Skill Order
Upgrading the skills of your hero is probably the part where you can gain the most value – or optimize value – since higher skill level upgrade their abilities linear (for example gain 5% of stats per level) but the costs are getting higher and higher. We have designed ideal upgrade sweetspots for every player that will help you pick how far you should upgrade your hero without overspending. That means you can use resources for other heroes that you might have invested in skills not really needed for your cause.
