What’s Hero Wars: Dominion Era about? 

Hero Wars: Dominion Era is an online fantasy role playing game with PvP (player versus player) battles. There’s a campaign that tells the story of Hero Wars, while also introducing you to the basics of the game.

There are 15 chapters and 218 missions overall. As you progress through the campaign you’ll earn experience points for your hero and the rest of your team to boost their skills. Missions are divided into three types: regular missions pit you against monsters and other heroes, and completing them earns you gold, items and experience points for your hero and team.

Then, there’s heroic missions. These are more difficult, and require more energy to complete (you get a set amount of energy points each day), and your attack attempts are limited to three a day (though you can use emeralds to gain additional attacks). Whilst the difficulty of these missions is increased, so too are the rewards - and you may also earn a Soul Stone (used to upgrade the power levels of your heroes).

Finally, there are boss fight missions where you need to fight a boss and numerous monsters. Again, attack attempts are limited, so you’ll have to play strategically, and the rewards are even more plentiful.

Each mission has three rounds, which each last two minutes - if you run out of time, you lose the battle.

There are daily bonuses which give you important resources such as gold and Hero Soul Stones - so make sure you claim those each day to help you with your campaign progress.

Once you’ve gained three stars in a mission, which means none of your heroes were defeated, you can then raid the mission, which completes the mission instantly and gives you EXP Potion rewards.

So, if you want to start your adventure right now, just fire up your web browser, head to the Hero Wars: Dominion Era website and sign up - and don’t forget to claim your free extras as well!
