Hero Incremental currencies

What every currency is for, how to earn it and whether it resets.

Updated September 26, 2026

Quick answer

Credits buy Credit upgrades and rank ups. Redeploy points buy the Redeploy tree. Cargo, Bounty Marks, CP and SR buy permanent trees that never reset, and Silver adds Crowns, Momentum, Honor and Storm Essence.
