What would Final Fantasy XV: War for Eos be without a dynamic cast of Heroes? Eos is brimming with Monsters and agents of Niflheim, and you’re going to find yourself battling against them often. Sometimes your Heroes will only need to support your Troops, but there are also more daunting encounters where they’ll need to handle things themselves to ensure victory.

Hero Hall

Your Hero Hall Building is your primary source for managing your Heroes. Use this Building to view all of your Heroes and their abilities, upgrade them, and keep track of your progress for unlocking new Heroes.

Your Hero Hall generates Standard Hero Chests that contain helpful Hero Items every 5 minutes. You must open your Standard Hero Chest before your Hero Hall can generate another. You can also unlock Premium Hero Chests with better Items by using Keys found in other areas of the game!

Unlocking Heroes

Heroes are unlocked by collecting Hero Tokens! You can find Hero Tokens in all kinds of places - Hero Hall Chests, the Campaign, Events, Sales, and more! Once you have enough Tokens for a specific Hero, you can unlock that Hero in the Hero Collection Screen.

March Assignments and Slots

Your Heroes can lead your Troops on Marches! Marches are initiated whenever you send your Troops to a Tile on the Realm Map, like Gathering Resources or Skirmishing with Niflheim soldiers. When you’re setting up a March on a Tile, you can change what Heroes you’d like to lead that March by tapping on any of the circular arrow icons above the Troops window.

March Assignments

View your Heroes’ special March benefits in the March Hero Assignment screen and choose the right ones for the job. For example, if you’re looking to gather Metal from a specific Resource Tile, make sure to send Prompto along to take advantage of his Metal Gathering Speed bonus.

March Slots

Heroes have March Slots, which indicates which of the three Troop Types they accompany in War Combat. You are allowed to send up to three Heroes to lead a March, and only one of each Class (Classes are detailed in the next section). 

	Infantry: Heroes with this designation March alongside Infantry Troops.
	Ranged: Heroes with this designation March alongside Ranged Troops.
	Cavalry: Heroes with this designation March alongside Cavalry Troops.

Hero March Slots are not related to your regular March Slots, which determine how many Marches you can have active at one time.

	Tank: Tank Heroes are best on the front lines, soaking up damage for the party.

Hero Progression & Items

The maximum Hero Level is 250, and you can Level Up a Hero using Hero XP (and Hero Drink when a key Level will unlock or upgrade a Skill). Your Hero Hall’s Level will also determine how high you can Level Up a Hero.

Heroes have four or five unique Skills that they use during Party Encounters - 3 Automatic, 1 Technique, and 1 Limit Break (Rare Heroes do not have a Limit Break). Powerful Skills have cooldown periods. Each Skill has three levels, and they are unlocked or upgraded after 20 Hero Levels! 

Heroes also have Star Ranks that can be increased using specific Hero Tokens and Hero Catalyst Items. Star Ranks provide March Benefits and apply multipliers to certain stats when you increase them. Each Star Rank will allow you to increase that Hero’s Level to a certain point:

STAR RANK	MAX HERO LEVEL
	60
	120
	160
	200
	220
	240
	250
