For more Gems Info: Gem Guide

## **Ultimate Embattle**

Physicians are a versatile hero, that can be put on the front or back line, if you they're to go on the front line, you should give them a destiny treasure which mainly increases HP or defence, to help increase their survival on the frontline. By their eighth upgrade, they should be strong enough to tank sufficently for their team. Wan'er, Prince Jing or Fucha are the best hero to be put on the front line with them, with any two of the following AOEs: Renjie, Li Bai, Song Yu, Shangxiang, Zhuge Liang, Ying Zheng, Xuanji, Dongpo, Lord Yi, with one back support or crowd controller: Zifu, Pan An, Wu Zetian, DIaochan, Daji or Taiping, the two AOES and one back support/crowd controller, should of course be put on the backline. It is highly reccommended that you include one healer on your team.
Lost World

*Leaving this secular world is hard given my personal affairs; still, I made up my mind to disengage from this mundane world.*

Lost World is the first costume in the Costume Quest.

## Story

**Female:** Lost World is the last dress that Wan'er wore before she died. She wore a plain dress when she was convicted by Emperor Wu Zetian. Unexpectedly, she thrust a sword into her chest to prove her loyalty, dying the dress red as she died. After her death, the emperor was in remorse and found a reclusive craftsman to make the Lost World dress in 49 days. The dress was hung in the bedroom to remind the emperor that he should not wrong the loyal. The design paper was passed across generations.

**Male:** The male character was born on a thunderous, rainy day, and a Taoist priest predicted that he would have trouble at the age of ten. His parents didn't believe the priest until he came down with smallpox at the age of ten. They went to a temple to find the priest, but instead found a half-blind fortune teller that told them to find The Quicksand Robe.
The Blood Angels

The new face of the Faceless. They work closely with the House of the Loyal Hound, to the point that some members of the House are members of the Blood Angels.

When bestowed with their face-changing powers, they are given new names to reflect this.
Normal Token

An item used to summon common heroes from recruit. See Hero Recruit for more information about summoning heroes.

More powerful than a red hero? An introduction to Wencheng

The Royal Chaos Operations Team has sent the Epic **hero Wencheng** to everyone who attended **the 100th NA Server Event** on Facebook. For Wencheng is really powerful and rare in the game, we should talk about how to use her in this guide.

## **Skill Information**

**[Active] Solitary Desert** Lv.1: Princess Wencheng plays the flute, increasing all allies' HP by 15.5% of her current HP, plus 82 bonus HP.

**[Passive] Flying Geese** Lv.1: Princess Wencheng has a 50% chance to restore 12% of her Maximum HP for every basic attack. (Unlock at Upgrade+4)

It is clear to see that Wencheng's active skill is the same as **Wan'er**, which restores all allies' HP by the HP percentage of the casting hero. The higher Wencheng's HP is, the more powerful Wencheng's restoring ability is. The passive skill is also powerful and strong: Wencheng can heal herself probably every 2 rounds, which means her surviving ability can compete with those tanks.

It is recommended to raise Wencheng's HP attribute instead of other attributes, because you can get the highest return by increasing HP.

## **Equipment**

The best choice on equipment of Wencheng will be the Serenity & Royal Sets with the set effect. We've talked about the guide on equipment: Be the Ruler in the Palace: Might Up Your Equipment.

If it is hard for you to collect the **Serenity or Royal gear sets**, you don't need worry. You can just equip Wencheng with high-quality or high-Might hood, robe, shoes, pendant and necklace, but remember, high HP attribute first.

## **Treasure**

The Destiny Treasure of Wencheng is **Fan**.

The Treasure's basic attributes should be Health or Evasion, and the Destiny Attribute should be Attack.

Choose Treasures with Epic quality and above to equip her.

## **Gem**

HP Gems and DEF Gems are highly recommended. HP attribute can not only increase Wencheng's surviving chance, but also raise her healing ability. For more Gem guide, please take a look at here: Gem Guide.

## **Embattle**

As is said, Wencheng's surviving ability can compete with those tanks. So you can place Wencheng at the front-line as a Tank with healing ability. With one more free position, you can put an AOE or Control hero here. This is the reason why Wencheng is more powerful than some Red heroes.

Today's introduction to Wencheng ends here. For more information please visit Facebook and official website.
Swordsmanship

*Glory and fame belong to my king; better go home as the cuckoos sing.*

Swordsmanship is the fourteenth and final set in the Costume Quest.

