On your mark, get set, slay the enemy!

Ever wonder how fights among heroes will go if their mana speed isn’t an issue? Well, wonder no more because Rush Attack is where you’ll see for yourself how that will go! Here, all hell breaks loose and only the very best teams emerge as the winner above all others.

With that in mind, here are our Top 10 picks for the Empires and Puzzles Best Heroes for Rush Attack, from Seasons 1 - 4.  

10. Gunnar Costume

Doesn’t miss arm day, this one.

One of our top 3-star heroes, Gunnar Costume shines a whole lot brighter especially during Rush Attack Tournaments of his rank.

His Steel Link allows all enemies to share damage, which doesn’t sound like a good thing - except Gunnar’s Special Skill also gives them -44% defense for 5 whole turns! This gives the other heroes in Gunnar’s lineup an easier time to just get rid of the enemies left and right, especially if they don’t have a cleanser in their lineup. And this being Rush Attack? If they survive that first round, Gunnar’s sure to give them that debuff again and again, particularly if he’s set as the Tank of the team. That sure is rough!  

What Makes Gunnar Costume Great For Rush Attack:

• Makes all enemies share damage with each other
• Gives all enemies -44% defense for 5 turns

9. Gullinbursti

This little piggy didn’t go to the market!

One of our top picks for the best 4* heroes, Gullinbursti is definitely a beast in battle - pun intended.

His Angry Boar has both defensive and offensive abilities, making him a health booster and an attacker all in one. He boosts the health of all his allies by 400, and during Rush Attack, he can double his team’s HP in no time. But that’s not all: when the skill’s used, his attack gets increased depending on how many times he and his allies are hit during 3 turns, after which he’ll hit his enemies anywhere from 164% to 288% or 197 to 365 damage! No wonder he’s often in many line-ups, even during non-Rush Attack battles - this dude’s very useful to have!

What Makes Gullinbursti Great For Rush Attack:

• Boosts health of all allies by 400
• After three turns, unleashes an attack on all enemies, resulting in 164% to 288% (197 to 365) damage depending on how many times they’ve been hit 

8. Azlar Costume

Unleash the beast!

If you’re facing Azlar Costume in battle? Better prepare for pain - lots of it.

His Volcanic Flareup deals damage intent on finishing his target and their nearby enemies: initially pegged at 205%, the damage easily doubles to 410% if his target has less than 50% health remaining. If that doesn’t kill them? The follow-up 430 burn damage over 2 turns definitely will. Did we mention it can’t also be dispelled? Now that’s just hell on earth!     

What Makes Azlar Costume Great For Rush Attack:

• Attacks enemies for 205% to 410% damage depending on target’s health; less health, more damage
• Gives target and nearby enemies 430 burn damage for 2 turns, which can’t be dispelled

7. Vivica Costume

Wanna see how fast she can make you disappear?

Rush Attack doesn’t just make attackers attack more, but it also makes healers even more OP - Vivica Costume even more so.

Her Omnicure heals 44% of her allies’ health, which can bring even those near death back to fighting form in no time. But that’s not all! Her other skills make her a dispeller and a debuffer too, as her Special Skill grants -44% defense to all her enemies for 4 turns as well as removes all positive buffs from them - making them easy pickings for the attackers in her team. This makes her one of the most-have heroes in this game - and must-use during Rush Attacks! 

What Makes Vivica Costume Great For Rush Attack:

• Recovers 44% health for all allies
• Gives -44% defense to enemies
• Dispels buffs from all enemies

6. Khagan Costume

If looks could kill…

Khagan Costume feels tailor-fit for Rush Attacks - and for good reason.

His Conqueror’s Command deals a whole lot of pain to a single target at 514%. Moreover, every time he unleashes this attack, his allies benefit greatly in that they get to receive +12% mana generation and +46% defense for 5 turns! And this being Rush Attack and with him as a Tank, you can be sure these buffs will be up and running often, making his team just a tad more annoyingly unkillable than usual. Better be ready with your army of dispellers when facing him, then! 

