Building Priority Guide

Knowing which buildings to upgrade and when is one of the most critical aspects of efficient growth in Top Heroes. A smart building strategy ensures you are always maximizing your power, resource generation, and research speed.

Tier 1: The Core Progression Path

These buildings are the backbone of your city's development. Your primary focus should always be on upgrading these, as they unlock new tiers of troops, research, and overall power.

  • Castle: This is the most important building in the game. The level of your Castle dictates the maximum level of all other buildings. Never let it fall behind.
  • Research Cottage: Your second highest priority. Research provides permanent, powerful bonuses. Keeping this building upgraded ensures you can access the latest and most impactful research nodes.
  • Barracks: This determines the level of your soldiers. Higher-tier soldiers are exponentially more powerful, so upgrading your Barracks is essential for military strength.
  • Hospital: A high-level hospital is crucial for recovering troops after battles, especially during KvK. Neglecting this will result in massive troop losses.
  • Training Grounds: Increases your maximum soldier capacity. More soldiers mean a stronger army.
  • Guild Hall: Required for castle upgrades and essential for participating in guild activities.

Tier 2: High-Impact Power Boosts

Once your core buildings are on track, focus on these structures to significantly boost your hero and army power.

  • Faction Statues (Horde, League, Nature): These are incredibly important. Each level increases the march size for heroes of that faction, directly boosting your power and morale. Focus on the statue for your main faction first.
  • Medal Hall: Provides a percentage-based HP boost to all your soldiers. This is a massive advantage in any fight.
  • Pet Paradise: At level 40, this building grants an extra free pet search each day, accelerating your pet progression.
  • Tavern: Upgrading the Tavern provides passive buffs to your heroes.
  • Blacksmith: A higher-level Blacksmith grants extra buffs to your forged weapons.

Tier 3: Resource & Situational Buildings

These buildings are important for your economy and specific situations but should be upgraded after the core and high-impact structures.

  • Resource Buildings (Farms, Mines, etc.): It's recommended to get these to at least level 20 to maximize the number of villagers you can assign for production boosts.
  • Warehouse: Protects your resources from being plundered. Keep it at a reasonable level, especially if you are frequently attacked.
  • Rally Hall: Increases your rally damage and damage reduction. More important for players who frequently lead rallies.
