When acquired, a champion starts as a 1 Star 1-Star. Three of the same 1 Star 1-Star champion can be combined to create a stronger 2 Star 2-Star champion. Three of the same 2 Star 2-Star champions can be combined to create an even stronger 3 Star 3-Star champion.

Champions combine automatically when you have three of the same and all copies are not in combat. The combined champion will automatically appear on your battlefield if one of the original champions is already deployed.

Increasing a champion's Star-level increases their Champions killed with Comeuppance (R)maximum health and Champions hit with Bandage Toss (Q) at greater than 75% of max rangeattack damage by a percentage of their 1 Star 1-star version. Their ability also becomes stronger.
