Getting Your Hero On Top

[WerldEeeter]

This guide is about getting your hero on top. On top meaning getting him/her to the strength of hitting lvl 10 npc's. (typically 150 attack)

Which hero is the right hero?
-You want your main attack hero to have 60-70 base attack or higher. Nothing under the base attack of 60, that is a weak hero and will take you longer to level him up.

Finding the base attack:
-Very simple, all you do is take the heros attack and subtract the level, and there you have the base attack.
-Look in your Inn for a lvl 1 hero with 60-70 attack.

Finding a hero:
-Leave a spot open in your feasting hall for a hero. If you don't see a hero you like in an Inn, you can clear the Inn for another hero to arrive. If its a crappy hero, recruit him and dismiss him immediately. There will be another available hero in the Inn. It's tedious and will cost a good amount of gold overtime.

Farming NPC's is the best way to level up your hero. Attack lvl 5's like crazy. Hit all in your area once every hour, you may not get as many resources when u hit the same npc over again, but your hero will get the same amount of exp as b4 (The troops of the npc are restored in an hour).

A quicker way to level up your hero would be to add 4k warriors with ur set that you attack the lvl 5's with. You will lose the 4k warriors everytime, However, they are very cheap and give your hero much more exp, (150k-170k exp each time):
500 ballistas
500 trans
4000 warriors

A more advanced set is when your hero is a little bit stronger (at least 100 attack and over)... might actually work with an average hero starting out, but i havn't tested it. Here it is:
180 ballistas
420 transporters
4000 warriors

With this set you can still hit a lvl 5 npc with no losses AND you get even more exp then the other set. See for yourself.

A more advanced step is hitting lvl 8 npc's for experience, since your not ready to hit 10s yet. All it is is 80k warriors with layering units. This is the set i like:

80k warriors
2k transporters
4k scouts
4k pike
4k sword

The layers i chose might be overkill, but eh, that's just me.
You will recieve 600-700k exp everytime. Heal after.

Following these farming techniques will get your hero ready to hit lvl 10's in no time. The warriors are cheap and quick


Tell me if i should add anything else to this guide.
If you would like me to add some screenshots, i'd be glad too. Not too familiar with screenshots, but eh, i'll give it a try if need be.

Hope it helps!

I would also like to add that when i used the following set:
180 ballistas
420 transporters
4000 warriors

that my Archery was lvl 10 and Hbr was 9. This will likely effect the outcome. (I havnt tried this with a different combo lower then that) So be cautious, you might take small losses without that combo. Anyone willing to try it out, go for it and post your outcome on here. You might be just fine.

If you have questions about the basic arch/hbr combos go to this: http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=42643]here[/url]
