## Notes

Campaign mission 1-10 on hard mode is the most food-efficient level in the game by a large margin. The mission is level 10, but the base food cost is only 4 food. On top of this, rewards are significantly greater due to there being 5 stages and a boss—greater than any rewards in the entire second campaign until its boss or 1-2 missions prior for hard/extreme. This means four level 1 heroes can farm a boss stage with premium rewards for only 4 food via 1-10 on hard.

Some players leave a couple of heroes at level 1 specifically to take advantage of 1-10's efficiency. At only 4 stars, 2-3 level 1 heroes should have no problem completing the mission.
