What are Heroic Missions?

Heroic missions are missions unlocked upon obtaining 50 sigils. They need to be cleared once per faction, so aim to get at least one leader per faction as you progress through the game. The heroic missions are more difficult than their non-heroic counterparts, often employing a gimmick on the map or featuring an initial push that you need to defend.

Why do Heroic Missions?

Clearing a heroic mission rewards you with 3 tomes of experience for your troops as well as a sigil upon completing it once. You need to clear them 4 more times, each with different leaders from the remaining factions. Upon clearing them, you receive 300 coins for your efforts. It is quite rewarding and will be your main source of income in the end game.

Enemy Minis

Sieges enemies with slabs of meat. Bombards from so far away that it outranges Towers!

Plague Farmer

Bombards enemy ground troops with Poisonous pumpkins. Keep him alive and watch enemies rot!

Gargoyle

A Flying fortress of Armor. This single-minded Tank attacks buildings and bosses, ignoring all other distractions.

A cheap pair of Flying scavengers. Two vultures are a nuisance, but each vulture victim adds to the flock!

Recommended Minis

S.A.F.E. Pilot

A flexible Ranged unit. Crash her into enemies or land her behind your Tanks for Area Damage support.

"The S.A.F.E. Pilot serves as one of your starter minions, making it easier to upgrade to uncommon—requiring one less duplicate to purchase from the G.R.I.D. It stands as a top-tier unbound unit capable of easily decimating enemy backlines. Unlock its 'Stealth and Ambush' talent to amplify its damage output. This versatile unit can be used to one-shot gold chests, backdoor towers alongside the Quilboar, or deny enemy Kobolds from acquiring gold. It performs exceptionally well and can be effectively deployed in any deck.

Gnomish Cloaking Device BEST
Deploy from the explosion with Stealth and Ambush.
Comin’ In Hot!
Deploy twice as fast and Burn nearby enemies.
Gnomish Muttonizer
Polymorph the first blaster target.

Dark Iron Miner

When there’s more Gold than your Kobold can mine, hire another to mine behind enemy lines!

The Dark Iron Miner is somewhat redundant with the Kobold Miner. While it does shine in some PvE content, it doesn't justify a slot in PvP. If you can make space for it in your deck, it provides excellent map control, especially when the proximity mine talent is unlocked.

Dark Iron Armaments
After Mining, gain Armored.
Gold Mine BEST
After Mining, drop a proximity mine. Damages nearby enemies when touched.
Dwarven Ambition
Gain Fury.

Darkspear Troll

This headhunter deals massive damage with savage spear throws. Enemies in the air beware!

The Darkspear Troll is one of the best anti-air units in the game. It boasts excellent range and damage, often one-shotting flying units. Additionally, it is surprisingly bulky, thanks to its regeneration talent.

Big Bad Voodoo BEST
Regenerate 10% health every second.
Headhunting
On kill, increase Attack and Movement speed by 10%. Stacks to 50%.
Serpent Sting
Gain Poison.

Quilboar

Surprise your enemies with this Unbound Melee burrower! Slow to emerge but bristling for a fight.

The Quilboar is a top-tier unbound mini with numerous uses. It can collect faraway chests, distract bosses from your advancing army, deny gold from enemy Kobolds, and tank towers. Unlocking its 'Tunnel Vision' talent enables faster deployment, providing a significant advantage. Its versatility allows it to excel in any deck, contributing to its high-tier ranking.

Bristleback
Deal a small amount of damage to Melee attackers.
Tunnel Vision BEST
Deploy much more quickly.
Bramble Burst
Inflict Poison on nearby enemies when emerging.

Pyromancer

Sometimes you need to light an enemy on fire. She prefers to light them all on fire.

The Pyromancer is a top-tier ranged elemental damage dealer. Acquire the 'splash area increase' talent to decimate armies with her flames. Pair her with a capable tank to ensure her survival, such as Rend Blackhand or Drakkisath. Additionally, consider utilizing the Flame Elemental. While it excels in Drakkisath decks, it can be incorporated into any deck requiring elemental damage.

Conflagrate BEST
Splash area is doubled.
Pyroblast
Deal triple damage on the first attack.
Blaze of Glory
Damage and Burn nearby enemies on death.

Deck Build

tirion-fordring-deck-8b1g6

The Dark Iron Dwarf is useful here since there are three gold mines to mine. Protect him with the Quilboar and the Safe Pilot while he mines.

The Pilot can clear a bunch of undead in one crash. If you have the stealth talent unlocked, she can deal some extra damage to the stragglers.

The Darkspear Troll can inflict a lot of damage from the backline if you manage to protect it all the way to the boss.

The Pyromancer can quickly clear the undead with a few hits, especially with the area increase talent unlocked.

How to Clear

This is a tricky map to clear due to the sheer number of enemy units you have to deal with. Your charge should be forceful and swift to avoid fighting another wave of undead. Your objective is to secure the tower in the west to gain access to the two gold mines. From there, you can launch your offensive. If somehow you can't defeat the boss quickly enough, send another regiment to the east to capture the gold mine there and execute a split push. You really need strong leaders and minions here. You might also need a few talents unlocked to clear this stage multiple times.
