Hero Shard Calculator
Calculate shard costs using the actual star-plus-tier progression. You can compare two exact states or see how far your current shard budget can take you.

Calculator guide
Quick context before you use the result
Use the hero shard calculator to estimate star-up costs before you spend rare shards on the wrong hero or stop one upgrade short of a target breakpoint.
The public calculator focuses on clear shard math and a visible reference table so you can sanity-check your next move without extra setup.
Can I check both needed shards and reachable stars?
Yes. Switch modes to either calculate the shards needed for a target star or see the highest star your existing shard budget can reach.
Why is the shard table shown on the page?
The table gives you a quick trust layer by exposing the per-step shard values used by the calculator, so the result is easier to verify.
