Quick overview

Start with a coherent build, test it on Challenging, and make sure your damage, survivability, ammo, and revive plan work together. Heroic preparation is about repeatable clears, not copying a damage number from another agent.

Detailed route

What to do, step by step

Use this order when you are in-game. It expands the overview with the checks and choices that keep the route on track.

  1. Choose one role and remove pieces that do not support its damage, skill, or support loop.
  2. Test the build on Challenging and fix the first failure you notice before raising difficulty.
  3. Carry a reliable weapon fallback, armor or repair option, and enough ammo for the mission length.
  4. Agree on revive, crowd-control, and focus-fire habits if you are running with a group.
  5. Run one familiar Heroic mission first and record what actually slows the team down.

Key details

Before you commit

  • Heroic enemy damage and mission mechanics punish gaps in a build more than one imperfect attribute roll.
  • Mission balance, talents, and recommended builds can change; re-test after major updates.
