How To Build A Mobile RPG Party That Doesn't Fall Apart

Most mobile RPGs let you build a party, and most of us do it wrong at first — me included. The temptation is to stack your favorite characters and hope for the best. That works until a fight punishes you for having no healer.

The trick is to think in roles before you think in favorites. One character to soak damage, one to fix it, one to deal it, and something flexible. Fill those slots and the rest is style points.

Don't over-invest in one hero too early, either. Mobile games love to hand you a shiny new unit right after you dumped everything into someone else. Spread your upgrades until you're sure of your core.

Finally, read the passive abilities. That's where the real synergy hides, and it's what separates a party that survives from one that folds on the first boss.
