Heroic Mode is a gameplay mode where normal dungeons (excluding Ruben) can be played with a significantly harder difficulty for players over level 80.
Heroic Mode Mechanics
Entrance Requirements
In order to enter dungeons in Heroic Mode, your characters must be level 80 and possess an Item Level of 140. In KR, the required Item Level is 130 for Normal mode and 150 for Hell Mode. In addition, your character must also possess a Heroic Invitation, which can be found by killing enemies in dungeons, Secret Dungeons, or Henir's Time and Space. Entering a dungeon will automatically consume 1 Heroic Invitation.
Restrictions
While playing a dungeon in Heroic Mode, EXP will not be obtained from any defeated enemies. Stamina will also not drop when playing on this mode. These dungeons will also not be affected by drop rate events and Random Missions will not appear in this mode.
Players will not be able to access Mounts when playing in this mode. If a player enters this dungeon mode while mounted, they will be automatically dismounted.
When playing a dungeon in Heroic Mode, the amount of Resurrection Stones that each player can use will be limited to 3. When all three Resurrection Stones are used, additional resurrections can be performed by spending K-Ching.
Heroes Assemble Buff
Similar to regular dungeons, players will receive the Heroes Assemble buff when entering dungeons on Heroic Mode through the queue system, which will increase stats in proportion with the number of players in the party. Unlike the normal buff, the Heroes Assemble buff will be weaker in Heroic Mode dungeons.
Buff | 1 Player | 2 Players | 3 Players | 4 Players |
---|---|---|---|---|
Physical/Magical Attack | +90% | +60% | +30% | 0% |
Physical/Magical Defense | +15% | +10% | +5% | 0% |
HP | +15% | +10% | +5% | 0% |
Heroic Mode Monsters
In Heroic Mode, all monsters and bosses will be stronger than their normal dungeon counterparts. They will have increased offensive and defensive stats and will attack with increased speed.
Absolute Monsters
In Heroic Mode, there will be additional monsters known as Absolute Monsters, which are stronger than normal Heroic monsters. These monsters will possess an attack-type buff from the elixirs that can be made from the Darkness Souls found in Gates of Darkness. These buffs can be transferred to the player if the Absolute Monster is defeated. When the buff is transferred, it will last for 30 seconds. Absolute Monsters will also possess the ability to teleport to the player if they move too far from them.

Equipment Drops
When defeating bosses in Heroic mode, they will have a low chance of dropping a piece of Heroic - Savior's Equipment. The piece that can be obtained from the boss is dependent on which dungeon of the region is being played.

Trivia
- The events that occur during Heroic Mode are a result of what happened at the end of Lanox's story. After the Demon God Sult was revived by Scar, before the El Lady sealed him away, he was able to plague the land with darkness causing the monsters of all the regions to becoming significantly more powerful.
