Introdution | Heroes Endless Legend Guide

Last update: 18 October 2016

You can hire heroes in the market, in the part that becomes available after you invent Rookery (the first era). They come in two variations - ones available until they are bought and ones that are available only for a certain number of turns. Then, they are replaced with other heroes.

You should buy heroes always when you can afford it. They are ones of the best units in the battlefield, especially at higher levels and, thanks to their abilities, they can boost the rate of development of cities. There is no limitation on the number of heroes that you can have. You can have as many of them as you can afford and it is something that is worth striving for, because they are useful in many situations. All in all, it pays off to have an governer in each city and up to three, or in extreme situations, four heroes, who lead the armies.

While hiring heroes, do not hesitate to hire the ones that belong to a different faction. Their class and ability tree are different, which may make them more useful. Most frequently, you will be able to choose from among six heroes, which is why you should take your time and buy the one that suits your needs most.

You can move heroes between armies, cities and the academy freely but, after you do that, you need to wait for several turns. A newly appointed hero cannot be removed and, just like in the case of the academy, you need to wait for several turns. You need to take this into consideration, before you start appointing characters and removing them from the posts they occupy.

Heroes should be specialists in their respective fields. If you want an governer, invest into city management abilities only. If you need a warrior, invest in war abilities only. It is easier to combine a commander (bonuses for the city) and a warrior, than an governer and a warrior. You will run out of points and both of the fields are to different from each other. So, if you want the hero to fight, buy abilities connected with fighting and the ones connected with the army in the second place. Otherwise, have him manage the city.
