Hero Wars July Map: Quick Emerald Route Overview
Before going tower by tower, here are the key emerald-focused routes at a glance. The July map splits its emeralds across two separate towers, so smart sequencing is what keeps your move budget tight while you chase the full haul.
10,000 Emeralds — Tower 4 (Light Green Path)
Tower 4 delivers 10,000 emeralds plus 3 Chest of Patterns for just 17 explorer moves standalone — one of the most efficient emerald pickups on the map. If you have already claimed the Orange Path, Tower 4 chains down to only 10 additional moves, making it a natural follow-up to the artifact tower beside it.
20,000 Emeralds — Tower 4 + Tower 6
Tower 6 (Light Blue Path) adds another 10,000 emeralds to the haul. Combine it with Tower 4 and you reach the full 20,000 emerald sweep for the month. Sequence carefully — clearing the green path first drops Tower 6 to just 12 additional moves, so the two emerald towers pair together far more cheaply than their standalone costs suggest.

Here is a full breakdown of every tower on the Hero Wars July Map, including move costs, rewards, and the routing tips that save you the most explorer moves.
1. Tower 1 — Black Path
Main Rewards:
600 Titan Artifact Spheres- 18 Season Chests
Tower 1 on the Black Path costs 19 explorer moves as a standalone and rewards a hefty 600 Titan Artifact Spheres — one of the best titan-focused hauls on the July map. Beyond the raw reward, this tower has a strong chaining advantage worth planning around. If you take the Yellow Path first, Tower 1 drops all the way down to just 14 moves, saving you five steps and making the Black and Yellow pairing one of the sharpest opening combos on the island.
2. Tower 2 — Yellow Path
Main Rewards:
- 800 Wish Insignias
- 2 Chest of Patterns
- 15 Season Chests
2 Chest of PatternsTower 2 sits on the Yellow Path at a lean 16 explorer moves and delivers 800 Wish Insignias alongside 2 Chest of Patterns — a strong wish-stat package for any player refining heroes this month. Routing order matters here in two ways. Taking the Black Path first adds 11 moves onto Tower 2, so reach for Yellow before Black where you can. Furthermore, if you plan to clear both the Dark Green Path and the Yellow Path, pairing them lets you shave 1 move off your overall total.
3. Tower 3 — Orange Path
Main Rewards:
- 200 Absolute Artifact Chests
- 16 Season Chests
Tower 3 on the Orange Path rewards 200 Absolute Artifact Chests for 17 explorer moves — a premium artifact haul and a key routing partner for the emerald run. Because the Orange and Light Green paths sit beside each other, the two chain efficiently in either direction. Specifically, if you take the Light Green Path first, Tower 3 then costs an extra 10 moves from that node, so artifact-hungry players can fold it neatly into their emerald route.
4. Tower 4 — Light Green Path
Main Rewards:
- 10,000 Emeralds
- 3 Chest of Patterns
- 16 Season Chests
Tower 4 on the Light Green Path is the first of the two emerald towers, paying out 10,000 Emeralds and 3 Chest of Patterns for 17 explorer moves. That is excellent value for any player building toward the full 20,000 emerald haul this month. Conveniently, the Orange and Light Green paths chain both ways, so taking the Orange Path first reduces Tower 4 to just 10 additional moves — a tidy saving when you are sweeping the left side of the July map.
5. Tower 5 — Dark Green Path
Main Rewards:
- 1,500 Skin Stone Chests
- 3 Chest of Patterns
- 15 Season Chests
Tower 5 on the Dark Green Path costs 16 explorer moves solo and hands you 1,500 Skin Stone Chests plus 3 Chest of Patterns — a top pick for players actively upgrading hero skins. This tower carries the most flexible chaining on the map. Should you already hold the Orange Path, the cost drops to 14 moves, and if you have cleared the Light Blue Path beforehand, Tower 5 becomes reachable for only 9 extra moves from that point.
6. Tower 6 — Light Blue Path
Main Rewards:
- 10,000 Emeralds
- 6 Chest of Patterns
- 18 Season Chests
Tower 6 on the Light Blue Path is the second emerald tower, delivering 10,000 Emeralds and a generous 6 Chest of Patterns for 19 explorer moves standalone. Together with Tower 4, it completes the full 20,000 emerald sweep that defines this month’s island. Crucially, if you have already taken the green path, Tower 6 becomes reachable for an extra 12 moves — so chaining it onto your emerald run is far cheaper than tackling it cold.
7. Tower 7 — Navy Blue Path
Main Rewards:
- 500 Golden Threads
- 1 War Flag Chest
- 9 Season Chests
Tower 7 on the Navy Blue Path is the single cheapest tower on the entire July map at just 10 explorer moves. For that tiny investment you collect 500 Golden Threads plus a War Flag Chest, making it one of the most efficient grabs on the island. Moreover, it pairs neatly with the White Path: if you take the White Path first, Tower 7 saves you 2 moves, so the Navy Blue and White towers are best cleared as a quick two-stop combo.
8. Tower 8 — White Path
Main Rewards:
- 100 Primal Catalysts
- 15 Season Chests
Tower 8 on the White Path rewards 100 Primal Catalysts for 16 explorer moves — a consistently valuable resource for titan and hero development. This tower also acts as the anchor for the cheap right-side combo. Taking the Navy Blue Path first trims Tower 8 down by 2 moves, while clearing White ahead of the Navy Blue and Red towers feeds savings into both of them, so its position in your route matters more than the standalone cost implies.
9. Tower 9 — Red Path
Main Rewards:
- 1,500 Wish Crystals
- 2 Chest of Patterns
- 20 Season Chests
Tower 9 on the Red Path is the most expensive tower on the July map at 21 explorer moves, but the 1,500 Wish Crystals and 2 Chest of Patterns make it a premium wish-stat target. Routing softens that cost considerably. Take the White Path first and Tower 9 drops to just 17 moves — a 4-move saving that turns the priciest tower on the island into a much more reasonable pickup.
