Master discussion & information thread for the Soul Exchange feature, added to Empires and Puzzles in Version 45.
General Info
The Soul Exchange {SE} is a feature added to empires and puzzles as an attempt to partially solve the âduplicate heroâ issue that most long-term players have.
The feature allows you to exchange some of your excess Legendary Heroes {5*} for one from a list of options.
The list of heroes is the same for everyone and is split into 3 tiers of âgoodnessâ {or percieved goodness by SGG really}. Each tier costs more âsoulsâ to exchange; 1 soul = 1 hero:
Tier 1 = 10 souls
Tier 2 = 15 souls
Tier 3 = 20 souls
How it works!
Pretty simple really; the Soul Exchange will appear as a âpop-upâ on your Base screen, and remain there for 2 days.
Open the Soul Exchange by tapping the pop-up
Select the heroes youâre trading in.
If you select too few, you will be unable to choose the desired hero⊠vice versa, if you choose too many for the desired hero, youâll be prompted to return to âdeselectâ a couple of them.
Select the hero you want from the list
Hit OK & confirm your choices.
And thatâs it! You are now the owner of a level 1-1 copy of the selected hero!
Heroes Available
Check comment immediately below. I have made these a âwikiâ so they can be updated by people over time as the SE reappears.
Some Things to Note
Slash answers to common questions.
You can only make 1 (ONE) exchange per Soul Exchange⊠so choose wisely!
Yes the list is identical for everyone
Yes the Soul Exchange will return down the track {based on SGGâs communications}. Itâs unconfirmed how often but they indicated âa fewâ times per year (so 3-4 times). SGG also indicated that the heroes available would change each appearance.
All heroes recieved will be at 1-1, regardless of the level of heroes you put INTO the exchange.
You will be prompted to confirm an additional time if you have selected a hero which is levelled (partially or fully).
You need to have âunlockedâ a hero before you can select it in the exchange⊠Favourited heroes will still be unselectable so no need to worry about accidentally picking your +20 LBâd Alfrike! This can be done from the âselectionâ screen in the Soul Exchange, so still be a little careful.
You will NOT get the costume for a hero unless it specifically states you will get it in the Soul Exchange
{Example in #1, it shows Costume Horghall so you get the costume and hero. Rana however does NOT show her costume so you donât get it.}
Torn between Arco & Milena as well. Sitting on 21 tonics & 17 scopes just waiting to be used on someone decent. My question is, about Milena, how versatile is she? I get iffy about using charge heroes on defense. There are many times I fight her and she never reaches second charge for the entire battle. My spouse has Arco and loves him and uses him everywhere, Iâm just curious if Milena is someone you could throw on a war defense flank. With the power creep growing, I find myself constantly needing to reevaluate my defensive line ups.
I always hesitate to use multi-charge heroes on defense because of the inconsistency. That being said, Milena does work on defense. Most of the time sheâll fire off the very fast heal/cleanse and that, by itself, is a great asset. If the battle goes on long and stalemated enough that she gets to the second charge, she can wipe out an entire side. Iâve used her at flank and even experimentally at tank in some wars.
Sheâs an all around badass. Iâm in the middle of ascending a second copy and sheâs the only 5 star dupe Iâve ever devoted the materials to raising.
I bring her in a 3-1-1 set up with the 3 being the strong color for the tank and the other is a healer. Its a really nice set up as Milena is there in case of emergencies and if it isnt needed, she hits like a mack truck on that 2nd charge. I absolutely love here and if I have enough to trade in, Iâll take a 2nd but im sitting at 17 atm so dont see it happening
FYI, I had her in my defense until last week when I finally was able to level Tinsel. From what Iâve found, she is annoying AF or scary AF and cant be ignored. Its almost an annoying relief when she heals
Bruh⊠If you are a paid lobbiest for the pro-milena faction⊠You need to disclose that.
But seriously⊠With waddles and hopefully bubbles soon, i love charge heroes in defense because the first charge is usually not too terrible and if they are on their second or third charge i can pretty easily discharge all of their mana with waddles.
I am all for saving $ man. Most of my teams have dupes. Dupe ariels, evelyns, gpanthers, garnets, tethys, el naddas, etc. allows me to skip any attack hero that adds no benefit to my teams. Every hero in a team has a purpose. Kill or support. Once you have them, pulling any hero is just for your own collection. Adds little to no benefit to your teams.
One thing I do really enjoy about a mindless attack on magic heroes, is that they can still activate their passive when casting the mindless attack. There have been times wehre Anton has healed the stack just for fun, or Sergei has booped the enemy team⊠In look forward to Milena generously gifting 10% mana, even at the cost at a boop on the head to another hero
I have an update regarding Arco. Take it with a grain of salt as always, but last night i had a stress dream where i was setting Arco off and i was barely seeing any boosted health⊠All true.
This doesnât push me towards Milena⊠But i hate that this game sneaks into my dreams.
