Stars: making a hero stronger
Text marked "In the game" is the game's own wording, word for word: the skill's description from the Heroes screen's (i) and the "Now" and "Next star" lines under the skill. The numbers are worked out the way the game works them out.
Every hero goes from ★1 to ★8. A star costs portraits of that hero plus coins. Universal portraits stand in for any hero's portraits. Each new star makes the skill stronger (the numbers above show ★1 and ★8).
| Star | Portraits needed |
|---|---|
| ★2 | 7 |
| ★3 | 10 |
| ★4 | 15 |
| ★5 | 23 |
| ★6 | 33 |
| ★7 | 50 |
| ★8 | 76 |
A boss level you have won before gives 3 portraits each time you win it again.
