Hero Waves

Heroes Attack the Castle

Be The Final Boss flips the TD script: instead of heroes defending, you face waves of heroic invaders assaulting your castle. Each wave spawns a set of heroes that path toward the structure, fight minions along the route, and deal damage if they arrive. Wave number increases difficulty — health pools and damage typically scale so passive strategies eventually fail.

Apparently Champions designs hero waves as the primary pacing mechanism for currency income and skill checks. Surviving longer waves funds stronger minions and skills for the next escalation.

Spawn Behavior

Heroes spawn at map entry points and follow pathing toward the castle. Early waves teach routes with weaker units; later waves add volume and tougher archetypes. Spawn intervals may be continuous or batched — observe the first three waves each session because Early Access patches can adjust timing.

Some heroes may prioritize minions; others rush the structure. Identifying rushers matters for minion placement and personal weapon cleanup.

• Waves increment after each assault is cleared or timer ends
• Heroes spawn at designated map entrances
• Pathing converges on the castle objective
• Composition changes as wave number increases
• Leakage past minions threatens castle health directly

Scaling and Difficulty

Hero health and damage generally scale with wave index. Exact formulas are community-derived in Early Access until official documentation exists. Practical impact: minions that cleared wave five comfortably may struggle at wave eight without upgrades — plan spending between waves accordingly.

Elite or boss heroes may appear on milestone waves with unique abilities such as healing allies or shielding damage. These warrant priority targeting per wave defense tactics.

Rewards Per Wave

Clearing waves grants Coins and Souls used for progression. Bonus rewards may tie to castle health remaining or speed clears. Extending personal best wave counts is the main farming loop alongside codes for lump sums.

When progress stalls at a wave number, diagnose whether scaling outpaced minion DPS, castle health, or personal weapon cleanup — not whether you need a different code.

Future Wave Content

Early Access roadmaps often add new hero factions, elemental resistances, or wave modifiers. Track patch notes and revisit tier lists when new heroes invalidate old placements.
