Heracross

How to use Heracross in Champions

Heracross fills a physical attacker niche on Champions ranked teams. With a 66-stat-point budget (max 32 per stat), most builds pour 32 into Attack and HP, then fine-tune Speed in steps of 2 to sit just above or below the metagame's common numbers.

Defensively it is hurt hardest by Fire, Flying, Psychic, Fairy, while resisting Grass, Fighting, Ground, Bug. Check the Bug page for the full matchup math behind those numbers.
