Upgrade FAQ
What should I upgrade first in Hero Incremental?
Credit tab: Damage, then Credit Multiplier and Fire Rate. Redeploy tab: Redeploy Multiplier and Credit Surge, then Quartermaster. Cargo Bay: Supply Drop and Armory Uplink, then Priority Shipping.
How do upgrade costs scale?
Most trees are exponential: cost = base × growth^level. The Bounty shop, Skill Rating and some Redeploy nodes are linear: cost = base + growth × level. Credit upgrade prices also scale with your rank's multiplier and Combat Pay.
Can upgrades be automated?
Yes, and automation is earned: Quartermaster (Redeploy tab) buys Credit upgrades, Redeploy Quartermaster and Auto-Redeploy (Cargo Bay) handle Redeploys, Auto-Capture (SR) fills capture points, Engineers auto-upgrades turrets, and Lab Steward (Honor Hall) queues research.
Which upgrades keep through rank up?
Standing Orders (Cargo Bay) keeps Quartermaster and Head Start at level 1, then Credit Surge at level 2 and Redeploy Multiplier at level 3. Every permanent tree (Cargo Bay, Bounty, Command, SR, Mobility, Honor Hall, Tempest Forge) always stays.
