Reincarnation

A hero can be reincarnated upon reaching lv51. Reincarnation increases a hero's Force level. A reincarnated hero compared to a normal hero would be stronger if both were the same level.
Reincarnation resets a hero's level back to level 1. There is no cost to reincarnate.
There is no limit to reincarnating, but each reincarnation will require a higher level then the previous (for each individual hero). The amount of force level a reincarnation increases is dependent on the TC. Reincarnating a hero at level 51, while the TC is level 52, will only increase the force level by 1. Reincarnating a level 51 hero while having a level 60 TC will increase the force level by 6-9. Although there is no limit hero level requirement to reincarnate may increase to a level higher than the game's current max hero level (180).
As such, it is best to reincarnate a hero once your TC level is atleast 9 or so above the hero's level.
All equipment on a hero will STAY on a hero once reincarnated. REMOVING the equipment of a reincarnated hero who's equipment level is higher than the hero's current level, will NOT allow you to re-equip it. Str. Dex. and Int. bonuses will also remain when reincarnated.
