Missions

Turning Dust into Heroes

A Mission spends Star Dust and brings back Hero Shards. Dust makes more Dust while it sits in the ground; Shards make your Heroes permanently stronger. That is the choice.

The cost is half of what you collected in the last 24 hours, so the harder you have been drilling, the bigger the Mission you can send, and the more Shards come home.

What Shards are for

Shards raise a Hero's Hero Level, and enough of them craft a Hero outright with no luck involved. That is the way out of bad Lootbox runs: 1,200 Shards will buy you a Legend even if the box never gives you one.
