Each hero has four skills. The maximum levels of the first and second skills are 120, the third is 100, and the fourth is 80.
You can manually activate only the first one. To do so, press the hero icon when it starts glowing, and the energy bar is full.
The second, third, and fourth skills activate automatically according to their recharge period, i.e., cooldown time. It means you have to wait a certain amount of time before a hero can cast these skills again. You can learn the timings of skill casts by observing battles or asking fellow players on our official Discord server.
To read a skill description, select a hero in the Heroes menu and press the skill icon in the Skills tab.
Along with the name, animation, level, and the skill description itself, there are two points you should pay special attention to:
- Control effects and skill keywords (e.g., Mark, Sacrifice, Shield, Resurrection, etc.). These features may significantly impact battle, as affected heroes receive special buffs or are unable to perform certain actions.
- The skill's power and the damage type it deals. Red numbers indicate physical damage, violet numbers indicate magic damage, and green numbers may indicate pure damage or other effects such as healing, stat boosts, and more.
In the nearby brackets of a numeric value, you can see the stat that the skill scales with. To enable the detailed view and see the formula, according to which the numeric value is determined:
-
Go to your profile in the upper-left corner.
-
Open Settings.
-
Toggle the Complete Skill Info option:
That is how the skill description looks when the option is enabled:
| To level up a skill, you need both Skill Points and gold. After you use Points, it takes time for them to restore: you get one Point every five minutes. You can get a maximum of 20 Skill Points this way. |
Note: If the Exchange Shop pops up when you try to level up a skill, it means that you do not have enough gold for a level-up.
To get more points, tap the plus icon next to the Points counter.
You can receive more Skill Points by:
-
Watching a video ad every eight hours. Each watched video grants you 10 Skill Points.
-
Spending emeralds.
-
Purchasing one-time offers that contain Skill Points.
Each bundle also includes gold and speeds up Skill Point restoration by 3 Points per hour. Without these bundles, you get 12 Points per hour — one every five minutes. If you buy one of the bundles, you will get 15 Points — one Point every four minutes. If you buy both bundles, the bonuses will stack, so you will get 18 Points per hour — one Point every 3:20 minutes.
The offer containing 250 Skill Points also permanently increases Points auto-refill capacity from 20 to 30 Points.
Note: There is no limit on how many Skill Points you can earn by watching videos or by spending emeralds. Thus, you can have more than 20 Skill Points available at a time.
Realm Skills
Some heroes also have Realm skills in addition to their basic ones. You can view and upgrade them in the Realm tab after you gain access to the World Map:
Realm skills give troops new abilities for battles on the World Map. The first skill unlocks at hero level 5, and the second one at hero level 20. The maximum Realm skill level is 5, and every upgrade requires a certain hero level:
| Realm Skill Level | First Realm Skill | Second Realm Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hero level 5 | Hero level 20 |
| Level 2 | Hero level 12 | Hero level 40 |
| Level 3 | Hero level 40 | Hero level 60 |
| Level 4 | Hero level 80 | Hero level 100 |
| Level 5 | Hero level 100 | Hero level 120 |
To upgrade Realm Skills, you need Manuals of the corresponding Realm type.
| Infantry Manual | Spearmen Manual | Marksmen Manual |
For example, Galahad is an Infantry Commander and boosts Infantry, so his Realm skills require Infantry Manuals.
When selecting heroes for a World Map battle, you can check each hero’s Realm skill type by the icon on their portrait:
You can also check the Realm skill description to see which troop type the skill applies to:
There are several ways to get Manuals:
-
from a Tomes Casket, which has a chance to drop after attacking a Brigand Camp on the World Map;
- as the reward in special events;
- by purchasing special offers.
