Skill Order

Upgrading the skills of your hero is probably the part where you can gain the most value – or optimize value – since higher skill level upgrade their abilities linear (for example gain 5% of stats per level) but the costs are getting higher and higher. We have designed ideal upgrade sweetspots for every player that will help you pick how far you should upgrade your hero without overspending. That means you can use resources for other heroes that you might have invested in skills not really needed for your cause.

Maxing his active healing/resistance skill first while keeping his garrison HP (skill 2), infantry defense/healing received (skill 3), and physical damage buff (skill 4) at level 1. This makes him immediately viable as an open-field tank and PvE behemoth tank without wasting universal tokens.

Best Troop Types

Troop types depend, if you use him as a tank outcity of your city or any garrison, use Infantry troops and stick to one of the talent builds I have below. In a garrison you have normally mixed troop types so you don’t have to mind much there.

Best Hero Pairing for Garwood

Nika

Hosk

Madeline

Bakhar

Eliana
Eliana
Theia
Theia

Nika is a pairing you might want to use if you’re out there in theopen field looking for trouble and Garwood can stay alive a long time while Nika deals great damage and both are about Infantry Units, so they go quite well with each other (See full build here).

Hosk has great universal buffs and can go a long way with Garwood if you exclude the fact here that he is not easy or cheap to obtain (See full build here).

Madeline is along Garwood probably the msot tanky legion pairing you can run – Garwood will heal, Madeline will shield and you use counterattack damage and stay alive as long as possible. This is also the pairing if you#re the main tank in a raid against Behemoths (See full build here).

Bakhar is a great basic pairing if you pull Garwood early as he will increase all damage and Garwood brings the durability and you can even hide your Bakhar es epic behind Garwood to not get a target on your back right away (See full build here).

Eliana is not the first hero that comes in mind but actually with her shielding there is more synergy with Garwood than meets the eye and they are also a great pairing in the earlier stages (See full build here).

Theia is more like a tech pariring as she has shield that helps but you’re missing out on all other synergies (See full build here).

Best Artifacts

Let’s now take a look at the numerous artifacts that you can possible use. We have tested many of them and some have amazing synergy and others are more in for the stats but no matter what artifacts you have possibly available, you will find the one that works best. Please also check out the full tier list of all artifacts here to see which ones are worth the invest in general.

Dragon Scale Armor provides area damage which goes really well with Garwood as you often times are facing several enemy legions hitting you so you can get great value there. Springs of Silence provides area damage which goes really well with Garwood as you often times are facing several enemy legions hitting you so you can get great value there.

Best Pet Synergies For Garwood (NEW)

With the new war pet system in Call of Dragons it’s aso important to pair Garwood with the right pet to gain more synergies. Please also check out the full tier list of all war pets in Call of Dragons here to see which ones are worth the invest in general.

Venomous Lizard
is the perfect war pet for Garwood as he will normally get shielded through synergies and hit a lot and then you can turn back a ton of damage
Stripebear
will increase your Hp when you get hit and as you get hit all the time you will have basically apermanentn boost here
Sand Lizard
is the third war pet choice for Garwood for me as you can heal other lagions around you
