There are + limits for each ☆. Once a + limit is reached, a hero must in order to further upgrade. 6☆ +12 is the maximum Upgrade/Evolution possible. Once reached, a hero can further grow via Prestige Marks and Awakening.

Evolve
Via Evostones. Evolving raises a Hero's ☆.

Each ☆ has an limit. Once the limit is reached, evostones are required to evolve to the next ☆. The amount of evostones required depends on the ☆ and rank of the hero. 6☆ is the maximum Evolution a hero can reach.

Prestige
Via Prestige Marks. Prestige Marks raise a hero's Lv.

Once a hero reaches 6☆ +12, the + is replaced with Lv. The amount of Prestige Marks required to Prestige increases the higher the Lv. Every 10 Lv, a hero will gain a Trait Point to specialize in specific stats the player chooses.

100Lv is the maximum Prestige possible. Raising a Hero to 100Lv costs 10,098 Prestige Marks.

Awakening
Via Awakening. Awakening replaces a Gold ☆ with a Pink ☆.

Once a hero reaches 6☆ +12, awakening is possible. A hero can awaken up to 6 times. To awaken, one must have the same 6☆ +12 unawakened Hero, or a Shiny of the same rank.
