Hero Release Event Basics
Event Timing
Hero Release Events run for 14 days and focus on unlocking a newly released Hero.
Event Goal
The primary objective is to earn Event Shards to unlock the featured Hero.
- Additional shards can be used to further promote the Hero after unlocking them.
- Progress carries significant value even if you do not fully complete the event.
How Progress Works
Event Shards are earned by completing event Missions and continuing your normal daily gameplay.
Activities that contribute to progress include:
- Campaign battles
- Arena battles
- Guild Raid attacks
- Event-specific Missions
Most players will earn the majority of their shards simply by playing the game consistently throughout the event.
What to Expect
Unlocking the featured Hero is very achievable with daily participation, even for newer players.
Reaching higher promotion levels requires a stronger roster, careful preparation, and efficient completion of event Missions.
Players pursuing Legendary promotions should expect to plan ahead, optimize mission completion, and potentially invest additional resources.
