A friendly cast of Illumination grants 4 XP and costs 4 % Wizard Strength, a Plague also grants 5 XP for 5 % Wizard Strength, and an Assassinate Draftees grants 2.5 XP for 5 % Spy Strength baseline.

	For all of these methods, Shrines and the Altar of Heroes wonder offer increases in experience: 40 % per 1 % Shrines to a maximum of 200 %, or 20 % for the Altar. These stack with each other. These bonuses will very likely cause experience to be fractional, causing the message at the top of the screen to say "You gain 2.04 XP" or similar. The Hero 'overview' you see from Disclosure will show integers, but the fraction is tracked, and can be seen in the Hero Bonuses list.

			Lead from the Front and Lead from the Shadows multiply the bonuses after the bonus XP from Shrines or Altar is locked in. Thus, if you have Lead from the Shadows, the Altar of Heroes, and cast a Fireball, you get 20 XP: 5 + 5 from Fireball itself and the Altar increasing that by 100 %, and then a 2x bonus from Lead from the Shadows. And if you invade someone for 100 acres (after generation) with 5 % Shrines and Lead from the Front, you get 100 + 200 from the invasion and the Shrines, which is then multiplied by 2.5x to 750 XP due to Lead from the Front.

	Experience can also be lost in two different ways. The most conventional way to lose experience on a hero is to be invaded: for every acre lost, a hero loses 1 XP, to a floor of whatever experience they need to retain their level. Heroes will never lose levels through invasion. Additionally, selecting a new type of hero, e.g. switching out an Alchemist for a Blacksmith, removes all experience gained within that class level. For example: switching your hero while you have a total of 1300 XP would put experience for the old class at 1200 and the new class at whatever floor it was at, starting at 0. If you later switch back to the first class, they would restart gaining experience at 1200.		Experience can also be lost in two different ways.

	Though Heroes are only a small part of your Dominion, and will not make or break a strategy, there are some strategic decisions to be made. As all bonuses are additive with other bonuses of the same name, certain Heroes and certain races do not necessarily work together well. For example, a typical [[Spirit]] build features heavy use of the ~~Spectral Warrior~~ with ~~Almost Never Dies~~ if not bottomfeeding. A Healer would therefore not do much: that Hero would only reduce casualties on ~~Phantom Knights, Banshees~~, or when the High Cleric Tower [[Wonder]] is involved, reducing the use-case. [[Icekin]] only cares about the raw WPA for the Ice Elemental OP, and if they do have maximum or near-maximum raw WPA, it is not very likely that there will be any issues with most magic [[Ops]] they want to cast on others. The Sorcerer would likely be overkill and not add much. Lastly, a [[Gnome]] Explorer will get very limited use out of the Blacksmith: Ore costs cannot be reduced, and the Rockapult is already quite cheap on platinum. Combined with not always needing to actually train DP, the actual benefits would be rather limited.		Though Heroes are only a small part of your Dominion, and will not make or break a strategy, there are some strategic decisions to be made. As all bonuses are additive with other bonuses of the same name, certain Heroes and certain races do not necessarily work together well. For example, a typical [[Spirit]] build features heavy use of the Spectre with -80 % casualties if not bottomfeeding. A Healer would therefore not do much: that Hero would only reduce casualties on other OP or DP units, or when the High Cleric Tower [[Wonder]] is involved, reducing the use-case. [[Icekin]] only cares about the raw WPA for the Ice Elemental OP, and if they do have maximum or near-maximum raw WPA, it is not very likely that there will be any issues with most magic [[Ops]] they want to cast on others.

Combined with not always needing to actually train DP, the actual benefits would be rather limited.

	On the other hand, using an Infiltrator or Sorcerer Hero as the Dominion who helps the realm get ops on other people can be a useful boost and space-saver. The Infiltrator is likely more useful in this role, as it is possible to increase WPA via the Spires [[Improvements\|Improvement]], but if the race is [[Halfling]] or [[Lizardfolk]] with a lot of Elite DP, the Sorcerer can see good use: the high native SPA means the ops needed are likely doable to get without any additional bonus.

