'''Experience''' is a measurement of [[hero]]'s capability. Initially, every hired hero starts with a random number of experience  in the range of 40 to 90 points. Experience is gained as heroes explore and battle. When they have enough experience points, they go up a level, which is commonly phrased as "level up" gaining a level. Gaining a level may have several effects. It always increases one of hero's [[primary skill]]s by one. [[Hero class]]es have different probabilities of which primary skill is increased, but general rule is that might heroes tend to get more attack and defense while magic heroes get more power and knowledge. Typically when a hero gains a level, he is offered a choice of one of two [[secondary skill]]s. Additionally, many of the [[Hero specialty|hero specialties]] are affected by level up.
Only available in the campaigns and in standard scenarios if the map-maker has enabled him.


Typical ways for hero to gain experience is through [[combat]] or from [[treasure chest]]s. From winning a combat the hero receives one experience point for each [[health]] of the enemy creatures he managed to vanquish in the battle (clones, [[war machine]]s and bonus health from atifacts do not count). Resurrected creatures are only counted once, except [[Demon and horned demon|demons]] raised by [[Pit fiend and lord|pit lords]]. If an enemy hero is defeated or an enemy town is captured during a siege, the hero receives extra 500 experience points. A hero will not receive this bonus if the enemy hero escapes or surrenders. If a hero escapes or surrenders, then he does not gain any experience, even if he managed to kill someone. A hero from whom the enemy escaped receives experience for the killed enemy creatures, but does not gain experience for the defeated hero.  Additionally, [[Pandora's Box]]es, [[event]]s and [[Seer's Hut|quests]] can give experience.
Not to be confused with {{H2|Drakon|Beastmaster}}.


Heroes with [[Learning]] gain extra experience.
== Tactics and info ==
Dracon's special ability is formidable. Even so powerful that he is typically disabled in custom made maps. While you should have no reasonable difficulty using Dracon as a main hero during the single player campaign, he could also be used as an [[enchanter]]-upgrading-support-hero sitting in a town garrison or following your main hero.


'''Bug:''' after reaching level 75 a hero gets level 88 at once (13 more level-ups consecutively). From now on the level-up mechanics shows highly unstable work, including the possibility of falling into an infinte loop of level-ups.
== Campaigns ==
He is featured in the [[Dragon Slayer]] campaign from {{ab}}, taking appearance in all four scenarios as the main hero.


== {{hota}} ==
== Trivia ==
In {{hota}} the overflow of experience was fixed. Maximum possible hero level is 74.
In the [[Dragon Slayer]] campaign, he managed to slay all kinds of dragons, from [[Faerie Dragon|Faerie Dragons]] to [[Azure Dragon|Azure Dragons]], accomplishing only what veteran [[Dragon|Dragon Slayers]] could.

According to Jennifer Bullard's development documents, Dracon is the one who finally slayed [[Mutare Drake|Mutare the Dragon Queen]] in one-on-one combat. He didn't survive the battle, but still freed the [[dragons]] from [[Mutare|Mutare's]] influence and was also gonna be remembered as the greatest [[Dragons|Dragon Slayer]] of all time.
