If you count bugrushing or classic rushing, level 1 for all bosses. 😛 If you don’t count it, then probably ~level 10 for Andy solo. ~23 for norm …
Multiplayer heroes must grow in power if they wish to start/join a game in the harder difficulties: For Nightmare difficulty, players must be level 20 or above. For Hell difficulty, players are required to be level 30 or above.
