Hero Wars Guild Wars Guide: Attacking, Defending and Helping Your Guild Win

Guild Wars pit your guild against another in a battle for points. Members attack the enemy’s defences while defending their own, and the guild with the better result wins rewards for everyone. It’s where Hero Wars feels most like a team game.

How Guild Wars work

• Guilds are matched against opponents of similar strength.
• Each guild sets up defences using members’ heroes and titans.
• During the war, members attack enemy defences to earn points.
• Results determine rewards for every participating member.

Exact schedules and rules can change between seasons, so always check your guild’s announcements and the in-game war screen.

Before the war

1. Make sure your defence is set – an empty or weak slot is easy points for the enemy.
2. Upgrade your strongest heroes and titans – both can matter. See our titans guide.
3. Read guild chat for the plan.

Choosing attack targets

• Follow your guild’s target assignments if they exist.
• Pick fights you can win – a failed attack often earns nothing.
• Check the defending team’s composition, not just its power.
• Use counters: magic damage against high-armour teams, physical damage against high magic defence.

Smaller accounts can still help

You don’t have to be the strongest member to contribute:

• Use all your attacks on targets you can beat.
• Keep your defence set, even if it’s modest.
• Coordinate with stronger members so they take the hardest targets.

Building good defences

Tip	Why
Use durable heroes	Defences need to survive without manual control
Include healing	Long fights favour the side that recovers
Mix damage types	Harder for attackers to counter
Use your best titans	Titan defences matter too

After the war

• Claim your rewards.
• Talk with your guild about what worked and what didn’t.
• Upgrade the heroes or titans that made the biggest difference.

Common mistakes

• Missing attacks.
• Attacking targets you can’t beat.
• Leaving defence slots empty.
• Ignoring titans.

Guild Wars reward participation and coordination. Use every attack, follow the plan and your guild will climb together. More team-building tips in our team building guide.
