Battle Arena: Rune Upgrade Costs

*NEW* Rune Cost Calculater by Brave

TL;DR: Don't equip runes until they are max level — removal is expensive. Don't bother equipping every hero. Runes increase stats by a percentage, so don't waste good runes on low-stat heroes. Match runes to a hero's highest base stats for maximum value.
Use the calculator above to check the required resources.

Description

This guide provides a complete overview of the resources required to upgrade runes in Battle Arena. Upgrading runes is a crucial part of increasing your power, but it requires a significant investment in two primary resources: Gold Coins and Sparks.

Here you will find a series of tables designed to help you plan your resource management effectively. The data is presented in several ways:

  • A high-level summary of the total cost to max out each rune color.
  • A detailed, cumulative breakdown for each rune color.
  • Incremental cost tables showing the cost for each 20-level milestone.

Spark Point System and Optimal Combinations

Upgrading runes requires a specific number of "points" per level, which can be supplied by different types of Sparks. Using a high-value spark on a low-requirement upgrade results in wasted points. This section outlines the point values for each spark and provides the most efficient combinations to use for each upgrade tier.

Spark Point Values

Spark Type Point Value
White Spark 1
Green Spark 2
Blue Spark 4
Purple Spark 8
Orange Spark 16
Red Spark 32
Rainbow Spark 64

Required Points Per Level Upgrade

Level Range Points Required Per Level
0-20 2
20-40 4
40-60 8
60-80 16
80-100 32
100-120 64

Optimal Spark Combinations Per Level

Here are several example combinations of Sparks to use for a single level upgrade within each range. The main goal of these examples is to show how you can meet the required point total exactly, which prevents wasting points from a more valuable spark.
However, you are not limited to these combinations. Feel free to use any mix of sparks you have available. Since higher-value sparks are often rare, it's perfectly valid to use a larger number of common sparks. For example, any 8-point upgrade can always be completed with 8 White Sparks.
