Heroes
Best Warlock heroes
Every Warlock hero in Last Asylum: Plague, ranked by how often the top squads pick them.
Here’s every Warlock hero in the game, ranked by how often they turn up in the top 1,000 squads in my research at Sanctuary 20. I fought every possible squad of five against the others, with every hero built the way they usually are at that Sanctuary level. It’s a very good guide, but it isn’t the game itself, so treat the ranking as a strong hint.
A hero’s place can change as your game goes on, so each one also shows how often they’re picked at Sanctuary 6 and 30. Tap a hero for their partners, skill order and where to get their shards.

Making the most of Warlocks
- Warlock heroes take 20% less damage from Ranger heroes.
- Warrior heroes take 20% less damage from Warlocks, so they’re a tougher target for you.
- Heroes of the same faction boost each other’s HP, ATK and DEF in fights: 3 of a kind +5% (+10% if the other 2 also match), 4 of a kind +15%, all 5 +20%.
- Warlock Statue: Gives every Warlock hero CMD, HP, ATK and DEF. Worth it when your main squad has Warlocks in it; otherwise it can wait.
- Warlock Mastery research: Late-game boosts for Warlock heroes. Late game, if your main squads lean on Warlocks.