What Makes Khagan Costume Great For Rush Attack:

• Deals 514% damage to a single target
• Gives +12% mana generation to all allies for 5 turns
• Gives +46% defense to all allies for 5 turns

5. Sif

Defying gravity!

If you hate enemies who reflect your attacks right back at you, then Sif is one enemy you’ll loathe to face in Rush Attacks.

Her Gold Weaver grants herself and her nearby allies the ability to counterattack 100% of the damage they receive for 4 turns, so good luck if you accidentally unleash a Special Skill of your own with this buff in effect. In addition, Sif and her nearby allies will also reduce the damage they received by -50%, as well as enjoy that sweet +24% mana generation for 4 turns - which, during Rush Attack, will just be even more insane. Bring along a healer/dispeller when facing Sif - you’ll be needing their services a lot!

What Makes Sif Great For Rush Attack:

• Makes herself and nearby allies counterattack with 100% of damage received for 4 turns
• Reduces damage she and nearby allies receive by 50%
• Gives herself and nearby allies +24% mana generation

4. Wilbur

A Feast for the Ages!

Wilbur’s Special Skill is definitely something to write home about!

His Wonderful Feast is a buff dream for his team and a debuff nightmare for the enemies, all at the same time. Both parties share damage with their allies, sure, but while Wilbur’s team gets to enjoy that awesome +63% defense, his enemies will have to endure that -44% defense in return. This will just make them easier to dispose of, particularly if Wilbur’s backed up by a bunch of OP attackers in his lineup - as he very well should be!

What Makes Wilbur Great For Rush Attack:

• Makes both allies and enemies share damage with their teams for 4 turns
• Gives all allies +63% defense for 4 turns
• Gives all enemies -44% defense for 4 turns

3. Prof Lidenbrock

She’ll teach a lesson or two about ass-kicking!

A fantastic Healing Tank all on her own, Prof. Lidenbrock will surely bring her gifts along with her during Rush Attack.

Her Glorious Grace can cleanse status ailments and boost the health of all her allies by 200. And there’s more: they also regenerate 600 boosted health over 4 turns, which resets if the target gets status ailments! The enemies will surely need to have a ton of offensive power on their side just so they can counter all of that healing. Best of luck to those who encounter her during Rush Attack!

What Makes Prof. Lidenbrock Great For Rush Attack:

• Cleanses status ailments from all allies
• Boosts health of all allies by 200 
• Boosts health of all allies by 600 over 4 turns, which resets if the target receives status ailments

2. Heimdall

All hail the mighty Heimdall!

One of the best heroes summonable from Valhalla, be sure to use him to defend your team well during Rush Attack.

As a healing tank, his Boon of Gjallarhorn boosts the health of all his allies by 500 as well as provides them that amazing +30% attack for 4 turns - making them live longer and have stronger attacks to take down the opposing side quicker. But that’s not all: should any of his teammates fall under his watch, his Special Skill also grants them a 20% chance to come bouncing back at 30% HP. Just when you think his team is done for, Heimdall turns the table back to your favor!

What Makes Heimdall Great For Rush Attack:

• Boosts all allies’ health by 500
• Gives all allies +30% attack for 4 turns
• Gives all fallen allies a 20% chance to get revived with 30% HP 

1. Alfrike

Don’t even fight your inevitable end!

Scared of her? You should be. She is our top pick for an OP Attacker, after all.

Without the issue of mana speed slowing her down, Alfrike will surely go to town on any team. She just does a ton of things all at once with her Special Skill, Cube of Dark Realm: it deals 200% damage to hit targets, casts 5 Dark Cubes to random enemies that reduce their max health by 224, and her target gets Mindless Attack on a random ally of theirs when their mana is full. Any enemy would surely need a lot of healing power from their end to survive her attack again, and again, and again!  

What Makes Alfrike Great For Rush Attack:

• Does 200% damage to hit targets
• Casts 5 Dark Cubes that reduces max health by 224
• Enemies hit automatically cast Mindless Attack on a random ally of theirs

These heroes will surely have you covered during Rush Attacks. Make sure to utilize them well if you’re lucky enough to have them on your roster!
