Strategic Usage

Efficiency Tip Always try to synchronize your upgrades. Start long-duration upgrades (like Stronghold or Advanced Storages) before long sleep periods or work shifts.
Storage Priority Never let your Storages overflow. If your resources hit the cap, your Mines and Farms effectively shut down, wasting valuable production time.

Hero Academy FAQ

What is HA10 in Empires and Puzzles?

HA10 (Hero Academy level 10) lets you retrain a 5β˜… hero for a chance at a different legendary hero, including some past Heroes of the Month and event heroes not normally available.

Is Hero Academy worth building?

Yes. HA10 gives free-to-play and low-spenders a weekly shot at past event heroes and HotMs. Lower levels also train troops and retrain 3/4β˜… heroes efficiently. Requires Stronghold 25.
