Procedure
Leveling up and promoting your champions gives them stat boosts. These boosts can make your champions tougher by increasing stats such as their damage. Although these improvements are small individually, they add up over time and significantly enhance your champions' performance.
Leveling up a champion primarily focuses on improving their base statistics, such as damage, health, or other attributes. On the other hand, promoting a champion is a separate mechanic that aims to increase the champion's rarity. Promoting a champion not only allows you to exceed the standard level limit, granting them additional levels beyond what is achievable through leveling alone, but it also directly impacts the champion's rarity and potentially elevates them to a higher tier.
However, it's essential to note that while promotion may increase a champion's overall strength and abilities, their earning capacity will remain consistent with their original rarity. For example, if you originally have an uncommon champion, promote it to a higher tier, and later convert it into NFT-Ready/NFT, the champion will still earn rewards and benefits based on its original rarity, which, in this case, is uncommon. Promoting to a higher tier enhances the champion's power but does not alter their earning potential in the Play & Earn system.
Leveling Up A Champion
1) Launch the game and click on the Champion menu button.
2) Select the Champion you want to level-up. In this example, we are leveling up Selena.
3) Click the LEVEL-UP button. Note: This button will be grayed out if you lack the required resources for leveling up. In the following scenario, upgrading Selena from Level 4 to Level 5 requires 1040 Gold and 110 Champion Experience points.
As champions level up, their requirements will gradually increase. Additionally, every 20 levels will require Lapis, in addition to gold and champion experience, for leveling.
Promoting A Champion
1) Launch the game and click ESTATE.
2) If you haven't become a member of any specific estate, you have the option to utilize the COUNCIL, also referred to as the general estate. Simply click on MY ESTATE.
3) Tap the ALTAR OF CHAMPIONS.
4) Choose PROMOTE from the menu located on the right-hand side.
5) Pick the champion you want to promote, and then click on the PROMOTE button. Please keep in mind that promoting a champion requires Soul Stones and Lapis, and these requirements will gradually increase as you promote the champion further.
You have successfully promoted your champion!
You have the option to continue upgrading your champions even after they've been converted into NFT-Ready/NFT, but their original rarity will remain unchanged. If a champion starts as uncommon, it will remain uncommon. Promoting your champions enhances their strength, but their rarity remains constant, and this rarity is solely taken into account for Victory Point calculations.
