The transition to T12 status is tied directly to hero progression. The primary prerequisite for unlocking Exalted Troops is the activation of Gen 10 heroes. For seasoned veterans, this means the race to optimize hero lineups is more critical than ever, as your military strength is now gated behind these high-tier leaders.
On the technical side, players must dive back into the War Academy. Unlocking T12 units requires completing the Flame Tech research tree. This research path only becomes available after you have fully mastered the T11 Helios Troops. It’s a significant investment of time and resources that will define the late-game meta for months to come.
What materials do you need for T12?
Start hoarding your resources now. The upgrade process and tech research will heavily consume several key materials:
- Steel: The foundational resource for structural military upgrades.
- Refined Fire Crystal: Necessary for high-level tech advancements.
- Fire Crystal Shards: Essential for pushing beyond the Helios tier.
While the focus is on raw power, the developers are also looking at social flair. A recent community poll gauged interest in new in-game stickers featuring Mr. Bear and Alina, suggesting more ways to customize your communication while you dominate the tundra. If you're planning to stay competitive, the window between now and April 27 is your time to grind the necessary Fire Crystals and prepare your War Academy for the Flame Tech shift.
