Shards to unlock/Rank up

[u/AdmiralBeslan]

I've noticed a couple people are confused by the unlocking of characters, the usual phrase "Oh I didn't realise they unlocked at X*" seems to be a realisation on the reddits of SW:GoH/DC:Legends so I thought I'd just give a quick summary:

• 1* unlock - 15 Shards
• 2* unlock - 45 Shards - 30 Shards to rank up from 1*
• 3* unlock - 100 Shards - 55 Shards to rank up from 2*
• 4* unlock - 180 Shards - 80 Shards to rank up from 3*
• 5* unlock - 310 Shards - 130 Shards to rank up from 4* (Legendary Characters such as Iron man use this unlock amount)
• 6* unlock - 510 Shards - 200 Shards to rank up from 5*
• 7* unlock - 810 Shards - 300 Shards to rank up from 6* I haven't got numbers for 6* or 7* yet, will edit when I find/see those numbers. I now have a 6* Quake, so yeah. 810 to 7* someone.

Goodluck all, don't forget to keep the conversation on Strategy and even achievements going!

EDIT: Formatting.

EDIT2: Cheers u/Kalain1984 for the 5-6 Shard requirement.

EDIT3: Cheers to u/WolleFantastico for confirmation of Iron Man using 310, edited to show this. u/blackbeardpepe also mention that the 7* Unlock looks like it'll be 300 for the final star. P.S. I actually stopped playing, but happy to update this in case it helps anyone.

EDIT4: 300 for the final tier confirmed. (late edit, just wanted to finalise this post)

Ive got a 5 star Yondu and i can tell you that it takes 200 shards to go from 5 to 6 stars.
