On April 25, 2012, Ironhide released the Heroes update to both PC and iOS devices, starting with a 66% discount on heroes the following day before the Rotten Forest update for iOS devices. On April 5 2012, a retina display screenshot taken from the (then) upcoming iPad showed a mage hero (presumed to be based on the Arcane Wizard), and revealed features such as a health bar, a level system, and an experience bar. Many assumed that heroes for the remaining advanced towers would soon follow.
Following the announcement, many players believed the heroes seem to be based on certain advanced towers: the Holy Order, Rangers Hideout, and Barbarian Mead Hall respectively. Ironhide Game Studio revealed its first three heroes Gerald Lightseeker, Alleria Swiftwind, and Malik Hammerfury on 8th February, 2012 14th February, 2012 and 19th March, 2012 respectively.
