Headquarters#
The Headquarters (HQ) is the core of your base and the master gate on nearly all progression. It levels from 1 to 35.
What it gates#
- Hero level cap = HQ × 5. An HQ at the cap of 35 lets heroes reach level 175.
- Building unlocks. Each HQ level opens new buildings — for example Laboratory at HQ 7, Toxic Fog Garden at HQ 8, Trade Center at HQ 9, Dawn Tower at HQ 11, Steel Factory at HQ 14, and Lab No.2 at HQ 18.
- Troop tier eligibility — gated by HQ level on top of camp level (Tier 3 at HQ 10, Tier 4 at HQ 20, Tier 6 at HQ 30).
Requirements#
Upgrading the HQ requires the City Walls, and the HQ 6 upgrade specifically requires the Military Center. Because hero cap, building unlocks, and troop tiers all hang off it, the HQ level effectively sets the ceiling for the rest of the base.
