea of Stars. Learn about the Warrior, Mage, Archer, Priest, Engineer, and Assassin heroes and their strengths.

The Wheels minigame in Sea of Stars features several unique heroes, each with distinct abilities that make them more or less effective against different opponents and game states. Understanding these heroes is key to mastering the minigame.

• Warrior Hero: A strong early-game option that deals good damage to both the Crown and Bulwark. However, its attacks always hit the Bulwark, making it less effective once the Bulwark is high. It's recommended to sideline the Warrior once the Archer is acquired.
• Mage Hero: One of the two starting heroes, the Mage attacks twice, with the second attack always bypassing the Bulwark to hit the Crown. While powerful, it consumes a fair amount of energy.
• Archer Hero: Acquired after winning a Champion match in Port Town of Brisk. The Archer is strong against the Crown but weak against the Bulwark. It has a special ability: if the enemy's Bulwark is at two or less, it attacks the Crown directly; otherwise, it hits the Bulwark.
• Priest Hero: Unlocked by defeating Yolande on the Vespertine. This support unit does not deal damage but can heal your Crown and provide energy to other heroes.
• Engineer Hero: Unlocked by winning a Champion match at Lake Docarria. The Engineer is a defensive unit that deals damage to the enemy's Bulwark and increases your own Bulwark by two levels with each action.
• Assassin Hero: Unlocked after a quest and Champion match in Repine. The Assassin has low damage but bypasses the Bulwark to attack the Crown directly. It also delays the opponent's next hero.

While the Warrior is useful early on, the Mage and Archer are generally considered the best heroes for sustained play. The Priest can be a valuable substitute depending on the situation. The effectiveness of your hero choices can also depend on your opponent's choices; for instance, the Engineer is excellent against an opponent using the Warrior.
