You’ll be able to skip cutscenes when needed, and your first battles will consist of a story related team. You’ll notice that there’s a lot of animated sequences whenever heroes use their skills, so things might have a slow start. Battles are automatic as well, so take note of the ways on how you can make your hero stronger. Once you are in the adventure map, you’ll be able to fight more enemies, and claim chests that they are guarding. Make sure to claim these chests since they are resources that you’ll be needing.

Claim your Star-rating Chests

As you go through your adventures, you’ll be able to complete a different series of battles along the way. The battles that you complete will provide you with star ratings, and your goal is to get a perfect victory which provides 3 stars. This will be based on how many heroes you have left on your team, or how fast you’re able to clear your opponents.

When checking the current chapter you are in, you’ll notice that there’s a progression bar on the lower-left side that has 3 chests available. These are Star-rating chests, and completing the stars that are required will provide you with useful resources. Make sure to claim these items once you have met their requirements, since all resources that can be claimed will be needed for your progression.

Work on your Feature Manual

When playing Monkey King: Arena of Heroes, a lot of your progression will be based on your current level. As you clear different chapters and stages, you’ll be able to acquire experience that will increase the level of your account and in doing so, you will be able to unlock different features. From the game’s home menu, you will be able to see the feature manual on the upper-left side of the screen, just to the right-side of your HP bar.

Usually, this will show you a feature that will next be unlocked upon achieving a specific level. If you tap on this section, you’ll get more details as well as mini quests that you can complete in order to claim a lot of rewards. For example, you’ll be able to learn about features such as Hero Cultivation, Armaments, Relics, etc. Each of them will provide you with exploration quests for rewards.

There are a variety of heroes available that can be summoned, and they’ll each have different rarities. When forming your own team, you will want to have legendaries as much as possible since they have the highest potential in terms of becoming stronger.

Complete tasks and claim benefits

Playing through the Adventure mode of the game will let you experience the story through different chapters and sub stages. Whenever you’re able to complete these areas, there are corresponding rewards that you can claim from the game’s main screen. If you look at the left side, you should be able to see a menu that will show you a task that you’ll need to complete.

== Increase your Hero’s CP==

CP, also known as Combat Power, is the basis on how strong your hero is currently. When checking your hero lineup, you’ll be able to view all of your heroes and check out their stats, skills, etc. Their CP is displayed at the bottom side using a number. Whenever fighting enemies, they also have CP as well, and you should monitor how much they have in order for you to have an idea if you’ll be able to defeat them successfully.

Increasing the CP of your heroes will be an ongoing process as you progress in the game. There are a variety of ways for you to increase this, such as increasing your hero’s level, breakthrough, level of equipment, relics, and more.
