:man_superhero: Hero Advancement – Level Up Your Heroes and Earn Massive Rewards

Heroes play a crucial role in Last War: Survival, and during the Hero Advancement phase of Arms Race, you can earn tons of points by focusing on advancing your heroes. Whether it’s through leveling them up, recruiting new heroes, or improving their stats, every little effort counts when it comes to maximizing your rewards during this phase.


:dart: What Is Hero Advancement?

Hero Advancement is all about growing and developing your heroes. This phase rewards you for:

  • Leveling up your heroes
  • Recruiting new heroes
  • Improving hero abilities and gear

When you push your heroes to higher levels or recruit new ones, you’ll earn Hero Advancement points. These points contribute to your overall progress during Arms Race and can make a significant difference in your overall score.


:medal_sports: Focus on Hero Leveling

The more you level up your heroes, the more points you can earn. But don’t just rush to level up heroes haphazardly—focus on heroes that will provide the best value during the Hero Advancement phase.

Key Hero Types to Focus On:

  • Main heroes: Your primary heroes are the ones you should focus on leveling first. Their stats and abilities will provide the biggest boost in combat and other phases.
  • Specialty heroes: If your army benefits from certain hero types (e.g., offense or defense), prioritize leveling those.
  • Hero synergies: Heroes that have synergies with your units or strategy can provide even more value.

Tip:

Leveling heroes up to their next significant tier (i.e., from level 10 to 20, or 20 to 30) gives you a substantial point boost during Hero Advancement.


:boom: Recruit New Heroes for Extra Points

Recruiting new heroes during the Hero Advancement phase is another way to boost your point total. Recruiting a hero is quick and rewarding, especially if you have the resources to do so.

To maximize this:

  1. Keep an eye on hero recruitment events: These events may give you extra rewards or bonuses when you recruit specific heroes.
  2. Focus on rare heroes: Rare or epic heroes tend to have better stats and abilities, making them a great long-term investment.
  3. Recruit strategically: Don’t just recruit random heroes—pick those that enhance your army or provide bonuses for Arms Race phases.

:hammer_and_wrench: Improving Hero Abilities and Gear

It’s not just about leveling up. Improving hero abilities and gears can make your heroes even more powerful. Here’s how to do it efficiently:

  • Enhance abilities: Focus on heroes that have abilities that complement your overall strategy (e.g., damage boosters, defensive heroes, healers).
  • Upgrade gear: Ensure that your heroes’ gear is up-to-date and effective. Upgrading gear improves your hero’s stats and makes them more competitive during Arms Race.

Pro Tip:

Boost your heroes’ abilities early, so when the Hero Advancement phase starts, you’ll already have powerful heroes ready to go, ready for the maximum point payout.


:hourglass_flowing_sand: Timing Your Hero Advancement for Maximum Points

Like the other Arms Race phases, timing is crucial in Hero Advancement. You want to time your hero upgrades so that they finish during the phase, earning you the most points possible. Here’s how to plan:

  1. Level up heroes in advance: Don’t wait until the Hero Advancement phase starts to level up. Have your heroes prepped and ready to go.
  2. Recruit heroes before the phase begins: If you’re planning to recruit new heroes, do it just before the phase starts so you can claim your points when the phase kicks in.
  3. Upgrade gear and abilities during the phase: Focus on hero gear and ability upgrades as the Hero Advancement phase begins. These will count toward your total points.

:abacus: Hero Advancement Strategy: Best Practices

  • Focus on your strongest heroes: Level up and recruit the heroes that will provide the most value in battle and Arms Race.
  • Use your resources wisely: Don’t over-invest in leveling a hero if you don’t have enough resources for a complete upgrade. Prioritize the heroes that will give you the most points.
  • Balance your heroes: Have a mix of offensive, defensive, and utility heroes to maximize your team’s overall power and ability to earn points during multiple phases of Arms Race.
