• Hero Tokens are specific to each Hero; Daryl Tokens can only be used on Daryl, Glenn Tokens only on Glenn, etc.

• Unlocking a Hero does not require a free Survivor Slot, you will get an additional Survivor Slot for free when you unlock the Hero.

• Each Hero has a “Leader Trait” that is unique to them.
  • Placing a Hero in the first Survivor Slot (the slot on the far left) for a mission allows the Hero Trait to be used by ALL Survivors in the Mission.
  • If the Hero isn’t in the Leader Position, the Hero Trait is INACTIVE for ALL SURVIVORS, including the Hero.

• If you don’t have the Survivor Class Unlocked for a specific Hero (example: Assault), but get enough tokens to unlock a Hero of that class (example: Abraham/Rosita/Rufus), you will be able to unlock and use that Hero even though you have yet to unlock that Class.

• Heroes unlock at the same level as your highest Survivor, or the highest level trainable in your Training Ground building. So, if you have a level 15 Survivor, the Hero you unlock should also be level 15, or if you can train level 20 Survivors in your Training Ground, then the Hero will unlock at level 20.

• To view your Heroes and how many Tokens you need to unlock each Hero, click “Survivors” on the left side of your main/camp screen. From there, click the “Flag” icon to take you to all your Heroes.

Hero Drop Rates:

Hero “choices” happen about 10% of all choices in 15x Radio Calls, 8% in 5x Radio Calls and 5% in 1x Radio Calls. The easier it is to unlock a Hero, the more likely you are to get their tokens when you get a Hero option in a regular radio call.

Notes about the images below:

• The Traits are color coded to show when they unlock:
  • White = Uncommon
  • Green = Rare
  • Blue = Epic
  • Yellow = Legendary

---

Aaron

• Aaron Tokens are currently only available as rewards in The Distance game mode.
• Additional Aaron Leader Trait Values:
  • Level 4: 16%

---

Abraham Ford

• Abraham is a very useful Hero for people who like to use a lot of Ranged Survivor teams. With Defensive Stance and Iron Skin, Abraham is a great “meat shield” that will help reduce damage on attacks from Walkers so you can potentially earn more Stars in challenges.

---

Carl Grimes

• Update 2.9 increased Carl’s Health and Damage, and increased the chances of his Leader Trait activating, so these values are a low. 
  • New Leader Trait Values I’ve found:
    • Level 3: 55%
    • Level 4: 58%
• Although very hard to obtain, Carl can be useful in high level Challenge missions to help you get the 1-Star you need to pass a map and perhaps complete a Round.

---

Carol Peletier

• Update 2.9 increased Carol’s Health and Damage, and increased the chances of her Leader Trait activating, so these values are a low. 
  • New Leader Trait Values I’ve seen:
    • Level 4: 22%
    • Level 5: 25%
• Carol’s Leader Trait should apply to every class of Survivor, so she can be pretty useful, especially on an all Scout team with Threat Reduction.

---

Daryl

• Update 2.9 increased Daryl’s Health, and increased the chances of his Leader Trait activating, so these values are a low. 
  • Leader Trait Values I’ve seen:
    • Level 5: 30%/30%
• Daryl’s retaliate trait is very nice on a Hunter, and he can be quite useful since he can be upgraded to useable levels quicker than most other Heroes.

---

Dwight

• Dwight will be used a lot in Outpost Defense, especially when people start getting him to Legendary. I will still focus more on Sasha against high level Armored and Tanks since I’d rather have the chance at faster Charged attacks than a little more damage.

---

Eugene

• Update 2.9 increased Eugene’s Damage, and increased the chances of his Leader Trait activating, so these values are a low. 
  • Leader Trait Values I’ve seen:
    • Level 3: 13%, 13%
• Eugene’s Leader Trait has a great added benefit: when facing walkers 5 levels and above your Survivor, Eugene’s ability can turn an attack from Critical to Normal against your Survivor. As a consequence, a Survivor can completely dodge an attack against ANY LEVEL WALKER with the help of Eugene’s Leader Trait.

