Heroes

The **heroes** menu is located in the bar at the bottom of the screen, in between the Dark Forest and campaign menus. From here, one can access four tabs: Formations, Popularity, Heroes, and Portraits.

## Heroes

In the Heroes section all the heroes the player owns are shown. Heroes are characters the player can use in order to progress and participate in events, the arena, and all other activities revolving around the game. Heroes can be leveled up and equipped with gear and artifacts; with additional options to strengthen the aforementioned and the hero's signature item. Heroes possess skills unique to themselves which allows for a good synergy among other heroes.

All heroes belong to a faction, and are further distinguished with a Class, Type, and Role of their own. However, heroes below Mythic ascension lack a class altogether and instead possess two roles: a primary and a secondary.

The portraits of the heroes have frames of different colors based on their rarity:

 **Violet** | Elite
 **Yellow** | Legendary
 **Red** | Mythic
 **Silver** | Ascended

Moreover if at the corners of the box there are two inserts, it means that the hero will be a plus (for example elite plus, legendary plus). Common heroes cannot be ascended, they will always remain common even though they can level up to level 100. All Elite or higher heroes can be ascended through the building called the Temple of Ascension, the level of ascension determines the maximum level that can reach a hero.

If there is a red exclamation mark on the portrait of a hero it means that the player has better equipment that can be assigned to that hero. At the bottom of the page there is a bar with which heroes can be sorted to be viewable by faction, type, and class.

Clicking on a hero leads to their personal page where the rarity and the story of the hero is shown above the gear worn. Popularity is also shown, wherein players can view the most commonly used artifacts for that hero, how popular the hero is in specific game modes, and what formations they are most commonly used in.

Lower down in a box shows the type, class, role, level, life, attack and defense of the hero; clicking on the diamond with the exclamation point grants access to a tab that shows all the attributes in addition to those already shown: Crit Rating, Accuracy, Dodge, Haste , Recovery, Magic Resist, Physical Resist, Life Leech, Crit Damage Amplification, Crit Damage Resistance, Insight, Tenacity, Health Regeneration, Received Healing, Attack Speed, Crit Block Rate, Physical Pierce, and Magic Pierce.

At the bottom of the page players can access the hero's skills, whereupon clicking, the hero's skills are shown instead of their equipment. By clicking on the individual skills players can read a description and the level necessary to unlock further upgrades. The bottom of the page also features Eternal Engravings where players can illuminate glyphs in order to raise hero attributes and strengthen hero abilities, the Hero Furniture Abilities, and the applicable skins of the hero, if any.

## Portraits

The portraits page shows all the heroes in the game divided according to the maximum degree of ascension they can reach and sorted by faction. By clicking on a portrait, players can see an overview of the hero, similar to the setup found when accessing a hero from the hero tab. However, the portrait page features the option to view detailed information about the signature item and exclusive furniture of each hero.

Additionally, at the bottom of the screen, there is the Arena of Heroes button with which players can try out the hero in a mock battle against an undefeatable enemy used to hone one's fighting skills.

## Formations

In the formations section, players can create a pre-set team of 5 heroes to easily access and place into battle while progressing in areas throughout the game. Up to 10 formations can be created at a time.

Players can also automatically copy and save formations they see on the popular formations board by tapping and holding down.

## Popularity

The popularity tab grants insight on the most popular heroes, formations, signature items, and furniture; based on a range of differing players' choices from within the campaign, at different stages.

The 'Hot Heroes' board displays heroes with high popularity rankings that are shown to be used more frequently than other heroes for a particular type of battle (such as specific campaign stages, specific towers in King's Tower, different modes in the Arena of Heroes, and different bosses in The Twisted Realm). The board can be sorted by Hero Classes, Hero Types, and Factions.

The 'Popular Formations' board displays the formations that are most frequently used in different game modes.

The 'Popular Sig. items' board denotes that the higher a hero's ranking is, the more players have chosen to enhance the Signature Items belonging to these particular Mythic tier heroes over other heroes. The list can be sorted by Hero Classes, Hero Types, and Factions; and it only displays data for +30 enhanced signature items.

The 'Popular Furniture' board is sorted based on heroes with a higher popular ranking being shown to have been given more Mythic Exclusive Furniture than other heroes. The list can be sorted by Hero Classes, Hero Types, and Factions; and it only displays data for 9/9 Exclusive Furniture sets.

The 'Engraving Popularity' board is sorted so that heroes with a higher ranking are displayed because players are more frequently investing resources into boosting their engravings levels.
