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.
Once you reach VIP level 1, you can raid missions using the x1 option. If you are not VIP 1 yet, you still have an opportunity to raid missions with Raid Tickets. To earn them:
-
complete a daily quest "Watch 2 short videos";
-
purchase them at the Theater with Theater Tickets.
Once you reach VIP level 5, you receive a Golden Ticket. It allows you to raid Campaign missions in bulk, either by spending all your energy or using the x10 option.
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.

What's the best team/hero?All characters in the game are unique. Each battle requires specific strategy and team composition. There is not a single team that can defeat them all. Try experimenting with different characters depending on your opponent.
-
Tower difficultyThe difficulty of the Tower depends on your team level that you can find under your avatar on the game's main screen. If your heroes are not upgraded up to that level, clearing the Tower might become a challenge.
-
My heroes don't get EXP in raidsWhen you raid a mission, your heroes do not obtain experience directly. Instead, acquired experience points are converted into EXP Potions that you can find in your Inventory and use to upgrade any hero of your choice.
-
Daily Bonus has reset, but I haven't collected all rewards!On the first day of each calendar month, the counter of the collected rewards is reset, and you start collecting rewards again from the first day of the month.
-
Letters disappeared from my mailbox!Letters are stored in your in-game mailbox for a limited amount of time, usually for three days. Afterward, any items they contain are permanently deleted. The expiration date is displayed 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.
-
x2 rewards in DungeonYou get a double reward for clearing a Dungeon level for the first time: 50 Titan Potions, 2 Soul Stones, and 12 titanite: If you clear the level again, the reward is 25 Titan Potions, 1 Soul Stone, and 6 titanite:
-
My titans haven't resurrected in DungeonTitans resurrect with the Dungeon reset at the beginning of a game day, at 5:00 AM your in-game time zone. If your titans are still dead, then you have already explored the Dungeon today or changed the time zone recently. You will be able to proceed tomorrow.
-
I didn't get the Arena reward at 8 PMTo receive the reward, you need to attack at least once in Arena or Grand Arena before 8:00 PM your in-game time zone. Successful defenses do not count for issuing the reward.
-
I don't get Arena or Grand Arena Coins for a successful defenseEach day only the first five successful defenses grant Arena Coins, so you can receive up to 50 Coins. All further defenses are not rewarded. The same rule works for Grand Arena.
-
I've attacked a player and won, but my position in the Arena hasn't changedIf you have attacked a player and won, but your position in the Arena has not changed, it means that while you were choosing a target, they were attacked by another player and lost. Since their position became lower than yours, your ranking did not change.
-
I was attacked from a far-away position in Arena / Grand ArenaThere are two matchmaking ranges in Arena and Grand Arena: visible and hidden. The visible range includes player positions you can see in the list of suggested opponents. The hidden range is wider than the visible range. It ensures that opponents do not disappear while you are choosing an opponent or heroes to attack. Without this range, you would have to constantly look for a new opponent because positions in Arena and Grand Arena are dynamic and change quickly. Note: the hidden range allows you to attack an opponent even if they have changed their position while you were selecting your heroes. However, if the new position is outside both the visible and hidden range, you will have to look for a different opponent.
-
I've lost though my team has more power than my opponent'sSometimes a weaker team can defeat a stronger one. This situation can happen because of how energy accumulates: heroes get 1% energy, and titans – 0.5% for every 1% of the maximum health points lost. A weaker team takes more damage, thus accumulating energy faster. The quicker a character gets 1000 energy points, the sooner they can use their first skills. That is why the energy generation speed can directly affect the outcome of a battle. To avoid this situation, you can try upgrading your team even further or changing its composition.
-
I have a question regarding a specific battleIn this article, you can find answers to frequently asked questions about the combat system: how hero skills work, how energy generation affects battles, how team composition can play a crucial role in combat, and much more! If you still have questions regarding a specific battle, take the following steps to understand what is going on: Read the description of the abilities of each hero that participated in that battle. There are over 200 abilities in the game, and their interaction is usually the key. You can toggle the detailed descriptions of skills in the game settings: Check the active effects from the first artifacts. If damage is too high or too low, most likely, the heroes are under buffs. Artifacts affect the whole team, not only one hero: If a hero has chosen a different target than you expected, pay attention to the skills that can influence target selection. For example, Jorgen's Leper is one such skill. Check if your heroes are under any control effects. Try experimenting with hero combinations paying attention to strengths and weaknesses of both teams. Well-chosen heroes may sometimes defeat opponents even when outnumbered. If you still have not figured everything out, you can discuss the battle with the members of your Guild or ask other players for help on our official Discord server or Reddit.

I can't upgrade a skill/skinIf you cannot upgrade a skill/skin, it usually means that you either have not unlocked it yet or have already maxed it out.

Guild and personal activity mismatchYour personal activities reset at 05:00 AM your in-game time zone, and Guild activities reset at 02:00 AM UTC.

It is counted towards the Guild activities of the previous day. To avoid this situation, you should not collect activity or titanite and upgrade Glyphs during this time period.
-
What's the penalty for leaving a Guild?If you quit a Guild, you have to wait for 8 hours before joining a new one. You can spend 25 emeralds to skip the waiting time. If your Guild is in the Silver or Gold league, you will not be able to become a Champion until the end of the current week.

In these matches, top Guilds from every league except for Gold fight against bottom Guilds from the higher leagues to promote to a higher league. If you do not have an opponent on Saturday, it means that you finished the week in the middle of your league.

I've won a fight in Arena but lost a battle against the same team in Guild WarArena and Guild War are two different game modes with their own features. Firstly, all battles in Arena are automatic, whereas in Guild War you can manually control your heroes and activate their first skills. Secondly, the animation of characters' first skills varies. In fully automatic battles, where manual combat is not available in any way (e.g., in Arena), first skills do not stop a fight. In manual combat, even with auto mode turned on (e.g., in Guild War), animations of the first skills stop a battle entirely. During this pause, skills can still damage opponents. Thus, the results in Arena and Guild War may vary.

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.
