I currently have 860 blue flame coins, I could get 86 weapon shards, 57 relic shards, or 286 scroll seals. 10,000 magic core is also an option I guess.

the game values relic shards highly, based off of shops like the guild honor store, 1 relic shard costs 800 guild honor, while 1 weapon shard costs 400

Exclusive gear stats seem OP, they are only for one hero though, aside from the level 15 activation, I could get my princes weapon from +14 to +15 with 80 weapon shards

Hero attack 3295 > 3720

Hero HP 82,395 > 92,960

Hero attack 54.90% > 62%

Hero HP 109.90% > 123.90%

Level 15 - At the beginning of the battle, boost all your horde heroes' Attack by 10%

Scroll seals - at my current 2 star yellow 1/5 3 star Horde - Silvermoon Commander behemoth, I could feed him 72 behemoth scrolls which would increase all hero attack +1.8% all hero HP +5.4% 286 scrolls could get me about 4 levels then? not quite because each level up the scroll amount increases, but about 4x, so 7.2% hero attack / 21.6% hero hp

^ okay this seems bad actually, but maybe that's just because its compared to a +15 weapon activation that gives + 10% attack, also this is all hero all faction wide.

went ahead and checked purple crystals, horde silvermoon commander from level 82 to 83

Horde Hero Attack - 46.1k > 46.7k 6,000 attack after 10 levels 12,000 after 20

Horde Hero HP - 280k > 283k 30,000 health after 10 levels 60,000 after 20

Horde Hero level Cap - 4 > 4

Deploy bonus:

Horde Hero attack - 123% > 124.50% 15% horde hero attack after 10 levels 30% after 20

Horde hero HP - 369.00% > 373.50% 45% horde hero health after 10 levels 90% after 20

Horde hero Damage reduction - 7.00% > 7.00% I don't know after 10 levels.

10,000 purple crystals could allow me to progress 20 levels.

WOW. I did not even have purple crystals on my mind, but they seem to be the biggest thing here for progress. while behemoth scrolls are only useful for increasing the behemoth level cap.

I don't know what to calculate on relics or relic shards, relics do not seem to compare to the other options even though the game prices or values them higher.

Conclusion: I believe I will be buying the weapon shards, + 15 is huge, I don't know if i will prioritize them during +16 +17 +18 +19 weapon, but I do want to reach +20 weapon.

aside from weapon shards I would look to obtain Magic cores, although I currently have 14,000 of them, but there are 6 behemoths, 2 for horde. hmm

and then I would look towards scrolls when I reach max behemoth level capacity, but if I am looking at scrolls I would probably just prioritize weapon shards. hmm 🤔 but then again the +16 +17 +18 +19 might be worse than behemoth scrolls, its really the +15 adding a whole +10% attack to 6 heroes that makes it so nice.

thoughts? are the relic shards ever worth it? i do buy them every time, along with the weapon shards, from the guild honor shop, and avoid the hero shards, but I can't see buying them OVER weapon shards, would they even be worth it if they cost the same amount as the weapon shards? it doesn't seem like it honestly. hmm
