Tips and strategy

• Place for synergy before you place for damage. An elemental bond between two monsters is worth more than the strongest single unit sitting alone on a bare stretch of track, so plan the layout before you upgrade.
• Merge on a tile you want to keep. Combining two monsters frees space, and doing it on a strong position means the evolved version inherits that spot instead of you having to rebuild around it.
• Swapping two different tiers is a repositioning tool, not a merge. It is the cheapest way to shuffle a monster into a synergy cluster without giving up a single tier of progress.
• Keep hatching with E or Space. A fallen Core costs gold rather than monsters, and gold is the recoverable currency here, so standing still with an empty board is the only genuinely bad trade.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when my Core falls in Heroes Beware?

It costs you gold rather than monsters. The checkpoints mean a wipe sets you back financially instead of wiping out the brood you have spent the run building, so the loss is recoverable.

How many monster tiers are in Heroes Beware?

There are 50 tiers to evolve through, spread across 10 elemental classes. Getting to the top takes a long run, so the early waves are really about setting up the bonds you will lean on later.

How do I move and merge monsters in Heroes Beware?

Drag a monster to place it on the track. Drop it onto a monster of the same tier and the two merge; drop it onto a different tier and the two swap positions instead.
