Duplicate Champions do not always provide rewards or access to Signature Abilities (i.e., Awaken).
- 1-Star Duplicates: Do not Awaken or give Crystal Shards. Rewards are only provided at 2-Star or above.
- Arena or Event Duplicates (Also known as Basic Hero Champions): Provide Signature Ability levels, but not Max Signature Ability Crystals. Basic Hero Champions increase the Signature Ability by one and provide no other rewards.
- Alliance or Arena Crystal Duplicates (i.e., Unstoppable Colossus, Punisher): Do not provide Maximum Signature Ability Crystals at maximum Signature Ability.