## Story

As the main character wears this outfit, the Emperor or Princess (depending on gender) mistake them for an assassin. They explain that the outfit made by all of the people who met Ranger Yan Yi, a man who helped the old emperor before going to the mountains to lead a peaceful life. The Emperor/Princess says that they can feel Yan Yi's chivalrous heart in the outfit.
Crowstead

Crowstead is a major metropolitan area, cut off from the rest of the world by a magical barrier established 2001 (AT). During it's height the city was well known for it's industrious blending of scientific and magical technologies, being a well liked academic hub between all factions involved in the Planar Wars. Thankfully, it survived destruction due to small coterie of powerful wizard predicting the outcome of the Counter-Stroke, and subsequently erecting a magical barrier to protect it. Since then, the city has had something of a long, slow, Renaissance.

In the current year, 865 AM. Crowstead's population has flourished under the wise leadership of a number of kings, each selected from one of the High Nobility. The "royal" appellate having to do with the mage's council that ruled the city during the 5th age, or Age of Magic. In addition to the royal; houses, there are dozens of lesser houses, burghers, and merchants who hold a great deal of political capital through marriages, wealth, guild capitalization, or trade Consortium.

Broadly, Crowstead is split between four different segments much like an onion.

1. The center of the Onion is Royal Palace of Crowstead
2. Radiating out from the palace is the Old City: How to Nobles of all powers, and many wealthy guild owners and merchants.
3. Surrounding the Old City, is the new city, which has generally been built up over the last 600 years or so.
4. The farmlands, radiate out from the city several miles, with many private farms, confederated share croppers, and other trading consortium.

Recently a small selection of Harbor islands has been tasked with serving as a base of operations for a new magic training academy with partnerships with the mages of Gardenia.

The current rulers of Crowstead Corvus Nocturne III, who has served in this position since his coronation at the age of 20. He is currently 61.

Recently, the king asked for development of a parliament, wherein representatives are drawn from each district of which there are 9, there are also seats representing guilds, religious groups, and more recently the farmer's union.
Gardinia

Gardinia is a small rural village located on the eastern end of the Great Northern Forest. It is famed for it's collection of herb gardens which claim some of the rarest varieties of plants to be found in the valley. It's midwives, herbalists, and doctors are well regarded throughout the valley.

It is well known now, that the actual leadership of Gardinia are eight mages, each of whom have earned their status by mastering one 1/8 of Arch mage Gillian Reijolt's "Master's tome". These are the some of the last remaining notes of how to create magic for the new organizational structures of the world, and the eight disciplines, Master Reijnolt argued would make up the new foundation of magical construction. So far, he's been correct. The disciplines are as follows.

1. Anima: The magic of the body, mind, and life
2. Fire: The magic of the flame and heat
3. Plants The magic of binding commanding magic, and working with wood
4. Metal: The magic of commanding and binding metal and the elements therein
5. Air: the magic of controlling the air and weather
6. Water:the control of that which is the basis for all life
7. Death: The control of that happens in the spirit world and when life slides into death
8. Earth: That from which we are all from and returned to.

Masters are called after their number, and otherwise keep their identities fairly secretive. Even their families do not divulge which master is which.

Currently the wizards are setting up a school in Gardenia, and are looked at as heroes for closing the bore drill by the Orcs, and saving the valley from invasion.
Abbadon

Abbadon was Azazel's brother. He saw Azazel as taking all that was "his," and fell to spite in that vein.

It came to a head when Azazel married Seir, a woman for whom Abbadon had fostered feelings for decades. Abbadon's jealousy drove him to murder. He sent Azazel and Seir a gift - a book of Dark Elf songs. He set a ward around the house, essentially setting the Etharch's "cameras" on loop, and left, hoping that Azazel would read them and either die or turn.

Seir died instead, but her death no longer translated to grief for Abbadon, but to a twisted joy born of spite. He had hurt Azazel in the deepest way he could have, and that was enough. He fled, cackling, as Azazel's heart hardened to spite as well.

