Soul Heroes begins at the Tower of Samsara. Gather heroes, form a party, and climb one floor at a time.

1. Gather heroes in Summon. You can summon with your starting rewards.
2. Place 5 heroes in Formation. Put durable heroes in the 2 front positions and attackers and healers in the 3 back positions.
3. Press Challenge in the Tower to climb.
4. Heroes keep fighting while the game is closed. Claim Auto Hunt rewards when you return.

Tip: A hero who can heal helps your party survive much longer.

If you get stuck on a floor, it is time for your heroes to grow stronger.

1. Increase levels with Gold and experience.
2. Equip and enhance equipment. Early stages cannot fail, so try improving it.
3. Increase stars when you collect that hero's shards.
4. Still stuck? Check the enemy's element and change heroes. In Fire → Wind → Earth → Lightning → Water → Fire, each beats the next.

Tip: These heroes later become Estate commanders. Everything you develop now helps later.

Now it is time to visit the World Map.

1. Go to the World Map.
2. Tap a resource site to send a gathering march. Resources arrive when the Airship returns to your Estate.
3. Tap a monster camp, check the enemy, and make a sortie. Choosing a Commander whose element beats it makes this easier.
4. Before leaving, check space in the Healing House. Wounded soldiers receive treatment there.

Tip: Climb the Tower while gathering troops are out to make good use of the time.

Joining a Clan opens up many more activities. You grow much faster than on your own.

1. Join a Clan you like through Clan.
2. Tap help requests in the Help list. Clanmates also shorten your construction, research, and healing.
3. Donate to Clan skills to strengthen the whole Clan.
4. Join a rally when one appears in Clan chat. Fortresses and Storm Whales are opponents to fight together.

Tip: Give help often instead of only receiving it. Clanmates will help you too.

A troop seats 1 Commander and 1 Deputy. A good combination makes the same soldiers much stronger.

1. Choose your best-developed hero as Commander. The Commander determines how many soldiers you can bring.
2. Bring the Commander's specialty troop type (Swordsmen, Archers, Mages, Shieldbearers).
3. A Deputy with the same faction or element creates Resonance and strengthens the troop.
4. Try different commander skill types: a Focus Commander + Shield Deputy, for example.
5. Change your Airship's skin element to match the enemy too.

Tip: Upgrading the Main Hall unlocks the Deputy position.

Once you know the basics, it is time to set a bigger goal.

1. Fully developed heroes leave spare shards. Convert them into Mythic Cores.
2. In Bag → Craft → Mythic Craft, start with a Mythic hero's exclusive weapon.
3. Enhancing it strengthens both Tower and Estate battles. Bring Enhancement Protection Tickets from +25.
4. Collect all 6 Mythic set pieces and enhance the exclusive weapon to +25 or higher to activate Awakened Command.

Tip: Everything you develop in the Tower connects to your Estate and Clan competition. That is part of the fun unique to Soul Heroes.
