Hero Levels are an aspect of Heroes of the Storm. It applies to specific heroes rather than the player as a whole. They are gained through playing matches in Versus and Cooperative Mode. All heroes begin at level 1, with no level cap. Level progression unlocks rewards such as gold, portraits, and Mastery Taunts.[1]

Rewards are as follows:

  • Level 5: the hero's portrait in the Collection; 500 gold
  • Level 10: Loot Chest with at least one item linked to the hero guaranteed
  • Level 15: the hero's master portrait in the Collection; the hero's Mastery Taunt

Development

Hero Levels were previously known as "Hero Quests" and subsequently "Progression Levels". Players were required to complete Versus Mode matches only in order to progress through Hero Quests and unlock the rewards they had to offer.[1] These quests were unlocked at levels 10 and 20. The first set of these quests, unlocked at level 10, allowed players to dig into individual heroes and complete a series of three Basic Hero Quests (Hero Quests 1, 2, and 3). After reaching level 20, players were able to progress their individual characters through a series of Epic Hero Quests (Hero Quests 4, 5, and 6). Completing such quests added to customization options.[2]

Prior to Heroes of the Storm 2.0, progression also enabled mastery skins for purchase.
