The decision
Exclusive weapons open in Season 1, on the gold heroes only. Get every weapon you own to 10 before anyone goes to 20. Do not pour generic shards past 30.
Order
- Every weapon to 10.
- Then the carrier to 20.
- One hero to 30 only after every weapon you use is at 20.
Do not spend generic shards past 30. Specific shards for that hero can go there. Generic shards wait until every hero you field is at 30.
Level 30 order, by squad
Air
- DVA
- Lucius
- Schuyler
- Morrison
- Carlie
Only after the squad is at 20. Carlie's 30 is the skip if a second squad still needs shards. A no-spend or low-spend account stays on one squad.
Missile
- Tesla or Fiona
- The other
- McGregor
- Swift
- Adam
Fiona's weapon is Season 5. If Tesla can reach 30 before then, do Tesla. Adam is already useful at 10.
Tank
- Kimberly
- Murphy or Stetmann
- The other
- Williams
- Marshall
Murphy's 30 is the survival pick if air is melting the squad. Stetmann's 30 is the stun pick; his weapon is Season 5. Williams adds 12% energy damage taken for 4 seconds. Marshall's 30 repeats the highest-attack ultimate.
Three mistakes
- Pushing one weapon to 20 while another is still at 1.
- Waiting on a Season 5 weapon and leaving the Season 1 carrier at 10.
- Pouring generic shards past 30.

The rules
One tank, one aircraft, and one missile weapon unlocks each season.
| Season | Tank | Aircraft | Missile |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kimberly | DVA | Tesla |
| 2 | Murphy | Carlie | Swift |
| 3 | Marshall | Schuyler | McGregor |
| 4 | Williams | Lucius | Adam |
| 5 | Stetmann | Morrison | Fiona |
Benchmarks are 1, 10, 20, and 30.
- Level 1 is the unlock and changes the auto attack. One estimate puts the season banner near $20 for the shards to reach level 1.
- Level 10 ties to the tactic skill.
- Level 20 is the same on every hero: +7.5% attack, defense, and HP for every hero of that type on the squad. Two heroes at 20 is 15%. A mixed squad does not get the bonus on the off-type seats.
- Level 30 is that hero's ultimate. DVA fires hers at the start. Lucius speeds allies when a shield breaks. Read the rest on the weapon screen.
