1. Send Your Hero(es) on an Adventure
Adventures are the main way to earn $HERO, utility items, and crafting materials to power up your team.
Currently there are 2 Adventure modes available: Battle and Fishing.
Battle
Battling is the main adventure mode and requires an OCH Weapon NFT equipped on your Genesis Hero. There are two paths you can take, but as a beginner you'll most likely want to start with Underlings.
Underlings: Safer battles to earn $HERO used for leveling up and upgrading
Bosses: Riskier battles that can lead to death—but offer crafting materials and greater rewards

Fishing
Fishing is a chill, low-risk way to earn $HERO and discover support items. No OCH Weapon NFT is required so it's perfect for new players easing into the game.
Earn Weapon Fragments, which can be remixed into a chance at a common weapon
Collect Vouchers and other support items to help you later in battle

2. Wait
Once your Heroes are on an Adventure, they’ll be locked in for a set time—duration depends on the zone’s conditions.
💡 While your heroes on an Adventure, your assets will be staked. This means that your NFTs (Heroes, weapons, gear, etc.) will be held by our game contracts until you return your heroes home.
3. Claim Rewards
When the timer hits zero, your Heroes are ready to return home. Depending on the Adventure mode, they’ll bring back $HERO, crafting materials, utility items—or a mix of all three.
These rewards are key to leveling up your Heroes and upgrading their gear.

4. Upgrade and Optimize
Use the rewards your Heroes earned on their Adventures to level them up, upgrade their gear, and maintain their weapons for future runs.
This section will provide a brief overview on the main upgrade and maintenance mechanics in the game.
Train your Heroes
Training is how you level up your Heroes
It’s the core way to increase your earning power and progress in the game. When starting out, it’s also where most of your $HERO will be spent.

Upgrading Weapons: Gacha and Remixing
Weapons increase ATK, directly boosting your Hero’s earning power.
Stronger weapons can be obtained by pulling from Gacha Machines using Gacha Tokens or $HERO.
You can also upgrade existing weapons using the Gacha Remixer — a recycling system that takes low-tier items for a chance at higher-tier weapons.
Mending Weapons
As you send you Heroes off to battle, you may notice their weapons sharpness and durability decreasing every time they return home.
Maintaning these stats is key to optimizing a Hero's earning potential.

Crafting Gear
Crafting gear is a new addition to Onchain Heroes. Gear increases DEF, a core stat for surviving tougher zones and unlocking better rewards. Crafting requires materials dropped by bosses.

5. Repeat
Once you've optimized your Hero(es), you're ready to send them to their next adventure! Each cycle pushes your progression forward, unlocking tougher zones and more valuable rewards—optimize, strategize, and climb the ranks.
