Gold

Gold is the middle tier of heroes. Most heroes in the game are gold.

Almost all gold heroes can be obtained in one chest or another that costs Power Gems, but there are also other sources.

## Campaign

As of 14 March 2019, 9 gold heroes can be obtained through the Campaign (by order of first appearance in the Campaign):

* Unbreakable Cyborg
* Grid
* Emerald Green Lantern
* Atlantean Armor Aquaman
* Multiverse Batwoman
* Blademaster Robin
* Telekinetic Gorilla Grodd
* Enraged Bane
* Primal Swamp Thing

Most of them can also be found elsewhere, such as in chests or raid rewards.

Grid is the only Campaign hero that can also be obtained through Challenges.

## Leagues

There are a number of gold heroes that can be obtained from Leagues (both from purchasing with League Credits, or received directly as a reward for raid completion, although the latter is rare and usually other hero shards are awarded):

* King of Atlantis Aquaman
* Red Hood
* Atrocitus
* John Stewart Green Lantern
* Power Girl
* The Reverse Flash

## Chests and raid rewards

These heroes' shards can be obtained from chests, as well as raid completion rewards.

These heroes' shards can only be obtained from special chests or offers.

* BvS Superman
* Suicide Squad Harley Quinn (only in special offers bought with real money)

## Arena season reward

## Challenge

Challenges are rotating events, similar to Arena seasons, that allow you to beat three tiers of battles for increasing amounts of shards, and a chance in gear. While not as powerful as Arena heroes, they take much less effort to obtain, and gaining their shards is also much more energy efficient compared to Campaign heroes, although Challenges are random while Campaign is permanent. They can also be found in various chests.

* Speedforce The Flash
* Warrior Queen Wonder Woman
* Soulstealer Doctor Fate
* Last Laugh The Joker
* Sub-Zero
* Powered Supergirl
