🏗️ All Buildings — Detailed Guide
The Town Hall is the central building of Hero Town and the single most important structure to upgrade. Each upgrade level raises the maximum number of heroes you can have active simultaneously, unlocks new building slots around your town, and increases the overall gold production rate. Never neglect the Town Hall — it is always the highest-priority upgrade.
📈 Upgrade Benefits
- ▸ Level 1→2: +2 hero slots, +1 building plot
- ▸ Level 3: Unlocks Archery Range
- ▸ Level 5: Unlocks Magic Tower, +50% gold generation
- ▸ Level 7: Unlocks Holy Shrine
- ▸ Level 10 (Max): Unlocks all building slots, +200% gold generation
The Training Ground permanently increases the base attack stat of all Warriors and Hunters in your party. Upgrading it is the most direct way to boost your physical DPS heroes and is essential from the early game onward. The Training Ground also enables the Sparring challenge event that yields equipment materials.
📈 Upgrade Benefits
- ▸ Each level: +5% attack to Warriors and Hunters
- ▸ Level 4: Unlocks Sparring Event (daily reward)
- ▸ Level 8 (Max): +40% attack to Warriors and Hunters
The Archery Range boosts the attack speed and range of all Archer class heroes. Given that Archers are among the best AoE damage dealers in the game, keeping the Archery Range upgraded is critical for clearing monster waves efficiently. At higher levels, it also extends the effective combat radius around your town.
📈 Upgrade Benefits
- ▸ Each level: +4% attack speed to Archers, +3% range
- ▸ Level 5: Unlocks Firing Range minigame
- ▸ Level 8 (Max): +32% attack speed, +24% range to Archers
The Magic Tower amplifies the spell power and reduces the cast time of all Wizard class heroes. It also passively generates Magic Crystals — a mid-game currency used to unlock Skill Tree nodes. The Magic Tower is essential for players who want to use Zephyrus or Kael as their primary damage dealers.
📈 Upgrade Benefits
- ▸ Each level: +6% spell power to Wizards, -2% cast time
- ▸ Level 3: Begins generating Magic Crystals (2/hour)
- ▸ Level 8 (Max): +48% spell power, -16% cast time, 8 Magic Crystals/hour
The Holy Shrine enhances the healing output and skill cooldowns of Paladin and Priest heroes. At Level 3, it also unlocks the Blessing Ceremony — a daily ritual that grants a temporary town-wide buff for all heroes. Upgrading the Holy Shrine is mandatory once you have Elara or Sera in your party.
📈 Upgrade Benefits
- ▸ Each level: +5% healing power to Priests and Paladins, -3% skill cooldown
- ▸ Level 3: Unlocks daily Blessing Ceremony (+15% all stats for 2 hours)
- ▸ Level 8 (Max): +40% healing power, -24% cooldowns, upgraded Blessing (+30%)
The Garden Shed manages your fruit orchard system. Upgrading it unlocks additional orchard plots, reduces the fruit respawn timer, and allows you to grow rarer fruit varieties that grant stronger Bond bonuses when gifted to heroes. The Garden Shed is optional in the early game but becomes highly valuable for long-term hero stat optimisation.
📈 Upgrade Benefits
- ▸ Level 1: Unlocks basic Apple and Pear orchards
- ▸ Level 2: Reduces fruit timer from 6h to 4h
- ▸ Level 4: Unlocks rare Strawberry and Blueberry orchards
- ▸ Level 6 (Max): 5 orchard plots, 2-hour fruit timer, all fruit types available
The Blacksmith allows you to forge and upgrade equipment for your heroes using materials collected from monster battles. Higher-level equipment provides significant stat bonuses and is the primary way to power up individual heroes beyond their base stats and skill tree. A high-level Blacksmith is the hallmark of a well-developed Hero Town.
📈 Upgrade Benefits
- ▸ Level 1: Basic weapon and armour forging
- ▸ Level 3: Unlocks equipment enchantment
- ▸ Level 5: Unlocks Rare-tier equipment recipes
- ▸ Level 8 (Max): Epic equipment forging, -20% crafting material cost
The Potion Workshop brews consumable potions that can be used to instantly restore hero HP, grant temporary attack buffs, or speed up building upgrades. Potions are particularly useful before attempting Field Boss encounters. The workshop passively produces one basic potion per hour at Level 1.
📈 Upgrade Benefits
- ▸ Level 1: Brews basic HP and Attack potions (1/hr)
- ▸ Level 3: Unlocks Speed Potion (reduces upgrade timer)
- ▸ Level 6 (Max): 3 potions/hour, unlocks Legendary potions

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important building in Hero Town?
The Town Hall is by far the most important building. Every other building's unlock, your hero capacity, and your gold generation rate all depend on Town Hall level. Always upgrade it first before spending resources on anything else.
How many buildings can I have in Hero Town?
The number of building plots expands as you upgrade your Town Hall. At maximum Town Hall level (Level 10), all building slots are unlocked. The base game launches with 8 core building types confirmed at launch.
Which buildings should I upgrade first?
Priority order: Town Hall → Training Ground → Garden Shed → Archery Range → Blacksmith → Potion Workshop → Magic Tower → Holy Shrine. Follow this sequence for the smoothest progression curve.
Does building placement matter?
Yes. Certain buildings — particularly the Holy Shrine and Magic Tower — emit aura effects that benefit heroes within their radius. Placing these centrally within your town layout maximises their coverage. See our Town Layout Tips guide for detailed placement maps.
Can buildings be demolished or relocated?
Buildings can be relocated within your town at any time at no cost, allowing you to optimise your layout as you unlock new plots. Demolishing buildings is not available — plan your construction order thoughtfully.
What generates the most gold passively?
Upgrading the Town Hall to high levels is the single best passive gold boost. The Magic Tower also passively generates Magic Crystals, which can be converted to gold in a pinch. Active monster defeat from a strong hero party generates the most gold overall.
