| Ultimate | None |
| Skill 1 | None |

| Hero Focus | Ascend Hero to Legendary+ |
| EX Skill | Ascend Hero to Mythic+ |
| Enhance Force | Ascend Hero to Supreme+ |
You can Ascend heroes by using Soul Sigils and Acorns, both of which you get mainly by recruiting heroes in the Noble Tavern’s Recruitment Banners.

| A-Level | 63 Soul Sigils | 200 Faction/Omni-Acorns |
