Here are some of the characters who work really well with Hercule.

MONO RED

Mono red is a color option that I’m not too ecstatic about. I prefer not to go all in into one color, but this would give Hercule the max amount of z ability buffs and the team would have some crazy z ability synergy between color synergy and the other two battle characters you choose. There are a bunch of strong options here, so I’ll just list a couple of ones that I think could work.

A possible mono red team.

Zamasu/Cell/Hercule with 3 dual buffs on bench.

Broly/Gogeta/Hercule with 2 dual buffs on bench plus a Saiyan buff of your choice.

RRG

Double red opens up your build for more diversity but, also means you need to really maximize synergy between your green unit and your second red unit. These are some ideas.

Zamasu/Hercule/Beerus with 2 red buffs and Godku on bench. This gives you a great deal of red buffs and also gives you God buffs for Zamasu, Godku and Beerus.

Zamasu/Hercule/Tailgeta with 3 red buffs. Tailgeta does not really need buffs as he can inflate his strike damage via his main ability and his green card. Also, this becomes the most godlike immortal team due to all of them having the endurance unique ability.

A very tanka and true immortal team.

Zamasu/Hercule/Mai with 2 red buffs and a future buff of your choice. Zamasu only buffs future tag if he’s lower than 5 star, so this is a good way to make sure that your green character gets a buff as well. This is actually a very strong lineup but your damage becomes very reliant on Zamasu. That said, running Future Gohan or Goku Black on bench allows you to transition into a standard future team at the cost of more z ability synergy for your future units. Zamasu will be beast though.

A RRG team with a Future squad on side.

Zamasu/Hercule/Piccolo with 2 red buffs and Janemba on bench. A 5 star Janemba will give dual buffs to the regen tag, buffing both Picollo and Zamasu. The issue here is that we dont’ know if Picollo’s buffs will include a dual Z ability, however, we are sure that Picollo will once again be a viable unit with his buffs. The good thing about this lineup is that if the matchup calls for it, you can transition this team into the perfect color wheel of PRG (Janemba/Zamasu/Picollo). Like the future team however, Zamasu will be very strong while Janemba and Picollo will suffer from only 3 regen buffs. I’d only advise this with a 5 star Zamasu as well, since that is when his z ability helps regeneration chars.

Take advantage of the new Picollo and run Regen on the side.

Fury Broly or Gogeta/Hercule/Tailgeta with 2 red buffs and raditz or ex green Vegeta. EX Vegeta now has a dual z ability which gives HP. That’s good enough to make him an incredibly viable bench unit, especially since he will be buffing the health of your saiyans and a second buff to your Tailgeta.

Saiyan and color synergies all around.

TRI COLOR

Tri color lineups give a lot more flexibility in team building, however, this kills all the z ability focus that you would normally put for a team. In these teams, Hercule acts as a pure support character, and gives up all possible synergies who could’ve gained from bench units. I’d also recommend staying away from tags like saiyans or female warriors, since those teams are already thoroughly fleshed out. Adding Hercule does very little for those teams due to the power creep of the newer unique abilities. Instead, this section will focus on teams that could use a versatile red.

RYG

Hercule/Frieza/Ginyu, Tailgeta or Dodoria with a Frieza Force bench. This team starts Hercule, lets him eat some damage early to activate Champion’s call, then forces him out. The added damage to your other two units should hopefully be enough to carry your team to victory. Additionally, Ginyu gives you a second green card, meaning more times to destroy all cards with Hercule!

Frieza Force can play GGY or RYG

Now, this can act as an alternate team for your existing Frieza Force team. Most Frieza Force teams will likely run GGY (Ginyu, Tailgeta, Frieza) so bringing a red unit would indicated some hard counters to Saiyans or greens, that would deter you from running your typical setup. And if you choose to still run GGY, then Hercule is there on the bench to still provide the discounted blue cards.

BRP

I could not come up with a good team to run with this color scheme and Hercule in the middle. Obvious choices are like Kaioken and SS3 Goku, or Broly and SSJ Bardock, but like I said earlier, Hercule does not add enough to those teams to make them any more viable than they already are. He is more like a puzzle piece to help flesh out teams that perhaps aren’t currently all there right now.

PGR

Purple Broly, IT Goku and Hercule with EX Green Vegeta, SS3 Goku and EX Raditz on bench (SSJ Bardock is a decent bench option as well). I played a similar team before Purple Broly came out and won purely off of abusing the extra super card with IT Goku. Game plan was pretty simple — keep IT Goku fed with super cards and hope for faint. When you get the faint, get the damage with your Broly. This team is very strong defensively due to the escape mechanics. IT Goku gives you two chances to completely dodge combos, Hercule gives you endurance to survive rising rush, and Broly has a self heal. You save all green cards for Hercule. Remember that you can use green cards offensively too. It destroys your cards as well, so if you have a hand of ki blasts, you can use your green card to remove all those cards from hand and dig deeper towards finding your blue or strike cards.

Looks low tier but I promise you, it’s surprisingly fun and potent.

IT Goku still suffers from some bad all around stats, so I think it’s important to make sure that you have double saiyan buffs where you can. This is one of the most fun teams in the game undoubtedly. It is RNG-heavy, and lets face it, IT Goku just doesn’t have the greatest offensive throughput. However, playing with a blue card on IT Goku is like playing with two vanishes. This is the best pairing synergy-wise for Hercule. Give it a try if you have this team.
