Confirmed Experience Requirements For Leveling Heroes In 2.0
by JR Cook - 7 years ago show comments
Community Manager Spyrian took to the official forums earlier today to share some information from Lead Game Designer Travis McGeathy regarding experience requirement in Heroes 2.0.
We have known for some time that the experience curve for Hero progression was receiving a major overhaul in Heroes 2.0. While we had preliminary numbers from the Beta the developers were quick to mention that as with most things in the beta, these numbers were subject to change. This latest post confirms the official XP requirements to in Heroes 2.0.
As a point of reference, here is the current XP required to reach each level according to Gamepedia:
- Level 2: 100,000
- Level 3: 100,000
- Level 4: 475,000
- Level 5: 475,000
- Level 6: 950,000
- Level 7: 1,425,000
- Level 8: 2,850,000
- Level 9: 4,750,000
- Level 10: 4,750,000
- Level 11: 4,750,000
- Level 12: 4,750,000
- Level 13: 4,750,000
- Level 14: 4,750,000
- Level 15: 4,750,000
- Level 16: 4,750,000
- Level 17: 4,750,000
- Level 18: 4,750,000
- Level 19: 4,750,000
- Level 20: 4,750,000
As you can see, it will take slightly more experience to level up in the beginning but much less experience to level up at the later levels. With each Hero Level equaling one Player level, and one Player Level equaling one Loot Chest, this smoother progression will result in more frequent rewards for players.
With the release of Heroes 2.0 all of your Heroes will be converted to the appropriate levels under the new XP system. Keep in mind that you cannot lose levels, so if you have a lower level Hero that doesn’t have enough XP to reach their current level under the new system they will still retain that level.

What happens to the experience that you’ve gained on a higher level character? What I mean is if you have gained 3.7 million xp on your murky @ level 14 are you going to be able to keep that xp?
It will take into account all of your XP for a Hero, even the partial xp you have towards the next level. The only exception is Level 20, because the current system doesn’t track xp after 20.
