# Hero Enhance & Level up

Heroes can be upgraded in various methods.

### Level Up

You can grow your hero by acquiring EXP through the campaign. Even if you do not directly participate in the battle, you can obtain a certain amount of experience if you register as an apprentice hero on the battlefield. You can also use growth powder to level up.

### Enhance

Every hero has a separate enhancement level and can be enhanced using other heroes and monsters as materials. The enhancement level is up to 5 steps.

### Ultimate Enhance

You can upgrade your heroes up to +5 through hero reinforcement, but you can strengthen up to +9 through ultimate enhancement. The hero must be ranked SSS in order to make the ultimate enhancement. The ultimate enhancement changes the hero's appearance, increases stats and opens additional rune slots. For ultimate enhancement, SSS heroes must be enhanced to +5 level, and another SSS +5 level hero will be consumed as the material for ultimate enhancement.

### Evolve

The hero's rarity (Star grade) can be upgraded through evolution. Evolving a hero increases the hero's grade and stats. In order to evolve a hero, the target hero must be enhanced to +5, and the hero with the same rarity, grade, and +5 enhancement as the target hero will be consumed as material. Even if you evolve, the hero's level, equipment, and skill level will be the same as before, but the enhancement level will be reset instead.

### Promote

You can increase a hero's rarity through promotion. Every hero has its own rarity, but can be transcended and become a higher rarity hero by promoting. In order to promote, the main hero's level should be at max level. and the target hero must be 6-star, +5 enhanced level, and the same type of 6-star, +5 enhanced hero as the target hero is consumed as the material. Upon completing the promotion, the hero's rarity will increase, along with the stats and maximum level.

### Awaken

Heroes can become stronger through awakening. In order to awaken, separate materials are required depending on the type of hero, and awakening materials can be obtained from the Temple of Blessing or Adventure Mode (Hard) in the Expedition.
Awakening increases your stats and your skills only used for awakening are unlocked.

### Equipment Enhance

Each hero has his/her own personal equipment. Players can collect enhancement materials to enhance the hero's equipment, which increases the hero's stats. Equipment can be enhanced up to +5, and upgraded by collecting equipment enhancement materials and, as a result, the hero's stats will be increased significantly.

### Skill Enhance

All heroes have skills that can be used in battle. There are active skills that are activated by players to trigger their effect, and passive skills that are always activated during battle. Players can enhance their skills by consuming gold, which makes the skills more powerful. The skill level cannot exceed the hero's level.

### Rune System

Runes are accessories that can be equipped by heroes, and unlike equipment, they do not belong to heroes and can be equipped and unequipped. The number of runes that can be equipped increases depending on the hero's grade.
Runes, like heroes, have rarities and grades, which determine the number of options and stats granted to the runes. Runes can be enhanced using red diamonds or other runes as materials, and runes with the same rarity and grade can be combined to increase the rune's grade.
