Typical HC combo layering

This is for wave composition, not for the number of waves required. It is also meant for single unit type kill, not transition from 1 unit type to another mid-combat (same wave)

When I say Max (whatever unit), I am saying the most your rally spot allows and your hero has the leadership to control

Archers are the only thing that you kill that sending larger waves increases effectivity. If you have a limited supply of >100 leadership heroes, send them in archer killing waves
