Getting Heroes

There are a number of ways to gain heroes and these are listed below

  • They can be bought from the Tavern in the Black Market
  • They can be given by getting favor from a God (small % chance)
  • A high level hero (20+) can be obtained by getting into Lucifer's Most Favored List
  • Love Potion #9 and Lipstick of Enslavement are unique items that can grant you one hero

Hero Experience

With every turn you spend, your hero gains experience points. When you collected enough experience, your hero raises a level. The latter may switch on new abilities and increase the effect of already acquired abilities.

Experience gain

Battle Heroes:

  • Slow servers (Apprentice): 12 experience per turn + 24 experience for leading a stack in a battle (win or not)
  • Normal servers (Guild): 8 experience per turn + 16 experience for leading a stack in a battle (win or not)
  • Fast servers (Blitz): 4 experience per turn + 8 experience for leading a stack in a battle (win or not)

Non-Battle Heroes:

  • Slow servers (Apprentice): 18 experience per turn
  • Normal servers (Guild): 12 experience per turn
  • Fast servers (Blitz): 6 experience per turn

Leveling:
Formula's for hero leveling are:

Experience_To_Next_Level = Current_Level*1000
(example: Level 8 (XP:28000) : 28000+8000 = 36000, XP required for level 9 is 36,000 or "8,000 XP to level 9 from level 8"
Total_Experience_to_reach_next_level = Current_Level*Next_Level*500
(example: Level 8 is reached at XP:28000; 7*8*500 = 28000)
(example: Level 9 is reached at XP:36000; 8*9*500 = 36000)



Section 7 - Heroes and Heroins of Alzorath's FAQ v0.2 shows a table format of the hero levels from zero up to 40; however, the lowest level heroes available start from level 8 as most heroes have thier first abilities when they reach level 9.

In Battle

Heroes will lead stacks according to their power, so the highest level hero in your army will lead your most powerful stack and so on; however, heroes will lead units that are the same race and color (for instance, even if you only have a Berserker, it will lead Dwarven Deathseekers even if Red Dragons are your top stack). Heroes will die in battle when the stack that they command is completely destroyed.

If a Hero commands a stack of the same colour and race as the hero this stack recieves a bonus to efficiency equal to the heros level in percent.

How Heroes are Lost in Combat:

Stack wiping the hero led stack will usually kill a hero but...
MikeClough:

For the hero to die, there needs to be enough damage left over after the stack is killed, to kill the hero also. It is possible to have a hero-lead stack completely die, but the hero survive, provided the damage left over is not enough to kill the hero also.

Single stack effects useless? I don't think so..

Note that single stack effects are more likely to hit higher NP stacks than lower NP stacks. The same actually goes for spells/items/etc.. This means, in most cases, that the ability is actually more useful than you think. Example: Witch. Only one unit gets cursed. But since it's more likely to be (either a linear or even parabolic correlation) hit on your enemy's top stack, which is his most powerful stack, it can actually have a huge effect on the battle outcome!

Hero Spells and resistances

If one of your heroes casts a spell, it can be resisted, just as any other spell. Hero colour determines the colour of the spell. However this only applies to spells (like ArcFire, Chill Touch,...) Other skills like animal taming, cursing, ... always work. You can clearly see the difference between the two in your battle report.

Hero Abilities

The hero and the level of the hero when the ability of gained is listed in the parentheses next to the ability.

When an ability is denoted as (Does Something/LVL), it does mean the hero level, but the level of the skill. EXAMPLE: A level 10 Alchemist has 2 skill points in Alchemy. The easy way to derive the skill level is to take the level of the hero then subtract the level that you get the skill, then add one. Back to the alchemist, Level 10 - Level 9 (Skill onset level) = 1. 1 + 1 = 2. Thus level 2 of Alchemy.
