# Barons & Baronesses

Barons & Baronesses are the second highest tier of standard Heroes (outside of Emperors, Empresses, Kings, and Queens) within the game, and are the fourth strongest type of Hero within the game.

While they lack special access to some of the rarest land types in the game, they do have second priority over [tiles](https://paper.bastionlords.com/nfts/tiles "mention") during initial mints.
