[Hero Wars Guide]Peech May Appear

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.

Peech May Appear

• 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.

The Age of Diversity

• 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.

Looking ahead

• 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.
