Hero Development ​

Heroes grow through Levels, Stars, Equipment, Active abilities, Passive abilities, and Team Passives. This page explains the shared development paths.

Battle Pass ​

The Battle Pass is another way to earn resources and rewards that can help with Hero development.

Complete daily tasks to increase your Battle Pass level and unlock rewards. Free rewards are available to everyone, while Premium and Premium+ provide additional rewards and bonuses.

For full details about Fragments and Battle Pass bonuses, see Resources.

Abilities ​

Each Hero has three Active and three Passive Abilities. A Trait cannot be levelled up, while Bonus Passives include a Global Passive and a Team Passive. See the Abilities guide for the full explanation and slot layout.

Upgrade priorities ​

  1. Keep the main Campaign team near its current Level cap.
  2. Save upgrade resources for the next Star breakpoint.
  3. Upgrade the abilities that define each Hero's role instead of spreading shards evenly.
  4. Upgrade the Equipment used by your main team before investing in items they do not currently need.
  5. Consider each Hero's Team Passive when choosing which reserve Heroes to develop.

See Overview for the roster and ability descriptions, and Resources for every upgrade currency and selector.
