Unlike battling Underlings, Bosses don’t earn $HERO. Instead, they drop crafting materials used to craft gear and other valuable items for progression.

**Heroes face a Death Risk when battling Bosses, raising the stakes but also increasing the rewards.**

Once a Hero is sent to battle a Boss, they are locked in battle for 12 hours and can’t be returned until the timer ends.
