Free-to-play players can reach VIP 10 in Hero Clash without spending real money by accumulating non-monetary VIP experience points (EXP) awarded through recurring quest chests, campaign clears, account level milestones, and trial floors.
Because non-spending accounts receive VIP EXP in fixed amounts rather than percentage increases, early tiers (VIP 3 through VIP 6) unlock relatively quickly. The climb toward VIP 9 and VIP 10 slows considerably due to expanding point requirements, making daily consistency essential.
Recurring Sources of Free VIP EXP
The primary engine for steady VIP progression is completing daily and weekly quest loops. Missing these resets permanently forfeits fixed point pools that cannot be recovered retroactively.
Daily Quest Chests
Your daily quest gauge fills by completing standard operational tasks:
- Sending friend points to active friends
- Using free Arena challenge tickets
- Sweeping resource raids
- Dispatching heroes on Tavern quests
The final milestone chest in the daily meter awards a guaranteed allotment of VIP EXP alongside diamonds and summon currency. Complete these tasks before the 24-hour server reset.
Weekly Milestone Chests
Weekly chests operate on cumulative points earned across consecutive days. Higher-tier weekly chests provide significantly larger lump sums of VIP EXP than individual daily chests. To hit all thresholds before the weekly reset:
- Sweep Gold and EXP Trials and collect fast rewards every morning.
- Spend all free Arena tickets daily to satisfy battle count thresholds.
- Complete guild boss attempts immediately after daily reset to maintain guild activity requirements.
One-Time Milestone Rewards
Outside of recurring quests, clearing permanent game milestones provides large, one-time injections of VIP points that accelerate progression through intermediate tiers.
| Milestone Source | Progression Requirement | Reward Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign Chapters | Defeat chapter boss encounters using faction counter advantages. | Grants lump-sum VIP point caches upon clearing specific boss stages. |
| Account Level Checkpoints | Spend daily stamina and collect fast-reward account EXP. | Triggers periodic level-up packages containing bonus VIP EXP. |
| Trial Tower Floors | Adjust crowd control and hero placement to bypass wall stages. | Delivers milestone reward chests containing VIP progression points. |
Perks Unlocked at VIP 10
Reaching VIP 10 provides permanent operational upgrades that speed up daily farming routines and increase resource acquisition caps:
- Automation and Skips: Unlocks full battle skips and accelerated sweeping across multiple game modes, including instant clears for resource trials and streamlined Tavern dispatches.
- Raised Daily Purchase Limits: Increases the daily cap on diamond-purchased fast rewards, Arena challenges, and guild boss attempts, accelerating long-term hero leveling.
- Enhanced Daily VIP Gifts: Upgrades the permanent daily VIP gift chest to supply higher-tier hero shards, larger gold reserves, and extra summoning resources every day.
Progression Habits to Avoid Campaign Bottlenecks
Because milestone VIP points depend heavily on pushing campaign chapters and Trial Tower floors, allocate your free-to-play resources carefully to prevent combat power walls:
- Invest in a Single Hyper-Carry: Spreading ascension materials across multiple damage dealers dilutes your combat power. Direct your top gear, artifacts, and awakening resources into one high-tier S+ carry capable of clearing campaign stages above your team's average power.
- Reserve Diamonds for System Value: Avoid spending free diamonds on standard summons outside of dedicated summoning events. Use diamonds primarily for daily fast-reward collections, high-tier Tavern refreshes, and event milestones that grant progression chests.
- Join an Active Guild: Consistently defeating guild bosses unlocks cooperative gift chests, yielding auxiliary resources that sustain your hero leveling pace.

This helped me understand heroes much better.
Good guide for Hero Clash players. The heroes part was useful.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
