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.

Special build1for specific roles, not for most players
Special11551155
This is a highly specific, niche build used strictly when you are running Shang Ying as a Deputy Garrison commander under a maxed primary defender. Because a deputy's talent tree and active rage skills do not trigger on a wall, her 1st skill is largely wasted. Maxing her 3rd and 4th skills isolates the passive HP increases and specialized garrison AoE protection mechanics needed to hold a structure

Leave Active Skill and Skill 2 at Lv 1.
There is a lot of sweetspots in his skill setup that you can use if you're not planning to fully max all skills out that make sense.
