"P+" refers to "P to P+4" fusion, 4-5*, maxed abilities heroes. "Blue" and "Green" fusions are NOT taken into account because there are locked skills.Heroic Academy
7
"O" refers to "Orange" fusion, 6*-7*, full equipment and maxed abilities (NO AWAKENINGS).Items Crafting
8
"O+1/2" refers to "O+1" and "O+2" fusions, 6*-7*, full equipment, full enchanted, maxed abilities (AWAKENED heroes' ratings are UNDERLINED). Area ratings(Raid, HoL, Arena, etc) are based on O+1/2 fusion!
9
"Power Curve" refers to AWAKENED heroes(O+1/2); it is the same for P+ and O but differs for O+1/2 Awakened heroes(having an additional spell).
10
"Power Curve" identifies the portion of A FIGHT where the hero gives his best: Early (1-30 seconds); Mid (30-60 seconds); Late (60-90 seconds); Balanced (whole fight). It's useful to balance Arena teams, mostly.
