Here you will be able to see your hero, your heroes statistics, their abilities and perks. The L key or Level Up button will allow you to level up or evolve your hero, depending on their hero level. The V key (Press in Left-Stick on Xbox/PlayStation) will allow you to see your hero skin in full with no menu. The F key (Press in Right-Stick on Xbox/PlayStation) will Toggle the Hero as a Favorite. The U key (X button on Xbox/Square on PlayStation) will give you your upgrade hero options. There are Level Up, View Evolution and Increase Rarity.

  • Level Up will increase your characters level. There are currently 50 levels within the game for heroes to achieve. Every ten levels, you will have to Evolve your hero to the next set of ten levels. Leveling up your hero requires hero experience. You can get hero experience in a variety of ways. You do not need to play a hero to level them up.
  • View Evolution will show you the requirements for your Heroes next Evolution. Each one increases the amount of materials required to Evolve your hero. The first Evolution involves some Pure Drops of Rain and Training Manuals. The next one involves more of those and Lightning in the Bottles.
  • Increase Rarity will increase the rarity level of your hero. There are five Hero rarity levels currently in the game. Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Mythic rarities. You can evolve most heroes up to Legendary. Each increase in rarity requires 100 Flux materials of that particular rarity. e.g. If you want to upgrade a Rare hero to a Epic version of that hero, you will need 100 Epic Flux to accomplish that.
