# What does locking a blessing do?
Community Knowledge Players describe a hero’s blessings as several slots.[2] [3] A reroll replaces the bonuses in the slots you have not locked, and a locked slot stays as it is. One reply, in a thread where players disagree about holding the same unique blessing twice (see below), says that once you lock a blessing at a lower rarity, the higher-rarity versions of it drop out of the list of things you can roll.[4] This page gives no odds.
Community Knowledge Locks make rolling more expensive. One player says that rolling for an extra stun chance with three locks in place is costly,[2] and another says that locking low-rarity blessings early ends up costing more of the lock stones (the items used to keep a slot in place) over time.[5] A third was debating dropping a lock because rerolling had become too expensive.[6]
| Term | What players mean |
|---|---|
| Dragon’s Blessing (blessings) | Random bonuses on a hero that you re-roll and lock slot by slot.[2] [1] |
| Lock | Keeping one chosen blessing in place while the others are re-rolled; players mention spending lock stones on it.[2] [7] |
| Unique blessing | A blessing that belongs to one hero. Replies say there are two per hero.[3] [8] |
| Mythic | The highest blessing rarity that players talk about; players also mention epic and legendary versions of the same blessings.[1] [9] |
| Lock stones | Players use different names (“Seal Stones”, “dragon stones”) and one is unsure what they are called, so check the name in your game.[5] [7] |
# Should I lock before I get the unique mythic blessings?
Community Knowledge Several replies say no. A player who had just got a new hero asked whether to wait for more shards or risk it, and a reply says not to lock until you have both mythic unique blessings and to focus on better mythics after that.[1] In another thread, one commenter says the unique mythics are much harder to roll than the generic stat mythics, and adds in a follow-up that there is no good reason to keep generic ones until you have the character-specific ones.[2] A reply in a third thread says to go for the two mythic character-specific blessings first and use the rest to complement your build.[10] Other players say the same in different words: one says to reroll everything until you get the mythic character-exclusive blessing,[11] and another passes on a tip they did not regret: go mythic or go home

Decision table
| Your situation | What replies say | Label |
|---|---|---|
| No unique mythic yet[1] | Do not lock; keep rolling for the unique mythics.[1] [12] [13] | Community Knowledge |
| One unique mythic[13] | Lock that one only until you roll the second.[13] [3] | Community Knowledge |
| Both unique mythics[5] | Lock them, then look for mythic damage or item haste in the other slots.[5] [14] | Community Knowledge |
| Few materials left[15] | Save up and spend them in the next blessing rush on the unique mythics; one player says it is not worth locking on anything else.[15] | Community Knowledge |
| A blessing for an effect your hero cannot produce[1] | Players say it is not worth keeping; for example, one says poison is not relevant on a mage and another that fighters get poison only through pets.[1] [16] | Community Knowledge |
Players disagree: keep what you have or roll now?
Community Knowledge The replies agree on the goal (the unique mythics first). They differ on what to do with blessings you already like while you wait.
| Keep them for now | Clear them and roll |
|---|---|
| Keep the current mythic ones until you have more shards, because otherwise you lose a good blessing for a low chance of a better one.[2] Giving up current blessings to go for unique mythics is a temporary drop in power, so be sure you can afford enough rerolls first.[12] The legendary ones are good enough for now; stockpile resources.[14] Do not try to reroll legendaries without a large stock, because you risk downgrading one.[9] | Ditch the stat blessings and roll for mythic on both unique ones.[2] Reroll everything until you get the unique mythics.[12] Do not lock anything until you hold a mythic unique, and settle on lower rarities for a while if you are waiting for more stones.[13] Remove them all so you can save stones for after you have the hero-specific ones.[9] |
Recommendation Both columns come from different players with different amounts of materials, so this page does not pick one. If you are unsure, the replies suggest checking how many rerolls you can afford before you give up a blessing that is working for you. Two replies warn that clearing your current blessings is a temporary drop in power,[12] [14] which matters if you are in the middle of a hard stage.
