So, I decided to give you a snapshot of the meta and what teams work, from earlier stages to the best team setup right now so every player will find something here to build a team that will push your progress.
Team Building in Z Route: Redemption – Intuition VS The Meta
So, you have two front row positions to fill and 3 back row positions – obviously you might think that 2 tanks and 3 damage dealer or 2 tanks + 2 damage dealer + 1 support hero is the way to go. But the way new heroes come to the game and the numbers are calculated, the trend goes more towards using rather 3-4 tanks that block damage since surviving is often more important than dealing damage and the more your tanks hold up, the better your damage dealer(s) can do their work. Even some setups use just 5 tank heroes. But be aware this is more for end-game players than for players that play Z Route: Redemption for a couple days or weeks.
Below I have a couple of setups that are popular in Z Route: Redemption right now for the plain and simple reason that they work the best.
What Are The Best Team Formations in Z Route: Redemption?
So, let’s not waste more time and just dive into the formations that I recommend. The formations are sorted from top (best) to more budget-friendly and early-game friendly options. The game revolves around the Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanic: Warrior > Assault > Tactical > Warrior. Because of the 20% stat bonus for a full 5-hero squad of the same type, the meta usually shifts from Tanks (early game) to Aircraft (mid-to-late game).
Check out our new tool that let you exclude heroes you haven’t built (yet) and see how that dynamically changes your best squad lineup!
Conclusion
We hope our new tool helps you build your squads if you are not sticking 100% to the recommended setups that mostly involve heavy investment into paid heroes. If you have an further ideas please let us know in the comments.
