My Messy First Week Playing Heroes War Code
So I just started playing Heroes War Code last Monday. Downloaded it thinking it looked cool, you know? Jumped right in, tapped through the tutorial like “yeah yeah, got this.” Big mistake. Slammed into walls immediately. Figured I’d write down what actually worked after wasting SO much time and energy. Maybe save you the headache.
First Big Dumb Mistake: I just picked heroes that looked awesome. Big sword guy? In the team. Flashy magic lady? Definitely. Team was a total mess. Got absolutely crushed in the second story mission. Seriously, wrecked. Realized my team had zero balance. No tank soaking damage, no healer keeping folks alive. Just a bunch of damage dealers tripping over each other. Total chaos. Went back, actually READ what the heroes do. Slapped a tough Knight dude up front, put a Priest in the back for heals. Night and day difference. Suddenly stuff started dying instead of me.
Resource Disaster: This one hurt. Early game throws coins and upgrade stones at you. I blew it ALL immediately. Leveled up my starting heroes super high. Used every stone, every coin. Felt powerful… for about five minutes. Then I pulled a way better S-tier hero from a free scroll. Awesome! Except… I had no coins. No stones. Zilch. Couldn’t level him past 10. My junk heroes were stuck at like level 40. So I was stuck using trash heroes because I ran out of stuff for the good one. Lesson learned: Hoard your upgrade stones and coins early on. Only invest heavily when you pull a top-tier hero. Don’t be like me.
The Daily Grind I Ignored: Those little icons on the side menu? The “Daily Missions”? Yeah, I ignored them. Focused solely on the main story. Bad call. After hitting that resource wall, I actually looked. Oh man. Free energy? Upgrade materials? Summon scrolls? All just sitting there for doing little tasks. Stuff like “Do 2 Arena Battles” or “Equip 2 Runes.” Started smashing these every single day. Filled up my inventory quickly without spending precious resources. Felt like free money.
Team Building For Dummies (Me): Beat the first few chapters just smashing buttons. Hit chapter 5, full stop. Boss wrecked me repeatedly. Watched the replay (didn’t know that was a thing!). Saw his stupid ultimate attack one-shot my backline. What clicked? Positioning! Moved my healer off to the side instead of right behind the tank. Moved my fragile Archer to the opposite corner. Suddenly the boss splash damage didn’t hit both. Healer stayed alive, kept the tank up. Tank held the line. Slowly, painfully, beat him. Actually thought about where I put my guys for once.
Runes? More like Ruins: Got some runes early. Slapped the highest star ones on without reading the stats. Big red “ATK +5%”? Sold. Turns out putting an attack rune on my tank was dumb. He needs HP! Defense! Swapped things around. Looked for stats that actually matched the hero’s job. Took an extra minute, but suddenly my tank wasn’t folding like paper anymore. Don’t just auto-equip!
Feeling Dumb but Getting Smarter: Seriously, the game throws a lot at you fast. Progress felt impossible until I slowed down. Read hero skills. Didn’t spend everything instantly. Did the daily checklist religiously. Paid attention to where my guys stood. Checked rune stats. Stopped being lazy. After a week of facepalms, stuff started flowing. Feels much better now. Not a pro, but at least I’m not stumbling in the dark anymore. Hope this saves you some early pain!
