Embark on your Heroes of Mavia journey with these invaluable beginner and advanced tips. Whether you're strategizing for defense or optimizing resource farming, these insights will elevate your gameplay.
Tip 1: Prioritize HQ Level 3
Upgrade to HQ Level 3 immediately to unlock critical features. Focus on:
- Gold Storages (upgrade first)
- Gold Collectors (aim for 15,000 Gold)
👉 Why HQ Level 3 is game-changing
Tip 2: Avoid Ranked Mode Initially
First 48 hours: Steer clear of Ranked Mode to:
- Preserve your Shield
- Farm Gold and Oil passively
Tip 3: Complete Missions Early
Missions 1-5 grant starter resources. Use free Strikers (pre-lab upgrade) for efficiency.
Tip 4: Leverage Free Strikers
Strikers are cost-free until lab upgrades. Deploy them aggressively in early missions.
Tip 5: Centralize Your HQ
For defensive play, position HQ at the center of your base. (Skip if farming resources.)
Tip 6: Upgrade Towers Before HQ
At HQ Level 4+:
- Max out Towers
- Then upgrade Headquarters
Tip 7: Shielded Defense Upgrades
Upgrading defenses during Shields prevents vulnerability.
Tip 8: Target Defenses First
Destroy enemy defenses early to:
- Simplify battles
- Boost star earnings
Tip 9: Stars Aren’t Everything
Sometimes: Exit battles early to:
- Save Hero health
- Prioritize resource gains
How Stars & Trophies Work
| Objective | Stars Earned |
|--------------------|-------------|
| Destroy HQ | ★ |
| 50% Total Damage | ★ |
| 100% Destruction | ★★★ |
Note: Trophies scale with stars.
Tip 10: Pre-Battle Unit Production
Start unit production before raiding—units won’t build if you return home mid-raid.
Tip 11: Replace Units Post-Battle
All deployed units (except Heroes) must be replaced, even if undamaged.
Tip 12: Join an Alliance
👉 Boost your strategy with alliances
