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.
