Heroes

Heroes are the students or professors of Wakehollow Hall that also operate as your generals, leading your troops into battle against other magical schools (PVP) or against tenebrals (PVE). They also lead the troops to gather resources from the map (gold, wood or food), from spots called "nodes".

All heroes can be unlocked with 100 unlock shards in the "Heroes" tab of the shop (Campus Store), with the exception of your starting hero and first student, Gwendoline Harlowe. She is your introduction to the game and will automatically be part of your campus from the beginning.

Heroes are divided into three categories that determine their "rarity"; the rarer a hero, the harder it is to obtain that hero, aka to invite that student into your school. You can progress through the heroes' stories without having them on your campus.

Hero Type and Bonus
Every hero is of a certain type, meaning they have an affinity with a certain biome. When the hero type is "wild", they have an equal standing across all the biomes.

Each hero will give you certain bonuses in game, often related to their type. Rank and tier give different bonuses that are specific to the hero in question.

Hero rank
Increasing your hero's rank is done with upgrade shards. Upgrading rank is immediate.

Hero tier
Increasing your hero's tier is done with relics that you can get from different chests and by fighting tenebrals or furies in the realm. Hero tier upgrades are on a timer.

Hero Level
Increasing the hero level raises a hero's "tactics", which gives them the ability to boost troops more in a march, while operating as leaders for your summons. Higher hero levels also enable you to equip higher-tier relics, so it is necessary to upgrade to upgrade hero tier as well.

You can get higher hero levels by having your hero consume experience books (study), but your heroes also gain experience by gathering in the realm or fighting tenebrals and furies.

Hero level is capped at level 30 at the start of the game. Only through research (see: "Concentration" for plains, forest and highlands heroes, and "Wild Focus" for wild heroes) can hero level be raised higher than that.
