We’re excited to release another update to Ethgard Legend, which introduces Collection Rarity and Core Fragments.
Collection Rarity
https://ethgardlegends.com/inventory/cards
No more relying just on the hero you’re using to determine your chest rarity. With Collection Rarity, it’s your entire card collection that sets the foundation. And there's more: your performance in matches now has a bigger influence on your rewards.
How It Works
Your Collection Rarity establishes the starting point for your chest. Each star you earn in a match bumps that rarity up by 5%, with a ceiling at 50%. Even if you don’t score any stars/win any rounds, you’ll still get a chest tied to your collection level. But pile up the wins, and things get interesting. Here’s an example:
- Your Collection Rarity is Common, with 9/13 progress toward Uncommon. That guarantees a Common Chest, plus a 69% chance for Uncommon straight out of the gate.
- If you rack up 10 wins (hitting that 50% boost), your baseline shifts to Uncommon, with a 19% chance for Rare.
- If the Hero you used is an Epic Hero, there's an extra 10% chance for an Epic Chest.
What’s Great About It
- Balance Updates Won’t Hurt: Every video game has balancing updates, Ethgard Legends isn't any different. When Heroes get tweaked, it will have less influence on your rewards.
- Freedom to Play: Using a Common Hero you like won’t feel like a downgrade, even if you’ve got Rare or Epic ones.
And that old move of dropping rounds to choose a better hero? That's not an option anymore as you'll get a chest anyway.
Core Fragments

This update also brings Core Fragments into the mix, a new ERC1155 soulbound resource for crafting rarity cores in the Forge. You’ll find them in chests with an 80% drop chance (which climbs by 5% for Uncommon chests and beyond). Pair them with some Ethershards and you'll be able to craft the rarity core you haven't had any luck in getting in your chests.
Crafting Cores Table
Here’s what you’ll need to make each rarity core:
| Core Rarity | Core Fragments Required | Ethershards Required |
|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | 100 | 5 |
| Rare | 100 | 15 |
| Epic | 100 | 75 |
| Legendary | 100 | 300 |
We hope you're enjoying this update. More is on the way, so stay tuned!
Happy playing!
