Hero Exclusive Weapons

[PizzzaDaHut]

Hero exclusive weapons are another hero upgrade similar to how the Tier (Shards) upgrades work. Not all hero have exclusive weapons. Do not confuse exclusive weapons this with a piece of gear such as the cannon, turret, or railgun.

To unlock an exclusive weapon for a specific hero, you must have 5 exclusive weapon shards for that specific hero. The general shards are only usable AFTER the exclusive weapon is unlocked. Levels 1, 10, 20, and 30 have special skills that unlock once that level is obtained.

Level - Share Requirement
Level 1 - 50 hero specific shards (Unlocks weapon)
Level 2 to 4 - 20 shards for each level
Level 5 to 9 - 40 shards for each level
Level 10 to 14 - 60 shards for each level
Level 15 to 19 - 100 shards for each level
Level 20 to 24 - 150 shards for each level
Level 25 to 30 - 200 shards for each level

2880 EW shards to max at level 30.

There has been, what I'll call, over cap added. Once an EW is level 30, it can then accept over cap EW shards.
Attack - 10 shards per level with a cap of 50 levels
HP - unlocks after attack is at level 10, and is 10 shards per level with a cap of 50 levels
Defense - unlocks after HP is at level 10, and is 10 shards per level with a cap of 50 levels

This is a total of 1500 EW shards to max all levels over cap.
