Hero Facet

Hero Facet is a feature that functions as a "challenge mode" to players. Hero Facet is accessible through the Dimensional Portal, requiring a one-time unlocking cost of 3 Dimension Orbs. Players are required to finish the Hero Facet run with a specific hero listed in the Hero Facet interface. Any previous party made before choosing the Facet will be discarded. Within the Hero Facet run, any recruitment building is disabled and players are unable to train the hero.

By completing a Hero Facet run, an upgraded version of the chosen Hero type will be made available. The upgraded version of heroes have 50% higher base stats compared to the original variant, and they are available to recruit at the same recruitment building as the original.

Two new heroes can be unlocked by completing 50 and 75 Hero Facets, respectively.

Heroes listed within the Hero Facet interface fall under certain number of groups. Each unlocked Facet group will also grant new passive benefits, called **Perks**.

## **Mechanics**

Hero Facet (alongside Weekly Challenge) now sends players to a new game mode, separated from their main game progress, dubbed as **Omniversal**.Omniversal mode essentially functions like staring a New Game with most of the main game progress do not carry over. The only things carry over between both modes are: **Gems, unlocked Wizard Power Spells and Levels, unlocked Hero Facet perks, Omiversal stat bonus, and Omniversal items** obtained in Weekly Challenge. In the Omniversal mode, all Time Mana-based statues are also available from the start at Level 0.

Players can return to the main game mode by clicking the Dimensional Portal at the bottom of the Statue, and choosing **"Return to Your Universe"** option, suspending their current facet run in the process. They can return back to the omniversal mode by choosing **"Return to Alternate Universe"** option, assuming they have unlocked access to the Dimensional Portal in the main game. However, choosing Time Warp, a new Hero facet, or Weekly Challenge will remove the currently suspended facet progress.

Players who had completed Hero Facet runs prior to v0.11 build can still gain access to the unlocked perks and upgraded heroes, but they have to repeat the runs if they wish to unlock the Omniversal stat bonus and newly added facet bonus.

With the new mechanics, Hero Facet is now independent from players' Dimension progression. Players are able to advance Dimensions further without any concern of the subsequent Hero Facet runs getting harder and longer to complete.

## **List of Hero Facet Perks**

Hero Facet Perks consist of various quality-of-life changes, upgrades to certain mechanics, and supports toward specific type of heroes.

## **List of Hero Facet Rewards**

Completing each Hero Facet run will grant players with benefits listed below:

* Upgraded version of heroes.
* +10% Omniversal bonus to all stats that apply to all game modes. Players can check the total of Omniversal bonus earned in the **Stats/Achievement** menu.
* Additional **Facet Only Bonus** listed under the hero's icon.
* A small amount of Time Mana available from the start for the subsequent Hero Facet runs (25 x total Hero Facet completed).

The upgraded version of heroes have 50% higher base stats compared to the original variant, and they are available to recruit at the same recruitment building as the original. They reuse the same sprite, but with a different color palette. The upgraded heroes retain the same skillset as the original with some exception.

## **List of Upgraded Skills**

Some of the upgraded heroes have different skillset compared to the original variants. They are not accessible as skillgems (because skillgems menu only consist of the original heroes' skills), so players must use the upgraded heroes if they want to utilize these skills.

## **Tablet of Containment**

*See also: List of Miscellaneous Items*

Tablet of Containment reduces area levels needed to complete an area. Each area can be reduced by the amount of tablets possessed by players in their inventory, until they reach 10 area levels. Like any other tablet, Tablet of Containment can be upgraded in the Alchemy at the maximum of **Tier 6**.

Completing 50 Hero Facet runs will unlock the Tablet of Containment pool to drop in the main game mode.
