Reaching Level 100 in Hero Siege Season 10 is where the real progression begins. Your character reaches the normal level cap, but Hero Levels and the Incarnation system give you plenty of room to keep getting stronger.
The important thing is not to jump straight into the most demanding farming setup. A fresh Level 100 character should first build a stable transition route, then move into Colossal Chest farming once the required Ether Points are available.
Step 1: Start With Chaos Towers
When you first reach Level 100, you only have 9 Ether Points, which limits what you can unlock in the Ether Tree. Because of this, the Colossal Chest setup is normally not immediately available. Current Season 10 XP guides recommend Chaos Towers as the early transition method.
Chaos Towers can spawn groups with the Bloating affix. Killing these enemies produces purple experience orbs, making the tower useful for your first Hero Levels.
The goal at this stage is simple: gain Hero Levels, collect more resources, and earn additional Ether Points.
Step 2: Don’t Waste Valuable Chaos Keys
Chaos Towers have different rarities, and not every tower is worth using a key on.
For early progression, avoid wasting your better Chaos Keys on low-value runs. Current S10 guidance specifically recommends saving Mythic-level keys because Satanic and Angelic Chaos Towers provide a better use for those resources.
You should also avoid turning every tower run into a full-map clear.
Enter the tower, complete the useful content, collect the rewards, and move on.
Step 3: Build Your Character Before Pushing Harder
Fresh Level 100 characters often still have leveling equipment.
That is normal.
Your first upgrades should focus on the biggest weaknesses in your build. If enemies take too long to kill, improve your main damage source. If you are dying constantly, prioritize Life, resistances, defensive stats, or mobility.
Do not chase perfect endgame gear immediately.
A character that clears content consistently is much more valuable than one with impressive theoretical damage that dies every few minutes.
Efficient Chaos Tower farming can also help generate Hero Siege Gold through equipment and other valuable drops.
Step 4: Earn More Ether Points
Your next major objective is the Ready to Pop node.
Ready to Pop is part of the Overworld Ether Tree and is the foundation of the Colossal Chest farming strategy. It requires 17 Ether Points, meaning a newly capped character needs additional Ether progression before reaching it.
Complete the available Ether-related quests as you progress through Hell.
One current community route notes that a Hell keyed-dungeon quest can provide additional Ether Points, making it a practical way to reach the required threshold sooner.
Step 5: Switch to Ready to Pop
Once you have enough Ether Points, reset your Ether Tree if necessary and build toward Ready to Pop.
This node improves the Colossal Chest mechanic by enabling the high-value Bloating monster spawns that make the event so useful for Hero Level experience.
After unlocking it, your next priority should be the Discovery Range nodes.
There is little value in having a powerful XP event if you spend most of your farming session searching for it.
Step 6: Start Colossal Chest Farming
The new loop is extremely simple:
Enter the map → find the Colossal Chest → trigger the event → kill Bloating enemies → collect XP orbs → reset → repeat.
Do not clear the entire zone.
Your objective is Hero XP per minute, not completion percentage.
Current S10 guides recommend several maps, including King’s Garden, Pyramid Level 1, Misty Swamp, and Steam Train. King’s Garden is a safer starting option, while Misty Swamp is currently one of the most efficient choices once your character can handle it comfortably.
Steam Train is also worth testing, especially if your movement speed lets you reach its chest quickly.
Step 7: Optimize Your Equipment
Your endgame farming build does not need to be perfect before starting this strategy.
Prioritize:
- High single-target and area damage
- Movement speed or mobility
- Reliable defensive stats
- Build-specific skill bonuses
- Enough survivability to clear Bloating packs consistently
Fast movement becomes particularly valuable because every second spent traveling between the waypoint and chest reduces your XP per hour.
If a specific equipment slot is holding your build back, targeted upgrades are much better than replacing everything at once. If you choose to buy Hero Siege Items for sale, focus on pieces that directly improve your clear speed or survivability.
The Complete Season 10 Route
Your post-100 progression should look like this:
Level 100 → Chaos Towers → Gain Hero Levels → Earn Ether Points → Unlock Ready to Pop → Add Discovery Range → Farm Colossal Chests → Kill Bloating Packs → Reset → Repeat.
Chaos Towers are the bridge, not necessarily the final destination.
Once your Ether Tree and character are strong enough, Colossal Chest farming becomes the centerpiece of your Hero Level progression. The combination of fast chest discovery, high-value Bloating spawns, and rapid map resets gives you a much more efficient way to push beyond Level 100.
The key is knowing when to move from one stage to the next. Don’t force Colossal Chest farming before you have the required Ether investment, but don’t stay in Chaos Towers forever once Ready to Pop is available.
Build your character, unlock the right Ether nodes, find a fast map, and keep the farming loop short. That is the most practical path from a fresh Level 100 character to serious Hero Level progression in Season 10.
