Current Season
Hero Siege Season 9 — Season 9 — Incarnation Changes & Best Builds
Season started 2026-04-03. Explore recommended builds, key changes, and beginner-friendly starting points.
Hero Siege runs on a seasonal model where each season introduces new mechanics, classes, balance changes, and a fresh start for all players. Season 9, titled Incarnation, launched on April 3, 2026, and brings major system overhauls including the Incarnation Tree (1600+ passive nodes) and Ether Tree (400+ mechanic nodes).
Seasonal play is recommended for the best experience. Everyone starts fresh, so you compete on an even playing field. Your non-seasonal characters are never deleted — they remain available when the season ends and seasonal characters convert to non-seasonal. If you're new to Hero Siege, starting seasonal means learning the current meta from day one rather than catching up on outdated content.
Season 10 is planned for July 14, 2026 and will introduce major skill tree changes — each class will receive 2 talent trees instead of the current single sub-skill tree. We'll update all build guides when S10 launches.
