Booster Pack Heroes Beginner Guide: How to Play Your First Runs

The goal of your first runs

Open booster packs, collect heroes and spells, and survive the monsters attacking your tower. Surviving earns Mastery, which you can use to upgrade your collection. Defeating chapter bosses unlocks more packs, heroes and challenges. The official store page describes the core loop.

First steps: packs, coins and upgrades

1. Open the starter pack and read what each new hero or spell does.
2. Watch the tower fight and check the rewards after a run. In a recorded playthrough, the player earns Mastery and uses it on upgrades (watch from 0:47).
3. Check the shop for packs you can buy with coins. The same playthrough shows income and the pack shop early on (watch from 1:12).
4. Open new packs and compare the upgrades available to you. Repeat as you progress through the chapter.

Coins and Mastery: what is the difference?

Coins are used to buy booster packs in the shop. Mastery is used for upgrades. Read the cost and description of an upgrade before spending, and check your available coins before buying a pack. The early-game examples above show both systems in use; exact values and unlock timing may change with updates.

Which upgrades should a beginner choose?

Start by reading what an upgrade changes, then try one that supports a hero or spell you already use. Compare the result over several runs rather than assuming one purchase works for every build. Pack draws vary, so adapt to the cards you actually receive. This is a general approach, not a tested tier list.

How the shop reroll works

A shop reroll button appears as an unlock in the recorded playthrough (watch from 14:59). If you do not see it yet, keep progressing and check your available unlocks. The footage alone does not establish an exact unlock condition for every version.

What comes after the first chapter?

The publisher says defeating chapter bosses opens new packs, heroes, spells and challenges. Its launch announcement lists 14 chapters, 10 booster packs with 40 units, more than 500 upgrades and 40 relics for the full release. Those counts describe the launch announcement and may change with updates. Read the gameplay guide for an overview or the full-game page for the publisher’s content list.
