How do you get heroes in guild wars factions?

Answer 1

Sadly enough.. you've got to donate to get heroes..

Improved AnswerAn account with the Factions campaign can only acquire heroes by beating the main storyline and playing through the Winds of Change, a Guild Wars Beyond content unlocked only once the main storyline is beaten. Otherwise, heroes can be acquired by linking and playing through the Nightfallcampaign and/or the Eye of the North expansion, or by purchasing a Mercenary Hero slot from the NCSoft store with the account.

Of the 3 Guild Wars campaigns (Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall) and the expansion (Eye of the North), only Nightfall and Eye of the Northhave heroes which can be recruited playing through the main storyline.

Factions has two heroes available to recruit, but are only available from playing through Winds of Change, a Guild Wars Beyond content unlocked only after completing the main storyline.

Prophecies technically has only one hero available, but requires Eye of the North be linked to the account as well.

However, an account with any campaign linked to it can purchase a Mercenary Hero slot from the NCSoft store. It can be accessed from the Character Selection screen, in the top-right corner.
