Valiant Force Forum

Hello! A little bit of introduction, I'm Ferico and I just started the game around 6-8 days ago and im hooked up with game. Really planning to invest my time and resources as valiant force gave me a new experience in mobile strategy RPG game.

Anyway, after figuring out how gameplay works, I've noticed that healer class doesn't do much both in PVE and PVP, well at least in early stage (currently 27), I only have Luthor (3*) with Ares faith (lol) and currently planning an all-out offense team composed of Darrion (4*-Zeus Zealot), Vincent (4*Zeus Lancer), Kai (4*Ares Kensei), Aaron (4*Ares Hunter), and Zedd (3*Athena Mage)

I've been focused with my offense characters and game resources are depleting so I have to plan carefully which one to progress first. My questions, including the topic title, are as follows:

1.) Is the healer class essential in the game? Mid-game? Late-game? PVE/PVP?
2.) Given that my Luthor has Ares faith, which class path is recommended I take on him?
3.) In my 4 offense characters, Im leaning towards darrion to progress first as he is one of the valiants. Am I doing it correctly?
4.) I really love Aaron but seeing him limits at 4*, which character (and faith) is a good substitute for him that can progress to 5*?
5.) Anyone knows a website which have the concept arts of the characters beside the official site? Hehe.

Thank you in advance!

1. Yes, healer is very important later in the game. They are a must have for certain strategies and in many battles, save your potion supplies. In the arena, healer is still a popular choice even after a few patches that kept nerfing their healing power.

2. The best class for Ares Luthor is spirit walker imo, but the class is the worst at healing among all of Luthor possible paths. So keep rolling for more heroes, in case you get a better one.

3. I normally focus on training and upgrading a dps class before the tank, but since you arent training up a healer any time soon, you can do Darrion first.

4. Kane (valiant) and Cybella with Ares/Hera depending on the class.

5. I wanna know one too.

1) Healer class is not specifically good or bad. But strategically placing them next to guardians, especially those with receive damage and heal auras or heal per turn auras really make guardians survive. Also, those with heal per turn auras free up using skill to heal, so that's slightly more damage in addition to the survivability.
2) For Luthor, I would say normally Inquisitor/Archbishop is the best. Still, with an Ares faith, damage is higher, which makes SpiritWalker (with HoT activate attack aura) better in comparison.
3) I would say Kai first, as damage + multi strike = faster wipe enemy from map, which will be good for event and gold digging as well. Vincent also works, as both of his post lancer classes give really good damage. Darrion... well, unless you are challenging Legendary now, he doesn't have too much problems with Heroic, so I would personally put him after Vincent and Kai.
4) As suggested by Razk, Kane and Cybella are good choices.
5) Sadly, no idea.

I really appreciated both of your responses and my direction for the game is now clear.

I  now understand that healer is still strategical in gameplay. I've watched some videos clearing Legendary 24-3 with a Luthor Archbishop as a pivotal character in keeping the party alive!
But since my Luthor has Ares faith, I will go with the Spirit Walker path as recommended by you two amazing people (Really curious how this class works). I will wait to summon a luthor with a better faith for archbishop class.
Yep, I am now aware that I have to prioritize my DPS classes which are Kai and Vincent. 

THANK YOU!

For Spirit Walker Luthor, his skill is a heal over time + move enemy, with aura having a chance of activating attack everytime an ally is healed. So, with high attack, and an ally that has heal per turn aura, SW Luthor is the best for the Ares Faith.

First and foremost, welcome to VF Ferico! I'm sure the community will help and guide you if you need help. Pretty sure you will frequent a few rurounins a lot in the forum if you drop by often.
1. Healer is essential throughout the game for sustaining your parties in their best and fittest state when fighting by removing status to shielding and healing them. You will find it difficult to progress at a certain point because your damage simply isn't enough to defeat the opponents when the difficulty ceiling is higher. PVP wise you have to decide for yourself if you're playing a "Show Hand" or not. If "Show Hand", then it's pretty much a full straight offensive tactic.
2. Faith can be reroll if you don't like it but different jobs benefit from different faith. Ares means your hero has a higher base attack. By analysing your hero's aura, skills and tactic you pretty much should know where your Luthor should go. Someone already mentioned Spirit Walker so yeah.
3. Valiant heroes are hard to come by. They are valiant for a reason because their base stats are higher. it's never wrong to focus on Valiant but the thing is priority. If you have too many champions or attackers, what are you lacking in terms of offense and defense?
4. Kane (Valiant), Cybella (5 Star Potential). Heroes who are 5 stars potential are normally end game heroes but it doesn't mean your 4 stars are completely useless.
5. Well.. I'm not sure. Maybe FP or B7 will release in the future to support the artists?

Thank you very much, jayle! It's been a while since I joined a very friendly game community. Looking forward to being the helper in the next few months hehe
To be honest, this thread made me realize how healers and their unique gameplay for each class advancement play a vital role in different set-ups/goals. Im really excited collecting other Luthors/Theresa, and hopefully Lucille, with various faiths! I wanna have all of their characterrsssss!
Anyway, more or less, you have a similar perspective with the previous veterans so I must say thank you also for re-assuring my directions in the game.

Rock on!

My ass have been kicked by 3-healers combo as well (of different jobs) in the arena. Damn those healers.
