Hero Upgrade - SSR (Purple) to UR (Yellow)

Post by PizzzaDaHut »

Starting a few days into Season 1, there will be an option to upgrade heroes from SSR (Purple) to UR (Yellow). This is likely 1 hero a session. The first upgrade possible is Mason. The upgraded hero will need to be at 5 shards to be eligible for upgrade.

What does this mean for the upgraded hero?
  • Change from SSR (purple) to UR (yellow)
  • Stats and abilities will increase in strength. Lower right ability (4th star ability) will also earn a new +10 skill cooldown reduction.
  • Experience level will stay the same.
  • Skill points will reset to zero, and will be fully refunded to you.
  • Star level and honor wall level will be reset to zero. Shards spent on the honor wall will be refunded as SSR (purple) hero specific shards, shards spent on stars will NOT be refunded.
  • To advance the hero's star level going forward, SSR (purple) shards will be used. Either hero specific or general shards will suffice.
  • Wall of Honor advances for upgraded heroes are 10 shards???
Tips:
  • Almost 2000 purple shards are required to get the hero back to 5 stars after upgrade. Try to hold off on the upgrade until you are close to that mark having enough shards to get back to 5 starts.
  • Only use purple shard on the hero that you will be upgrading!
How can this upgrade be leveraged to get a lot of points in VS?
  • Put ALL SSR (purple) shards, and hero specific shards, into development the hero prior to their upgrade. Do this only on hero day!
  • Put all refunded purple shards back into the upgraded hero. Do this on hero day!
  • Put ALL skill points into the hero you will be upgrading, prior to upgrading the hero. Upgrade the hero, then allocate the refunded skill points to whichever hero you would like. Do this only on hero day.
