Annihilate the enemy!

Whether it’s fighting Titans, defeating other players in wars/tournaments, or just going through stages to advance well into story mode, no one has your back better than your old reliable attackers. Who better equipped to take down enemies than those guys and their ridiculous attacking skills, after all? 

In this list, we’ll be covering our latest picks of Empires and Puzzles Best Attack Heroes That Are OP - so better buckle up, buttercup, and we hope you have them in your roster!

15. Franz

Summonable From: Clash of Knights Event and Summon Pool

Mana Speed: Very Slow

Class: Paladin (may increase own defense after taking damage)

Look, 4* heroes are not Legendary, but they’re still pretty epic. Just ask our man Franz over here!

He might be a little slow - okay fine, Very Slow - but that just means he’s hiding horrors behind that Mana Speed. 

When his Sonorous Spear goes off? He deals 215% damage to all enemies, which is pretty comparable to most 5* heroes in this list to be honest. But things don’t stop there, as all damage they receive is increased by 50% for 6 whole turns - and when we say all, we mean ALL! And because Franz is a beast, he also stops his foes from getting new status effect buffs for 6 turns too. You know he’ll just be dominating a lot of 4* tournaments, and hey - bring him along for Rush Attack battles too - he’ll definitely be a key player in your lineup! 

What Makes Franz a Great Attacker:

• Multi-target attacker - attacks all enemies for 215% damage
• Damage increaser - all damage all enemies receive is increased by +50% for 6 turns
• Debuffer - all enemies become immune to new status effect buffs for 6 turns
• Awesome to deploy during Rush Attack - to make up for his Very Slow Mana Speed

14. Vanda Costume

Summonable From: Return to Morlovia Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Very Fast

Class: Wizard (may deal additional damage)

Vanda Costume does a ton of great things at once - and it all happens at Very Fast Mana Speed too!

First, her Twilight of Ruin attacks all enemies for 115% damage, and if any healing is applied to all of them during the next 3 turns? Vanda gets to steal 51% of them to heal herself - which makes her a very self-sufficient lady, in our opinion. Lastly, she safeguards her allies by making them immune to getting new status ailments for 3 turns, too - making her ideal to pit against heroes who freely dole out ailments alongside their special skills! Prevention is better than cure, after all!   

What Makes Vanda Costume a Great Attacker:

• Multi-target attacker - attacks all enemies for 115% damage
• Halves enemies’ healing - as she steals 51% of any healing applied to all enemies for 3 turns
• Prevents status ailments - makes her allies immune to getting new status ailments for 3 turns

13. Peñolite 

Summonable From: Sanctuary of Gargoyles Event Summons

Mana Speed: Average

Class: Ranger (attacks may bypass enemy buffs)

With so many minion and fiend summoners out there, it feels natural to have a hero built specifically to counter them. And that someone is Peñolite herself! 

Her Radiant Rapid-Fire may not seem much at first, as it “only” deals 245% damage to the target. But if that someone is a minion or fiend summoner like, say, Bera or Elizabeth? Peñolite’s damage to them easily doubles to 490%. And while she seems like a single-target attacker, the 3rd effect of her special skill actually applies to all enemies - by way of decreasing any healing they receive by -50% for 4 turns. Go off then, mama!  

What Makes Peñolite a Great Attacker:

• Effective against minion or fiend summoners - her attack jumps from 245% to 490% when attacking them
• Debuffer - causes all enemies to get decreased healing for 4 turns

12. Hannah

Summonable From: Valhalla Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Fast

Class: Druid (may summon a Thorn minion when attacked)

Our Indi-Hannah can be quite a menace to her foes - which means she’s fantastic to have on our side!

Her Corrupting Idol corrupts a target and their nearby enemies by way of dealing 215% damage to them at the onset. Next comes the nasty part, as these three get to win a Golden Idol Fiend that damages them with 43% attack at every turn, gives them -20% attack, and absorbs the healing they received until they’ve gotten health equal to 20% of their owner’s max health. Considering Hannah summons these fiends at Fast Mana Speed, though? Good luck dealing with these nasty buggers!  

What Makes Hannah a Great Attacker:

• Multi-target attacker - deals damage to the target and nearby enemies
• Summons fiends for enemies - deals damage, steals healing, and debuffs the enemies’ attack by 20%

Hannah full details: link

11. Ursena Costume

Summonable From: Atlantis Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Average

Class: Druid (may summon a Thorn minion when attacked)

Ursena’s Costume, man. If before her regular self is a menace to Holy enemies, get ready for a version of her that’s even more difficult for Yellow heroes to fight against!

