Summoners!
It’s almost time for 6-Star Champions to be released! You’ve been very patient, and the time has come for us to share more information with you all on the future of 6-Star Champions in the Contest.
It’s been almost six months since we announced they were coming, and in that time much has changed! We introduced a slew of benefits for The Uncollected, introduced a brand new difficulty of Monthly Quests, and brought Act 5 to a close, giving many summoners their first taste of a fully ranked 5-Star Champion. You’ve also encountered 6-Star Champions a few times, in our Boss Rush Challenge, Act 5 Chapter 4, and in the Uncollected Difficulty level of Monthly event quests, but have yet to get a hold of them yourselves!
While their presence may have seemed intimidating, you’ll be able to fight 6-Star Champions off with your 4 and 5-Star Champions. But like a 3-Star taking on a 5-Star, don’t expect them to go down easy!
4-Star Champions will still be the criteria we base a lot of our content on, like our Master Difficulty level and various other special events. 6-Star Champions will have an easier time in those modes however, and there is content now being produced that is better suited to stronger Champions, like the Uncollected Difficulty level.

Now, you’re probably asking yourself how do 6-Star Champions stack up against your growing roster of 5-Star Champions? Though the Rank Up materials you’ll need for these Champions are becoming more common, they’re still rare, so we wanted to make 6-Star Champions more immediately useful to Summoners. A 6-Star Champion at Rank 1, Level 25 will have slightly higher Stats than a 5-Star Champion at Rank 4, Level 55, and 6-Star Champion at Rank 2, Level 35 will have slightly higher stats than a 5-Star at Rank 5, Level 65.
What resources are involved with reaching these ranks? Reaching Rank 2 of a 6-Star Champion will cost more resources than reaching Rank 5 of a 5-Star Champion. So while they are slightly more powerful, it is up to you if you would like to spend more resources on the 6-Star Champion.
Rank 1 to 2:
7x Tier 4 Basic Catalysts
7x Tier 4 Class Catalysts
7x Tier 2 Alpha Catalysts
3x Tier 5 Basic Catalysts
Average Gold Per Level Cost: 24,924
Gold needed to rank up to Rank 2: 529,173
Rank 2 to 3:
8x Tier 4 Class Catalysts
8x Tier 2 Alpha Catalysts
4x Tier 5 Basic Catalysts
1x Tier 5 Class Catalyst
Average Gold Per Level Cost: 26,934
Currently, Summoners will only be able to reach Rank 2 of a 6-Star Champion, as further progression requires currently unavailable resources. Keep an eye out for Tier 5 Class Catalysts in the future!
Now remember, when making your decision about if you’d rather invest in your 5-Star or 6-Star Champions, there is one more thing that makes 6-Star Champions stand out...
Adrenaline!
Adrenaline is a brand new mechanic in the Contest that is only available to 6-Star Champions. After your Champion is struck by your opponent, you may be able to hit your opponent back to regain some of the health that you lost. Find out everything you need to know about Adrenaline here!

“Where do I get my first 6-Star?”. That is the question! 6-Star Shards are currently available by duplicating 5-Star Champions, as well as by completing the Uncollected Difficulty of Monthly Event Quests.
But what about Crystals? The Basic Crystal is 10,000 Shards, and will initially feature 24 Champions. In the future, we will be releasing a Featured 6-Star Crystal that will feature a set of 24 champions - similar to the updated Featured 5-Star Crystal. For more information, check out this post here. More on when this 6-Star Featured crystal will be available in the future!
So, who will be in the first 6-Star Crystal? Good question! Here is the list.
Storm, Karnak, Captain America WWII, Juggernaut, Gamora, Yondu, Deadpool (X-Force), Kingpin, Red Hulk, Loki, Angela, Nebula, Cable, Winter Soldier, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, King Groot, Green Goblin, Beast, Daredevil (Classic), Yellowjacket, Thor (Jane Foster), Black Bolt and Rocket Racoon.
Lastly, when will you be able to open a 6-Star Crystal? We’re excited to announce that 6-Star Champions will be obtainable, starting January 31st! You’ll have to update to the latest version of the game to be able to open a 6-Star Crystal. Get ready Summoners! Once those 6-Stars arrive, you’ll be able to use them in Solo Quests and Events, Alliance Quests, and Alliance Wars.
Let's talk! Ask your Questions and Discuss in our Discussion Thread!
EDIT: We've been seeing a lot of questions regarding the Capacity of Tier 5 Basics. They are currently set to 2, but with the 17.0 Release next week, you will be able to carry 6.
