| While it may be viable to use any hero combinations to push through stages in lower difficulties, for higher difficulties the current meta is to use a **pusher** hero, 1-2 **support** heroes and 2-3 **DPS** heroes. In UV1-3 the best pusher hero is the [[heroes:commando|Commando]] with his vortex trap ability that can easily gather enemies and stop their advances while the DPS heroes kill them inside the vortex. Currently in UV4 the Commando hero became hidden and is replaced with the Brawler hero so other methods of pushing may be brainstormed. Try to stay and keep up with the team if you don't know what you're doing. | While it may be viable to use any hero compositions to push through stages in lower difficulties, for higher difficulties the current meta is to use a **pusher** hero, 1-2 **support** heroes and 2-3 **DPS** heroes.
