Experience is a measurement of hero's capability. Accumulating experience causes hero to go up a level, which is usually phrased as "level up" or gaining a level. Gaining a level may have several consequences. It always increases one of hero's primary skills by one. Hero classes 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 skills. Additionally, many of the hero specialties are affected by level up.

Typical ways for hero to gain experience is through combat or from treasure chests. From winning a combat the hero receives one experience point for each health of the enemy creatures he managed to vanquish in the battle (summon elementals and war machines do not count). Resurrected creatures are only counted once, except demons raised by pit lords. If an enemy hero is defeated, the hero receives extra 500 experience points. A hero will not receive this bonus if the enemy hero escapes or surrenders. Additionally, pandora's boxes, events and quests can give experience.
