Hero Recruitment, Upgrade, and Promotion Breakdown

In almost all Three Kingdoms games, collecting/developing heroes is the most important and interesting feature, and Kingdom Strike is no exception. Collecting heroes and assigning them to buildings or troops will net you various boosts. We'll introduce the hero recruitment, upgrade, and promotion features in detail in this article.

[Hero Recruitment] Hero recruitment is conducted at the Monument. You don't need to build the Monument, and you'll have access to it right away at Lv. 1. On the Monument interface, tap Recruitment Intro to view the probabilities of getting/obtaining different items; tap Prize Pool Preview to see all the items you can get.

There are two different types of hero recruitment: Normal Draft and Advanced Draft.

Normal Draft: 5 free attempts daily. You can earn Draft Orders I by completing various missions, or you can purchase them from the shop; each Draft Order I costs 38 coins. At the early stages of the game, you normally have plenty of coins but not many heroes, so it's a good idea to purchase some Draft Orders I to get more heroes.

Advanced Draft: You can get orange Hero Fragments via Advanced Draft, but not so via Normal Draft. You can earn Draft Orders II by completing various missions, or you can purchase them from the shop; each Draft Order II costs 168 Ingots. If you check the probabilities under Recruitment Intro, you'll find Advanced Recruitment x10 is a more economical way of getting heroes.

[Hero Upgrade] Tap Heroes on the main interface and select the hero you want to upgrade. You can spend War Strategies to upgrade your heroes and increase their Power. Your heroes' Power is reflected on your Ruler Power.

There are five types of War Strategies: I, II, III, IV, and V, each increasing 300, 1,000, 3,000, 10,000, and 30,000 EXP.

You can earn War Strategies by attacking bandits and Strongholds, as well as by joining events. You can also purchase them from the shop.

[Hero Promotion] You can only promote heroes you already own. You must also have enough Hero Fragments for the hero you want to promote.

Tap Heroes on the main interface. You'll see a sign if you meet the requirements to upgrade a hero. Simply tap on the hero and select "Promote".

Though you can earn Hero Fragments from various packs, their main source is still hero recruitment. When you obtain a hero you already have, they'll be automatically converted into Hero Fragments.

You can also use Wildcard Hero Fragments for hero promotion. We don't recommend this method, however, as it's difficult to obtain Wildcard Heroic Fragments. That's everything about hero recruitment, upgrade, and promotion. We hope that you found this article useful.
