In Paper Bastion, heroes fight and use their skills automatically. Your job begins earlier: build a squad and place each hero where their role allows them to fight effectively.
A shield warrior takes hits on the front line, an archer fires from a tower, and support heroes work from the rear. Some fighters fit several positions. Where you place them shapes how their abilities contribute to the defense.
Between waves you can change your squad and formation, bring in reserves and spend gold on upgrades. Your commander supports the squad with skills, while combinations of heroes, equipment and relics give each run its own character.
The first heroes received their own combat abilities and effects in October. This foundation is working in the game, and we continue to tune battle pacing, visual clarity and the balance between different squads.