	Rerolling a Hero is also an option that shouldn't be dismissed out of hand: requirements change as the round goes on. A converter might decide to run an Alchemist, Engineer, or Infiltrator for the first half of the round, but when the convert starts, they might switch to a Blacksmith to help with faster unit training; or they might decide to reroll into a Healer just before the first hit to have some extra casualty reduction.

	Lastly, the Healer, Infiltrator, and Sorcerer Heroes have bonuses that are directly tied to a method of experience gathering. For these Heroes, the level that they were as the button was pressed applies. For example: Dominion A has a level 1 Healer at ~~280~~ experience. They invade, hitting for 330 acres after generation, ~~levelling~~ the Healer to level 3 with ~~610~~ experience. However, casualties are still calculated with the level 1 Healer bonus.

	The bonus scales per level, and is found by multiplying the level with the scaling per level. E.g. a level 4 Blacksmith will give 0.25 % x 4 = 1.00 % military cost reduction. Additionally, [[Shrines]] and the [[Wonders\|Altar of Heroes]] increase the effectiveness of heroes. A level 10 Alchemist with the Altar of Heroes wonder would give 4.00 % extra platinum because the wonder increases hero bonuses by 100 %.

	Experience or XP for heroes is gained in four distinct ways. The simplest, and the one most people will encounter, is by doing Info Ops on other ''human'' players. Every successful Info Op grants XP to a hero. As of round 46, ~~doing Spy Ops, e.g~~. ~~Barracks Spy or Survey Dominion,~~ grants 2 XP, while ~~Magic Ops, e.g~~. ~~Clear Sight or Vision, grant 3~~ XP. ~~Thus, a typical check to see what someone's DP~~ is ~~will usually grant 7 to 11 XP~~: ~~3 for a Clear Sight, 2 each~~ for ~~a Survey Dominion~~, and ~~a Castle Spy, plus 2 each more for the potentially required Barracks Spy and Land Spy. However, opping bots does not grant any experience~~.		Experience or XP for heroes is gained in four distinct ways. The simplest, and the one most people will encounter, is by doing Info Ops on other ''human'' players. Every successful Info Op grants XP to a hero. As of round 48, this is tied to how much strength is expended. 1 % expended Wizard Strength grants 1 XP, while 1 % expended Spy Strength grants 0.5 XP. This is modified by Spyglass or being in Shadow League: those both lower strength used for info ops, and thus also lower XP attained.

	Bounties can also grant additional XP, but only for the first few you take per day. Those grant 8 XP regardless of type of op.		Bounties can also grant additional XP, but only for the first few you take per day. Those grant an additional 10 XP regardless of type of op.

	The second method of gaining experience is to use Black or War Ops on someone else. ~~There~~ is ~~a distinction between the Black Ops that are always available~~ and ~~the War Ops that are unlocked through being at war or recently invaded: Black Ops like Assassinate Draftees or Insect Swarm grant~~ 4 XP ~~per success~~, ~~while War Ops like~~ Assassinate ~~Wizards or Fireball grant 6~~ XP ~~per success~~. Magic that is reflected back via the ~~Energy Mirror~~ spell does NOT count as a success here.		The second method of gaining experience is to use Friendly, Black or War Ops on someone else. Again, this is tied to expended strength.

	The third method of gaining experience is exploring. For each acre explored _after protection_, your hero will gain 0.25 XP.		The third method of gaining experience is exploring. For each acre explored _after protection_, your hero will gain 0.6 XP.

	The final method of gaining experience is invasion. For every acre gained during an invasion, including generation, your hero gets 1 XP.

	For all of these methods, Shrines and the Altar of Heroes wonder offer increases in experience: 25 % per 1 % Shrines to a maximum of 200 %, or 20 % for the Altar. These stack with each other. These bonuses will very likely cause experience to be fractional, causing the message at the top of the screen to say "You gain 2.04 XP" or similar. ~~Though the Heroes page itself~~ will ~~only~~ show integers, the fraction is tracked, and ~~will tick over, e.g. doing 5 regular spy ops while having 5 % Shrines - a 125 % XP bonus - would grant 22.5 XP instead of~~ the ~~regular 10~~.
