Dear Heroes,
We have received many questions about whether creature upgrades will be available in "Might & Magic: Heroes Online," and the answer was: "creature upgrades will not be available in the beta version, but this feature will definitely be added to the game later."
Many players and fans of the game have told the developers that creature upgrades are an important part of the game and that the possibility of adding this option to the game's release should be considered. Player and fan feedback is very important to the developers, and they have decided to add the ability to upgrade creatures to the game's release version.
So, today we want to introduce you to the upgraded creatures and tell you how you can get them in the game.
Each upgraded creature is a variant of its equivalent regular creature. Regular and upgraded creatures have the same gameplay and aesthetics, but they will still be quite easy to distinguish. All the abilities of regular creatures will also be available to upgraded creatures, but upgraded creatures will have increased base stats and will also have additional abilities.
There are two possible ways to get upgraded creatures.
You can hire them in your city when all the requirements for hiring them are met, or you can upgrade regular creatures in the capitals of your Factions (Falcon Nest or Nar-Eresh).
Let's talk about hiring upgraded creatures in your city.
Before you can hire upgraded creatures in your city, you will need to build a new building – the Builder's Hall. Once the Builder's Hall is built, you can choose a dwelling for creatures and upgrade it. After the dwelling upgrade is complete, you can hire regular and upgraded creatures in it.

Now you can choose which creatures to hire – regular or upgraded. However, you will need 5 regular creatures to hire one upgraded creature. This means that if you have 25 regular creatures available for hire in your dwelling, you can only hire 5 upgraded creatures. Regular creatures + Gold + Crystals – that's all you need to hire upgraded creatures.
The level of your Builder's Hall determines how many dwellings you can upgrade in your city. If you want to hire upgraded creatures in two dwellings, you will need to increase the level of the Builder's Hall first.
Those of you who have already played "Might & Magic: Heroes Online" or regularly read the blog know that Crystals are a rare resource and can only be obtained in the later provinces. This has changed slightly; Crystals will still remain a rare resource, but you will be able to obtain them from approximately level seven.
The Creature Mentor will work a little differently than your city. This is an NPC in the capital of your Faction, with whom you can interact in the same way as with merchants. A new window will open, where you can drag regular troops from your current army. If you have enough resources for this, you can upgrade the troops and pick them up from the Mentor after some time.
Different slots are required for upgraded and regular creatures – they cannot be combined into one slot in a hero's army, in a garrison, or with a troop manager. This means that Guardians and Guards need two different slots.
