Preparing for Hero Release Event (HRE)
Many players start saving energy a few days or even weeks before the event. Unless you have maxed out your entire roster or you're a whale, this is generally not a good move since you'll lose a lot of upgrades. From my experience, to unlock a new hero at epic rank, you just need a strong start.
- Save all of your bonus energy from the battle pass and promo codes.
- A day before the event (you can check the timer in-game), stop spending energy so that it's full when the event begins. Avoid using any energy refills.
- Set an alarm about 10 minutes before the event starts. Just before it begins, use the ad refill for 50 energy and purchase both the 50 and 110 blackstone energy refills. Use all your saved-up bonus energy. With all of this, you should have close to 500 energy.
- Check the event start timer, and when there are about 10 seconds left, go to the campaign missions you plan to farm. Count those 10 seconds, and when the event starts, begin raiding campaigns. Use all your saved energy, then use the ad and blackstone refills to raid some more.
- If done correctly, you should reach the top 20 or higher on the first day, earning you 86 or more event currency the next day.
- After that, continue using all your energy and arena tickets each day, and you should be able to unlock the new hero at epic rank without any problems.
Farming Fall of Cadia 40
When you need to farm certain requirements, whether for HRE, LRE, or any other mission, you can always go to Fall of Cadia 40 (FoC 40) and use the setup shown in the video to farm indefinitely.
You will need:
- Toth or Nauseous Rotbone to block the passage and heal themselves;
- Angrax with a leveled-up passive ability to deal 137 damage to Cadian Guardsman;
- Place Angrax in the specific spot shown in the video;
- Block all other spawn points and passageways.
For just 6 energy, you will be able to farm the following requirements:
- Melee damage and kills
- Power damage and kills
- Ability damage
- Imperial kills
- Kills with Chaos units
