Riggs is the original World War Rising Hero. Although not as strong as his later counterparts, he still has his uses. In this Hero guide, we will review how to access Riggs’ information, his uses and his costs.
Hiring Riggs
When you are in your base, you can access Riggs’ information by clicking in the upper left corner.
Here is where you can see what level Riggs is, what he’s equipped with, skills (and the points to allocate in his skill tree), current XP level, and his MP level for hitting Syndicates.
Leveling Riggs
In order to gain additional skill points, you’ll need XP in order to level Riggs. There are several ways to get XP in WWR:
- Hitting Syndicates
- Collecting Quests
- Attacking
- Defending
- Packs
A Hero XP doubler is available for Riggs as well.
Riggs Hero Levels
As Riggs grows and increases levels, he will increase in power and you will gain skill points for his skill tree. Riggs requires only XP to level up to 50; after that point, medals are required every 5 levels. Riggs’ current maximum level is 250. Here is what it takes for XP and medals:

Riggs Normal Hero Skills
Riggs has many different Hero Skills in his regular tree. However, the combat skills are eclipsed by the later Heroes (unless you’re in a new Region). His economic boosts are where he really shines, and you will want to take advantage of these when growing and training. Below is a chart showing all of the normal Hero skills for Riggs, the amount of points needed to max the node, and the maximum benefit. Note that not all skills are available at any Hero level. Some skills (and level of skills) require a certain Hero level to progress.

Riggs Mastery Hero Skills
Mastery skills work differently than normal skills. These skills are activated no matter which Hero you are using. Therefore, they are beneficial at all times. Mastery skills require Mastery Skill Points. You can’t use normal points to add to these nodes.
Notable for Riggs Mastery are his deployment capacity increases and overall combat, found at the bottom of the Mastery tree. If your Riggs is high enough, don’t forget to skill these, since they apply to any Hero you have active. You’d be missing some important boosts.
| Node | Max Skill Points | Maximum Boost |
|---|---|---|
| Construction Speed | 20 | 40% |
| Quarry Production | 30 | 120% |
| Mine Shaft Production | 30 | 120% |

While not the strongest Hero in older Regions, Riggs still has uses, especially focused around his Economic and Mastery skills. Don’t write him off completely!

How do you obtain Riggs medals? I’m at level 50, need medals to continue, can not find anything that explains how to obtain them.
They are in packs, and the last Raid Boss Event had them as well
Hit level 4 P51 Mustangs for Riggs medals. Roughly 1 in 4 hits will drop a few.
Hello, I find in other MZ games, hitting a “monster” gives medals occasionally, could be like this in WWR as well. Get a few medals at a time which is great for lower levels like when 5 medals, 10 medals, but 1000’s, well, you get the idea 😊.
Oops, I meant hitting a monster with max stamina, or half bar stamina at max. 🙈
Few minutes ago I just maxed hit the realm boss which is a “blimp” (like the German blimp). I maxed hit at 10,000 stamina, it gave me five attacks and 200 medals.
But with other regular monsters or in WWR, the Cerberus (car) or P1 Mustang (plane) or tanks, likely only give few medals occasionally and not on every hit like it does in Final Fantasy.
😊👋
How do you get more Riggs stamina (for killing syndicates)?
Keep functioning ,remarkable job!
How do I get my Riggs last level 100? It says he’s maxed!
How do I use my Hero Medals to get past level 50????
What’s the total of skill and mastery points are needed to completely max out your riggs still and mastery tree?
Once Riggs is maxed level, why do I still get stamina, XP and medals for him and not for the active hero other than Riggs? Is completely worthless?
Is there additional guide to how many heroic medals are needed for 101+
