Best Builds

  • PvP build: use Charles only when your troop type, gear, and partner hero support the same combat plan.
  • PvE build: prioritize consistent clears and event value before niche damage setups.
  • F2P build: delay heavy investment until Charles's shard sources fit your account.

Best Pairings

  • Alcar: similar Infantry or Combat role for formation testing.
  • Amadeus: similar Infantry or Combat role for formation testing.
  • Amane: similar Cavalry or Combat role for formation testing.
  • Use pairings that improve the same battle purpose instead of mixing unrelated bonuses.

Formation Tips

  • Match Charles with Infantry research and gear where possible.
  • Do not judge a formation by power alone; check whether the frontline, damage, and support roles work together.
  • Test before spending rare shards or speedups.

Upgrade Priority

  • Upgrade Charles when the hero is part of your main march or solves a specific PvP, PvE, or event bottleneck.
  • Check source availability before using universal shards.
  • Keep buildings, research, and gear aligned with the hero plan.

Common Mistakes

  • Upgrading only because the hero is Legendary.
  • Ignoring troop type and formation role.
  • Spending shards before checking related heroes and source access.

Story

When Charles was born, the entire kingdom celebrated. The aging king finally had a son and adored him deeply, naming him heir at an early age. If nothing went wrong, Charles would become the youngest king in the kingdom's history. To make him a worthy ruler, countless masters trained him from childhood, teaching him day and night. Charles did not disappoint. He completed nearly every lesson perfectly, raising expectations for the young prince even higher. Charles had a secret he never told anyone—he didn't like this life at all. He didn't want to be king. Compared to dull lessons, he preferred staying in his room, secretly working on his inventions, like the piloted mech he was recently building. He always dreamed that once the mech was complete, he would ride it out of the palace and head somewhere far and free. And this time, he would never come back to this boring kingdom. The mech was soon complete, and the perfect chance to escape appeared. A neighboring kingdom, long at odds with them, suddenly invaded. Chaos spread everywhere—no one would notice him. Charles seized the moment and drove his mech along a route he had practiced countless times. On the way, he saw the teacher he once hated, now standing before enemies to protect civilians. The old butler, who used to stop every few steps to catch his breath, was now fighting with a weapon. The shopkeeper who always gave him snacks lay trembling on the ground… "What does it have to do with me? I finally got my freedom…" Charles muttered inside the mech. Bang! Enemy soldiers were sent flying. A massive figure landed before the invading army. "What is that monster?" Panic spread through their ranks, while cheers erupted in the capital. "It's the prince! He's here to save us!" With Charles leading, the kingdom's army surged with morale. With the mech clearing the way, the tide of battle quickly turned. In less than half a day, the invaders were driven back."Long live the prince!" Wherever Charles went, he was met with cheers. The once dull capital now seemed brighter in his eyes. The palace, once a cage, now felt warm and welcoming. "Maybe this place isn't so bad after all. I'll stay a little longer." That night, with a faint smile, Charles drifted into a peaceful sleep.
