Heroes

**Heroes** are the creatures players use to battle in the game. Heroes are used to fight in Scenarios, Dungeons, Arena, and more.

## Attributes

   All heroes possess a specific attribute, which Heroes can be one of three attributes: Water, Fire, or Earth. Each of these attributes all have strengths and weaknesses relative to each other.

Fire is strong against Earth.

Earth is strong against Water.

Water is strong against Fire.

## Classes

Heroes fall into one of five classes:

* Tank - Front-line damage absorption units. Place at the top front position.
* Melee - Front-line damage dealers
* Ranger - Back-line physical damage dealers
* Magic - Back-line magic damage dealers
* Support - Back-line healers, buffers, cleansers

## Grades

Grades are an indication of how powerful the hero is. Heroes are graded from 1★ to 5★, and their grade can be improved through Evolution, up to a max of 6★.

## Skills

*Main article: Skills*
Each hero can acquire up to 5 skills. One skill is unlocked at each grade, i.e. a 1★ Hero will start with one skill, while a 5★ Hero starts with 5 skills. Evolving a hero to a higher grade will unlock the next available skill.

There are three types of skills available to a hero:

* **Active** skills must be activated either manually or through the Auto Battle feature in order to be used.
* **Auto** skills will be automatically used when available to the Hero (when the skills are off Cooldown).
* **Passive** skills are always enabled for the Hero and do not need to be activated. They typically boost the Hero's stats or skills.

A Hero's first skill is an **Active** skill, the second and third skills are **Auto** skills, and the fourth and fifth skills are **Passive** skills.

Some skills also apply Status Effects, which can be either beneficial effects to boost the team's efficiency, or harmful effects that hurt the enemy.

## Hero Upgrade

*Main article: Upgrade*
Heroes can gain experience (EXP) by using other Heroes as material at the Upgrade Menu. You can select any Hero in your possession to be used as a material Hero. Your Heroes will gain 1.5 times more EXP when the material Hero has the same Attribute (Earth, Fire, Water) as the base Hero.

## Hero Evolution

*Main article: Evolution*
Evolution will unlock a Hero's Skill each time a Hero is Evolved from 1★ to 5★. When the Hero is evolved to the highest grade (6★) the basic stats of the Hero are boosted.

## Awakening

*Main article: Awakening*
By using the same Hero for Upgrade or Evolution material, there is a certain chance of Awakening the hero. Even if you fail to Awaken the Hero, you will gain Awakening EXP. Once it reaches 100%, the Hero will automatically Awaken.

There is a fixed chance of awakening based on the grade of the Hero. The higher the grade, the more likely the chance to awaken:

 ★★★
 ★★★★
 ★★★★★

Should the awakening fail, half of the percentage is added to the Awakening Bar. When the bar reaches 100%, the Hero is guaranteed to awaken.

When using the same Hero as Upgrade or Evolution material, it is most efficient to raise the material to 5★, then use the material to upgrade the Hero to 6★. This will both evolve and awaken your Hero at the same time, and you will have 100% chance of awakening your Hero.

A Hero can be awoken 5 times, and each awakening unlocks an Awakened Skill. The Hero's star color indicates the number of Awakened Skills that have been unlocked:

 Green
 Blue
 Purple
 Orange
 Red

### Incarnations

There are currently three Incarnations:

The Evolution Incarnation can be used as Evolution material.

The Awakening Incarnation can be used as Awakening material. Using an Awakening Incarnation will result in 100% awakening on Natural 3★ Heroes, 40% awakening on Natural 4★ Heroes, and 20% awakening on Natural 5★ Heroes.

The Primal Incarnation can be used to reset the Awakening of a Hero. This can be used to change an awakening ability that was selected earlier.