He wanders the fringes between Elven territory and the wasteland, too angry to stay, too tied up in his spite to leave.
Arbor and Huntington

Arbor Berry and Huntington Imhoff were bodyguards to Petey DePeplesham. They were paid handsomely to lay down their lives for any DePeplesham interest necessary, including massive potential payouts to their families in the event of their deaths. They were killed by No One during an attempt at reconnaissance.
Pastilla Valitova

Pastilla Valitova is the main political and economic rival of Petey DePeplesham in Northgate. She is running on a platform of more direct action to address problems, whereas DePeplesham runs on a platform of wheeling-and-dealing to entrench the best interests of Northgate. The Valitova and DePeplesham families have been engaged in a friendly rivalry for generations, and each's political and financial ties are generally expected to make more of a difference in election results than actual platform issues.

Valitova's ideological base, as much as one exists, largely consists of those who exist on the more radical end of the political spectrum; while both candidates are firmly establishment per se, the less moneyed individuals in Northgate have expressed a desire for immediate relief and policy reform as opposed to the more slowly-moving status quo enforced by guild owners and other members of Northgate's upper crust. Valitova's moneyed, credible past, coupled with her more revolutionary approach, has attracted the interest of a number of outside donors and patricians to match DePeplesham's. Most political specialists agree that based on available information the coming election will be a toss-up.
Marejada

La ***marejada*** es una inundación costera asociada con un sistema atmosférico de baja presión. La marejada es principalmente producto de los vientos en altura que empujan la superficie oceánica. El viento hace que el agua se eleve por encima del nivel del mar normal. La baja presión en el centro del sistema atmosférico también tiene un pequeño efecto secundario, ya que puede alterar la batimetría de la masa de agua. El efecto combinado de la baja presión y el viento persistente sobre una masa de agua poco profunda es la causa más común de los problemas de la marejada ciclónica.

## Mecánica de la marejada

Al menos cinco procesos participan en la alteración de la marea durante una tormenta: los efectos de presión, el efecto directo del viento, el efecto de la rotación terrestre, el efecto de las olas y el efecto de la lluvia. En el océano abierto, la presión en un ciclón tropical provoca el aumento del nivel del agua en las regiones de baja presión y su disminución en las regiones de alta presión. La tensión del viento provoca un fenómeno cuyo efecto es que los niveles del mar en la costa tiendan a aumentar al disminuir éste, y viceversa. Este efecto es inversamente proporcional a la profundidad. En costa abierta, llegará a las bahías de la misma forma que sucedería si fuese una marejada astronómica.
Wintersweet II

Wintersweet II is the name of a female outfit in the collection, Winter Melody.

North Gate

North Gate is a neighborhood in the city of Crowstead. it has representatives from every major cultural group, and is particularly well known for the massive North Gate market

, an open square almost a half a mile wide where vendors come from all over the valley to sell their wares. Almost every major guild and trade consortium has representatives in North Gate. The city popularly elected Amadeus von Skald as their represenative to House of the Chosen.

Quotes from the Locals

*"That market is a den of thieves, it's crowded, noisy, and constantly buzzing. I get a headache just going thru there. That's why I send my valet now, I wouldn't set forth in there for a royal invitation to the palace."*

-Renee Devallier, Minor lord of house Devallier. 757 AM

"*I found a bar on the edge of the bizaar where a Gophurian lady wearing only her socks tells jokes to peacock puppet controlled by two Oromo engineers. Now I know where they got the name bizaar.*

-Tomand Mitter, gossip, 858 AM

"*If you asked me to give a prediction on a crime, I'd just assume it's north gate, the black market is every bit as big as the obvious one here."*

- Alan O'michii, fruit sergeant, 855 AM

Greymist

Grey Mist is city-state located in south west corner of the valley along the Midnight sea

## Greymist at a glace.

Greymist has long been a prospoerous and peaceful neighbor to their closest ally, Crowstead.  The city was official incporated in 201 AM when a series of stone quarrying and miner companies want to incorporate themselves as seperate to Crowstead's crown for tax reasons.  This was led by a tough, and smart union leader by the name of Anton Morel, who quickly and

shredwly negotiated for the city's incorporation, and was subsequently established at the first key.  Part of the incorporation of the city was based on favorable trade relationships with Crowstead, and a requirement that the two cities always act as military friends and comrades.  That tradition has made them perhaps the tightest allies in the emergin L.A.W.N . (League of Allied Wasteland Nations).

Economically Greymist exports timber, stone, clay, iron, and fish.  The import food, finished metal goods, and many of the modern conviences of Crowstead.  There is frequent political conflict between the Treeborn of the western wood, and the timber lobby over conservation.

