This is the ultimate guide for the Mauler faction.

Which Mauler hero should you ascend first?

This is the best Mauler ascension priority list:

➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜  ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜

The best initial wishlist for early game players is: , but swap Warek and Brutus with Skreg and Crassio after you get Warek and Brutus’ first copies. Warek and Brutus can be very useful even at Elite ascension. Brutus is arguably the best tank for early Campaign because of his invencibility shield, but you should NOT ascend him. He works fine at Elite ascension, there are several more relevant maulers that you should ascend first. Numisu, Safiya, and Anoki can also be pretty useful at Elite ascension. Granit does not need to be higher than Mythic. All he needs is his Lvl 30 signature.

PS: To check which awakened mauler hero you should ascend first, check our Temple of Time guide.

F-tier Maulers

Do not invest on Satrana, Vurk, and Khasos. The maximum investment you should put into these heroes is signature level 10 or 20, in case you have a lot of emblems left in your bag.