# Which locks do players keep?
Unique versus generic stat blessings
Community Knowledge The replies put the two unique mythics first and the generic stat blessings second. One commenter says the unique mythics are much harder to roll than the generic stat mythics, and adds in a follow-up that they are significantly better.[2] A reply in a different thread says to keep only the character-specific mythics so that you spend as few lock stones as possible until you have both, and that the other mythics are a bonus compared with them.[7] A reply to a player who already had one mythic unique says the legendary ones will need rerolling at some point to go for the hero’s other mythic unique, and that the dip in power is temporary.[14]
Players disagree: is a legendary unique enough?
| Legendary or better | Mythic only |
|---|---|
| One reply says to go for the hero’s unique blessings at legendary quality at least,[1] and another says to aim for legendary and mythic.[17] | Other replies say not to lock on anything other than mythic unique blessings,[15] and that the legendary ones will need rerolling later.[14] |
Recommendation The replies come from players at different stages with different amounts of materials, so this page does not pick a bar. If you hold a legendary unique and are unsure, compare the two columns with how many rerolls you can afford.
| Kind of blessing | What replies say |
|---|---|
| Damage and item haste | After the unique blessings, several replies point to mythic damage and item haste; one reply adds that you can be more specific for niche builds.[5] [18] [14] |
| Burn damage | Worth keeping if you actually run burn; one reply says burn matters if you run a burn weapon and that bonus sword damage is more versatile otherwise.[1] [19] [20] |
| Crit damage | A reply says crit needs equipment that can crit, so check your gear first.[20] |
| Block and armor | For a block-focused hero, replies mention block, burn and armor blessings; one reply says the hero’s unique block blessing already gives plenty and that block gain scales with base health.[19] |
| Poison | Replies say poison blessings are not worth keeping for heroes that cannot apply poison; one recalls that warriors had no poison weapon.[1] [16] [21] |
Recommendation Numbers in the posts (percentages, stone counts, roll counts) are single players’ claims, so this page gives none. Look at what your own hero and weapon produce before you lock a stat blessing.
Can you have the same unique blessing at two rarities?
| Reply | What it says |
|---|---|
| First reply | Yes, and you can also get repeats of the same rarity.[4] |
| Second reply | No. You can only have one of each unique, so keep resetting for them at mythic rarity; if you hold one at epic, it will not appear at legendary or mythic.[4] |
| Player’s follow-up | The player says the blessing still showed on the list although they held it at epic; a reply says that is because it was not locked yet, and that locking removes the higher rarity from the list.[4] |
| Other threads | A player hoarding blessings says they cannot get more of a unique because they hold its epic and legendary versions.[9] |
Recommendation The first reply conflicts with the others and this page does not decide between them. Check the list in your own game before you rely on either. Version-sensitive Blessing rules may have changed since these posts.
# Should I keep rerolling a hero I do not use much?
Community Knowledge One player says it is good to keep one hero per class as a “flat roller” with no locks to use up spare blessing materials, and suggests a spear or base warrior hero for that.[22] This is a single comment, so read it as one player’s habit and not as community agreement. A reply to a player who no longer wanted to take part in the blessing rush says to level up your blessings anyway and to concentrate on unlocking more classes and specialising.[16]
Community Knowledge One reply says a build can be good enough that it is not worth rerolling unless you plan to main that hero in PvE content (player-versus-environment).[8]
Recommendation If you only plan to play one or two heroes, putting your materials into their unique mythics follows the advice above. The threads do not say how to split materials across many heroes, and this page does not guess.
# What can we not confirm yet?
| Question | Why it is open |
|---|---|
| Can the same unique blessing be held at two rarities? | Replies disagree; see the table above.[4] |
| How many rolls or lock stones does a full set take? | Players give very different amounts and describe different heroes and event periods, so this page gives none.[12] [1] [13] |
| Is there a published list of blessings for each hero? | One thread asks for a list; the archived thread shows no replies.[23] |
| Which generic blessings suit a hero whose unique ones fit a different build? | One thread asks this; the archived thread shows no replies.[24] |
| Is a legendary unique blessing enough to keep? | Replies set the bar at legendary or at mythic; see the table above.[1] [17] [15] |
# Frequently asked questions
These questions follow real threads from the community. Each answer is a short summary of what players said.
Should I reroll for mythic traits or wait?
Community Knowledge In the thread that asks this, one reply says not to lock until you have both mythic unique blessings, and another says to unlock everything and roll for the unique mythic.[1] A third reply in the same thread suggests leaving the blessings locked and saving materials before rerolling.[1] The replies do not agree, so the answer depends on how many materials you have.
Which locks should I keep?
Community Knowledge The replies in that thread differ. One says to ditch the stat blessings and roll for mythic on both unique passives, and another says to keep the three current mythic ones until you have more shards.[2] Another thread says to keep only the character-specific mythics.[7]
Should I remove one of the locks?
Community Knowledge A player who had saved materials for a hero asked this and was told by one reply to keep them for a while and roll for the mythic versions later;[6] another reply suggests dropping the burn and crit blessings and rolling for item haste or spike damage instead.[6] In another thread, replies range from removing all the locks to rerolling only the epic one.[9]
What blessings should I keep?
Community Knowledge Replies say to go for the two unique blessings in mythic first and reroll everything until you have them, but to save your rerolls until you can afford enough of them.[12]
