Hero Shards
Hero shard requirements and collection information. No account needed.
Hero Shards are what you spend to star-level a hero. Every star gained raises that hero's base stats, unlocks their next skill, and adds to your account power — some heroes also unlock character story panels at specific star breakpoints.
Maxing out a hero from ★1 through ★5 costs 1,065 shards. Counting the 10 shards most heroes cost to unlock, the full total from zero to ★5 is 1,075. Amadeus (20 to unlock) and Chenko (40 to unlock) cost more: 1,085 and 1,105 in total.
Hero Shards needed to advance a hero through ★1–★5, broken into the six upgrade tiers within each star. Reaching max star costs 1,065 shards; including the shards most heroes cost to unlock, the full total is 1,075.

Where do Hero Shards come from?
Most heroes share a general shard tied to their rarity (Rare, Epic, or Mythic), earned from daily missions, events, the VIP shop, and other regular in-game sources. Amadeus and Helga are the exceptions: they only take their own hero shards, so general Mythic Shards can't be spent on them — plan their farming route around their own shard sources.
