Arcane Stars Guide
By Burned Trix.
Arcane System
Well, you may know that there is a rarity system in the game (the golden stars). To add more complexity to our beloved game, we have the shiny Arcane Stars, which increase the power of your hero by a percentage depending on how many arcane stars you have on them. It varies between 5% and 100% extra. At summoner level 50, you have access to them.
Arcane stars are linked to the Gold Star system. That means that if you have a 4 Gold Star ⭐️ hero you will only be capable of activating the 4th arcane star (even if you own the 5th arcane star).
Let’s talk about other general considerations about the arcane system.
You don’t need to unlock the stars by buying them one by one. For example if you get a 5AS (Arcane Star) pull, you will unlock the 5th arcane star right away.
Now I’ll divide the guide in two parts. Token shop and Arcane Chest.
Token Shop
As you may notice, there is a “Token” shop in the market, where you can buy AS (Arcane Stars) for your heroes. But there are some considerations about this.
First, let’s talk about the currency you will use to buy in this shop.
Silver Tokens and Gold Tokens
Silver tokens are used to buy arcane stars from 1 to 5. Gold tokens buy 6 and 7 AS. That’s it.
How to earn tokens? There are a lot of ways to get silver tokens and a few to get gold tokens.
Tokens can be obtained in:
- A special once a month event called “Token Rush.” Its functionality is similar to the “Challenges”.
- End of Raid season rewards.
- Milestones: Lord of Silver, Energy Burst, and Horn of Heroes.
- Free daily chest.
- Seasonal special events (Christmas, Halloween, Easter, etc)
- The 4th season of Cradle of Chaos (Third Area – Level Six)
There is no optimal way to manipulate this shop, so you will rely on your luck (or bags of gold to Refresh the shop).
You can only buy the “next AS” of your hero. For example, I’ve got Tsuna with 3 AS. The shop will only offer me the 4th AS for Tsuna (you can buy it even if you don’t have the ⭐️ required). Note that if you get the next AS on a hero, the shop doesn’t change its offer for a higher star until it has reset.
Legendary heroes can get their arcane stars by using their currency (it will vary depend of the faction and event) or using Legendary Talisman, this work the same as other AS.There is an “offer” that appears every now and then in the Arcane Chest section in the market that gives you access to a discount of a AS to a legendary hero. So be sure to check on those before spending your precious Legendary Talisman.
Arcane Chest
As the game teaches you, there are Arcane Coins, used to open Arcane Chest. I’ll simplify this system for you.
Normal Arcane Chest opens with the normal Arcane Coins (you can get these in the Lord of silver milestone,challenges and daily tasks.)
With this chest, you can get (randomly) between 1 to 7 AS. It cost 2000 arcane coins. Open 120 times and get a 5AS (randomly).
IV Arcane Chest opens with IV arcane coins.
With this chest you can get between 4 to 7 AS. It cost 5000 IV arcane coins. Open 60 times and get a 6AS (randomly).
V arcane chest opens with V arcane coins.
With this chest you can get between 5 to 7 AS. It cost 5000 V arcane coins. Open 40 times and get a 7AS (randomly)
VI Arcane Chest opens with VI arcane coins.
With this chest you can get between 6 to 7 AS. It cost 5000 VI arcane coins. Open 20 times and get a 7AS (randomly)
VII arcane chest opens with VII arcane coins.
With this chest you can get a 7 AS (randomly). It cost 2500 VII Arcane Coins. This is the only AS chest that doesn’t have a count on a guarantee, since each chest gives the max AS for a hero.
Duplicate Arcane Stars?
You will get (depending on what rarity) a refund of arcane coins of a higher chest. Also, if you already have a hero with 7 AS and you pull a repeated 7 AS on an Arcane Chest VII, you will get 150 golden tokens for the shop. Note that duplicate 7 stars from the other chests give the usual Arcane Coins in return.
Considerations
If you are new to the game, don’t bother in opening Arcane Chest. They will not be useful and will crush your power balance. Keeping a balanced top 5 hero list is important (Tomb of Horrors and Tournament difficulty are based on this). Save as many as you can. That’s the key to dominate this system. Savings.
You should open arcane chest only when it’s one of these events going on: a new hero event and special events milestones that pay out additional rewards. It can take a while to build enough to complete these.
I hope you found this useful. Wishing you luck!
