Hero Wars

The core of Hero Wars is team building. The game lists more than 80 heroes, and each one belongs to one of six factions: Chaos, Eternity, Honor, Mystery, Nature or Progress. Each faction has a different role in battle, so the roster is about fitting pieces together rather than picking favorites.

Placement matters too. Front line, back line, support, control, damage and defense all affect the result, according to the store text. The listing also describes upgrading hero skills and countering enemy lineups, which points to a game decided by composition more than by fast reflexes.

A typical session starts with PvE. The Tower and its bosses give buffs after each victory, and clearing them brings rewards that improve your roster. Limited-time Adventures in the world of Dominion add enemies, bosses and loot on top of that.

PvP follows. The Arena pits your team against other players online, with rankings to climb and rewards for wins. Legends Draft is a separate PvP mode that hands you random max-level heroes, so you pick a plan from the matchup instead of from your own collection.

Guilds add a longer loop. You can create or join one, fight in Guild Wars and compete in Clash of Worlds for a place in the top league. Titans, in Fire, Water, Earth, Light, Elarite and Dark elements, are built into separate teams for those guild and multiplayer fights.

Six alternatives are RAID, GODDESS OF VICTORY, Idle Heroes, Summoners War, Fire Emblem Heroes and Mythic Heroes. All of them sit near Hero Wars in the gacha and hero-collecting space.

Hero Wars combines strategy combat, guild competition and a Titan system, and it was released on March 14, 2017. It needs Android 7.1 or newer and was last updated on November 4, 2026.
