Dice upgrade

You can upgrade your Dice in two ways: leveling up or evolving.

## Leveling up

Leveling up dice increases the POWER of the dice, contributing to the teams ability to give, deflect and sustain damage. You can level up Dice by Gold, Diamond or you can use Shards after the die is 5-stars (see below).

POWER is a factor of the dice's level and star count. The higher the POWER the mightier your dice.

The combined POWER values of your active dice team is compared to the level difficulty and it determines three of the most important aspects to complete a level:

1. Your "Critical Hit Chance”,
2. How much damage each Shield you roll is able to block, and
3. How much damage you can take from enemies before you die.

A higher “Critical Hit Chance” means that there is a higher probability to get an extra attack with any sword rolled. The percentage is displayed left of the health bar. The exact amount of damage blocked by each rolled Shield is shown to the right of the health bar. Enemies get tougher in later levels, so keep leveling up your dice!

Patrols also have a POWER requirement. You can only start a patrol if the assigned dice meet the requirement.

## Evolving

Evolving dice grants the dice a star (evo step), up to a total of five. Each evo step improves the skill of the dice, either by making the skill more powerful, quicker to charge, or gives it an initial charge. Additionally, each evo step grants the dice a substantial bonus to POWER:

Your dice only evolve using Shards that you collect from various ways (patrols, Titan's fight, Market, etc.). The number of shards needed depends of the number of stars of your dice.

## Leveling up using Coins and Shards

When a die is lower than 5 stars, the only way to upgrade it is by paying coins to make it reach a higher level. When a die reach 5 stars, you can upgrade it by either paying coins or paying shards according to the table below. The number of coins needed and the number of shards needed go together: if you upgrade a die with one currency, the cost of the other currency will automatically adjust to the level reached.

* **HOW LEVEL UP YOUR DICE**

The big question about dice upgrade is will you upgrade a die with coins or with shards? We need to do a little maths to answer that question.

In the game, diamonds can get you coins (by the shop) or let you do a hunt. So, we can compare coins to shards, the two currencies that interest us for now.

Coins: The best offer you can have is by spending 600 diamonds for 35,000 coins. So 50 diamonds are worth 2,916.67 coins.

Shards: You get 84.84 shards (assuming that you hunt only the weekend, see Tips & Strategies) for a hunt that costs 50 diamonds.

The same 50 diamonds are 2,916.67 coins or 84.84 shards. So, spending 1 shard is like spending 34.38 coins. We now have to find at what level using 1 shard costs MORE than 34.38 coins. We will use the table above.

**In conclusion, when a die is at level 1 to 24, you should use coins. When a die is at level 25 or more, you should use shards.**

But what do I do with the coins I get through levels if all of my dice are at level 25 or more? You should spend it to level up the die with the LOWEST level.
