Verdict: Early-game progression only — epic heroes carry early progression but fall off hard once legendaries arrive.

Upgrade Strategy
Amane sits in D Tier — founding roster: early-game progression only — do not spend current-era shards here. Epic heroes carry early progression but fall off hard once legendaries arrive — keep them functional, never prioritize them.
- Star priority: unlock at 10 shards, then push stars while each tier still costs under ~100 shards; slow down at 4★–5★ and keep this hero matched to your current-era roster.
- Skill order: level the damage skill first, then the survival skill — check the upgrade tables above and feed whichever skill scales hardest per level.
- Class fit: Archers deal sustained ranged damage but fold under cavalry pressure — watch troop matchups before blaming the hero.
- Stop signal: Do not invest current-era shards here at all. Use the hero only if you have spare shards lying around.
Fully starring any hero takes 1,065 shards (+10 to unlock). That is months of event income — spend it where the tier list says it compounds, not on older-generation carries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Amane worth investing in Kingshot?
Amane is early-game progression only in the current Gen 7 era (D Tier — founding roster). Match your spending to your kingdom's generation — younger kingdoms get more mileage from older generations.
How many shards does it take to max Amane?
1,065 shards across all five star levels, plus 10 shards to unlock. The 5★ jump alone costs 600 — over half the total.
How do you get Amane shards?
Unlock/sources: Hero Recruitment, Oasis & Beyond Event. Shards also come from Intel Missions, Conquest stages, Hero Hall, VIP Shop, recruitment, events and packs — matching the Epic shard rarity.
