Before you go:
This is necessary for the later stages to be completed because your hero is most of the times needed to complete the level - the stronger he is the better.

Things to make sure before grinding:
  • grab a hero with your aquired gems from the first few levels, does not matter which one (first one is cheapes)










  • make sure your attack damage is at least 4 because the enemies Hp is 8 and 2 hits is the least amount of hits the hero can do before mobs get throught (just play 2 random stages and put all your points into attack damage) --> attack damage stat is shown on Heroes Tab (sword icon).


  • beat Stage 1 on medium difficulty so you can access it on hard .










  • your upgrade progression does not matter in this method.
Let the Grind begin!
The amount of experience your hero gets is created by how many enemies he killed and on what difficulty the level is set (according to my experiments)

This in mind Stage 1 on hard is the most time and click efficent map to grind on.

  • Position your Hero as shown on the screenshot and place 2 Corpuscle Towers (cannons) at the end of the track. This is required because some times one "Cold" on wave 5 decides to slide around the track and without manual movement is not reachable anymore. The cannons take care of him










  • Put the speedmultiplier on x4 and start the level

It takes about 60seconds and 9 clicks for the level to be completed and rewards you with some EXP and between 40 - 80 gems. Those can be used to gather boni in the shop or new heroes.

Press the "repeat" button to start over again (your exp and gems will be saved and addet to your bank but you wont get the tablets again after the first clear)
Achievement
For the hero lvl 50 achievement it takes about 4hours straight grinding if you really want it as quickly as possible - tho i do not recommend using it right at the start of game - rather try to do the stages normaly without a hyper strong hero.

I hope my very first guide was helpful and if you have other methodes just tell me!
Other than that have fun grinding and:
DEFEND YOUR LIFE!

I believe I found an even faster way to farm the hero. Just put it on easy at the kidney level. Place the hero right at the entrance of the enemies before the fork, next to him put 4 barricades of fighters on maximun to hold ground so your hero have more enemies to hit, because even one single hit helps do up your level. And in the other end put a total of 11 tesla on high level along with a damage vitamin in the center. Put it at 4x speed, you can level up 1 level every two rounds on this map, which eliminates the waiting time with loading etc. The level can be completed with 1 minute and a half, it is very useful to level up the hero when he is already with a relatively high level 15 or more.
