How to use the Top Heroes Planner

A short guide to each tool, plus the numbers players ask about most.

1. Castle Tower

Each floor of the 3D tower is one castle level from 10 to 80. Floor height follows the Timber cost of that level, so you can see how sharply costs rise once you pass level 40 and enter the Brilliance tiers.

Set Current level to your castle level today.
Set Target level to where you want to be. Resources fly from the piles around the tower and build the floors you still need, and every Brilliance milestone (45, 50, 55 …) is marked by a lightning strike.
Read the Cost to reach target panel. Timber and Stone always cost the same amount each.
Under Brilliance buildings, tick the other buildings you will raise to the same tier (Barracks, Hospital, Training Ground, Guild…). Their Dragon Essence is added to the total.

Castle cost per Brilliance tier

Tier	Castle levels	Timber (and Stone)	Rubies	Dragon Essence
B1	40 → 45	531.8M	91.2M	630
B2	45 → 50	913.0M	156.7M	755
B3	50 → 55	1.20B	205.0M	1.1K
B4	55 → 60	580.0M	199.5M	1.5K
B5	60 → 65	665.0M	228.0M	1.9K
B6	65 → 70	1.05B	358.2M	2.4K
B7	70 → 75	1.11B	383.0M	2.9K
B8	75 → 80	1.34B	459.5M	3.5K

Castle only; other buildings need their own Dragon Essence. The "Tool Improvement I" research lowers Timber and Stone by about 5%.

2. Upgrade Calculator

Hero level (Meat)

Enter a From and To level. The chart shows Meat per level from 1 to 340 and shades your range. Costs climb steeply after level 200: levels 1→100 cost 371.7K Meat in total, 100→200 cost 21.8M, and 200→300 cost 255.3M.

Hero stars

Pick Legendary or Mythic, tap a star to set your target and press Star up to watch the shards fill each star. A full 15 stars costs 500 Legendary or 1000 Mythic shards.

Awakening and skills

Awakening from scratch to Tier 3 Lv 5 takes 345 hero shards and 9 Soul Stones. A skill from level 1 to 15 takes 24.7K Skill Books.

3. Spending Reality

Every US$1 spent gives 6 VIP points. Slide the amount, then open the chest to reveal the VIP level it reaches. The page also converts the amount into everyday items and into event currencies using the shop rates players have recorded.

VIP milestones: VIP 5 ≈ $83 · VIP 10 ≈ $5,000 · VIP 15 ≈ $33,300 · VIP 20 ≈ $500,000.

4. Event Planner

Kingdom Duel (KvK), Guild Arms Race and Top Lord each score items differently on each day. Using an item on the wrong day can cost you most of its points; a Soul Stone is worth 120,000 points on Call of the Hero day and nothing on most other days.

Choose the event at the top.
Enter your stockpile. Speed-ups are entered in hours.
Drag each item onto a day (or tap the item, then the day). While you hold an item, every day shows what it would score and the best day is outlined in gold.
Press Auto-place best to send everything to its best day at once. The score shows how close you are to the best possible total.

Shards, troop skins and pets score by rarity: Relic Shards 200 / 1,000 / 5,000 (Rare / Epic / Legendary), Hero Shards 1,000 / 4,000 / 4,000 (Epic / Legendary / Mythic), Troop Skins 12,000 / 30,000 / 300,000, Pets 6,000 / 36,000 (Uncommon / Rare).

Where the numbers come from

All values come from the community "Top Heroes Tables" spreadsheet maintained by mazdie25 with data from Nomlette, Jordy, Mixtape, Barad, Plus#9140, Xenogenersis and others. Numbers can differ between servers and change with game updates. Your inputs are saved only in your own browser.
