  The more stars on a champ, they more powerful they are. Eventually (when they get to five stars), they start getting other perks too.
  
  Sometimes you need champions of a specific star rating to complete certain types of content. It's rare, especially after Kabam removed such a restriction from Act 6, but it still happens every now and again.

  What does stars do on a champ , do they only increase its potential or something else too?

  The more stars, the more powerful a champ is. Gold stars means the champ is unduped, Silver stars mean the champion is “awakened”

  bro, remember your roots!
  1* have no second ability, and no access to sp3.
  2* can be Awakened (extra ability), and when ranked get access to sp3. also have 3 ranks.
  3* have sp3 from the start, and four ranks.
  4* are the first to have 5 potential ranks.
  5* are the first where their Sig Ability can be raised to 200 (duping, or items).
  6* have Adreneline, a built in (partial) heal if you attack after being hit.
  7* have Stat Focus: you can chose one stat on offense, one defense, that gets a boost.
  8* will be tied directly to your credit score...
  
  yes, higher stars, higher base stats and greater room to improve the character.

  What is that , is it SP 3 dmg increase when attacking and when defending it decreases ,
  If yes , then for both or just the opponent (on defending)

  No during sp 3 a loader will show and if you tap the screen the right time, it will increase your sp3 damage by 12-20%. Alternatively during opponents special attack, the same loader will appear, by clicking it at right time, you can reduce opponents special damage by 12-20%.
  
  This is called sp3 minigame. Available for champs above 5* rarities.

  Also remember these, 3* champs and above can be equipped with relics, which gives extra abilities.
  
  4* - 6* champs can be ascended, which will provide 20% boost to health and attack.
  
  6* have adrenaline mechanism, which allows you to heal a certain amount of health lost, this bypasses all heal block mechanics.

  You mean this initial question isn’t just a joke post, from someone in ACT-6 ?
  And people taking the bait ?
  
  + you never seen the progress bar moving along on an SP3 once you started having 5* champs, and tapped the screen as it progresses ?
  
  ——
  Or thought maybe it was a lead-in for being an informational post for future people, but then failed to provide the actual information (and left that to others here).
