Frequently asked questions
-
How much gold do I get at the start of each round?
The base passive stipend ramps up across the opening rounds and then stabilizes. You receive 2/2/3/4 at rounds 1-2/1-3/1-4/2-1, then 5 gold at the start of every planning phase from 2-2 onward. On top of that, winning a PvP round adds 1 gold, and any interest, streak bonuses, or augment grants are added separately. Unspent gold automatically carries into the next round — there's no per-round expiration, which is what makes saving for interest viable.
-
How does interest work, and why is 50 gold the magic number?
At the end of every round you gain 1 extra gold for each full 10 gold in your bank, capped at +5. So 10g gives +1, 30g gives +3, and 50g gives the maximum +5 — anything above 50 yields no extra interest under normal rules. That's why economy-focused play obsesses over 'hitting 50': once there, every additional round prints the maximum +5 on top of the base stipend and any streak bonus. A few augments can raise the cap, but the default ceiling is +5 at 50g held.
-
Do win streaks and loss streaks pay the same? What are the thresholds?
Yes — the schedule is identical for both. You gain +1 gold per round at a 3- or 4-round streak, +2 at 5, and +3 at 6 or more. Win streaks also stack with the +1 from winning each PvP round, so they reward stable boards; loss streaks instead let weak boards bank into a bigger spike later. The streak counter resets on a tied round in modes that allow ties, and breaking the streak with a single opposite result resets it to zero.
-
How much do rerolls and buying XP cost?
Refreshing the shop costs 2 gold per reroll and replaces all five shop slots with a fresh roll from the level-appropriate odds table. Buying experience costs 4 gold for 4 XP toward your next level, on top of the 2 free XP you receive at the end of every round. Both prices are flat across the entire game — they don't scale with player level or stage. Reroll cost is also unaffected by streaks, augments, or items unless an augment explicitly says otherwise.
-
How much gold do I get back when I sell a unit?
1-star units sell for their full purchase price (1g, 2g, 3g, 4g, or 5g matching their tier). 2-star and 3-star units sell for 1 gold less than the combined cost of the copies that made them — except 1-cost (tier-1) champions, which are exempt and always refund the full value at any star level. So a 2-star 3-cost sells for 8g instead of the 9g spent, and a 3-star 1-cost still refunds the full 9g. Items equipped on a sold unit return to your bench rather than being lost.
-
Can I sell items for gold?
No. Items are not directly sellable in the standard ruleset — there is no 'sell item' button. The only way to remove an item from a unit is to sell that unit, which destroys the unit but returns every equipped item to your bench intact. Components on the bench can't be cashed out either; they sit there until you combine them or place them on a unit. Some set mechanics or specific consumables can transform items, but converting items back into gold is not a base-game interaction.
-
Do PvE rounds give gold, and is it the same for everyone?
Yes — every PvE round (the creep waves on 1-1, 2-7, 3-7, etc., plus the krug/wolf/raptor/dragon stages) is guaranteed to drop at least one loot orb, and the first 3 PvE rounds always drop at least one orb. Orbs can contain gold, items, components, or champions. Riot's loot system equalizes the orb count and rarity tier across all eight players in a lobby — everyone opens the same number of orbs of the same rarity each PvE round, but the specific contents inside (e.g., 3g vs. a component) vary per player.
-
When is it correct to break the 50-gold interest threshold?
Only when the spend buys something interest can't replace: protecting a win streak that's worth more than the interest you skip, stabilizing on low HP before player-damage scales up, hitting a level breakpoint that unlocks a needed shop tier, or rolling at a known odds window for a critical upgrade. Spending below 50 trades roughly 1 gold per round in lost interest for whatever you bought; the rule is to spend with a reason, not by reflex. At 0 HP risk, holding 50+ and only rolling the excess (slow roll) almost always produces more total gold than dipping below.
