Hero Tournament of Power Win Value - February 2025

Greetings, Heroes of Dominion! Are you ready to dive into the nitty-gritty of one of the most debated topics in Hero Wars? Today, we’re unpacking the value of the Hero Resource Chest, exploring its contents, worth, and whether it’s a good investment for your emeralds. Let’s get into it!

What Is the Hero Resource Chest?

The Hero Resource Chest is a coveted reward in Hero Wars!

Each chest offers a slider-based selection, allowing you to pick specific resources. But what’s inside, and how much are these resources truly worth?

Here’s a quick overview of what you can find in the chest.

The ability to select your desired item makes these chests versatile, but their true value depends on the contents and your current in-game needs.

Calculating the Value of the Hero Resource Chest

To determine the chest’s worth, we’ll analyze it using emerald valuations based on data mined by Hero Wars experts like Calorifere, Hero Wars Guide and Load Runner. Let’s break it down:

My Best Suggestion: Absolute Artifact Chests

• Each set of 5 Absolute Artifact Chests in the above shop spreadhseet is worth 900 emeralds at the best value.

• A Hero Resource Chest contains three absolute artifact chests, totaling 540 emeralds.

Overall Chest Value

Using this math, the best-case value for a Hero Resource Chest is approximately 540 emeralds per chest. For easier calculations, you can round it to 500 emeralds if preferred.

Calculating the Value of Ink Energy

A new resource can be found at the top of the Hero Tournament of Power Leaderboard: Ink Energy. This currency is what will be used during the Folio-specific event: "Folio's Codex" to allow us opportunity to fight mini-bosses.

Each mini-boss requires 6 currency to fight.

Each mini-boss rewards Event-shop currency, and metals to rank up event relics

There are still a few unknowns when it comes to the Folio event (cost of relics, total amount of buffs needed, etc) so we're not sure the emerald value.

Evaluating the Event Rewards

To determine whether chasing rank rewards is worth it, let’s look at the emerald equivalents for different ranks:

• Rank 1: 50,000 Emeralds + 100 Hero Resource Chests: 104,000 emeralds

  • Rank 1 Relic Ink Energy: ~30 buffs*

  • Rank 5 Relic Ink Energy: ~200 buffs

• Rank 2: 25,000 Emeralds + 50 Hero Resource Chests: 52,000 emeralds

  • Rank 1 Relic Ink Energy: ~25 buffs*

  • Rank 5 Relic Ink Energy: ~150 buffs

• Rank 3: 5000 Emeralds + 10 Hero Resource Chests: 10,400 emeralds

  • Rank 1 Relic Ink Energy: ~15 buffs*

  • Rank 5 Relic Ink Energy: ~80 buffs

*assumed values based on event history (Lara Croft, Augustus, Ninja Turtles)

Is It Worth It?

The answer depends on your goals:

• Competitive Players: If being in Rank 1 means more to you than the emerald cost, the event might be worth it. Just ensure you’re not overspending compared to the chest value.

• Resource-Focused Players: If the emerald cost to achieve your desired rank exceeds the chest’s calculated worth (104,000 emeralds for Rank 1), it’s better to save your resources.

• Casual Players: For those not chasing ranks, the Hero Resource Chest still offers great value when obtained through VIP.

Final Thoughts

The Hero Resource Chest is a flexible and valuable reward, but its worth depends on your in-game goals and strategy. Before diving into any event, evaluate whether the investment aligns with your priorities. Remember, the ultimate goal is to have fun while optimizing your progress.
