## Key points

- Use tank, support, two healers and Hacker for Tier 3.
- Knight and Chef are key recommended picks.
- Lower tiers can favour an extra damage dealer.

## Summary

Destructoid recommends a balanced five-character team for the toughest Tier 3 runs in *How Many Dudes?*, built around a tank, support, two healers and one damage dealer. The guide argues this composition improves survivability and control, although lower-tier runs may benefit from swapping the support character for a second damage dealer.

- Tank: Knight is preferred for taunting five nearby enemies every three seconds; Warlock is an alternative with damage storage, a 25% release chance and a three-second taunt.
- Support: Assassin applies stackable toxins that reduce enemies’ attack power by 5% for five seconds, up to three stacks.
- Healers: Chef can prepare four healing burgers, while Cleric emits a healing pulse every two seconds.
- Damage: Hacker gains an Exploit every four seconds and can grant teammates a 100% damage boost.
