Empowering your heroes in Epic Seven is a vital part of progressing through the game’s various modes, including Adventure, Abyss, Hunts, PvP, and special events. Understanding each growth system not only helps you maximize the strength of your favorite characters but also ensures that your resource investment is efficient and impactful. This guide covers all major empowerment systems in the game and explains how each contributes to your heroes’ overall performance.

Hero Levelling and Promotion

One of the most basic yet essential systems is hero leveling. Heroes gain experience through battles or by consuming penguins, which are special EXP-boosting creatures. As heroes level up, their base stats increase, improving their effectiveness in combat. However, each hero has a level cap determined by their star grade. For example, 3-star heroes cap at level 30, while 6-star heroes reach up to level 60.

Promotion is the process of increasing a hero’s star level. This not only raises the maximum level cap but also grants significant stat boosts. Promotion requires sacrificing other heroes or penguins of the same star level. After promotion, the hero resets to level 1 but with higher growth potential. Promoting to 6 stars should be a long-term goal, as it unlocks the full potential of your units.

Awakening

Awakening enhances a hero’s base attributes and unlocks additional effects or skill upgrades. Each hero can be awakened up to six stages. Early awakenings improve base stats like health, attack, and defense, while higher levels may unlock new passive effects or boost the effectiveness of active skills. The awakening process requires elemental runes, which are acquired through Spirit Altar battles. Greater and epic runes are necessary for the final stages of awakening. Awakening should be prioritized for heroes you use frequently, as the stat boosts and skill enhancements provide substantial power increases.

Skill Enhancement

Skill enhancement allows you to improve a hero’s abilities by increasing their damage, success rate, or reducing cooldowns. This system uses a rare material called Molagora, which comes in several forms depending on the rarity of the hero. Common sources of Molagora include events, side stories, the Guild Shop, and Hall of Trials.

When enhancing skills, it’s important to prioritize the heroes you plan to use long-term. For damage dealers, start with their highest-damage skill. For support heroes, focus on skills that offer healing, buffs, or debuffs. Molagora is limited, so investing it wisely ensures better returns.

Specialty Change

Exclusive to 3-star heroes, the Specialty Change system transforms a basic unit into a stronger version with enhanced skills and improved stats. Completing this process involves meeting level and awakening requirements, followed by a series of missions that test the hero’s performance in different scenarios.

Upon completing all tasks, the hero undergoes a visual transformation and gains a new passive skill. Notable Specialty Change heroes like Angelic Montmorancy and Researcher Carrot become powerful additions to any team and can rival even 5-star units in specific roles.

Memory Imprint

Memory Imprint is a system that allows you to gain additional stat bonuses by using duplicate copies of a hero. These bonuses can affect either the individual hero or the entire team, depending on how the imprint is applied. The imprint system includes multiple tiers, with higher levels offering greater stat boosts. You can also choose between focusing the imprint on enhancing one specific hero or spreading the benefit across your team. This flexibility makes it an essential part of team optimization, especially in PvP.

Equipment and Artifacts

Gear is one of the most important factors in a hero’s performance. Each piece of gear includes a main stat and up to four substats. Set bonuses activate when a hero equips multiple pieces of the same type, such as Speed or Lifesteal sets. Artifacts are equippable items that provide passive effects tailored to a hero’s class and role. These effects can be game-changing, such as increasing damage, boosting healing, or applying debuffs.

Enhancing gear and artifacts increases its stat values and can significantly boost a hero’s power. High-level gear can also be reforged to improve base stats further. Efficient gear farming, especially in Wyvern Hunts, is crucial for long-term success. Tailor your gear to match your hero’s role—for example, prioritize speed and effectiveness for supports, and crit damage and attack for DPS units.
