A Beginner’s Guide on Picking the Perfect Hero For You
It isn’t easy picking out the right Hero!
Whether it’s the crazy high set of stats or maybe even just the shiny purple appearance of the card, there is so much to consider when picking out the perfect Hero for you.
Before we get started, please refer to this article to learn about how exactly to buy, sell and rent out Heroes:
We have also just released a new quest (Wishing Well) where you can earn XP and Gaia’s Tears! This is a relatively long guide, so you can always use the hyperlinks below to skip to a certain section.

Stats
Each Hero has their own unique set of stats. A Hero’s starting stats are determined by their class, stat bonus genes and rarity (plus other bonuses applied during the summoning process).
- Hit Points (HP)
- Mana Points (MP)
- Stamina
Heroes require Stamina to perform quests. Each Hero starts off with 25 Stamina, and 1 Stamina is restored every 20 minutes when depleted. Heroes can later rest in the Inn to recharge their Stamina, or consume Stamina potions that can be crafted from in-game items.
Please note: It takes 500 minutes to fully replenish a Hero’s Stamina (with a cap of 25).
- Strength (STR)
- Dexterity (DEX)
- Agility (AGI)
- Vitality (VIT)
- Endurance (END)
- Intelligence (INT)
- Wisdom (WIS)
- Luck (LCK)
The set of stats above are made of primary and secondary stat growth parameters, and this helps determine the chances of successfully upgrading each stat. Read about what exactly each stat is used for in our Docs.
Classes & Ranks
There are three ranks in DeFi Kingdoms so far: basic, advanced and elite. Higher ranked classes have additional bonuses when leveling, higher base stat sums, different summoning costs and more.
Basic
Base summoning cost is 10 Tears + Base primary growth stat sum of 400%.
- Warrior
- Knight
- Thief
- Archer
- Priest
- Wizard
- Monk
- Pirate
Advanced
Base summoning cost is 40 Tears + Base primary growth stat sum of 450%.
- Paladin
- Dark Knight
- Summoner
- Ninja
Elite
Base summoning cost is 70 Tears + Base primary growth stat sum of 500%.
- Dragoon
- Sage
Rarity
There are five Hero rarities (as shown by the different colors):
- Common
- Uncommon
- Rare
- Legendary
- Mythic
Please note: All Gen 0 Heroes are Rare, Legendary or Mythic.
When leveling up, the additional bonuses that Heroes receive (every 5 levels) depend on their rarity. It can be observed below that the average stats of Level 100 Mythic Heroes are higher than Level 100 Common Heroes, for example.
You can read more about how exactly rarities affect Hero stats when leveling in more detail here.
Generations
Gen 0 Heroes are by far the most valuable, as they have no maximum amount of summons and can be used indefinitely.
The higher generation your Hero is, the less it can be used for summoning. For instance, a Gen 8 Hero will have significantly fewer maximum summons than a Gen 2 Hero.
The newly summoned Hero‘s generation will be +1 of the Hero with the highest generation.
For example: Summoning a Gen 1 Hero with a Gen 3 Hero will give you a newly summoned Gen 4 Hero.
Excluding Gen 0 Heroes, all newly summoned Heroes have a 24 hour cooldown period before they can summon.
Why are Professions Important?
Professions are utilized in Profession Quests, where Heroes can earn XP and find in-game items.
Potions! Gold! Wait… is that a pet?
Mining
Strength (STR) and Endurance (END) are the required stats.
One Hero can visit a mine at a time. For every 10 minutes a Hero spends mining, 1 Stamina is consumed.
Gardening
Wisdom (WIS) and Vitality (VIT) are the required stats.
One Hero can visit a garden at a time. For every 10 minutes a Hero spends gardening, 1 Stamina is consumed.
Foraging
Dexterity (DEX) and Intelligence (INT) are the required stats.
Foraging consumes 5 Stamina after a brief period of time spent foraging (~15 seconds).
Fishing
Agility (AGI) and Luck (LCK) are the required stats.
Fishing consumes 5 stamina after a brief period of time spent fishing (~15 seconds).
Performing Quests
Quests can be performed by Heroes to earn JEWEL tokens, in-game items and other rewards.
As of writing this guide, we have just released the Wishing Well. This is the first quest implemented in DeFi Kingdoms, and the only way to currently earn Gaia’s Tears in-game. Our team will now be focusing on Profession Quests, which will allow the player to earn resources, runes and skill points as well.
Wishing Well
You must own at least one Hero with a minimum of 5 Stamina to use the Wishing Well. You can attempt the quest a maximum of 5 times in one go, with each attempt costing 5 Stamina.
- 1 attempt: 5 Stamina
- 2 attempts: 10 Stamina
- 3 attempts: 15 Stamina
- 4 attempts: 20 Stamina
- 5 attempts: 25 Stamina
Heroes gain a minimum of 1 XP per attempt. There is also a chance of earning Gaia’s Tears.
Please note: A Hero’s rarity does not impact the rewards received from the Wishing Well.