Her Reef Blast has a condition: regularly, it deals 130% damage to all enemies, but if they have more than 50% health in their system? The damage goes up to 260% just like that. And players may think twice about deploying primarily Holy guys and gals to beat her, considering the third effect of her skill makes her team reflect all status effects and 115% damage from their Special Skills back to the attacker for 4 turns. Lastly? Her costume then causes all Holy enemies to get -54% defense against Dark for 4 turns, making her a fantastic hero to deploy not just against regular holy enemies, but against Yellow Titans too! Dressed up and ready to go, Ursena is! 

What Makes Ursena Costume a Great Attacker:

• Multi-target attacker - deals 130 - 260% damage to all enemies depending on their health
• Counterattacker - makes her tem reflect status effect and damage from holy enemies’ Special Skills back to their attacker
• Fantastic to use against Holy Titans - gives Holy enemies -54% defense against Dark for 4 turns

10. Inari Costume

Summonable From: Atlantis Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Average

Class: Druid (may summon Thorn minion when attacked)

Our girl Inari finally gets her costume, and it changes her from a defensive dodger into a more offensive blinder!

Her aptly named Blinding Spell initially deals 210% damage to all enemies. If her regular version needs to dodge in order to gain a Sakura Fox Minion, the costume makes it so that it’s automatic for herself and nearby allies, though they still add mana to their owner at the end of each turn. The blinding happens at the last part, as all enemies get -40% accuracy for 3 turns - and we all know just how annoying having less accuracy is, considering it causes those afflicted to sometimes miss hitting their targets altogether! Naught naughty Inari!

What Makes Inari a Great Attacker:

• Multi-target attacker - deals damage to all enemies
• Minion summoner - summons minion for herself and nearby enemies
• Debuffer - gives all enemies -40% accuracy for 3 turns

9. Sir Roostley

Summonable From: Springvale Event Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Average

Class: Paladin (may increase own defense after taking damage)

Ah, Sir Roostley. It may seem like he’s a single-target attacker, but give his Special Skill’s secondary effect another look and, oof!

While Luminous Lance deals 280% damage to one target, the attack actually chains through all enemies that are adjacent to any hit enemy - meaning it’s not impossible for all enemies to actually get hit by his attack! Like other Springvale heroes though, this skill has a drawback - as the kind sir gets -20% attack for 3 turns, meaning his next attack may not hurt as much provided he gets his mana filled up within 3 turns. Outside of that window, though? Sir Roostley is free to attack once again without impediment. Cockadoodledoo!

What Makes Sir Roostley a Great Attacker:

• Multi-target attacker - deals 280% damage to the target which chains through all enemies adjacent to any hit enemy

8. Killhare

Summonable From: Springvale Event Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Average

Class: Fighter (may revive herself with 1 HP after a fatal attack)

Like Sir Roostley, Killhare has a double-edge attack - but it doesn’t make her less potent in what she can do!

Her Reckless Swing deals a fantastic 300% damage to all enemies - which is amazing considering it’s delivered at Average Mana Speed. However, it comes at a price her allies pay, by way of them suffering -20% defense for 3 turns, which can’t be dispelled. Killhare, meanwhile, is spared from this debuff! Still, if it's an attack you want, attack she shall do - all for victory!

What Makes Killhare a Great Attacker:

• Multi-target attacker - deals 300% damage to all enemies

Killhare full details: link

7. Bobo

Summonable From: Starfall Circus Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Slow

Class: Barbarian (may cause bleed effect on enemies when attacking)

Bobo definitely has a lot to smile about!

His Bobo Blitz does 320% damage to all enemies, but those who meet certain stats may just suffer more afterwards. After all, the enemy with the highest base defense gets -60% defense for 4 turns, while the enemy with the highest base attack gets -60% attack for 4 turns - both of which can’t be cleansed. Say hello to an attacker who targets the enemies with best defense and best offense in the opposing them - and make them less so!

What Makes Bobo a Great Attacker:

• Multi-target attacker - deals 320% damage to all enemies
• Debuffer - enemy with highest base defense gets -60% defense for 4 turns while enemy with highest base attack gets -60% attack for 4 turns, which can’t be cleansed

6. Peridot

Summonable From: Ninja Tower Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Charge

Class: Rogue (may dodge enemy special skills)

Holy smokes, a ninja whose specialty is in giving status ailments? That’s none other than Perfectly Powerful Peridot, period!

Her Suffocating Smoke is also a Poison Paradise considering she gives enemies both effects. At 1x mana charge, she deals 240% damage to a single target, gives them 220 poison damage, and also gives them -35% accuracy for 2 turns. At 2x mana charge, Peridot attacks a target and their nearby allies who then get 438 poison damage and -40% accuracy for 4 turns. But 3x is where the real threat lies, as Peridot now deals 320% damage to all enemies while making everyone suffer 764 poison damage and -54% accuracy - all for 4 turns! Peridot is great to unleash anytime, but better used against a lineup without a cleanser in their midst - this just makes the status ailments she inflicts all the more devastating! 

