What are Heroic Missions?

Heroic missions are missions unlocked upon obtaining 50 sigils. They need to be cleared once per faction, so aim to get at least one leader per faction as you progress through the game. The heroic missions are more difficult than their non-heroic counterparts, often employing a gimmick on the map or featuring an initial push that you need to defend.

Why do Heroic Missions?

Clearing a heroic mission rewards you with 3 tomes of experience for your troops as well as a sigil upon completing it once. You need to clear them 4 more times, each with different leaders from the remaining factions. Upon clearing them, you receive 300 coins for your efforts. It is quite rewarding and will be your main source of income in the end game.

How to Clear

Your main objective in this map is to secure the left lane for safe mining and chest acquisition. Deploy your flying units to counter the Footmen . Use your S.A.F.E. Pilot against the Ogre Mage , Pyromancer , or murlocs to shield them. You can also divert their attention using the Quilboar to make them face the opposite direction. The Big Defias Bandits poses no threat to your flyers, so eliminating him is straightforward.

Next, focus on taking down the tower on the right lane to gain easy access to Morgan the Collector. Avoid sending a large number of units at once due to his Chain Lightning ability. Just a tank and a ranged attacker will suffice. Sometimes, you can avoid engaging the Defias Bandits adjacent to Morgan by strategically avoiding hitting it.
