HOW TO PLAY
How to play Hero Forge
Train, rest, adventure and upgrade gear to defeat the boss. Choose free training or a fresh-start challenge with a limit of 25 actions.
English guides and UI are ready. A few niche in-game lines may still appear in Japanese.
Basic flow
- 01
The daily 25-action challenge offers Sentinel, Duelist and Herbalist classes. The same date, class and committed actions reproduce the same conditions; fewest-action records are kept separately.
- 02
Choose free training or the 25-action challenge. Challenges start fresh without legacy upgrades and never overwrite your normal hero. Challenge progress is not saved.
- 03
Train to raise stats; rest to recover HP.
- 04
Adventure to defeat enemies for XP and gold.
- 05
Before combat, choose Balanced, Assault or Guarded and check the damage and initiative tradeoffs.
- 06
Spend gold on gear, then challenge a boss when ready.
- 07
After a boss win, start a new cycle and keep permanent upgrades.
Tips
Rest before HP drops below half—falling wastes actions.
Raise defense as well as attack to survive adventures.
Permanent marks carry into later cycles and harder bosses.

FAQ
- How do the daily challenge classes differ?
- The Sentinel blocks the first hit in each battle. The Duelist ignores defense on the first strike. The Herbalist automatically uses a potion at half health or lower and refills it on rest. Records are separated by date and class.
- What is the 25-action challenge?
- Defeat the boss within 25 actions using a fresh hero without legacy upgrades. Your normal save is preserved. Challenge runs cannot be resumed, but successful runs keep a separate fewest-actions record.
- Do I need to grind?
- You can face the boss in one run; inherited upgrades make later runs safer.
- How long is a run?
- About 3–8 minutes, depending on your choices.
- What if stamina runs out?
- You waste actions if you collapse. Rest when stamina drops below half.
- How should I upgrade gear?
- Alternate attack and defense rather than stacking attack alone.