What Makes Peridot a Great Attacker:

• Depending on her mana charge, she:
  • Is a single to multi-target attacker - attacks one to all enemies
  • Inflicts status ailments - from 220 to 764 Poison damage, and -35% to -54% accuracy

5. Onyx

Summonable From: Ninja Tower Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Charge

Class: Ranger (attacks may bypass defensive buffs)

Dangerous dispellers roll-call? Save a slot for this ninja over here, please!

Onyx’s Crippling Claws makes sure his enemies won’t be enjoying any kind of buffs any time soon. At 1x mana charge, he deals 270% damage to the target, makes them immune to new buffs for 3 turns, and dispels whatever buffs they have at the moment. At 2x, he now deals 310% damage to the target and nearby enemies, makes them immune to new buffs for 4 turns, and dispels their buffs too. At 3x, though? Woah, damage! He can now deal 350% damage to all enemies, make them immune to new buffs for 5 turns, and dispels all their buffs too! Oh Nyx!

What Makes Onyx a Great Attacker:

• Depending on his mana charge, he:
  • Is a single to multi-target attacker - attacks one to all enemies
  • Is a debuffer - makes enemies immune to new buffs
  • Dispels existing buffs

4. Ruby

Summonable From: Ninja Tower Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Charge

Class: Barbarian (attacks may inflict bleed on enemies)

Red is the color of blood - and Ruby may be to blame for spilling them.

Her ability to destroy things depends on how long she’s been saving up her mana. At 1x mana charge, she only attacks one target for 290% damage, reduces their mana by 25%, and gives them -14% mana generation for 2 turns. At 2x, she attacks the target and nearby enemies for 330% damage, reduces their mana by 50%, and gives them -24% mana generation for 3 turns. At 3x mana charge though? She deftly deals 370% damage to all enemies, reduces their mana by 100%, and gives them -34% mana generation for 4 turns. Better call for aid - there’s a calamity all around her!

What Makes Ruby a Great Attacker:

• Depending on her mana charge, she:
  • Is a single to multi-target attacker - attacks one to all enemies
  • Controls enemy mana - reduces mana from 25% to 100% and gives -14% to -34% mana generation, which can last from 2 to 4 turns

3. Finley Costume

Summonable From: Pirates of Corellia Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Fast

Class: Fighter (may revive himself after being dealt a fatal attack)

You know Finley’s smirking for a reason - and the reason is you!

His Commodore’s Malice may seem like a single-target attack, except it morphs if ever the enemies are buffed to the max - and chances are, they will be. It deals 420% damage to the target, but if that target has buffs, his skill targets another enemy with buffs - which means he’ll hit everyone in the lineup if they’re all buffed! And that’s not even the worst part. All hit targets then suffer -56% defense for 3 turns, which can be a death sentence - a walk in the plank, even - just waiting to happen. 

What Makes Finley Costume a Great Attacker:

• Has Fast Mana Speed - can unleash skills quicker
• May hit more than one target - if his target has buffs, targets other enemies with buffs and hits them, too
• Debuffer - gives all hit enemies -56% defense for 3 turns

2. Cristóbal 

Summonable From: Tower of Magic Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Charge

Class: Sorcerer (may reduce enemy’s mana generation)

Charming, isn’t he? Great thing he’s lethal, too!

As with all magicians, Cristóbal’s skill becomes stronger if he’s brewing his skill longer. At 1x mana charge, he’s a single-target attacker able to deal 250% damage to the target - though this increases to a devastating 500% if they have more than 50% health remaining. At 2x mana charge? Ay caramba! He deals 215% damage to all enemies, which morphs to a life-ending 430% if his target has less than 50% health remaining! Guess he’s more a fighter than a lover, after all!

What Makes Cristóbal a Great Attacker:

• Depending on his mana charge, he:
  • Is a single to multi-target attacker - attacks one to all enemies
  • Deals damage depending on target’s health - 250-500% to one target if they have more than 50% health remaining, or 215-430% to all enemies if the target has less than 50% health remaining

1. Quenell

Summonable From: Clash of Knights Summons Pool

Mana Speed: Fast

Class: Ranger (attack may bypass defensive buffs)

Bow to the Quenell, indeed! 

Her Howling Sword powers up the more she uses the skill - and if you’re blessed by RNGesus, then you’re definitely gonna see Quenell be a one-woman army. She deals 320% damage to the target and nearby enemies at the onset, but the next time they use her skill? There will be an additional +40% power to it, which then grows to +80%, +120%... up to +200% in total! The mre times she uses her sword, the more devastating she becomes. This girl is definitely thirsty, all right - for her enemies’ blood!   

What Makes Quenell a Great Attacker:

• Multi-target attacker - attacks her target and nearby enemies
• Buffer - attack grows the more times she uses her special skill

Quenell full details: link

And that’s our list for today! Man, Empires and Puzzles definitely has a lot of uberpowerful attackers in their pool - and this lineup proves it without a doubt!
