Booster Pack Heroes beginner guide

This page is about the video game Booster Pack Heroes. English search still mixes the name with other games, so the loop below is only this one: open a pack, strengthen what you pulled, survive the wave, then move to the next realm.

The loop, in the order the store describes it

Open packs. Coins buy packs in the shop. The help text says you have daily coin income, and finished quests raise that income.
Spend Mastery. Survive to earn it, then spend it on the skill tree. The demo file lists income nodes, cursor nodes, and hero nodes. The official post says 500+ upgrades; the demo file names 283 upgrade lines. Both numbers stay.
Hold the tower. Heroes fight the horde. Foil cards are rarer and stronger. Foil monsters, foil heroes, and foil tomes are three separate collections.
Clear and move. From a point in the campaign, chapters add modifiers that change the fight. Chapter select lets you replay a cleared chapter. The boss comes back as a foil. Only that chapter’s monster quests advance when you replay it.

Prestige, without inventing a build

The door text in the demo says Act 2 resets the skill tree and keeps Foilium upgrades, your Foilium balance, and the collection. Act 3 also keeps the bestiary. Patch 1.0.30D says that after you clear Act 1 or Act 2 you can keep playing and quests still move. I will not tell you which node to buy first. Nobody has published a method I can cite for that.

Relics, in one paragraph

The launch post says 40 relics combine into builds. The demo file has 43 named lines, including at least one cursed relic, Ritual Dagger. A shop jackpot can hand you one relic pack. Players on Steam have written that they stalled at 38 or 39 relics. Destroying a relic can unlock an extra slot, and Foilium can repair a destroyed one. The full table is on the relics page.

Names of packs are on packs. Hero and tome names are on heroes. Chapter titles I can actually name are on chapters.

FAQ

What do I do first?

Open packs with coins, put heroes around the tower, and spend Mastery you earn by surviving. Clear the chapter boss to move on.

What is Mastery?

The in-game help text says you earn Mastery by surviving and spend it on the skill tree.

Where do relics come from?

A relic pack can drop from a shop jackpot, a quest, or Relic Hunt. Steam threads say there is no steady farm. Destroying a relic can open another slot.
