Top 10 Legendary Heroes from Godforge Quest

Introduction

The game hasn't launched yet! Choosing your legendary hero from Godforge Quest is your first major decision before Godforge even releases. This exclusive pre-launch mini-game lets you secure ONE top-tier legendary hero that will be waiting for you on day one - giving you a massive head start.

Unlike other gachas where legendary heroes are locked behind brutal RNG, Godforge Quest guarantees you ONE S-tier legendary hero of your choice BEFORE launch. You'll start the game with:

• 1 Legendary (your Quest choice)
• 1 Starter Hero (Guan Yu, Lady Xoc, or Ramses - you choose at launch)
• Isolde (speculated early campaign reward)
• 2-3 heroes from standard summoning (likely common epics/rares)

This legendary will carry your early game, unlock difficult content, and define your team-building strategy. Since you'll be pairing it with mostly common/rare heroes initially, think about synergy and versatility - not just raw power.

Important Note: Only non-Eternal affinity legendary heroes are available through Godforge Quest (with Hel as the sole exception). Eternal affinity legendaries like Zeus, Sphinx, and Pangu can only be obtained through standard summoning after launch.
