If the character is not Awakened, the purple eye will be greyed out, but you can tap on it to preview the upgrades they will receive at each new power Tier. Once an Awakenable 5 star character reaches level 100, the ‘Evolve’ button will transform to an ‘Awaken’ button, giving you the option to increase their power even further.

Simply click the ‘Awaken’ Button in order to view the elements required to Awaken your character. Awakening your character in Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast requires certain materials that can be gained in the following ways:

• fighting in the Lord of Light XI-XV Frontier Dungeon
• performing various Lord of Light Achievements
• collecting rewards from specific events

There are 6 tiers of Awakening, each with their own unique perks. When a character begins the Awakening process, their character icon will change, and their golden stars will start to turn purple. Each new Tier will be characterized by a new purple star taking the place of a regular golden one.

The 6th and final Awakening tier will turn all 5 purple stars red, and will sometimes lead to cosmetic changes to your character. The 6th Tier will unlock the most powerful version of your character and it will require specific ultra-rare Awakening materials that vary based on the theme of the character.
