The advantages of minting a Hero NFT are as follows:

* **Play**: Access to Orcas organizations in games (strategic clans/guilds built in a way to maximize the gains) is granted to the owners of at least one Hero NFT.
* **Earn**: Owners of the Hero NFTs will split a fraction of [Hero Vault](/orcas.gg-guilds-and-games/orcas.gg/the-treasury.md) profits (\~10.00 APR)
* **Staking Rewards**: those who own Casual NFTs will generate a passive income of 0.8 ORCA/day as a token, see [Token Utility](/orcas.gg-guilds-and-games/orcas-token/token-utility.md). NFT owners will earn ORCA tokens if they keep their NFTs staked. 37M ORCA tokens will be distributed as staking rewards for 10 years.
* **Token Airdrop**: Minters using EGLD for mint will receive 1,000 ORCA for each Hero NFT.
* **Community**: Access to dedicated Discord channels (exclusive content and opportunities) based on the NFT Tier

\== Costs to upgrade a Hero NFT to a superior tier ==

|                    Hero                    |     EGLD    |  -  |       ORCA      |
| :----------------------------------------: | :---------: | :-: | :-------------: |
|  <mark style="color:orange;">Legend</mark> | 15 and Hero |  or | 15,000 and Hero |
| <mark style="color:purple;">Dominus</mark> | 40 and Hero |  or | 40,000 and Hero |
|    <mark style="color:red;">Apex</mark>    | 90 and Hero |  or | 90,000 and Hero |

Using EGLD to upgrade will make you eligible for the Token Airdrop. The process will be covered manually initially and later via a self-service portal.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://orcas-gg.gitbook.io/orcas.gg-guilds-and-games/orcas-nfts/hero-tier.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
