Hero Shards Table
Use the shard table to check the shard cost for each star upgrade band, compare tier costs, and understand how quickly shard demand scales as heroes approach higher stars.
| Star Upgrade |  Shards per Tier | Tiers | Total Shards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 star to 1 star | 5 | 5 | 25 |
| 1 star to 2 star | 10 | 5 | 50 |
| 2 star to 3 star | 20 | 5 | 100 |
| 3 star to 4 star | 60 | 5 | 300 |
| 4 star to 5 star | 100 | 5 | 500 |
Why this Hero Shards Calculator matters
Why shard planning matters before upgrades
A good hero shards calculator helps players avoid one of the easiest roster mistakes in Last War: committing shards to a star push without understanding the full cost of the target breakpoint. Shard spending feels manageable at lower stages, but once heroes begin moving through more expensive star ranges, the cost can pile up fast.
How to use the calculator in practice
Choose your current star and tier state, then choose the target star and target tier you want to reach. If the hero has been upgraded from SSR to UR, turn on the dedicated toggle so the correct shard table is used. The results will then show the shard cost for one hero and for the number of heroes you entered.
When this tool is most useful
This tool is most helpful when you are deciding whether to finish a star upgrade now or keep saving for a more meaningful jump later. It is also useful when you are comparing whether to push one core hero harder or spread shards across multiple heroes in the same lineup.
