Captains are unique warriors who lead marches to monsters, crypts and resource harvesting points on the world map. Captains’ Leadership, Authority, Dominance and Might are lower than these of your hero. They also have three equipment slots instead of six.

You need captains to progress in the game and advance your development.
 
Unlike your hero, captains may be levelled up in a vaster variety of ways:
  • You can attack any monster squad (except for Rare and Heroic ones).
  • You can attack other players.
  • You can explore crypts - the higher the crypt level, the more experience you gain.
  • You can use special experience chests purchased in limited offers.
The most efficient ways are attacking monster squads or other players.
