Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers about HeroBrowser, the free browser RPG auto battler. Class facts on this page are generated from the live game data.
What is HeroBrowser?
HeroBrowser is a free browser RPG: a pixel art auto battler dungeon crawler that runs in your web browser with no download. A god summons your soul into a hero vessel and sends it down a dungeon of one hundred floors. Combat is automatic. You make the decisions between fights: gold upgrades, gear, skills, and talents.
Is HeroBrowser an RPG?
Yes. HeroBrowser is a role playing game built on an auto battler combat model. You choose one of 6 hero classes, level it up, and build it with gear, skills, talents, runes, and loot across a hundred floor dungeon. The one difference from a traditional RPG is that you do not issue commands during a fight: combat resolves on its own, and every decision you make happens between fights.
Is HeroBrowser free to play?
Yes. HeroBrowser is free and plays instantly in the browser, with no install and no download. One premium hero and an optional player trading market exist, but no purchase is needed to reach floor 100.
Do I need an account to play?
No. Guest mode starts immediately, saves your progress in your browser, and plays Normal difficulty. Signing in with Google or an email account stores your save on the server, lets you continue on any device, places you on the leaderboard, and unlocks the deeper difficulty tiers: Hard, Nightmare, and Infernal.
Which classes can I play?
HeroBrowser has 6 playable classes. 5 are free (Knight, Mage, Healer, Archer, Samurai); Brakkar the Berserker is a premium class.
What happens when my hero dies?
A defeat sends you back to floor 1. Permanent upgrades and talents carry over, so every new run starts stronger. In the optional Hardcore mode a defeat also destroys your equipped gear.
How are the 100 floors structured?
Every 10th floor is a boss fight, and each act hides a guardian miniboss partway through. The biome changes roughly every ten floors; see Biomes & Floors for the full structure. Deeper acts throw more enemy waves per floor.
Does HeroBrowser have difficulty modes?
Yes, four: Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Infernal. Guest accounts are limited to Normal; signing in unlocks the rest. Hard unlocks when you clear floor 100 on Normal and Nightmare when you clear it on Hard, and clearing floor 100 carries your hero on to floor 1 of the next tier as soon as it is unlocked (the first Normal clear asks first, through the New Game Plus choice). You can always go back to a lower tier from the Portal. Infernal is the endgame tier: it needs a Nightmare floor 100 clear, mythic-or-better gear in every slot, and a completed Rebirth, and in exchange it swaps in six new biomes, rare-and-up loot only, and Abraxion waiting on floor 100.
How do I make my gear stronger in HeroBrowser?
Salvage gear you no longer need into Arcanite, then spend that Arcanite plus gold at the forge. Each of your seven equipment slots has its own forge level, up to +20. The level belongs to the slot rather than the item, so it survives every gear swap. Forging only adds flat Attack, Magic, Defense, HP, and Resistance; it never changes percentage stats such as crit chance or lifesteal. See The Forge for the full cost ladder.
What is Radiant Tempering?
Radiant Tempering is the endgame tier of the forge, covering levels +11 to +20. Those levels lean on Radiant Arcanite, though they still ask for coarse and refined too, their gold price is far above the standard curve, and every try can miss: a miss spends its cost but never takes a level away. Each tempered level also grants 100 percent of a normal level's bonus, so it is surplus progression for players with a deep-run surplus rather than a new power baseline.
What is the best rarity of item in HeroBrowser?
Divine is the rarest and strongest tier. Above legendary sit three apex tiers: cursed, mythic, and divine. Cursed can drop from any enemy deep in the descent (on Infernal, only from boss and guardian kills, the same kills that can drop a mythic) and has no crafted path. Mythic and divine drop from boss and guardian kills, and each also has one forged path through the Cube's Ascension recipe: mythic once Nightmare is unlocked, divine once Infernal is unlocked. Cursed relics pair a powerful upside with a real drawback and only one can be worn at a time. All three can also be summoned in the Summoning hall, and a diamond-paid shop restock deep in the descent can rarely stock a mythic. Legendary is the highest rarity the shop's regular stock and the Cube's ordinary fusion can reach; see Items for every piece.
