Mythic Heroes Divinity Upgrades: Which Nodes Should You Unlock First?

If your tank dies before its first skill, a talent that only pays off late may do little for that fight. Choose the effect you need, trace its prerequisites, then price the complete route with the materials your hero can actually use.

Quick answer · Our advice

Start with an effect that can trigger in the fight you are trying to win. Trace the path back to your existing unlocks, total each material separately, and check whether an earlier node already addresses the problem.[1][2][3]

Publisher rules in 1.7.0 and the 1.32.002/1.32.004 Divinity expansion. Node text, hero availability and prices must come from your current hero screen.

Which parts of the Divinity Tree solve which problem?

The publisher’s Divinity guide describes Faith and Divinity Gems as upgrade inputs, with tree rewards that include stats, enhancement capacity and added skills. Its 1.7.0 notes also describe converting generic Faith into separate faction balances, so a generic total is not the same as a usable balance for a specific hero.[1][2]

Our advice

Look at the current skill wording and the fight that blocks you. For a survival problem, start with when the hero dies and what damage arrives first. For a damage problem, look at whether the hero can trigger the effect consistently. Displayed power alone cannot tell you either of those things.

Which parts of the Divinity Tree solve which problem? comparison
What fails in combat	Effect to compare first	What to verify
Tank dies before its first cast	An early shield or other immediate mitigation	Trigger happens before the lethal hit
Your carry survives but the enemy times out	A damage effect the carry can trigger in that fight	Check the trigger frequency and target restrictions
The intended node is unavailable	The path leading to it	Prerequisite, material type and eligibility in the current tree
Enhancement has reached its cap	A relevant cap increase if the hero offers one	Separate budget for the actual Enhancement after unlocking the cap

Worked example: a tank that dies before the payoff

Worked example · GachaLoot calculation

Compare a reachable defensive node with a late skill

Assumptions

In the example replay the tank dies at second 6. The first route leads to an opening defensive effect; the second has a skill that cannot trigger before second 10.
The opening route requires a 120-Faith prerequisite and a 220-Faith final node, with two eligible Gems in total. The later route costs 90 + 180 Faith and one Gem.
The hero has 360 usable faction Faith and two matching Gems. The costs and triggers are hypothetical.

Opening route cost120 + 220 = 340 Faith and two Gems
Balance after the opening route360 − 340 = 20 Faith and zero Gems
Later route cost90 + 180 = 270 Faith and one Gem
Earliest possible late trigger versus defeat10 − 6 = Four seconds too late in the observed run

Result: The opening route fits the budget and can affect the observed failure. Replay the stage after buying it and check whether the tank survives the hit. If it still dies, review the rest of the formation before committing to a second path.

Limits of this example: Opening effects can still be insufficient or conditional. This example does not establish a real node price, skill, stacking rule or guaranteed survival time.

Worked example: enough total Faith, short in the right faction

Worked example · GachaLoot calculation

One complete route versus a larger but unfinished route

Assumptions

A carry’s planned route costs 130 + 190 Guardian Faith and three matching Gems. An intermediate alternative costs 150 Guardian Faith and one matching Gem.
You have 260 Guardian Faith, 400 Faith from other factions and three matching Gems. No other input is required in this example, and no conversion is assumed.

Complete route requirement130 + 190 = 320 Guardian Faith
Usable Faith shortfall320 − 260 = 60 Guardian Faith
Balance after buying the intermediate alternative260 − 150 = 110 Guardian Faith and two Gems
New gap if the alternative is outside the original route320 − 110 = 210 Guardian Faith and one Gem

Result: If the alternative is a separate branch and does little for the fight, save the resources. If it is actually a prerequisite, move it into the main route and count its cost once. Verify which nodes connect before treating an intermediate purchase as progress.

Limits of this example: The example uses fixed faction balances. An unopened generic Faith item is not guaranteed to provide all 60 missing units to Guardian. Use the actual item and node descriptions.

Why a Divinity node can be locked even with materials

The 1.32.002 notes introduced an expansion from Divinity 18 to 30 and described expansion for groups of selected heroes. The 1.32.004 follow-up changed event achievements and documented separate advanced materials, including Inherited Divinity and Divinity Resonance Stones. An older tree screenshot cannot establish which expansion or prerequisite your hero currently has.[3][4]

Our advice

If the button stays locked, check prerequisites in order: the exact hero and tree, the preceding node or skill choice, then each listed currency. For an expanded route, inspect the named material instead of treating every Gem or stone as interchangeable.

If the goal is a higher Enhancement limit, budget the resources to use that limit too. If the effect is actually on an Iconic Weapon, price its weapon materials separately. Check the appropriate screen before buying an upgrade that only raises power.[1]

Mythic Heroes Divinity questions

Which Divinity upgrade should I buy first?

Our advice: Pick the cheapest reachable effect that addresses the failure you observed. Compare its activation timing and cost with the next route before committing scarce materials.[1][5]

Can another faction’s Faith cover a shortage?

The publisher documents separate faction balances. Count the balance the hero’s screen accepts and use the item tooltip for any conversion before assuming the shortfall is covered.[2]

Does unlocking an Enhancement cap immediately Enhance the hero?

A cap increase changes the available limit. Check the separate Enhancement screen for the materials and levels you still need.[1][3]

Sources and review scope

The publisher describes the material system and historical expansion. The player-authored Asura walkthrough provides early tree terminology. Its older node layout, limits and skill choices do not describe every expanded tree. The sample node names and prices below are deliberately illustrative, not quotations from a live hero.
