Heroes are powerful units that help strengthen your army and improve your overall combat performance.

You can collect multiple Heroes, level them up, equip them with gear, and use special resources to improve their abilities. Building a strong Hero collection is an important part of progressing through the game.

How to Acquire Heroes

Heroes are typically obtained through events or special packages:

• Event Rewards: Many high-tier heroes and hero resources (like "Hero Synthesis Resources") are earned by ranking highly in limited-time events.
• Hero Packages: Various "Hero Packages" are available in the game, which contain items necessary for hero progression and acquisition.

Choosing Your General

You may hire many heroes in Castle Age, but you may only have one of them set as your General at any given time. 

Buy heroes at the Heroes page and set them by clicking on the large general portrait on the top right of the screen or by navigating to the Generals page (Heroes → Generals). Your currently set general is shown on the top right hand side of the screen.
