The following Hero Skills and Battle Badges have been changed to accommodate the new Emerald Rank Feature. Most of these changes are targeted at making sure that Level Scaling stats granted by Skills are given at effective rates post Emerald Rank. These changes, coupled with other sources of the corresponding stat on the Hero, will ensure that they start combat with max effectiveness of their relative stat. We’re also buffing a couple Skills that reduce Level Scaling Stats to bring them more inline with their counterparts that grant Level Scaling Stats.
Most of these changes will only take effect once the corresponding Skill is leveled to effective level 386. This will happen at different level breakpoints depending on the type of Skill. After the breakpoint, the skill will continue to scale as normal.
- The Level breakpoints are as follows:
- Purple Skills change when moving from Level 345 to 346
- Memory Disks change when moving from Level 345 to 346
- Red Skills change when moving from Level 265 to 266

The Emerald Rank feature is also coming with a very exciting overhaul to the Hero Detailed Stats screen! We wanted to make this screen easier to read while also keeping it informative. With Emerald changing the landscape of Level Scaling Stats in the game, this screen should be the go to spot to help you create your Subclasses.
The most notable change here is that all the stats are now displayed as totals on the screen.
If you want to see where stats are coming from you can tap on the ‘i’ button for a particular stat to get the whole breakdown.
Another big improvement is that this screen now shows you the effectiveness rates of your Hero’s Level Scaling Stats. There are two values displayed here since Ambition is only taken into account during battle between two Emerald Heroes.
- The first value shows your Hero’s effectiveness against Heroes below Emerald Rank
- While the second value shows your Hero’s effectiveness against other Heroes that are Emerald Rank of higher
