Fortnite: How to Level Up Your Heroes

This article breaks down how to evolve your heroes in Fortnite.

Each hero in Fortnite has the ability to evolve and the rarity of a hero will dictate how many times that character can be evolved. Each evolution is represented by the number of stars a hero has.

Hero Rarity	# of Evolutions
Uncommon	3
Rare	4
Epic	5
Legendary	5
Mythic	5

Epic, Legendary, and Mythic heroes evolve the same number of times but they’re starting power level (number next to the lightning icon) varies. The hero’s highest rarity level will have the highest starting power level at 20.

Presently, it appears that only one hero from each class is available in Mythic rarity. These heroes include Master Grenadier Ramirez, MEGABASE Kyle, Swordmaster Ken, and Phase Scout Jess.

Evolving a hero will increase their stats significantly and give them access to new abilities, perks, and bonuses. Some might also change in appearance.

To see what the requirements are to evolve a particular hero, head to the Armory and click on All Heroes.

Here you can get a clear picture of all the heroes you have and their stats, including rarity level, power level, and current evolution status.

• Select the hero you would like to evolve.
• Select Upgrade/Inspect.
• Select View Evolution.
• View the Requirements.

Each time you evolve, you’ll need to meet the Max Level and have a certain amount of Hero XP, Pure Drops of Rain and Training Manuals. There’s also some warning text that says Re quired nodes in the skill tree have not been purchased.

• You can see these nodes by accessing the Skills tab and opening up Skill Tree: Tier 1.
• Click to the right of the Skill Tree until you see it branch off into different directions.
• At the end of the branches to the left and right, you’ll see the number 2 inside of a star. These are evolution nodes.
• You must unlock the path to these by purchasing the nodes before you can evolve your hero.
• You can click on the evolution node to see what the requirements are.

EditWhere to Find Pure Drops of Rain and Training Manuals

You can obtain Pure Drops of Rain and Training Manuals as mission rewards, retiring Rare Survivors, and as a reward at certain levels in the Collection Book.

Make sure you don’t want to keep any of the characters or items you place in the Collection Book because you will no longer be able to use them.

Once you’ve fulfilled all the requirements, you should be able to evolve your hero. The requirements for evolution will change depending on the rarity of the hero and their current evolution so be sure to check the requirements before attempting.
