## Leveling

Basic hero leveling is done using battle manuals to give them experience points (EXP). In some cases, battle manuals may be specific to a given hero. At every tenth level, it's necessary to rank the hero up to level them further, which requires badges with a rarity matching that of the hero in question.

## Heroes in adventure

Adventure is one of the types of gameplay in *Doomsday: Last Survivors*. This involves taking three **heroes** through various areas of the wasteland where they can find items and fight Zombie hordes in a real-time RPG-style battle system. Heroes use their basic attacks automatically as Zombies come within range. The active skills of the three heroes are shown across the bottom of the screen and are used by dragging the icons to the field to where the skill is to be used. These skills require energy, which is shared among the entire party and shown at the bottom right of the screen. Energy continually recharges over the course of the fight.

Some heroes are designated frontline, while others are backline. Frontline heroes are more likely to rely on melee or close-range weapon, while backline heroes use ranged weaponry.

As heroes are leveled, they'll gain access to passive skills that further improve their capabilities in these fights. Elite and legendary heroes can unlock two passive skills, while common and uncommon heroes only have one passive skill available.

Adventure gameplay is mostly encountered in the early game before reclaiming the Shelter, and later in the campaign mode.

## Heroes in battle

Battle is the real-time strategy gameplay in *Doomsday: Last Survivors* that mostly happens on the region map. Heroes can be placed in command of Squads.

### Skills

Heroes have a single active skill each as in adventure combat, but unlike in adventure, these are used automatically by the heroes. Heroes can also have three or four passive skills providing benefits to Squads in battle or when gathering. These skills are unlocked by leveling heroes to increase their star count. The skills themselves can be upgraded to higher levels using the relics for the given hero. For elite and legendary heroes, fully leveling all skills will awaken the hero, which may either unlock a fourth passive skills or enhance one of the other skills.

### Talents

Each hero also has access to three talent trees which provide benefits to the squads the heroes command. These talent trees are not unique to the hero, instead being chosen from three pools of talent trees. Talent points are used to learn talents from these trees. The available trees are:

* Leader
* Overall
* Ranged Squad
* Rider Squad
* Gather
* General
* Siege
* Zombie Hunter
* Defense
* Field Battle
* Skills
* Support
