Introduction[]
This page is meant to be a condensed version of any discussions we will have on how to best use fortify. What is fortify? It is sacrificing heroes to give XP to another hero.
There is a discussion thread on the forum where everyone can enter their input and discuss fortification:

Strategies on Fortification[]
Using Common[]
I[who?] would like to thank Tuğrul Öztaş for providing the information for the Common and Uncommon heroes. This might be a useful strategy when you get the common heroes from Bronze summoning. It becomes harder to find and capture Common heroes later in the game.
| Heroes sacrificing | XP | XP/ember |
|---|---|---|
| 2 2-star heroes | 208 | 1.08 xp/ember |
| 2 1-star heroes | 108 | 0.54 xp/ember |
Using Uncommon[]
This might be a useful strategy when you get the common heroes from Bronze summoning. It becomes harder to find and capture Common heroes later in the game.
| Heroes sacrificing | XP | XP/ember |
|---|---|---|
| 2 2-star heroes | 416 | 0.832 xp/ember |
| 2 1-star heroes | 316 | 0.632 xp/ember |
Using Rares[]
Using rare heroes has worked well for me as they provide a good amount of XP per ember spent and are easy to capture.
(I tested the value for 2 1 star heros and it was 612 so I changed that one. Based on that fact I am betting that the rest of these xp stats are wrong so keep that in mind when looking at this post).
All heroes are at level 1.
| Heroes sacrificing | XP | XP /ember |
|---|---|---|
| 2 4-star rare heroes | 828 | 0.828 xp/ember |
| 2 3-star rare heroes | 728 | 0.728 xp/ember |
| 2 2-star rare heroes | 628 | 0.628 xp/ember |
| 2 1-star rare heroes | 612 | 0.612 xp/ember |
As you can see from the table it is best to use 4-star rare heroes. I do not suggest evolving your rare heroes to 4-stars, it is better to capture 4-star rare heroes. Capturing Rare heroes is not too hard as they have a starting chance of 20% and if you are dedicated to this.
Using Epics[]
I would not recommend using Epics as their return of XP per ember is worse than Rare heroes and the low capture rate of 10% makes it even more difficult to capture a lot of them.
The values for 4 star and 3 star epic hero's xp was wrong so I changed them and the corresponding xp/ember figure. I did not have any 2 star or 1 star epics so it is very likely that those rates are wrong as well.
All heroes are at level 1.
| Heroes sacrificing | XP | XP /ember |
|---|---|---|
| 2 4-star epic heroes | 1358 | 0.679 xp/ember |
| 2 3-star epic heroes | 1258 | 0.629 xp/ember |
| 2 2-star epic heroes | 1040 | 0.628 xp/ember |
| 2 1-star epic heroes | 940 | 0.528 xp/ember |
Locations to capture Rares for Fortify[]
These are the locations that are currently good to run multiple times to get Rares for Fortify:
- Mission: Facing Naema, Map: The Bitter End - decent mobs while trying to capture Naema.
- Mission: Winter Kingdom, Map: A Princess of Ice - also quite a few while you're attempting Freydis Garddottir.
