Hero shards

Stars
See how many hero shards you need to raise stars. Costs are the same for every hero: pick one for portrait context and the correct unlock amount.

Shards needed

Pick current and target stars, including fragments. See total cost, how many more shards you still need after owned shards, and the optional unlock cost.

Star upgrade costs are the same for every hero. The hero pick mainly sets portrait context and unlock amount.

Notes
  • Two modes: Shards needed (current → target cost) and How far can I go? (owned shards → reachable stage + leftover).
  • Max rank is 5★ (30 internal star levels; each full star has 6 sub-levels).
  • 0★ → 5★ costs 1,065 dedicated shards for every hero.
  • Unlock usually costs 10 shards (Rita 40, Sebastian 20). Universal rarity shards can convert 1:1 in game; this calculator tracks dedicated shards only.

About this calculator

Hero star upgrades consume dedicated shards. The cost to climb from one star (or sub-level) to another is the same for every hero · pick a portrait for context and the correct unlock amount when you still need to recruit them.

Use Shards needed when you know your target: set current and target stars (click star points for fragments), then compare the total to owned shards.

Use How far can I go? when you only know your current stars and inventory: enter owned shards to see the highest stage you can reach and how many shards are left over.

Quick tips

  • Max is 5★. Going 0★ → 5★ costs 1,065 dedicated shards, not counting unlock.
  • Unlock is usually 10 shards (exceptions: Rita 40, Sebastian 20). In How far can I go?, unlock is paid from your budget first.
  • Browse heroes in the hero database while you plan which stars to push next.
