NOTE: This is the second round of Advanced Hero Levelling.
Don’t get too attached
Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.
It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.
So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.

Second Round of Advanced hero Leveling.
Quick Summary
Using the combination of existing Aethers and new Alpha Aethers you can unlock further more 5 levels for Rare, Epic and Legendary heroes.
When “limit broken”, the hero has access to an additional +5 levels which grant large stat boosts per level, but in turn have a high cost of resources, materials & experience.
You can further limit break a hero if it reached level 85 for Legendaries, 75 for Epic heroes, and 55 for Rare heroes.
Limit Breakers
The new Alpha Aether have no elements so they can be used for any heroes.
Limit Breaking Costs
See table below for a summary of the cost to limit break a hero.
| Hero/costume | Rare L.Bs | Epic L.Bs | Legendary L.Bs | Alpha Aether |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rare hero | 1 | - | - | 1 |
| Rare costume | 1 | - | - | 1 |
| Epic hero | 5 | 1 | - | 3 |
| Epic costume | 3 | - | - | 1 |
| Legendary hero | 10 | 5 | 1 | 10 |
| Legendary costume | 5 | - | - | 1 |
Additional Levelling Costs
- Basically, the limit breaker just UNLOCKS the additional +5 levels.
- You then need to level the hero up like normal by feeding trainers/ feeder heroes to them…
- Unlike normal levelling, to go from one level to the next, there is a cost in both food and exp (like normal) AND iron, normal Aethers and ascension materials.*

Ascension Material Costs
Note: These only apply when you go from {x} level to {y} level.
Note 2: These costs are the same for the normal hero as for a costume.

Exp per Level
| Rarity | +1 Level | +2 Level | +3 Level | +4 Level | +5 Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rare (3*) | 2,520 | 2,600 | 2,682 | 2,765 | 2,849 |
| Epic (4*) | 7,757 | 7,951 | 8,148 | 8,347 | 8,549 |
| Legendary (5*) | 15,788 | 16,140 | 16,496 | 16,856 | 17,220 |
Example Stat Boosts
You get an initial boost to the heroes base stats when you apply the limit breaker. Then there are additional stat boosts for every “Advanced Level” you progress.
The degree of this stat boost depends on the rarity of the hero. The listed stat boost (below) applies to all three base stats (Attack, Def & HP).
| Rarity | Limit Break Boost | Advanced Levels (Per level) |
|---|---|---|
| Rare (3*) | 8.7% | 2.8% |
| Epic (4*) | 5.2% | 1.9% |
| Legendary (5*) | 5.2% | 1.75% |
So by the end of it all, you get the following boost to max stats:
- Rare = 122,55% boosted stats
- Epic = 114.46%
- Legendary = 114.05%
(And that’s excluding emblem bonuses and costume bonuses and troop modifers…!!!)
Additional notes/ Observations
-
Heroes with costumes must be Limit Broken TWICE. Once for the base hero, once for the costume.
Note if you just wanna use the base hero, there is no added benefit to limit breaking the costume too. -
Costume Bonses apply AFTER the limit breaking. So you get the limit broken stats and then the costume bonus on top of that
-
Emblem boosts apply AFTER the limit breaking also.
