Which Captains should I hire and why?
Captains are unique warriors who lead marches on monsters, as well as to crypts and resource-gathering points on the World Map. The Leadership, Authority, Dominance, and Might stats of Captains are lower than your Hero's. They also have three equipment slots instead of six.
You need Captains in order to progress in the game and advance your development.
There are more ways to level up Captains than Heroes:
- By attacking a monster squad (except for rare and heroic ones).
- By attacking other players.
- By exploring Crypts — the higher the level of the Crypt, the more experience you gain.
- By using special experience chests that can be purchased as part of time-limited offers.
The most efficient way is to attack monster squads and other players.
There are 26 unique Captains in the game.