---

Ezekiel

• Update 2.9 increased Ezekiel’s Damage, and increased the % of his Leader Trait, so these values are a low.
  • Leader Trait Values I’ve seen:
    • Level 3: 50%
    • Level 4: 60%
• So, if you have a Survivor without the Retaliate Trait, the % listed for Ezekiel’s leader trait is the % of your Survivor’s base damage they will deal. For Survivors with Retaliate already, this % should stack.

---

Father Gabriel

• Update 2.9 increased Gabriels’s Damage, and increased the chances of his Leader Trait activating, so these values are a low.
  • These are the Leader Trait Values I’ve seen so far:
    • Level 2: 10% Dodge, 15% Lucky
    • Level 3: 10% Dodge, 16% Lucky
    • Level 4:

---

Glenn Rhee

---

Governor

• The Governor’s is great for farming extra XP and Supplies when playing Scavenge missions…especially if on a gas booster and playing extremely fast.
• Level 4 Leader Trait: 18%

---

Jerry

• Leader Trait Values:
  • Level 2: 32%, 50%
  • Level 3: 35%, 50%

---

Jesus (Paul Monroe)

• Update 2.9 increased Jesus’s Damage and Health, and increased his Leader Trait (Damage %), so these values are a low.

---

Maggie Greene

• I use Maggie on most of my Raids and Scavenge Missions, and also on early Challenge missions. The extra XP she gets you really adds up over time.

---

Merle

• Leader Trait Values I’ve seen:
  • Level 2: 14%
  • Level 3: 16%

---

Michonne

• Update 2.9 increased Michonne’s Damage, and increased the chances of her Leader Trait activating, so these values are a low.
  • Leader Trait Values I’ve seen:
    • Level 4: 22%
• Michonne’s Leader Trait is amazing, so if you like to use Melee teams (especially Scouts), she can be a very useful Hero.

---

Morgan

• Update 2.9 increased Morgan’s Damage, and increased the chances of his Leader Trait activating, so these values are a low.
  • Leader Trait Values I’ve seen:
    • Level 4: 52%
• Morgan could make a nice “meat shield” with Defensive Stance, Iron Skin, and the increased Health of a Bruiser.

---

Negan

• Update 2.9 increased Negan’s Damage, and increased the % of his Leader Trait, so these values are a low.
  • Leader Trait Values I’ve seen:
    • Level 3: 19%, 13%
    • Level 4: 23%, 16%
• “Low on Health” means when your Survivor is in their “red” health bar. So either after surviving a struggle with a Walker, or when fighting Freemen.

---

Rick Grimes

• Update 2.9 increased Ricks’s Damage and Health, and increased the % of his Leader Trait, so these values are a low.
  • Leader Trait Values I’ve seen:
    • Level 4: 36%
    • Level 5: 39%

---

Rosita Espinosa

• Many people use Rosita on certain maps where you don’t attack multiple Walkers. Personally, I use Abraham over her since the increased damage from Rosita on single walkers isn’t that much, plus Abraham gives extra health to your ranged survivors and he is more capable of taking a few attacks from walkers. However, if you are using melee Survivors (Scouts/Bruisers/Warriors), then Rosita becomes much more useful.

---

Rufus

Rufus is a “Hero” designed by Chris Hardwick and given away for free the night of Episode 7 of Season 7. He came with a special “grenade” type weapon called The Reckoning. If you didn’t get him for free, he costs 250 Rufus Tokens to unlock.

• Update 2.9 increased Rufus’s Damage, his Leader Trait % was increased, so these values are a low.
  • Leader Trait Values I’ve seen….
    • Level 3: 22%
    • Level 4: 24%

---

Sasha Williams

• Sasha is an AMAZING hero for tough Challenge Missions! Since you will be getting many body shots at those levels, Sasha will help you get your Charged Attack quicker. Pair that with Destructive Weapon Trait, and you have a better chance at succeeding in high level Challenge Missions.

---

Tara Chambler

• If a Survivor becomes Bruised/Injured, and are healed, they will still show as Bruised/Injured after the mission, and will still go to the Hospital. Also, you will not regain Stars from Challenge Missions.
• If your Survivor’s Health goes from the “Green Health Bar” to the “Red Health Bar,” the Survivor can’t be healed back into the “Green Health Bar.”
