Welcome to the part of the guide where we stop guessing… and start building monsters properly.

In this section, we are breaking down heroes from all three factions.
What they actually do.
What their skills mean in real terms.
And most importantly… why that third GLOBAL skill is not optional.

Every hero looks impressive at first glance. Big numbers. Flashy abilities. Dramatic poses. Very inspiring.

But the real power spike?
It lives in that third skill.

For gatherers, it changes efficiency.
For fighters, it shifts damage output.
For development heroes, it unlocks long term scaling that quietly compounds while everyone else is wondering why you are pulling ahead.

Think of the first two skills as introductions.
The third skill is where the hero stops being decorative and starts being dangerous.

We will walk through:

• Each faction
• What their skills actually impact
• Which heroes deserve investment
• Which ones can politely sit on the bench
• And why upgrading that third skill is one of the smartest long term decisions you can make

Because in 401, we do not just collect heroes.
We optimise them.

Let us cause some well organised mayhem. 🖤

BLOOD ROSE 

🌍 Global Skill Value

Katrina quietly boosts your account even when she is not on the battlefield.

Here is what her Global Skill provides as you star her up:

• 100 free fuel per day

⭐ Star Level 2
• Idle EXP +5%

⭐ Star Level 3
• Idle EXP +5%

⭐ Star Level 4
• Fuel restoration speed +10%

Fuel keeps you active. Idle EXP keeps you growing. Katrina feeds both.

⚔️ Fourth Skill

“The hero’s attack and defence increase by 10%, and troop capacity goes up by 5%.”

Simple. Clean. Effective.

That is raw efficiency.

Katrina is not flashy. She is dependable.

She helps you:
• Progress faster early game
• Sustain longer in fights
• Improve passive growth
• Increase overall formation durability

She is the kind of hero that quietly strengthens your entire account while others chase shiny damage numbers.

And in 401, we respect heroes who do the work.
