# Stands

In Legend of Arcadia, the concept of heroes' levels does not exist. Instead, the level of a hero is represented by the level of their stand (inspired by the display stands used for toy figures). This means that any hero placed on a stand will be assigned the level of that stand. The XP that players gain from gameplay is used to level up the stand.

Each player has five stands in the game. As their stands level up, the combat effectiveness of the heroes also increases, enabling them to challenge more powerful players in the Arena and progress towards more difficult chapters in the Adventure and Labyrinth modes.

Notably, players no longer need to focus on growing one or more of their heroes, as in traditional games. Instead, the emphasis is on leveling up the five stands, providing players with greater freedom and space for strategic thinking in the game.
