Game Basics
Hero Wars: Alliance is a roleplaying online fantasy game with PvP battles. Starting with the Campaign, you will progress through the game and unlock new mechanics.
If you are new to the game, this guide will help you navigate. You can also find beginner's guides on our official YouTube channel or ask other players for advice in the in-game chat or on our official Discord server.
As a new player, you should take into account three things: collecting the daily bonus rewards, raiding missions, and leveling up your characters. By prioritizing these activities, beginners can build a strong foundation in Hero Wars: Alliance.
1. Collecting Daily Bonus Rewards.
Daily bonus rewards provide players with valuable resources such as gold, Hero Soul Stones, and energy. Consistently collecting these bonuses will contribute to your progress over time, so you can upgrade heroes, buy items, and stay competitive.
2. Raiding Missions.
Raiding missions is an efficient way to gather EXP Potions and essential resources quickly. Raids allow completing Campaign missions instantly. They cost the same amount of energy as a manually completed mission. Once you earn three stars in a mission, you can raid it.
At VIP 0, you can raid missions using the x1 option with Raid Tickets. To earn them:
-
complete the daily quest "Watch 2 short videos";
-
purchase them at the Theater with Theater Tickets.
Once you reach VIP level 1, you receive a Golden Raid Ticket that allows you to raid missions using the x1 option without Raid Tickets.
Once you reach VIP level 5, you unlock repeated Instant Missions. This feature allows you to raid Campaign missions in bulk, either by spending all your energy or using the x3 or x10 options.
By raiding completed missions, you bypass the need to replay them manually but still gain the rewards. Raids help you accumulate gear, gold, and hero EXP — resources you need to strengthen your team and prepare for more challenging battles.
Note
When you raid a mission, your heroes do not obtain experience directly. Instead, you receive EXP Potions, which are stored in your Inventory. You can use them to upgrade any hero of your choice.
3. Leveling Up Your Characters.
The game has two different level systems: team level and character level. Press the name of the level system you wish to learn more about.
Here you can also find a comprehensive guide, addressing common questions and providing helpful information about the game.
Before you start your journey in Dominion, get acquainted with the beings that inhabit it. You will meet unique heroes and titans, who will help you progress through the game. Tap the picture of a character to learn more about them.
You need various resources to advance your characters and progress through the game. Some are essential for the game, and others are used to summon and enhance game characters. For example, you can summon heroes at the Heroic Chest and get artifacts from the Artifact Chest. You can also buy essential resources by spending game currencies in the shops.
Battles are a vital part of gameplay. You can fight manually or on Auto. Arena and Grand Arena are exceptions, as all battles there are fully automatic.
In the manual mode, you decide when the first skills are activated (provided that heroes have enough energy). When you turn on the Auto mode, first skills are automatically activated, once heroes have enough energy.
The second, the third, and the fourth skills activate automatically in both modes. Find out more about the skills here.
Note
Heroes are automatically positioned on the battlefield based on their auto-attack range. You cannot manually adjust their positions.
Some game modes have battles between heroes, and others require a team of titans. How you combine characters in your team can be crucial to the outcome of the fight, so be mindful of your hero combinations. Also, be sure to check out the Beginner's Guide to Combat, Combat System FAQ page, and other articles in the Combat section to find valuable tips on fighting.
Each game mode has its own unique set of rules and gameplay mechanics, thus offering players a diverse range of experiences and valuable rewards.
Players can follow the main story through missions in the Campaign, fight other players in the Arena and Grand Arena, or even join forces with guildmates to compete in the Guild War and Global Championship. Note that game modes unlock gradually when you reach certain team levels. You can find information on all existing game modes and when they unlock here.
Quests are tasks that you need to complete to get rewards. There are daily quests and achievements, each offering different challenges and rewards.
Special events are available for a limited period of time. To get rewards, you need to complete quests. Events usually consist of daily, one-time, or repeatable quest chains.
To keep up with all the events updates, join our official communities:
You can also check out our Upcoming Events article for more information on special events.
You receive rewards and various announcements — about streams, events, gameplay changes, etc. — to your in-game mail.
Letters are stored in your in-game mailbox for a limited time, usually three days. Afterward, any items they contain are permanently deleted. You can find the expiration date at the bottom of the letter.
Make sure to claim rewards as soon as they arrive in your mailbox. Our Support team cannot restore expired letters and rewards.
