Last Asylum: Plague

Squads

Best free-to-play squad

The strongest squad you can build without spending, at three points in the game, and where to find each hero.

Can you build a strong squad without spending a cent? Yes. I fought every possible squad of five against the others and ranked them all, then picked out the best squad made only of heroes you can get and star up for free.

Here it is at three points in the game, Sanctuary 6, Sanctuary 20 and Sanctuary 30, with where it ranks, what one small purchase does for it, and where each hero’s shards come from.

The squad at each stage

Every hero built the same way at each stage, so it’s a fair fight.

At Sanctuary 6

Every hero at level 30 and 1★ with SSR gear, T3 troops, and no Raven or research yet.

At Sanctuary 20

Every hero at level 100 and 5★ with UR gear, T7 troops, and a half-grown Raven and research.

At Sanctuary 30

Every hero at level 150 and 10★ with UR gear, T10 troops, a Lv 85 Raven and plenty of research.

Get the most from a free squad

Free and budget players get ahead by spending what they gather on purpose.

  • One main squad first. Five heroes get the EXP, Skill Books and gear. Everyone else waits their turn.
  • Carries first, Tanks just enough. Your damage wins the fight; Tanks only need to keep the back row alive.
  • Skill Books in order. Level the skills that matter and leave the rest at level 1. Each hero’s page tells you which.
  • Research with a purpose. Combat research goes into the squad that fights, gathering research into the squads that gather. Never spread it evenly.
  • Gear on the main squad only: Weapon and Gloves on Carries, Chest and Boots on Tanks.
  • Save for the right day. Speed-ups, shards and Stamina are worth far more in the event that scores them.
