[Hero Wars Guide]CoW Season 17

CoW Season 16: Schedule

• Schedule: Planned to run for 12 weeks with 24 battles.
• Ranking Trends: As in Season 15 – 16, guilds with many players using cheats to identify the optimal strategy may continue to perform well in the rankings.
• Season Buffs: Due to an unexpected issue, the Season 1 buff will remain active this season.

CoW Combat Training Issue

• Last season, the Buff mechanics from Season 1 returned, but this season has reverted to the standard Buff mechanics. This change has caused a bug in Combat Training that prevents Buffs such as Engineer from functioning properly, disrupting battle testing for top players.

CoW Season 17: Meta Trend Predictions

Following Season 15, guilds with a large number of players using cheats to reveal the optimal strategy are likely to remain dominant in the rankings.

Hero Battle Outlook

Teams That Can Defeat Electra and Fluffy Three Times Remain in Demand

• Physical teams are starting to see use, but they have not yet dramatically changed the meta.
• As in the previous season, it is likely still advantageous to have a strategy for defeating the Electra and Fluffy pairing three times.

Adam and Somna Are Starting to Shift the Meta

• Teams built around the Steel Storm War Flag are also being explored. However, since the flag does not directly synergize well with either Hero, experimentation is still ongoing.
• More powerful team compositions may emerge in the future.

Titan Battle Outlook

Distortion Titans are beginning to appear in the game, but their real impact in CoW battles will have to wait until the Super Titans Metida are introduced.
