| Deploy 3 Heroes from one Faction and 2 from another | 10% HP, ATK and DEF |
| Deploy 4 Heroes from the same Faction | 15% HP, ATK and DEF |
| Deploy 5 Heroes from the same Faction | 20% HP, ATK and DEF |

Using the Lord in a formation
The Lord counts as any faction and automatically matches the current lineup to grant the strongest faction Buff.
The formation bonus is separate from bonuses restricted to Tribe, Legion or Ranger Heroes by buildings, research or individual skills. Read those effects separately.
When faction buffs become available
Hero Faction buffs available after the first Capital Siege
A formation bonus does not account for skill synergy, stars or equipment. Keep your strongest available Heroes and their combat roles in mind as well.
