How does combat work in Hero’s Hour?
Commands
Hero’s Hour is an auto battler, so the units will attack and move independently. But you canplace your troopsbefore the battle begins andissue commands throughout combat. You can click and drag enemies to place them on the field. Give commands via three different methods:
At the bottom right, you have the option to command your units todefend or attack. Defend will cause your units to stay back and not engage the enemy, while attack will command them to charge and attack enemies.
Heroes
During combat, your hero plays a role in battle. They can be commanded just like your army andcast spellsby selecting one at the bottom of the screen. They can also issue the command toretreatby pressing thewhite flagat the bottom of the screen.
Flow of combat
Tracking the flow of combat is done at the top of the screen by thecolored bar. If you are winning, the color of your bar will push closer to the enemy, and vice versa if you are losing. What units are on the field and how many die in battle are tracked by their icons to the left and right of this bar.
Fielded army and reserves
Sometimesyour army is too large to fieldall at once, andsome units must beleft in your reserves. The game will automatically select which units to place on the field, but you can switch out units from the field and your reserves before the battle starts. If you lose enough units, you can also pull more units from your reserves during battle.
