User blog:Silverwildflower8/The Pros and Cons of "Keira Heroes"

"Keira Heroes" are a title I created, so you probably have no idea what it means. A "Keira Hero" is one that has extremely high DPS, like Keira, but has lower health. A few other examples of this are Qing Mao, Yasmine, and K'arkh. First of all, they're very powerful with their high DPS output, but can be killed very quickly. This is fixable with an extreme Healer, like Martha, or Astaroth, who is the only hero that can resurrect a dead hero. You will also want to consider giving this hero support, such as Nebula or Sebastian. Nebula will increase their damage output even more, and Sebastian will prevent any debuffs on your heroes. Let's take Keira for example:

Keira has high DPS, while holding the Marksman role. A disadvantage or using Keira is her having pretty low Health (which I learned the hard way). Keira, as a Marksman with high DPS, will almost always be in the further back rows. Carrying Dorian can help, as this will increase Vampirism around him, and Keira's Vampirism will be buffed, healing some of her health every time she attacks. This is a very popular combo: Orion and Dorian. When Orion uses his Total Destruction ability, Dorian's passive skill, Initiation, will take effect. At Max Level, this will allow everyone directly next to Dorian to have a 115% Vampirism boost. Orion's Total Destruction, will deal a ton of damage, and will allow Orion to heal back to full health.

Your next problem is probably going to be their low health. When playing "Keira Heroes", you will probably want to carry Astaroth, because of his Last Word skill. This allows him to resurrect a fallen ally to a certain amount of health. However, this gets hard-countered by Celeste's Cursed Flame effect. That will stop Astaroth from healing their health. You might also want to play Jorgen and Martha, which is a common combo that I see a TON in Krista + Lars teams. The shielding and energy control provided by Jorgen is priceless, especially with Martha's insane healing backing it up. It will allow the "Keira Hero" to live for much longer, and deal much more damage.

Here are some "Keira Heroes" I wouldn't invest too much in:

Artemis (Too Squishy)

Daredevil (Say No More)

Ginger (Very powerful in Early Game, but gets outshined in Late Game by other marksmen.)

Astrid and Lucas (Not as good as it seems. Even though you get it from the 7 day Special Event, it doesn't do very much for you.)
