In the wake of the resurgence of magic teams

What kind of hero will be introduced after Folio?
For a long time, the Nexters have focused on strengthening the Magic Teams.
Their goal is to balance the game after more than five years of physical dominance following Isaac’s debut.
That doesn’t mean making magic teams the strongest.
Nor does it mean getting rid of physical team buffs altogether.
The next hero after Folio hints at this balanced approach.

The roadmap for the first half of the year includes a silhouette of a hero dancing with chains.
This is a strong hint at Peech, a hero who debuted in the mobile version this year.
Peech is a dark, clownish warrior who is part of the Physical Team.
If she is implemented, she could introduce a new type of physical playstyle different from the Dante and Qing Mao meta.

In the real world, DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) has been a major topic of discussion, with both support and backlash.
The game balance in Hero Wars seems to be moving toward its own version of DEI – not in a political sense, but in terms of gameplay diversity.
Instead of a simple “use Isaac to win” or “use Dante to win” formula, the goal seems to be to foster a meta where knowledge and strategy matter more.
Most online games rely on power creep, where newer characters become stronger and older characters become obsolete.
Hero Wars follows this pattern to some extent, but not completely.
Aurora, one of the oldest heroes, has remained relevant and powerful, proving that the game still values long-term character investment.
Unlike typical gacha-based games, Hero Wars monetizes resources rather than heroes, allowing older heroes to remain viable for longer.
This unique model caters to players with a long-term investment in the game.

The direction of the game may not be exactly what every player wants.
However, the shift to a more balanced, diverse meta isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
When Peech is introduced, I hope she won’t be an overpowered, dominant force, but rather a hero who adds to the strategic diversity of the game.

In the end, it was Lyria—not Peech—who was introduced.
She filled all the roles players had expected from Peech, serving as a counter to Dante and enabling new physical team compositions.
So while Peech may still make an appearance in the future, her role will likely be different from what was originally imagined.
