Best Heroes and Line Ups in Last Fortress Underground

Only the best for the job.

While Last Fortress: Underground features a number of heroes at its disposal, not all are made the same. In fact, you need to find the characters that suit each other’s strengths. Just like a line-up RPG, there are certain characters or heroes that are better suited for battle and get along with some of their equals better than others. For that reason, today we will talk about the best heroes and lineups in Last Fortress: Underground.

Best Heroes and Line Ups

Basically, in order to get the most out of your line-ups there are a couple of things you must take into account in order to successfully bring the best heroes in the game and defend your underground settlement from the zombie hoards. Heroes are divided into 5 factions in the game: Minutemen, Vindicators, Watchers, Wildlings, and Solari. Since the Solari is heroes that can only help inside your fortress, then we will only take the first 4 factions into account for line-ups. So you can disregard this faction.

Just like every other game, lining up heroes from the same faction will provide additional boosts that you will use to your advantage to face the enemy. Each faction has a leader, which will boost your line-up as well, and they are the following:

  • Benson (Minutemen): damage bonus.
  • Blanche (Vindicators): damage bonus.
  • Marlen (Wildlings): damage and health bonus.
  • Roland (Watchers): damage mitigation and health bonus.

Roland and Marlen in particular prove to be essential, given their focus on both damage and health.

Best Damage Dealing Heroes

As you can imagine, these heroes provide the most damage output in the game. Be sure to place them anywhere from the third to the fifth slot of your line-up. We recommend Benson from the Minutemen or someone like Cloud to help beef up your lineup.
