Quick Action Plan
- 1
Set your Wishlist before pulling anything
9 slots: 3 Rare / 3 Epic / 3 Legendary. Wishlist champions get 2× odds on their soul appearing. Pick your PvP priority Legendaries for the Legendary slots.
- 2
Use all 70 Mortal Soulstones during the current Awakening Boost
The boost doubles 5★ and 6★ odds. This window (~3 days) is the best time — next one is ~4 weeks away. You'll also earn 1,400 Immortal Soul Coins as a bonus.
- 3
Spend the 1,400 Immortal Coins on 1 Immortal Soulstone
1,000 coins = 1 Immortal Soulstone. Hold the remaining 400 toward your next one. Don't buy Essence unless a specific 6★ soul appears for a target champion.
- 4
Check the Soul Merchant 4× daily
Buy 6★ souls only, for champions on your awakening priority list. Skip 5★ — they're given out in tournaments regularly.

Never time soul activities around CvC
Awakening gives zero CvC points. Save books, Great Hall medals, and 6-star food for CvC windows instead.
The Three Currencies
How the tiers connect
Using 10 Mortal Soulstones gives +200 Immortal Soul Coins as a pity bonus on top of your summons. Using 10 Immortal Soulstones gives +300 Eternal Soul Coins. You get souls AND the coin bonus — they aren’t mutually exclusive.
| Currency | How Earned | Best Spend |
|---|---|---|
| Mortal Soul Coins | Iron Twins, soul sales, pity | Mortal Soulstones (1,000 each) |
| Immortal Soul Coins | Mortal stone pity, Iron Twins | Immortal Soulstones (1,000 each) |
| Eternal Soul Coins | Immortal stone pity, Iron Twins | Eternal Soulstones (1,000 each) |
Never buy 1★–4★ souls from the Soul Merchant
They’re a terrible coin/essence sink. The merchant is only worth using for 6★ souls of champions you plan to fully awaken.
Soulstone Odds

| ★★★ 3-star | 12% | — | |
| ★★★★ 4-star | 4% | — | |
| ★★★★★ 5-star | 1.5% | 3.0% | |

Eternal Soulstone
| Rank | Normal |
|---|---|
| ★★★★★ 5-star | 75% |
| ★★★★★★ 6-star | 25% |
Efficiency note
1 Immortal Soulstone ≈ 16 Mortal Soulstones in value. Eternal Soulstones have the best base odds of any stone. Prioritise converting up the chain.
Should You Use Your 70 Mortal Soulstones Now?
Yes — use them during the Awakening Boost
The boost doubles 5★ and 6★ odds. Events run ~monthly for 3 days. There’s no benefit to saving Mortal Soulstones — they generate Immortal coins as a bonus when you use them, and they earn zero CvC points regardless.
| Scenario | Expected 6★ | Expected 5★ | Immortal Coins bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70 stones — normal | ~0.5 | ~1.0 | 1,400 |
| 70 stones — Awakening Boost | ~1.0 | ~2.1 | 1,400 |
CvC — Awakening Has Zero Connection
Officially confirmed by Plarium moderators: “No CvC points from Awakening in any way at this time.”
| Activity | Gives CvC Points? |
|---|---|
| Soul Summons (any soulstone) | ✗ No |
| Awakening a champion | ✗ No |
| Soul Merchant purchases | ✗ No |
| Iron Twins (farming soul coins) | ✗ No |
Don't hold awakening resources for CvC
There is no strategic reason to sync any soul/awakening activity with CvC. Use soulstones when boost events run; use CvC resources during CvC windows.
What Actually Gives CvC Points
See the dedicated CvC guide for the full point values table and everything you should save for the window — books, Great Hall upgrades, champion and gear ascensions, forge, and 6-star pushes.
Who to Awaken First
Invest in PvP champions first (Arena, Siege, Hydra, Chimera), then speed leads (Arbiter etc.), then Void Legendaries, then Faction Unity champions.
Best Blessings at 6★
Polymorph
Becomes irresistible at 6★ — bypasses accuracy requirements entirely.
Crushing Rend
Expands from first 2 attacks to every attack at 6★. Transforms Hydra and Chimera performance.
Intimidating Presence
Essential for high-end competitive Arena. Scales dramatically at 6★.
Ward of the Fallen
Gains extra damage effects and stack replenishment at 6★.
⚠ Incinerate (at 6★)
At 6★ it adds enemy TM reduction, which triggers Marius the Gallant's counterattack passive. Leave it at 5★ for arena. Do not 6★ this blessing.
⚠ Temporal Chains (at 6★)
Same problem — 6★ adds TM reduction that triggers Marius the Gallant's counter on the enemy. Avoid.
