Each Troop in Gems of War has a Role assigned to help players and our Suggest-A-Team feature build teams. The Roles also determine which Skill Points a Troop will gain when you enhance it with Medals.
Overview
Troops can only have a single Role, which represents a Troop’s most common purpose in the game.
For example: Gorgotha is both a good frontline Troop and Mana Generator. His primary purpose is as frontline troop though, so he is classified as a Defender.
You can see a Troop's Role on their card as a symbol next to their Troop type.
You can filter for specific Roles in the Troop menu and also use the Troop Role filter as a quick in game reference for what each Role's symbol is.