## Grey Mist, Current events:

860  October: Ameli Morel returns to the throne after her family's betrayl over 20 years ago.

861 April: A giant white dragon called Icefang occupied Greymist, killing hundreds of it's citizens and trying to enclose the city in gigantic ice walls.  With the help of the Knights of Dantalion Amelia Morel was able to slay the dragon and save her pople from further destruction

861 October: Greymist joins L.A.W.N. as acccept L.A.W.N.'s declaration of species' rights.
Shi Qiuci

In Royal Chaos, she turns to be a Common Hero, as well as a Seal Manager.

## Positioning: Back Support

Shi Qiuci's primary stats are Support and Control.

As a Common Hero, she lacks a passive skill and is thus not recommended in any build, especially due to the ease in gaining Rare and later Epic Heros

It is highly unlikely you will ever be forced to use Shi Qiuci, but switch her out as fast as possible.

### Active Skill: Snow Wind

She holds her fan and turns around, dealing 115% DMG of her attack, plus 44 bonus DMG to the front enemy, and reduces incoming DMG of front allies by 20% for 1 round

### Treasure

Shi Qiuci' s Destiny Treasure is Hook.

As a Back Support, Shi Qiuci can help the front row take a beating, but it's better to just use Rare Heroes for the extra passive skill they bring.

## Ideal Embattle Layout

There is no Ideal Embattle Layout as there are much better characters when starting the game.
Zhao Feiyan

## Skills

**Active Skill**: Heals herself and all allies by 61% of the attack

**Passive skill**: Increases crit by 15%

## Gem

Resilience, HP and Defense are the best gems for Feiyan, to increase her surviability, so she can continually heal and support the team.

A destiny treasure that mainly increases HP is a good choice

Purple quality treasures are the best treasure to equip her with due to their higher might.

## In Real Life

Zhao Feiyan is popularly compared to Yang Guifei, one of the four ancient beauties of China, with Zhao's slender frame being compared to Yang's fuller figure.
The Crater

The Crater is neighborhood in Crowstead. It is in the New City between West Gate and North Gate. It is the center of the Oromo's clan guilds, and fabrication bulwarks.

Quotes from locals

*"Warehouses, smoke stacks, waste ponds. The place is hell on Earth, I don't care how many plows they turn out, or what strange contraptions they create"*

- Al Tosoru North Gate, 858 AM

"*From the sky, the Oromo were blessed with abudance, the clan spirits remembered us and sent us a rock of such wonderful metals, that from it we can remake the world."*

- Neil Oyende, Oroome Fabricator general, 657 AM

*"What most people don't know is that Oromo throw great parties. Crazy large gathering with dancing, strange instrument, singing. All members of the clan turn out from the smallest babe to the most aged crone. It's a blast!"*

-Tomas Albrechten, West Gate, 850 AM
Mahari

The Mahari are a cultural group that exists in the city of Crowstead. They dominate the neighborhood of Templetown in the New City. Their culture centers around their religion, and like all of the cultural groups of Crowstead they have little consistency in terms of phenotype.

### **Social Organization**

The Mahari do not practice nuclear families in the way that other cultures, nor do they practice even a clan system like the Oromo. Their society are organized by city blocks, with a temple at every block presided over by a "Zor" or "Learned Reader". These Zors are leaders in the community, but they have no definitive power, and are looked at as sage's and counselors. Men and women are free to pair or otherwise sexually engage with each other as they wish. There are no rules on coupling among pairs, or groups, nor is there a pressure to produce more children. Children are named by their mother but are raised by the community, referring to adults as mother or grandmother, or father, or grand father as the supposed age denotes. Being called a grandfather or grandmother is a sign of respect, as age is heavily associated with wisdom. Children are given free reign to move about, but the expectation is any Mahari adults will supervise the children as a parent would. Traditional families do occur, and they are neither shamed nor encouraged. There is an "Oath swearing" that is practiced by Mahari called a, "Qassami". It is similar to marriage, but can easily be undone through a, "Monravassimi" or dissolution. Zors are expected to constrained, and model good behavior whenever possible, and or those cultural traits disseminate through the culture more broadly.

