Hero Wars Totem Fusion FAQs: Everything You Need to Know

Hero Wars Totem Fusion FAQs have been flooding the community ever since Nexters announced this exciting new gameplay feature. Players are eager to understand how Totem Fusion will impact their current resources, battle strategies, and long-term progress. If you’re wondering what Totem Fusion actually does or how it changes the way you handle totem fragments, you’re in the right place.

In this post, we’ll answer the most common questions about the new system and provide clarity on upcoming mechanics, changes, and what it all means for your gameplay.


What is Totem Fusion in Hero Wars?

Totem Fusion is a major update that adds depth to the elemental totem system in Hero Wars. Instead of letting extra totem fragments pile up, players will now be able to fuse those fragments into Catalysts, a new resource used to unlock Elemental and Primordial Totem Skills.

It’s a step forward for mid-to-endgame players who have already completed their totem collections and want new goals to work toward. The Hero Wars Totem Fusion FAQs below break it all down.


Hero Wars Totem Fusion FAQs

❓ Will I Still Be Able to Gift Totems to Other Players?

Yes. The Totem gifting feature will remain as it currently is. If you’ve already maxed out your totems, you can still send fragments to friends who are working toward theirs.


❓ What Happens to the Emerald Totem Exchange?

Once Totem Fusion is live, the 200,000 Emerald exchange option will be removed. Instead, players will be able to trade duplicate totems for Catalysts. Nexters will give advance notice of when this change goes into effect, so players have time to use the current system if they prefer.


❓ Can I Get Catalysts from the Altar of the Elements?

Yes. For players who have already unlocked 30 or more totem fragments, Catalysts will become part of the guaranteed drop system at the Altar of the Elements.


❓ Is There Bad Luck Protection When Using Catalysts?

Yes, and this is one of the best quality-of-life updates. A partial refund system will apply when a catalyst upgrade fails, helping reduce resource loss and player frustration. This feature ensures that repeated failures won’t set you too far back.


❓ Will There Be More Ways to Earn Catalysts?

Absolutely. The developers have confirmed that Catalysts won’t be locked behind just totem fragments and Gifts of Dominion. Expect future events and other mechanics to offer alternative paths for earning Catalysts.


❓ Can Totem Skills Be Removed or Changed?

You won’t be able to unequip skills, but you can overwrite them. Once you reach skill level 5, the odds of getting a desired skill improve, making it easier to customize your totem’s power to suit your team composition.


❓ Will Totem Fusion Affect League Arena Development?

No. The League Arena and Totem Fusion features are being developed by different teams at Nexters. Their timelines and development cycles are separate, so one will not delay the other.


❓ Will Totem Fusion Be Reflected in Combat Training?

Not at launch. However, Nexters is planning to roll out Combat Training updates that reflect the Totem Fusion system shortly after its release.


Looking Ahead

The Hero Wars Totem Fusion system is an exciting addition that brings long-requested improvements to the endgame experience. Whether you’re gifting fragments, collecting Catalysts, or exploring new totem skills, there’s a lot to look forward to. And with more updates and a deeper look into the mechanics coming next week, this is just the beginning.

For now, share your thoughts with fellow players on Discord and start planning how you’ll use your Catalysts when the feature launches!
