Heroes

Heroes are the lifeblood of Hero Wars – Fantasy Battles as they are the ones who’ll do the fighting for you. Each hero has a position, main hero stat, role, faction, and a unique set of skills.

The position tells you where they will be placed during battle. They can either be at the back line, middle line, or front line. The main hero stat tells you what the hero’s default highest stat is. A hero has eight stats, and these are:

• Intelligence
• Agility
• Strength
• Health
• Physical Attack
• Magic Attack
• Armor
• Magic Defense

The role gives you an idea on the combat capabilities of the hero and how they should be used. There are several roles in Hero Wars – Fantasy Battles, and these are: Healer, Tank, Warrior, Marksman, Support, Control, and Mage. Note that a hero can have more than one role. Lastly, the faction tells you which faction they belong to.

Each hero has a unique set of skills composed of attacks or boosts that help in defeating enemies. When you summon a hero, the first out of four skills in their set is unlocked. You will need to unlock the other three by ranking them up to green rank, blue rank, and violet rank in that order. Heroes can be upgraded by levelling up and eventually you can promote them to these higher ranks once their level is high enough and you have collected enough of their soul stones.

Heroes can also wear gear to improve their stats. They can equip up to six gear items and each gear affects a different stat. Gear items have level requirements built into them so make sure your hero is of a certain level before equipping them with one. You can acquire more gear by playing through the main campaign.

New heroes can be acquired by collecting their soul stones. Soul stones can be acquired by opening a Heroic Chest which can be unlocked either for free (one free chest is given every day) of by paying with Emeralds (premium currency). You can access the Heroic Chest menu by clicking on the gold chest beside the Merchant. 

Campaign

The campaign is where you can play through the story of the game. It consists of various chapters with each chapter containing several stages. Every stage must be cleared to proceed to the next chapter.

In each stage, you can select up to five heroes to deploy. The objective is to clear all three waves of enemies without all heroes dying. All basic attacks are done automatically, and each successful attack fills up a hero’s skill meter. Once full, they can use their skill and unleash a powerful attack on enemies or boost to other heroes. The activation of their skill can be manually or automatically activated.

Upon completing a stage, you earn several rewards and up to three stars depending on your performance. You can preview the rewards that you can get before starting the stage as well as the enemies you’ll face and what their levels are. Additionally, you can reclaim a stage’s rewards without having to replay it when you have a VIP subscription or a Golden Raid Ticket.

By earning enough stars, you can unlock opportunities to collect bonus rewards. You must solve a simple puzzle first before claiming the bonus rewards. To solve the puzzle, you must drag several gates in the correct order to ensure that the pile of coins lands on the hero while avoiding contact with hazards (i.e., lava).
