Hero Swap Event Guide 2026

From April 7th until May 5th, you will be able to swap two heroes.

During the event, you can choose two heroes and swap their levels, Signature Items, Mythic Furnitures, Eternal Engravings, and T3/T4 gears. Non-T3/T4 gear worn by heroes and non-Mythic Tier furniture will not be swapped.

You must have at least one copy of a hero to swap it. You can swap any non-Dimensional and non-Draconis hero except Awakened Pippa, Icariel, and Harvey. Highborn Gwyneth, Skylan, Lan, Haelia, and Leviathan are the only Draconis heroes available in the event.

After swapping, all heroes to be replaced in your bag will be swapped with the target heroes.

You must clear Stage 19-40 to participate. If you have not swapped any heroes during the event, you will instead receive 10,000 diamonds after the event ends.

If you want to understand the best way to use the Hero Swap, take a look at the guide below.

Tier 1: Highborn hero

Higborn Heroes are the hardest heroes to ascend, so being able to swap highborn heroes is very valuable. However, only 5 Highborn heroes are available on this event.

Gwyneth is the weakest highborn, so you should swap her for Lan, Leviathan, or Skylan.

Haelia is good, but not as useful as the other three Draconis mentioned above. So it is also worth it to swap her.

Tier 2: Awakened Hero

Awakened Heroes are also hard to ascend, so being able to swap awakened heroes is very valuable.

Awakened Ezizh is the weakest awakened hero and he can do his job pretty well even at Legendary ascension. Awakened Talene is the second weakest awakened hero and she can also work fine at Legendary ascension. So if you have invested on any of them, it is a good idea to swap Awakened Ezizh or Awakened Talene with another awakened hero.

Eugene is one of the best awakened options to be swapped out for better heroes because he can be ascended via Guild Store.

Awakened Brutus and Awakened Thane are very outdated awakened heroes, so they’re also great options. Awakened Baden, Awakened Antandra, and Awakened Solise are still useful heroes for faction tower, but could be considered for swapping out for better heroes.

The best awakened heroes in the current meta are Awakened Shemira, Awakened Estrilda, and Envydiel. Awakened Fawkes, Awakened Athalia, and Awakened Thoran are also great. Awakened Skriath, Gavus, and Zohra are solid options as well. Maetria, Awakened Lyca, Awakened Lucius, Awakened Eironn, and Awakened Safiya are falling off from the meta, but they can be useful.

Tier 3: Celestial/Hypogean Hero

The second most valuable way to use your Hero Swap is to use it to swap two Celepogean heroes.

Wu Kong is the weakest Celestial hero and the easiest Celestial hero to ascend. Swapping an ascended Wu Kong with another celestial or hypogean hero is a great investment. Flora is also very easy to ascend compared to all other Celepogeans, so swapping her can be a good idea if you do not have an ascended Wu Kong.

Zikis, Leofric, Titus, Mezoth, Vyloris, Athalia, Audrae, Zaphrael, Morael, and Framton are completely off-meta Celepogeans in the current meta. So if you have heavily invested in one of them, you should consider using them as your swap instead of Wu Kong or Flora.

The most valuable celepogeans to acquire are Knox, Aurelia, and Liberta, but Daemia, Lavatune, and Lysander are also very valuable heroes. To see the full Celepogean ascension priority, check Stargazing priorities page.

Tier 4: Overinvested 4-Faction Hero

If none of the above options are available to you, then you should consider swapping non-awakened heroes from the four basic factions (Lightbearer, Mauler, Wilder, Graveborn).

Oscar, Rigby, Walker, Khasos, Solise, Seirus, Ulmus, Shemira are the worst heroes in the game. Consider using them at this event if you have heavily invested in any of them.

Check the Hero Wishlist page to see a full priority list for each of the four regular factions. That will help you to decide which hero is worth it to swap.

Also, you should consider how much you’ve invested in each hero’s signature, furniture, and engraving when choosing which hero to use in the Swap Event. Sometimes it can be more advantageous to trade a mediocre hero with level 60 engraving and level 9 furniture instead of trading an ascended bad hero with 0 engraving and furniture, for example.

To help you decide which signatures, furnitures and engravings to swap, check out each faction investment guide: Lightbearer, Mauler, Wilder, Graveborn, Celestial, Hypogean.
