Champion Stat Improvements

Each upgrade level provides a percentage increase to the stats of the champions associated with that faction. For example:

• Level 1: +2% to all stats

• Level 3: +5% to all stats

• Level 5: +7% to all stats

These stat improvements apply to attributes such as health, attack, and defense.

As players progress and upgrade their buildings, they not only witness the visual transformation of their faction’s base but also enjoy the tangible benefits of enhanced champion performance. Benefits may be locked out of competitive gameplay or seriously devalued outside special events.
