Hey again!
I promise that this is my last guide for the day!
With 1.0.08, it is now possible to upgrade a troop rarity, up to mythical. Each upgrade improve the troop stats.
RARITY AND LEVELS
Here is how troop rarity currently work:
Common < Rare < Ultra-Rare < Epic < Legendary < Mythic
Troops have a max level they can be upgraded to:
- Common: 15
- Rare: 16
- Ultra-Rare: 17
- Epic: 18
- Legendary: 19
- Mythic: 20
Improving troop rarity therefore enables you to upgrade your troop to a higher level.
UPGRADING TROOPS
For starters, we need to get into the crafting menu. Pick the troop you wish to upgrade and click on the anvil icon underneath the card:
Youâll immediately arrive on the Level tab, which tells you what your troop level currently is, and whether or not you can spend souls to upgrade it:
In the above screenshot, you can see that my troop is level 15, and that I can spend either 500 souls to improve it by one level, or 2 450 souls to upgrade it to its current max possible level, 19 (which means this is a legendary troop).
Each level from 16 to 19 gives +1 to the Attack, Armour and Life stats. Letâs increase this troop to 19! The game then gives me this message:
Ah yes, this is my current max level, but troops can now be mythical and get to level 20⌠so, how does this rarity change work?
ASCENSION
In order to improve a troop rarity, you need to sacrifice duplicates. Thatâs what the Ascension is all about.
Letâs see how it is in practice!
We first need to head to the Ascension tab:
From there, we can see how many troops are needed to get to the next level:
All that is needed now is to sacrifice the required number, which is 5 in this specific case, and click on the Ascend button. The Ascension tab then gives you this message:
Congrats! That troop is level 20! You still need to pay the soul fee to give it its new stats though:
Now, the Level tab will show you this text:
Ok, so thatâs all nice and dandy, but what is the exact price for ascending a troop? Well, it all depends on the base rarity. A troop needs one ascension for each new level of rarity:
- First Ascension: 5 duplicates
- Second Ascension: 10 duplicates
- Third Ascension: 25 duplicates
- Fourth Ascension: 50 duplicates
- Fifth Ascension: 100 duplicates
So a Legendary will âonlyâ need five duplicates to become mythical, while an Ultra-Rare will need 40 duplicates and a common will need 190! Obviously, itâs much easier to hoard lower rarity troops than higher ones, so itâs all get balanced in the end.
Letâs look at an example, the multiple Ascensions of a small Goblin from Zaejin:
Ascension 1
Ascension 2
Ascension 3
Ascension 4
Ascension 5 - sorry little Goblin, not nowâŚ
Yeah, I didnât have enough of them to go to Mythic, but I think itâs making the process pretty clear. Also, I am now the proud owner of a Legendary Goblin, so thereâs that.
I hope this guide helped make the rarity system clearer.
Have fun improving your units!