### **Religion**

The Mahari believe in a single unifying god, that they call Ahari Mazdah. Ahari Mazdah is a dual-natured god, and according to the Mahari his nature is tied to the health, happiness, and positive utility of humanity. If humans are flourishing and making the world better, than Ahari Mazdah is a god of joy, love, happiness, and light. If the humanity engages in war, slavery, plagues, etc. Than Ahari Mazdah is the great destroyer. Most Mahari believe the magical apocalypse was a consequence of the darkness of Ahari Mazdah. All Mahari are taught to wonder about how their actions affect the community, and thereby their god. This is not to say that Mahari are pacifists, but they try to maximize the utility of all parties involved whenever possible. That being said, family/church community are very tight, and to wrong one Mahari is to wrong them all.

Mahari believe in a place of light and love called Ill-Yannah, and a place of darkness and fire called Gehenna. They believe that when a person dies, their works are measured by Ahari Mazdah and he treats them with kindness or cruelty for what they've done.
Gophurians

They're a cosmopolitan and optimistic people, tending to be the poor downtrodden of the Old City. They're dress most closely resembles seventeenth century Europeans, and they are often times street performers, artists, and dilettantes. Their home district is that of Eastgate.
Weston DePeplesham

King Corvus Nocturne III

King Corvus Nocturne II is the current ruler of Crowstead. His house have been the rulers of the city for three generations, with his son Prince Corax Nocturne likely following his rule. King Corvus is seen as an open, honest king, but a shrewd and canny political operative. With recent sectarian conflicts amongst the Oromo and Inixians and the Mahari and Gophurians, the king has decided to create a parliament so that all citizens of Crowstead can fell more involved in the policies of the city.

More recently Corvus married a young gifted woman from the city of Gardinia, Mleani Highgarden. They are currently expecting their first child.
The Faceless

The Faceless are a shadowy organization that influences much of the politics of the city. Their priority is not to control the city, but to ensure the safety and stability of the city and its people. They are less concerned with who is in power than with who in power will serve the people best. They act as Crowstead's protectors.

Its members possess the ability to take the faces of those they have killed. To do so, they must keep on hand a memento of their victim. A finger bone, a lock of hair, a scrap of flesh or jar of ash, things of that nature. When the Faceless are initiated, a ritual is performed that allows them to use these items to change their appearance to that of the victim. These faces are sent to the guild and are lent out as needed for jobs, but are returned once their purpose has been served.

They have a guild hall somewhere in the labyrinth of the old city, but its members are not required to live there. Most of them do not, in fact, preferring the freedom and anonymity of a solitary life. There's a network of couriers that ferries things between the guild and its members, as well as member to member. They are tongueless waifs, unnoticed in almost any context, able to slip away at a moment's notice through a system of tunnels throughout the city.

Most of the Faceless are information gatherers or those assigned to influence the politics of the city, but there is a substantial assassin presence as well. A small few are elves, though no one knows who they are or their numbers.

If guild rules are broken, the guild will exact vengeance.

The Faceless have come to an agreement with the King. The lives of the governmental candidates will not be taken by the hand of a Faceless Man, but this did not come without a price.
Xavier Cantelo

Xavier at work in his lab

Baron Xavier is a member of the Crowstead High Nobility (one of the six Great Houses), and scion of House Cantelo. The Baron is 34 years old, married twice with three children, currently single, suffering his mid-mid-life crisis, and infamously still living the lifestyle of a young bachelor. He often goes out "incognito" and dangerously mingles with commoners in the New City, much to the chagrin of his guardsmen. He seemingly does not take his duties as a Baron very seriously, yet his House remains prosperous and he has produced multiple heirs.

House Cantelo has long been noted for being enthusiasts of the Technomagical arts, showing their inherited Gift from the ancient mages in the immaculate condition of the ancient technology they maintain and use.

## Arkæwerx

Xavier has spent his life pursuing his passions and proven himself a rare capitalist among the Crowstead Nobility. Not impressed by how conservative the Oromo clans are in their reclamation of technology, he is making an attempt to challenge them in the New City markets. He has invested a large amount of his family's old wealth into redeveloping technologies and has built a new factory in Eastgate he has christened Arkæwerx. While Xavier has made several attempts at recruiting Oromo workers into his factory, the Clans as a whole view him suspiciously, and find his unorthodox and impatient methods to be very dangerous.

