Card Upgrades

WIP

In Skylords Reborn cards can be upgraded to improve in power. Card Upgrades are performed in the Card Upgrades Window, which can only be accessed from the Forge User Interface, thus upgrading cannot be performed while playing a match.

Access to Card Upgrades Window via Card Inventory

Access Card Upgrades Window via Upgrade Inventory

The Card Upgrades Window can be opened from Inventory and right-clicking on a card or upgrade card and selecting Upgrade. Alternatively when the deck is locked, right-clicking on the card in the deck directly opens the Card Upgrades Window (Careful, as if the deck is unlocked this will remove the card directly from your deck!).

Charge Upgrades

Card Upgrades are a useful opportunity to improve the power of your cards. This may change their stats, costs or abilities. Some cards even gain completely new abilities when upgraded. Card Upgrades and additional charges increase your deck level. Each card can be upgraded up to three times.

Upgrades can be obtained as reward from Player versus Environmental Missions or be bought with Tokens earned in Randomly Generated Player versus Environment missions and Player versus Player matches.

Through upgrading your decks gain level. Each Upgrade and each additional charge on the card raises the deck level by 1. The maximum reachable decklevel is 120.

$\displaystyle 20{\text{ Cards}}\cdot {\big (}{\frac {3{\text{ Level}}}{\text{Upgrade}}}+{\frac {3{\text{ Level}}}{\text{Charge}}}{\big )}$

Costs for Upgrading

Costs for Upgrading the cards vary on the rarity of the to be upgraded card. You also need to unlock the Upgrade first by buying it with Tokens or dropping it randomly in PVE missions. The additional charges require 1 copy of the card for each charge added.

BattleForge cards support an upgrade mechanism which allows players to increase the power of their favorite cards. Upgrades are performed in the Card Upgrades window, which can only be accessed from the Forge UI (upgrades cannot be performed while playing a match). The card upgrades window can be opened from Inventory and right-clicking a card or upgrade card and clicking Upgrade.

Cards can be upgraded two levels, with each level having two types of upgrades, regular upgrades and charge upgrades. Regular upgrades are either won from PvE loot or claimed using PvP Tokens via the claim upgrade tab in the card upgrade window. Regular upgrades have one or more of the following effects:

Increase power of special abilities Give a new special ability Increase damage Increase life Regular upgrades cards also specify the upgrade level, I, II or III. To upgrade a card to level 1, an upgrade card for the card and level (e.g. Eruption I) and gold are needed. To upgrade a card to level 2, the first two upgrade cards for the card (e.g. Eruption I and Eruption II) and gold are needed. Likewise, to upgrade a card to level 3, all three upgrade cards for the card (e.g. Eruption I, Eruption II and Eruption III) and gold are needed. If you have the necessary upgrades, the upgrade card is shown in the window and the checkbox by the upgrade will light up. Clicking the checkbox will update the preview card below the original as well as show the gold Upgrade Cost at the bottom of the window. Clicking combine will perform the upgrade if you have the requisite amount of gold. Once an upgrade is applied to a card, the card can no longer be traded (according to section 3.19 of the FAQ [1]).

Upgraded units are indicated by one, two or three ticks above the unit's healthbar.

= Charge upgrades Bearbeiten Charge upgrades allow the user to increase the number of charges for a card, thus allowing the player to cast the card more times within a match. Unlike regular upgrades, charge upgrades do not require a special upgrade card and require a duplicate of the card instead. Thus to perform the first charge upgrade, Upgrade I and a duplicate card are required. No additional gold is required, however the duplicate card is consumed.
