What is some general advice for new Top Heroes players?

Don't rush your castle; balance it with other upgrades. Join Discord and Facebook groups for community tips. Use speed-ups wisely, only for items over an hour. Save relic scrolls for events. Shield your city when offline. Complete daily and weekly missions. Don't overlook fully awakened Epic heroes. Join an active guild for support and resources. Focus on research, especially for resource yield and troop strength.

What are the best tips for Free-to-Play (F2P) players in Top Heroes?

Patience is key; focus on long-term growth. Save diamonds for Dice and Wheel events to get Mythic heroes. Concentrate all resources on one primary hero queue. Prioritize upgrading your Castle, followed by your main faction's statues. Save Universal Legendary Shards exclusively for Mythic heroes. Use free resources wisely, such as getting the second construction queue. Participate in all guild activities for consistent rewards.

How should I spend my diamonds in Top Heroes?

Good investments include Wheel/Dice/Gacha events for mythics, extra egg bounties, guild race tickets, and VIP store items like chests and stamina. Situational buys are carriage refreshes or resources from the VIP store. Bad investments include recruiting from the tavern with diamonds, wishing for relics without scrolls, and speeding up upgrades with diamonds.

What should I prioritize in the different Top Heroes shops?

In the VIP Shop, prioritize Silver Chests and Speed Ups. In the Daily Shop, get Universal Hero Shards and Silver Chests. For the Arena Shop, slowly save for Pyro shards. In the Combat Valor Shop, focus on Promotion Stones and Legendary Shards. For the Guild Honor Shop, get Soul Stones and Universal Shards. In the Guild Store, prioritize Vault Keys and Pet Eggs.

What are the key principles for building a strong hero queue?

Focus all your resources on one strong hero queue rather than several weak ones. Pick a faction you like (League, Horde, or Nature) and invest in it. Always include the maximum number of soldiers with your heroes, as they are a significant part of your overall power.

How should I manage my heroes and resources effectively?

Focus on one faction to build a cohesive team. Save Universal Legendary Shards for Mythic heroes only. Use your 'meat' resource primarily for your main hero queue. Read hero abilities to create synergistic teams. Actively gather rubies as they are a late-game bottleneck.

What is the upgrade path for Horde faction heroes?

Early legendary heroes like Wilderness Hunter, Swordmaster, and Shaman will eventually be replaced by their Mythic counterparts: Storm Maiden, Desert Prince, and Witch.

What is the upgrade path for League faction heroes?

Early legendary heroes like Astrologer, Secret Keeper, and Bard are replaced by Mythics: Paragon, Rose Princess, and Bishop. Pyromancer is eventually replaced by Artificer.

How do I build hero queue power effectively?

Focus on a single faction to gain faction bonuses. Prioritize maxing out your main team's levels, stars, and awakenings. Key heroes to prioritize often include Tidecaller, Monk, Prince, Wukong, and Storm Maiden. For gear, a fully upgraded Epic faction set (+10) is better than a low-level Legendary set. Also, focus on research, building upgrades, and joining a strong guild.

What are the research priorities for the early game?

Your top priority is the Combat Expertise / Growth tree, focusing on Construction Speed, Research Speed, and March Size. Next, focus on Arms Race Prep & Commendation to maximize event rewards. Finally, invest in Soldier, Hero, and your chosen Faction-Specific research trees to boost military strength.

How do daily and weekly events like Guild Arms Race and KvK work?

Guild Arms Race is a weekly event with daily tasks like Gathering, Construction, Research, Summoning, Training, and Combat. It's best to save resources and claim them on the corresponding day. Kingdom vs Kingdom (KvK) is a server-wide event with a similar 5-day preparation phase, followed by a final war day against another server.

How do I become King and what are the responsibilities?

The King is the leader of the guild that captures the central castle during the Throne War event. The King can appoint positive and negative titles to players, which provide buffs or debuffs, and can send mail to the entire server. You can request a title from the King to help with upgrades.
