One of the biggest questions players ask during the Hero Wars Lyria Event is: How many Picks do I need to reach the Totem in Chapter 7? After testing and carefully counting the requirements in every chapter, I’ve compiled all the data you need in one place.
This blog post breaks down the exact number of Buffs and Picks required per chapter, from Chapter 1 all the way to Chapter 7. Whether you’re planning your resource use or optimizing your path to the grand prize, this guide will help you make informed decisions every step of the way.
Let’s walk through it.
What Are Picks 
in Hero Wars Lyria Event?
Picks are a limited-time currency used in the Hero Wars Lyria Event’s Workshop to upgrade relics. You spend Picks to improve powerful items like the Star Ring, Legend’s Hat, and Honey Melody Player. These relics boost your stats, event progress, or reduce costs during the event. Picks are essential for unlocking higher Buff levels and earning better rewards as you progress through the event.
Understanding Buff and Pick Requirements
The first and second chapters of the Lyria Event are straightforward—they don’t require any Buffs to enter, which means no Picks are needed to unlock them. But starting from Chapter 3, each stage requires you to accumulate a certain number of Buffs, and these Buffs are obtained using Picks.
Here’s the progression:
- Chapter 3 requires you to reach 50 Buffs. This means you’ll need to spend 50 Picks.
- Chapter 4 increases the requirement to 100 Buffs, adding 110 Picks.
- Chapter 5 raises it to 150 Buffs, costing 160 Picks.
- Chapter 6 bumps it up to 200 Buffs, which will cost you 210 Picks.
- Chapter 7, the final stage where you can earn the Totem, requires 250 Buffs. To get there from 200 Buffs, you’ll need 260 Picks.
To sum it all up, from Chapter 3 onward, you’ll need a total of 790 Picks to reach 250 Buffs and unlock Chapter 7, where the Totem reward awaits.
Below is a detailed table to visualize the progression more clearly:
| Chapter | Required Buff | Increased Buff | Required Picks | Cumulative Picks |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 3 | 50 | 50 | 50 | 50 |
| 4 | 100 | 50 | 110 | 160 |
| 5 | 150 | 50 | 160 | 320 |
| 6 | 200 | 50 | 210 | 530 |
| 7 | 250 | 50 | 260 | 790 |
| Total | 790 |
Hero Wars Lyria Event Final Thoughts
Reaching the Totem in Hero Wars Lyria Event Chapter 7 is not just about having enough Picks—it’s about planning them wisely across each chapter. Knowing how many Buffs you need, how many Picks each stage costs, and keeping an eye on your resources is the key to success.
I recommend saving up Picks in advance and keeping track of how many Buffs you need at each stage. Unlocking the Totem is absolutely achievable with proper planning—and now, you have the exact numbers to guide your journey.
Good luck, Guardians of Dominion! May your Picks be well spent, and may the Totem be yours.
