The following is the help section entry for the upcoming Sacrifice feature. We wanted to share this with you ahead of time so everyone can get a sneak peak for this long-awaited feature.

While we don't have exact dates for the feature release yet, our hope is that this will go live soon!



Overview

Sacrifice allows you to take a group of characters and consume them for their essence to gain randomized rewards based on how strong/rare those characters are. All kinds of rewards are available, from Ironite to Sands of Time to Skill Shards to even Legendary Souls!

However, it’s important to understand that while you earn amazing rewards from sacrificing powerful characters, sacrificed characters are permanently removed from your roster.

Earning Better Rewards

The kinds of rewards you earn are based on what sacrifice tier your sacrifice is worth, which ranges from a Petty Sacrifice (100 or more essence) to an Ultimate Sacrifice (50,000 or more essence). Each tier has its own rewards, with higher tiers providing better loot. Higher sacrifice tiers result in better rewards more often, as well as increased quantities of items.

All characters can be sacrificed for their essence, but some characters are worth more essence than others. All of the following factors lead to a character having a higher essence:

  • Sacrificing higher star tier characters
  • Sacrificing characters which are a higher “natural” star tier
  • Sacrificing higher level characters
  • Sacrificing Eddies
  • Sacrificing Gunner or Assassin characters
  • Sacrificing characters improved with Skill Shards


Additionally, the more filled the sacrifice meter is, the better chance you have of getting more rewards for your current sacrifice tier! Adding additional characters is always valuable, even if you don’t earn enough essence to get to a subsequent sacrifice tier.

Filling the Vortex Meter

All sacrifices will add their essence to your long term Vortex meter, represented by the purple inner circle around the sacrifice pool. Even the smallest sacrifice will add to it, so characters that have no use to you from souls of any kind will still work towards the ultimate prize: the Vortex Bonus.

When you earn a Vortex Bonus, you will get 5 prizes drawn from the possible rewards for a Vortex, which are Rare Gun/Assassin Souls, Skill Shards, and Legendary Souls!

Successive Vortex Bonuses will be harder to achieve, but will cap out after a certain point for the amount of essence they require.
