Second Limit Breaking Second Limit Breaking with Alpha Aethers and Aether Gifts
This purpose of this topic is to provide information about the second limit breaking, alpha aethers and aether gifts.
If you looking for information about the first limit breaking, and the Mirages of Omega Quest, then please visit the following topic:
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

- Mystic Vision (0.1% chance)
- Aether Summon (starting on April 3rd):
- Upcoming “Alpha Treasury Quest”

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 |

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.*

@Zartanis’s guide about second limit breaking costs:
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…!!!)
Aether Powers
One of these the following Aether Powers will be assigned to specific heroes, which will affect hundreds of heroes.
At the start of each battle, this Hero gains a dispellable buff for specific turns, but the opposite direction ailments are not overwriting them.
Heroes gain access to a new Aether Power upon reaching the second maximum level.
In battles with multiple waves, the effect is refreshed at the beginning of each wave.
