When do hero empowerments unlock?

Or how do we use them? I always have a ton of blood shards but nothing to use them on. Resets are cheap.

When you level a hero to level 150 you can rank them (empower them). It increases their DPS by a lot each rank up. Each rank costs 1 more blood shard than the previous. Ranking to rank 2 costs 1 shard, Rank 3 costs 2 shards and so on.

One trick is to be ranking up one 4 before you last guy you've just unlocked. Keeping your heroes ranked up can really improve your DPS/Pushing capabilities

I have been doing that. I figured empowerments were another thing entirely. OK. Ty.

If i have one suggestion on that matter it would replkacing the x100 level by a x75 lever. As it sounds like a nerf in quality of life, it is on the opposite side an improvement because it only takes two time x75 to be at max level to rank up your heroes :)

I'm interest in the trick you mention but english is not my first language so I don't understand what you mean by "ranking up one 4 before your last guy you've just unlocked". Can you explain that to me, please?

Thanks!

You'll see they both give a good %DPS (bottom left corner). Since Fedelm is the next Rank 1, I'll start working on her when I'm close to putting a point into Aurnia, or right after putting a point in her.

Hopefully that's a bit more clear. This works well until you hit the last heroes. Then I'd just circle through leveling the last 5 or so for a while pushing their Ranks up until you need to start adding in more heroes to push higher levels.

Thanks LadyMischief, I understand better now. I will check that in my game. Thanks for the tips!