What are Vows?
Vows are an optional standing pledge you can seal before any descent, trading a restriction for a reward. Every vow belongs to one class, and across all classes 36 trade vows pair a restriction with a real combat bonus, and 12 Ordeals give up a bonus entirely in exchange for richer loot instead. Nothing about them is required to clear the dungeon; see Vows & Ordeals for the full list.
Why did my vow get skipped?
A pledged vow is skipped at the start of a descent, rather than sealed, when your currently equipped gear already violates its restriction, such as an empty-slot vow with something equipped in that slot. It stays pledged and will try again on your next descent, so unequip the conflicting item first if you want it active this run. See Vows & Ordeals for how sealing works.
Do broken vows still pay?
No. Breaking a vow's restriction forfeits its bonus and its loot weight for the rest of the run, and applies a lasting scar of 30% less Max HP until your next wipe or fresh descent. See Vows & Ordeals for the full break-scar table.
Can I play HeroBrowser on my phone?
Yes. HeroBrowser is designed portrait first for phones and runs in any modern mobile or desktop browser. The same save follows you across devices when you sign in.
How do I earn Red Diamonds?
Red Diamonds are earned for free. Finite, one-time milestones pay out for boss and guardian floor clears, floor 100 clears, and Hardcore titles, and two daily faucets top that up: 10 the first time each day one of your heroes claims every core quest on its Daily Ritual board, plus 2 per boss or guardian kill for your first 20 such kills each day. The two daily faucets cap at 50 Red Diamonds per day; see Progression for the full milestone list.
Can I convert Gold Diamonds into Red Diamonds?
Yes, one for one, from the market's Buy tab or the in-game menu. The conversion only runs in that direction: Gold Diamonds (HeroBrowser's premium, purchased currency) can become Red Diamonds (the free, earned currency), but Red Diamonds can never turn back into Gold Diamonds.
How do I get hero skins?
From the "Skins" entry on your hero's Equip tab. Two are direct buys with no chance involved: the Red Hunter skin costs 2000 Red Diamonds, and the Summer skin costs 700 Gold Diamonds. A third comes from the season's Hero Pass rewards.
Do skins give any advantage?
A little. The skin your hero is wearing adds a small bonus to two stats, +1% each on an epic skin and +1.5% each on a legendary one. A skin you own but are not wearing adds nothing.
Does HeroBrowser have an ending?
Yes. The first time a hero clears floor 100 on Normal difficulty, a story cutscene plays, followed by a one-time New Game Plus choice: descend again on Hard, or stay on Normal. It plays exactly once per hero; a later floor 100 clear on Normal, Hard, or Nightmare never triggers it again. Clearing floor 100 on Infernal plays the true ending and sends that hero back into Infernal from floor 1.
Can I give items to other players, or sell them for real money?
Yes to both, within limits. Any piece of gear in your bag can be sent to another player: enter their Invite code (found under Settings, Invite a Friend), confirm, and it lands in their mailbox. You can recall it until they claim it. Selling an item to another player for real money outside the game is allowed, but entirely at your own risk: HeroBrowser is not part of that deal, cannot verify payment, and will not reverse a claimed gift or refund either side. Accounts and Gold Diamonds can never be sold or transferred; see the Terms of Service for the full rules.
Is my account and my data secure?
Signing in, with Google or with an email and password, gives your browser a session that lasts 14 days; HeroBrowser does not use cookies for this. Signing out removes that session from the device you signed out on. A password reset link always arrives by email, and we never ask for your password anywhere else. Playing as a guest keeps your entire save on your own device only; it is never uploaded to our servers. To report a security problem, see /.well-known/security.txt for how to reach us.
