The only way players can obtain Heroes or Trinkets is by Crafting them from a Blueprint, which consumes the Blueprint and all required Gold, Parts, and Coins.

Crafted Heroes and Trinkets have randomized Stats, but their Passive abilities are exactly the same every time.

Everything you need for Crafting can be found from winning battles at the Arena.

Optionally: Spend Tokens on a minor loot Chest or a Magical Blueprint. Spend Gold at the Market to get more Coins, Parts, or Blueprints.

Hero Bonus: When Crafting a Hero, it has a guaranteed Bonus Passive trait. Examples: Hero revives faster when killed, Hero provides Energy resource boost when killed, Hero has +20% Crit vs Ranged Attackers.

Trinkets: Any Hero can equip any 3 Trinkets. Examples: Hero damage +10% to enemy Base, Hero takes 5 less damage, Hero Evade +15% when Carrying a Core.

Player Enhancements: Enhancements unlock by completing Achievements. Examples: Hit 5 enemies at once with a Missile, Destroy enemy base with Fire Exploder Minion. Related Enhancements: Energy Missile gains +30 Damage, Fire Exploder Minion gains +100 HP

Terrain Obstacles: Each Map has 1 Terrain Obstacle. Example: Fire Maps have Lava. When Minions or Heroes walk over Lava, their Max HP is reduced by damage inflicted.

Crystals: Crystals are randomly placed on the Map with the Arena Battle starts. Attacking crystals will always generate Resources of the Crystal's Element. Destroying them can sometimes find a Core.

Cores: Carry any found Core back to your Base to get awarded +1 Acquired Core. First to 3 Cores wins. Destroy enemy carrying a Core to make them drop it, you can pick it up.
