Progression System

Duplicates and Currency

  1. Duplicate Champions: When players obtain duplicate champions, they don’t go to waste. Instead:

  • Duplicates are converted into Champion Shards and Unique Champion Shards (of the current champion obtained).

  • Unique Champion Shards are specific to the duplicated champion.

  • Generic Champion Shards can be used on any champion.

  • Accumulating Champion Shards unlocks upgrades.

Upgrading Star Levels

  1. Unlocking Higher Stars: Players spend Champion Shards and other soft currency to upgrade star levels:

  • 1-Star to 2-Star: Requires a specific number of Champion Shards for that champion.

  • 2-Star to 3-Star: More Champion Shards

  • 3-Star to 4-Star: Even more Champion Shards

  • 4-Star to 5-Star: The most challenging upgrade, requiring significant investment.

Benefits of Higher Stars

  1. Power Boost: Higher-star champions are significantly stronger:

  • Increased base stats (HP, ATK, DEF, etc.).

  • Improved abilities and damage output.

  1. Unlocking Passives and Skills:

  • 3-Star and above champions gain access to unique passives or skills.

  • These passives enhance gameplay, such as increased crit chance, healing over time, or bonus damage against specific enemies.

Player Experience

  • Excitement of Progression: Players eagerly collect duplicates, knowing they contribute to champion growth.

  • Strategic Choices: Should they upgrade their favorite 1-star champion or save for a rare 3-star?

Visual Satisfaction: Watching a champion evolve from 1 star to 5 stars should be visually rewarding.
