What happens when I receive a hero that I already have?
You can own each hero only once.
If you receive the same hero again, the duplicate will be converted into either Essence or Chrono Crystals.

AwakeningYour first hero duplicates will automatically be converted into Essence, a special token used to awaken heroes.
Use Essence in the hero Awakening tab to further enhance that hero’s power, up to Awakening V (A5).
Depending on the hero’s rarity, higher Awakening levels may require multiple tokens.
Chrono CrystalsOnce a hero is fully awakened, any further duplicates will be converted into Chrono Crystals instead.
Chrono Crystals can be spent in the Chrono Shop, which you can access from the Portal screen or by tapping the Harbor building in your main city.

The rarer the hero, the more Chrono Crystals you receive.
