New Heroes: The Powerhouses of the Court

Two legendary figures are joining the Hero rarity this season. Whether you prefer a crushing charge or a tactical long shot, there is a MVP for your deck.

Hero Dark Prince: Destructive Dismount

• The Mount: He has swapped his horse for a battle-hardened Rhino.
• The Ability: Use Destructive Dismount to break through defensive lines. The Rhino excels at trampling swarms and dealing massive tower damage.
• Pro Tip: This is a "two-stage" threat. Even if the Rhino falls, the Dark Prince continues the fight on foot. He pairs exceptionally well with Tornado to clump enemies together for a devastating Rhino charge.

Hero Bowler: Stone Swish

• The Ability: His Stone Swish allows him to plant his feet and sink "three-pointers" from across the Arena.
• Range Control: Unlike the regular Bowler, the Hero version has incredible reach, allowing him to snipe units while staying safe on your side of the river.
• How to Get Him: You can unlock Hero Bowler FOR FREE by completing the Bowler’s Mixtape Album Event, or purchase him for 200 Hero Coins.

 

Bowler’s Mixtape: How the Album Event Works

Starting at King Level 8, you can participate in this brand-new collection event. It is the most consistent way to earn high-tier rewards this month.

• Collect Snippets: Complete 6 Scenes inspired by Hero Bowler’s court skills. Snippets range from Common to Legendary rarities.
• Daily Rewards: Earn up to 4 Snippets per day simply by winning battles.
• The Duplicate System: If you get a Snippet you already own, it converts into Duplicates.
• Rarity Value: Common (3), Rare (4), Epic (5), and Legendary (6) Duplicates.
• Unique Snippet Guarantee: Exchange 6 Duplicates for a Unique Snippet, which guarantees a piece you are currently missing.
• The Ultimate Prize: Completing the full Mixtape rewards you with the Hero Bowler card, a special tower skin, and an exclusive emote.
