Best team build to use in How Many Dudes?
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.
In short
- 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.
Explained simply
How Many Dudes? is a game in which players assemble a team of characters to fight increasingly difficult groups of enemies. Higher-tier runs put more pressure on a team’s ability to survive while dealing enough damage to win.
The main roles are tank, support, healer and damage dealer. A tank draws enemy attacks, support can weaken opponents, healers restore the team’s health, and damage dealers focus on defeating enemies. The guide’s suggested Tier 3 team uses one tank, one support character, two healers and one damage dealer.
The recommended characters are Knight, Assassin, Chef, Cleric and Hacker, with Warlock offered as another tank option. The team balance matters because tougher runs can punish groups that lack protection or healing; for easier runs, the guide says players may trade the support role for another damage dealer.
