Order of investment
- One complete five-hero squad, ideally from the same faction (see the faction buffs guide).
- Bring that squad close to its level cap before touching bench heroes.
- Hero-specific shards: only on heroes you actually field.
- UR universal shards: keep them until your long-term team is chosen.
- Skills: prioritize the damage and survival skills you use, checking star requirements.
