Next Up Hero

Submit your pro-tips!

Heroes!

We're looking for the best pro-tips to use in-game.

Help us drop little bits of knowledge to Next Up Hero players by submitting your best tips, hints, tricks, and otherwise in this thread

Example of a good pro-tip: Getting stuck on a level? Summon ancients! - roncli

If you have a funny/troll tip thats OK too, but the majority of these should be to help players get a better feel for Next Up Hero. We want you all to be able to roll insane ventures!

Exciting things are in the works. If you ask nicely, maybe we'll leak some info in discord.gg/NextUpHero

Next Up Hero adds a new Hero and revamps Co-op!

Welcome to Early Access week 5 Heroes! We've got some big surprises this week!

Co-op Revamped!


We’ve heard your thoughts on Echo-op, and we’ve revamped the system! This system is new, and we wanted to push it out to the community as soon as possible, so there will be bugs. Please let us know of any issues via the NUH Discord Channel or in this thread

Meet Jett



For completing the Champion Trial, you’ve been awarded a new Hero, Jett! He dashes, he teleports, he has elemental buffs! Congratulations to our great community of Heroes for banding together and proving yourselves true Champions!

But that’s not all, there’s a new ancient, tuning, bug fixes, and much more! Read the full patch notes here.

Early Access Week 2!

Heroes,

We’ve made it to Week 2 of Early Access! Last week we challenged you to post a boatload of screenshots (and we’ve seen some epic ones on the Hub). Here’s one of my favorites: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1266025361
Additionally, we asked you to provide feedback on Spectator Mode, and you did! We’re taking all of your thoughts to heart and working through some ideas. More information on that soon!


This week we’d like to hear your thoughts on the different play-styles in Next Up Hero. Do you have a favorite build? Do you prefer to get up close and personal? Or do you prefer to kite enemies on the outskirts of the level? Are you a hybrid player? We want to know!
