The Codex of Heroes

Hall of Heroes

Heroes carry the army. Build them carefully β€” the resources are unforgiving.

Hero Systems Overview

Heroes play a critical role in combat and progression. While troops make up the majority of your army's strength, heroes provide powerful abilities, stat bonuses, and strategic advantages that greatly influence the outcome of battles.

Hero progression involves several interconnected systems: rarity, levels, stars, skills, equipment, and statues. Because resources used for hero development are limited, making smart decisions about which heroes to invest in is extremely important.

  • Hero Progression β€” understanding rarity, roles, and how to build your first core team
  • Hero Might β€” how strength is calculated through levels, stars, and skills
  • Hero Gear β€” equipping and upgrading gear to enhance combat performance
  • Hero Statues β€” improving hero classes through statue bonuses

The Three Hero Classes

Warriors

Frontline fighters responsible for absorbing damage and protecting the rest of the team. Higher defensive stats, designed to survive longer in combat and draw enemy attacks away from the backline.

Rangers

High-damage ranged attackers positioned in the backline. Rangers are usually responsible for the bulk of a team's damage output, which is why increasing their offensive power has the biggest impact on results.

Warlocks

Specialists in magic damage, debuffs, and support effects. Warlocks bring unique utility by weakening enemies or enhancing allies during combat, and are powerful in both PvE and PvP when used correctly.

Hero Statues

Hero Statues provide permanent stat bonuses to heroes based on their combat class. While heroes gain strength through leveling, stars, skills, and gear, statues provide additional global bonuses that improve the effectiveness of entire hero categories.

Warrior Statue

  • Health (HP)
  • Defense (DEF)
  • Overall survivability

Ranger Statue

  • Increased Attack (ATK)
  • Improved offensive combat stats
  • Increased damage potential

Warlock Statue

  • Improved ability effectiveness
  • Increased offensive stats
  • Better support capability during battles

Statue Upgrade Strategy

  • Prioritize the statue that supports the heroes in your main team
  • Upgrade statues that strengthen your primary damage dealers first
  • Continue upgrading other statues as additional resources become available

For most teams, the Ranger Statue becomes a priority because Rangers usually provide the highest damage output. Tank-heavy teams may favor the Warrior Statue earlier.

Antitoxin β€” The Resource That Gates Heroes

Antitoxin is a crucial resource used for upgrading heroes and improving overall combat strength. Because hero upgrades are one of the most important ways to increase Might, obtaining Antitoxin consistently is essential.
