Dismiss: This button, located on the left side of the screen, allows you to dismiss the current hero. Because you have a maximum of eight heroes, you may wish to dismiss a weak, poorly placed hero to replace him with a stronger or better positioned hero. Heroes who are dismissed or defeated go back to the hero pool and can be recruited again. Heroes keep their artifacts (unless defeated by another hero) and experience when they are defeated or dismissed. Be aware that heroes never die­ they go back to the hero pool and can then be recruited by any warlord.
