In Empires & Puzzles, 5-star heroes are some of the most powerful and sought-after characters in the game. Obtaining these heroes is a significant part of progressing through the game and building a formidable team. However, getting 5-star heroes is not an easy task and requires dedication, strategy, and a bit of luck.
Introduction to 5-Star Heroes
5-star heroes are the highest rarity in Empires & Puzzles, making them incredibly valuable for both PvP and PvE content. These heroes are essential for high-level battles, Titan fights, wars, and raids. A well-built 5-star hero can significantly enhance your team’s performance, and it’s important to focus on obtaining and upgrading them.
How to Obtain 5-Star Heroes
There are several ways to acquire 5-star heroes in Empires & Puzzles. The methods vary in terms of cost, time, and effort, but all of them offer a path to obtaining these coveted heroes.
Summoning Heroes (Elemental and Epic Hero Tokens)
One of the main ways to acquire 5-star heroes is through the summoning portal. Summoning allows you to use summon tokens or gems to pull heroes of varying rarity, including 5-star heroes.
Summoning Types
- Epic Hero Tokens: Use Epic Hero Tokens to summon heroes from the Epic Hero Portal. This portal offers a chance to get 5-star heroes, though the chances are relatively low. You can get Epic Hero Tokens through quest rewards, chests, and VIP benefits.
- Elemental Summons: Elemental Summons offer a chance to get 5-star heroes from a specific element (Fire, Nature, Ice, Dark, Holy). The probability of obtaining a 5-star hero from these summons is low but increases if you are aiming for a hero of a particular element.
- Seasonal Summons: These include events like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or Summer, where special 5-star heroes are available. During these events, limited-time heroes are available, and the summon rate may be slightly higher for those 5-star heroes.
Using Gems
- Gems can be used for summons, but they are a premium currency in the game, and using gems for summoning 5-star heroes is an expensive approach. It’s best to use them strategically when you are focusing on acquiring high-tier heroes.
- 10-pulls using gems offer a chance at obtaining multiple heroes, including 5-star heroes, though luck plays a major role.
Chances of Summoning 5-Star Heroes
- Summon Odds: The chance to get a 5-star hero from summoning is very low (around 1-2%), so this can be a long and costly path. You will likely need to summon multiple times to increase your odds of obtaining a 5-star hero.
Events and Tournaments
Special events and tournaments often provide opportunities to earn 5-star heroes through rewards. These events may feature a summon portal that increases the likelihood of obtaining high-tier heroes, including 5-star heroes.
Challenge Events
- Challenge events feature unique heroes that can be summoned during specific time frames. These heroes are sometimes exclusive to the event and can be 5-stars, with higher chances of getting them during the event period.
Seasonal Events
- Limited-time seasonal events often offer the opportunity to summon 5-star heroes tied to the theme of the event. Participating and completing these events can sometimes give you the chance to earn exclusive 5-star heroes.
Advanced and Epic Hero Summons
While regular summons are an option, there are Advanced Summons and Epic Hero Summons that offer a higher chance of pulling 5-star heroes.
Advanced Summons
- You can use Epic Hero Tokens or gems to perform Advanced Summons. The chances of pulling 5-star heroes here are higher than with regular summons, but still, this is dependent on luck.
Building the Strongest Heroes Through Training Camps
One of the primary ways to level up and acquire 5-star heroes in Empires & Puzzles is by using Training Camps.
Training Camps (TC20)
- The Training Camp (level 20) is essential for obtaining 5-star heroes. By upgrading your Training Camp to level 20 (TC20), you can begin training 5-star heroes. The TC20 training facility produces a mix of 4-star and 5-star heroes with the chance of obtaining a 5-star hero at a rate of approximately 5-6%.
- TC20 Training Tips:
- Use all available slots: Keep all your training slots active and make sure to always be training.
- Patience is key: The training time for TC20 is around 2 days, so you may have to wait for some time to get the desired 5-star heroes.
Ascending Heroes (Hero Ascension)
Though not directly related to summoning, ascending your 4-star heroes to 5-stars is a way to get a fully upgraded hero. Ascension requires materials and leveling up your heroes, and once you have the necessary materials, you can promote your 4-star heroes to 5-star.
Hero Ascension
- Ascension materials are required to level up your heroes to the highest star level. You need to collect materials through quest rewards, Titan battles, and challenges.
- Once you reach max level for a 4-star hero and have all the required ascension items, you can ascend that hero to 5-star.
Purchasing 5-Star Heroes with Gems
From time to time, you can purchase 5-star heroes directly using gems from the Special Offers section or the Shop. These are limited-time offers, often tied to special events or promotions.
Special Offers
- These offers may include hero packs containing a guaranteed 5-star hero as part of a bundle deal. Be on the lookout for such offers, but only spend your gems wisely, as these can be costly.
Conclusion
Acquiring 5-star heroes in Empires & Puzzles is a combination of summoning, training, and ascending your heroes. The best strategy involves a mix of TC20 training, event participation, and regular summoning to maximize your chances of obtaining powerful 5-star heroes. Keep in mind that obtaining 5-star heroes can be time-consuming, and patience is required. Additionally, ensure that you are making the most of your gems and resources to increase your chances of pulling 5-star heroes.
