Which heroes are better for settlement defense? Brawler Ash vs Brooke and Hunters Zoe vs Tyler. I can’t buy all

Reply to  Eli

Ash is better than Brooke for settlement defense, but Brooke is better offensively (and still pretty good defensively, since she buffs Infantry attack/defense by 391% instead of 300%).

Tyler is better than Zoe at pretty much everything.

If you have to pick one set, I’d go with the tier V heroes (Brooke/Tyler/Julie) instead of tier III (Ash/Zoe/Miho).
