how to rank up heroes fast?

[Rukashu]

all my heroes are at lvl 2-6. i am trying to rank them up for when my friends are online to play together, so...

i am doing the first chapter and leaving after the first boss only, but is taking too much time just to get 130 exp each 15 minutes or so.

The fastest way is to play with your best one at the highest difficulty because you get more experience.

The way my sister and I are leveling is by setting a single green modifier that makes the nightmare not automatically awaken. Then we use the 50% healing modifier, the 1 less trait per level modifier, the enemies heal each other modifier, and the no feather modifier. We keep it on the easiest difficulty.

What we found is this makes it so you can clear the entire map. So things are difficult at first, but with no time restrictions you can get everything to power up your characters. By time you get to the second chapter things should be really easy. By time you get to the third chapter you should be killing everything extremely fast.

Experience at the end gets calculated by how many things you found, quests you did, experience you gained, etc. and while the game may last a couple of hours, we're seeing huge experience gains. Yesterday after a match we went from level 5 to 7.

It might not be quicker but it is fun at the end just killing everything super easy.
