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.

Recommended Minis
Defias Bandits
Defias bandits are amazing minis capable of generating value depending on the mini they're up against. They deploy stealthed, so the enemy doesn't even know they are coming. They stun upon hitting, and they are especially effective when used near a tower, allowing the tower to land hits while the enemy is stunned. They can also stun bosses, making them quite useful, especially if the boss has a lot of range.
Unlocking their poison talent increases their damage, further demoralizing enemy players who see their high-cost mini go down to a 1-cost mini. Additionally, they can be used to pick up chests and for cycling minis at a very low cost.
 | Deadly Poison BEST Gain Poison. |
 | Pick Lock Earn an extra +2 Gold when opening chests. |
 | Last Resort On death, Stun the target for 3 seconds. |
S.A.F.E. Pilot
"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. |
Stonehoof Tauren
"The Stonehoof Tauren is a premium mid-cost tank that charges at other minis to swiftly close the gap. It particularly excels in Horde decks where it can be equipped in Horde bonus slots. Acquire the 'Momentum' talent to enable her to charge a second time if the initial charge connects.
 | Pummel After connecting a charge, Stun the target for 3 seconds. |
 | Momentum BEST After connecting a charge, immediately charge a second time if possible. |
 | Provoke After connecting a charge, Taunt nearby enemies. |
Prowler
The Prowler is an excellent tank, especially in Beast decks. It synergizes well with other Beast minis like Harpies and Quilboar, particularly when you unlock its aura talent that increases nearby Beast damage. It's also suitable for rush decks due to its 'fast' trait.
| On The Prowl Gain Stealth, and stun the target when attacking from Stealth. |
 | Pack Leader Grants nearby Beast allies 30% additional Damage. |
 | Predatory Instincts BEST Deal double damage to enemies who are at more than 75% health. |
Quilboar
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. |
Darkspear Troll
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. |
Dark Iron Miner
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. |
Deck Build
tirion-fordring-deck-r26anThe Dark Iron Miner is really useful here since there are a lot of gold mines to extract resources from. It can also absorb the possession, so your high-cost units don't have to.
How to Clear
The first objective is to capture the meeting stone, but it can be quite tricky since Blind Mary can possess the first unit you send. I usually send the bandits or a miner there first, so she can possess one of them, but not result in too high of a value swing. Proceed to gather gold so you can mount an attack before she can cast possess again. Stealthy and fast units are especially effective in this map, allowing you to safely close the gap on her. Just make sure to bait her skill with low-cost units first, then deploy everything you've got.
