Objective:
Choose one Heavenly Hero and defend The Gates of Heaven from the relentless demonic invasion. Survive the waves of enemies, grow stronger, and prevent Hell’s forces from breaking through!
How to Win:
Every 4th, 8th, 13th, 18th, and 23rd wave, a new Hell Gate will open, unleashing even greater destruction—be prepared!
Defeat all enemies before the "New Wave" timer starts in order to trigger a Random Event that will reward you with extra resources.
Venture into the jungle to find two spawning areas (Wolves & Boars) where you can farm Gold & XP between waves.
Hunt down the mini-boss (Kong), who drops powerful items based on his level.
Secrets Await:
There are many hidden events and secrets that can only be discovered through specific actions. Some require gold or items while others demand exploration.
Once you unlock a secret, you can check the list of Secrets to see how to activate it in future playthroughs. Keep your eyes open—Heaven holds many mysteries!
Items : Relics - Humble yet powerful, relics can be bought directly within the safety of Heaven’s embrace. They may be upgraded up to Level 5 . Relics refund their full cost when returned, allowing you to adapt and survive. Artifacts - Crafted by the celestial artisans, Artifacts are treasures of immense might. Purchased from Heaven’s sanctum, their power is absolute, but their choice is eternal—once forged, they cannot be undone. Legendary Items - As the darkness deepens and the battles rage fiercer, heroes must seek the ancient Cracks of Doom to forge Legendary Items. These relics of myth bear untold power. Secret Items - Shrouded in mystery, these hidden treasures can only be unlocked by fulfilling secret conditions and untold item formulas. Track these secrets carefully across your journeys—for each hidden artifact holds immense power, enough to stand against the endless legions and safeguard the Gates of Heaven.
Heroes :
Choose your destiny from among the Angels of the Seven Heavens or the ancient Deities who rose in defiance to protect the Gates of Heaven . Join the sacred cause and take your place among the legendary defenders of the celestial realms.
Each Heavenly Hero offers boundless potential, capable of mastering different paths based on how you shape their abilities. The choice is yours, and there is no correct path.
Moreover, each Heavenly Hero carries a secret quest hidden deep within their soul. Only by uncovering and completing this personal journey will you awaken their true power, revealing abilities that can turn the tide of battle and mark your hero as a legend among the stars !!!
Emblems of the Heavenly Army
Thanks to @Uncle and @Gnuoy , your victories now have lasting impact!
By completing the challenge and winning the map, you’ll earn an Emblem of the Heavenly Army for your next playthrough, based on the difficulty you cleared.
Beat the impossible... and show off your rank with pride!

If you find that your model is being used in this map and your name isn't listed, please feel free to reach out to me! I'd be happy to add your credit.
Special Thanks : GooseMan & Rofldofl for their countless hours of testing, feedback, and unwavering support !!
Without them, this map would probably still crash at Wave 1 :

Please add a hint, I spent two minutes choosing a hero after starting, and that's when the enemy came and I couldn't choose anymore. New players don't know this.
A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by Gates of Heaven v1.a
You can also upload your map here to generate a list: Asset scanner
A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
I actually tried using the Asset Scanner, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me.
That said, I’ve manually gone through and updated the credit list in my map description to include all the resources currently in use—models, icons, spells, and other custom assets. Let me know if anything’s missing, I’ll be happy to fix it.