Fed up with the traditional Oromo archaeological "monopoly" (and many other things about the Oromo), Xavier is making an attempt to wrestle control of The Crater away from their hands. He has specifically targeted the Williams clan as vulnerable. He thinks they have become distracted from managing their businesses and spread financially thin by their efforts to gain a parliamentary seat in the King's election.

While many businessmen in the New City view the rise of Amadeus von Skald as very troubling, Xavier sees it as an opportunity to "reshape" the marketplace.
Quayle and Rockwell

Rockwell MacArthur was being blackmailed by parties unknown, but was killed by a Darkmantle in the Dim.

Quayle Harwich was killed by doppelgänger-Boris in the Dim.

He has a reputation as the man who conned the conmen of Northgate's Rotten Age and brought more "honest" business to the district, but his alleged continuing financial dirt is still an open secret.
Oromo

The Oromo people are an ethnic group native to the city of Crowstead. They have their own language, that to a person from our world would sound like a mix of Bantu and Mongolian. They favor heavy working garbs for clothing, and their clothes and hair are frequently braided with medal sigils representing the clan to which they belong. Their personal family groupings are small, and there is a great deal of cultural pressure on heterosexual families, though women are held in equal regard to men as work goes. Fathers are equally encouraged to spend time with young children, and keep close the familiar bond. Clan families often helps fill that role when important projects are close to deadline. Poltically they value the cultural traditions of elders, but in industry favor the ingenious and charismatic.

Religiously, the Oromo follow the official clan elder to the degree that they are a god. The are officially twelve clans to the Oromor, each over time has mastered a certain tradecraft. In their own language the clan is named after their trade. Members of the clan usually have names organized by matrilineal family lines.

Shangxiang

Shangxiang is a Super Red/Fabled heroine of the Scholar class and an AOE heroine in Royal Chaos.

## Positioning

Shangxiang as an AOE is best placed on the backline of your hero formation, so she can provide damage to the opposing team as long as possible. She is called the 'back row killer', because she targets back row heroes on the opposing team, who usually have lower Resilience, Health and Defence.

## Skills

**Level 1 (Active)- Arrow Gale:** Shangxiang deals 167%+246 damage to a random enemy on the backrow, splashing 30% damage to other enemies

**Level 1 (Passive) - Eagle Sight:** Tag the enemy at basic attacks or ability attacks. Decrease healing effect by 17% for the enemy with the tag. Deal extra damage of tag layer 6.3% attack to the enemy with the tag. The tag disappears when no more layer is stacked in three rounds. Max three layers can be stacked up. (Unlock at Upgrade +4)

## Equipment

### Gems

As an AOE, you should prioritize engraving Shangxiang's equipment with Attack, Crit and Agi gems.

### Armour

The best equipment for Shangxiang is the Bliss or Merak set, which will increase her agility and allow her to attack earlier, triggering buffs and rebuffs for a better fight.

### Refine

For refine, make sure to add some Attack, Agi and Crit attributes.

### Treasure

Shangxiang's destiny treasure is Pendant, it increases Attack and Agility attributes, as well as Crit when destiny activated. All these attributes help to improve Shangxiang's performance.

### Soul Stone

Shangxiang fits best in No.3 or No.5 of Array. The soul stones Foggy Crystal and Glorious Ice, fit her best.

## Ultimate Embattle

As previously mentioned Shangxiang is best placed on the backline with two other AOE heroes or one AOE hero and one Crowd Control hero on the backline to accompany her.

You can put your character on the frontline (Scholar, Physicians and Musicians can go to the frontline on their eighth upgrade and further) with Fucha or Wan'er to heal your team.

Scholar, Musicians and Physicians however are also great on the backline too, with Pan An and Fucha or Wa'ner on the frontline.

### Best Combinations:

Buffers: Shangxiang and Pan An

Executioner: Shangxiang and Li Bai or Xuanji

Poisons and Power Banks: Shangxiang and Fucha and Dongo

## How to Obtain

Shangxiang is a hero difficult to obtain and upgrade, as a hero, she may take a while to obtain, her shards can be obtained in hero summoning (when she is there), special events and from super fabled hero shard chests, sometimes Shangxiang shards are sold in the mall, which provide a random amount of shards. Sometimes her shards can be obtained as part of a package of other goodies in the flash pack event. Her shards can also be won in pet instance (once she is in your embattle/hero formation). She is considered a pay to play hero.

## Trivia

It takes 180 Shangxiang shards to synthesize Shangxiang.
