Talents and Abilities
The Trainer hero in Rush Royale has 4 talents/abilities that can be unlocked.
Each talent can be unlocked as you reach certain level requirements:
- Companion – Unlocked when you obtain the card
- Combat Training – Unlocked when the card reaches level 5
- Team Boost – Unlocked when the card reaches level 10
- Explosive Surprise – Unlocked when the card reaches level 15
Each talent/ability can level up your gameplay and make your hero much more powerful. We will take a look at all of this card’s talents/abilities in more detail below:
Companion
The first ability that is unlocked on the Trainer hero is the Companion skill. This costs 800 morale and will summon a dummy to the field which blocks any monsters that try to pass for a period of time. This block applies to both normal monsters and bosses.
The duration of the dummy is increased as you level up the Trainer hero.
Combat Training
The next ability that is unlocked when your hero reached level 5 is Combat Training.
Once you have unlocked Combat Training it will increase the attack speed of your unit whilst the dummy is placed on the field.
This attack speed increase can be increased as you level up the Trainer hero.
Team Boost
The third talent modifier that is unlocked when the Trainer hero reaches level 10 is the Team Boost talent.
This increases the damage dealt by your units placed on the field by a certain percentage.
Explosive Surprise
The final skill that is unlocked at hero level 15 is the Explosive Surprise skill.
The Explosive Surprise ability will cause your dummy to explode once the active ability’s effect ends. The dummy will explode and deal a large amount of damage to the area around it.
At this point, the Trainer hero reaches its full potential and in turn, becomes quite powerful.
Battle Whistle
The Battle Whistle is a legendary item that can be equipped with the Trainer hero card to improve the ability of the card and increase the duration of effects.
The Battle Whistle increased the duration of your dummy placement by 2%, increased the amount of damage caused by the Explosive Surprise by 20%, and during Combat Training the amount of damage is increased to 25%.
Once unlocked, you can equip this item to your hero the normal way you would equip a weapon, amulet, or piece of armor.

Gameplay experience
We used the Trainer hero in a number of different decks in both PvP and Co-Op modes of the game, we thought the card was effective overall and benefitted us in several scenarios. This combined with the fact it is one of the easiest hero cards to upgrade makes it a viable option for many players.
Saving the dummy placement for bosses was our best method of using the card especially if both players are faced with a boss that they cannot defeat. This can win you games as you delay the boss on your side passing through the portal.
The only time we found card placement difficult and not as effective was when we matched up with another player using the Trainer card. In these scenarios, it would become a standoff as to who would use the dummy first to delay the boss passing through the portal.
As the card reaches the higher levels and the Battle Whistle is obtained it becomes even more effective and will give you the edge in some matches. Using the card in Co-Op matches can also give you and your partner valuable time to defeat bosses on the track.
Overall in our opinion, the Trainer card is the most effective out of the common hero cards (Trainer and Bestie). If you are looking for a card that will give your powerful attacks to assist with enemies you may want to try out the Elementalist hero.
