Hero Classes[]
Each Hero Class is unlocked by completing an extra Quest-line from a specific Kingdom. You must complete the original Quest-line before the Hero Class Quest-line becomes available.
Each Class starts at Level 1 and can be upgraded up to Level 20, simply by spending souls.
- Increasing the level adds Skills Bonuses (attack, magic, armor, life) to the Hero.
- Each Class specifies a particular mana color for the Hero's weapon. You only get the magic skill bonus when you choose a hero weapon that uses that mana color.
- Each Class specifies a particular mana color for a Gem Mastery bonus (which may be different than the weapon mana color mentioned above). Each increase to the Hero Class Level gives +1 to the Gem Mastery bonus, up to +20 at Level 20.
- At Hero Class Level 10, the Hero counts as being from a particular Kingdom for Team Bonuses.
- It takes 4100 souls to upgrade each class from Level 1 to Level 20. For a detailed breakdown of souls per level, see Troop Leveling.
Each Hero Class has 7 Talents to unlock by earning victories (Champion Levels) in a team with the Hero, while the Class is selected. Each Talent is unlocked in the Talent Trees section of the "Upgrades". It generally takes your Champion Level plus One to reach your next highest level. For Example, it takes 6 Wins to move from Level 5 to Level 6 (or, 21 Total wins with that Class).
- Champion Level 1 .(1 Win)
- Champion Level 5.(15 Wins)
- Champion Level 10.(55 Wins)
- Champion Level 20.(210 Wins)
- Champion Level 40.(820 Wins)
- Champion Level 70.(2485 Wins)
- Champion Level 100.(5050 Wins)
Hero Class Talents provide an extra skill or boost to a skill to specific type of troops. Each Hero have 3 different Talent however, you can choose to activate only one at a time, at each qualifying Hero Level.
At 250 victories with a Hero with class, a unique Mythic Hero weapon is unlocked (compatible with Hero mana color).
Just like troops, each Hero Class has 3 Traits that you can unlock by spending Traitstones. The 3rd trait for each Hero Class is a unique legendary trait.
