Every story needs a Hero! Imbue cards with heroic qualities and special Hero Abilities by equipping Heroes.
What Are Heroes?
Like Evolutions, Heroes are special versions of Cards that can be equipped to grant them new abilities and effects. Once you’ve unlocked a Hero and placed it in the Hero Slot in your deck, the card will appear as a Hero during battles.
Apparently Heroes are big fans of the color gold, and this is reflected in their appearance. Bedazzling… bewitching… beautiful!
Unlocking Heroes
To unlock Heroes, you’ll have to get your hands on some Hero Coins! Hero Coins can be earned from certain events and the Pass Royale free track.
Hero Coins
Gather 200 Hero Coins to unlock a Hero of your choice! You can check your Hero Coin total by navigating to the ‘Card Forms’ tab of your Collection, and tapping ‘Unlock’ to choose the Hero you’d like after gathering enough. Excess Hero Coins received after hitting the inventory limit of 200 will convert into 1 Gem each.
If you receive a duplicate of a Hero you have already unlocked (through an event, for example), you’ll earn copies of that card and 20 Hero Coins instead.
Using Heroes
To activate a Hero you’ve unlocked, place the card in the Hero Slot or Wild Slot in your deck. Otherwise, the card will appear in its regular form during battle.
Unlock the Hero Slot at Arena 5, and the Wild Slot at Arena 10! You can also place Evo or Champion Cards in the Wild Slot.
Hero Forms in Battle
Time for some good old-fashioned heroism! Cards that are played in Hero Form bring special Hero Abilities to the field, which can be activated by spending Elixir. Time your Hero Abilities wisely to turn the tide of battle in your favor.
Activate a Hero Ability after playing a Hero by tapping its icon at the bottom of your screen. This icon also displays the Elixir cost of the Hero Ability.
You can customize the location that your Hero Ability buttons appear in battle by tapping the ‘Heroes’ section in the ‘Magic Items’ tab of your Deck — from here, tap ‘How to Play’ and then ‘Customize’ to choose whether they appear at the bottom left, bottom right, or both bottom corners of your device’s screen. If more than one Hero is on the field, their Hero Abilities will be displayed in the order the Heroes have been placed in your deck.
