Builds and element synergies

There is no level cap on heroes in the studio's own pitch. The 14 Aug 2026 playtest post says heroes can level without limits and that auto battle keeps them growing. A store screenshot of Mag Ranger at a five-figure level matches that pitch. It does not mean every hero scales the same way. No post publishes a per-level table.

What is safe to copy

Poison, still a section and not its own page

Bog Demon and Toxmaster are poison-tagged names on the hero table, and a public guide talks about damage-over-time teams. I do not have a second independent source that names a specific poison pairing and an effect. Until that exists, poison stays a named element on the hero rows, not a build guide. I would rather omit the page than invent a rotation.

Captains sit in their own slots. Ice Captain is the one a patch note describes, via the skill name Frost Hammer Shock. Sun God and Toxic Blood are also in studio material. I am not assigning them as "best in slot" for a damage type. The tier page explains the grouping I am willing to publish.

Questions

What is the best build in Legend of Defenders?

The only combo a pre-launch post walks through is Cryomancer with the Fire Tree turret. Other elements have names. They do not yet have a second source for a specific team.

Do heroes stop leveling?

The playtest announcement says they do not. A screenshot shows a very high Mag Ranger level. No post prints a cap for hero levels. Castle level is a different number and was raised to 150 in a playtest note.
