The feature is not available yet.

That's great, thanks Sparton ! I'm excited for sacrifice and it's good to know that you guys have lots of stuff planned for the future. I'll probably keep some extra Eddies just in case. So like how many 2 star toons would it take to get to max tier sacrifice, 100 or more like a 1000 , or more?

You can only sacrifice 10 characters at a time, so you'll never be able to get to the highest sacrifice tiers with 2 stars. I haven't calculated the amount that you'd need to get the long term Vortex Bonus, but... it'll be a lot.

However, I do have one concern, and that is the part of higher star characters giving more essence than lower tier ones.

By the time sacrifice is open, it would be crucial for players to know how big of a difference would a 4* lvl 80 and a 5* lvl 100 dupe make with the sacrifice. An personal evaluation by players is much needed for this, as currently obtaining 6x 3* colored evo shard is really difficult with the current drop rate in LoL, even at level 10. I am currently aiming the achievement Earn 5 Star Characters IV and still lack several evo shards, but got a minimal amount of them (4-5) while grinding LoL whole day.

You'll be able to see how much a character's essence is when you select them in the sacrifice screen, so you'll be able to preview what your characters are worth before pulling the trigger and sacrificing anything.

Also, considering the drop rate of runes, we arrive at the point where: using 50 troopers take a massive amount of time; farming runes to level up talismans take again a massive amount of time; then we might consider leveling anything to 100 before sacrificing, which will again take lots of time (not even mentioning the SoT refill costs).

Getting characters to 5 star and level 100 will maximize their essence for sacrificing, but I think most people will agree that doing that for every fodder they want to sacrifice probably isn't worth it. That's a call that each individual needs to make for themselves.

I do hope though that sacrifice will come hand in hand with Brave New World, which (again I hope) will drop runes at a much higher rate than now any levels in Madness difficulty.

Brave New World will come after Sacrifice, but yes, Brave New World will be for runes as Lord of Light is for shards; a better source for the XP and Evo requirements than the cosmos worlds.
