To acquire and upgrade Legendary Hero Iroh efficiently in Avatar: Realms Collide, spend gems on the recurring Lucky Wheel event only when you have saved enough currency to reach guaranteed milestone chests. Once unlocked, place Iroh in the secondary commander slot behind a fully maxed primary combat lead like Kyoshi (Level 60 and 6 stars) so his skill damage benefits from her maximum march capacity and talent tree bonuses.
Lucky Wheel Milestone Strategy for Iroh
Standard recruit summons spread odds across the general hero pool. The Lucky Wheel concentrates rewards on the featured commander, dropping individual Iroh shards, multi-shard bundles, speedups, and universal legendary shards.
Wheel spins carry random drop rates, but the event includes cumulative milestone chests that award guaranteed Iroh shard bundles at fixed spin counts. You should never spin incrementally or stop between milestone tiers. Committing without enough gems to reach a milestone chest wastes currency on unpredictable wheel drops without securing the guaranteed shard floor.
| Spin Objective | Reward Target | Strategic Value | Gem Commitment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unlock Tier | First milestone chest | Adds Iroh to your roster | Low; accessible for budget players |
| Mid-Tier Push | Intermediate milestone chests | Unlocks 3-star and 4-star skill ranks | Moderate; makes Iroh viable as a secondary lead |
| High-Tier Push | Upper milestone chests | Approaches near-max skill and star levels | High; requires stockpiled gem reserves |
To stretch your resources during the event:
- Collect the daily free spin each day the event is active.
- Purchase daily half-price single spins to reach milestone thresholds at a reduced gem cost.
- Calculate your total spins before starting, and stop pulling once you clear your target milestone chest.
Why Primary Leads Take Investment Priority
Before pouring gems into maxing Iroh, ensure your primary march lead—such as Kyoshi—has reached Level 60 and 6 stars.
In march deployment, primary and secondary commanders perform different mechanical roles:
- Primary Commander (Kyoshi): Determines total army march capacity through hero level, and applies full talent tree attributes to the squad. Reaching Level 60 and the 6-star promotion maximizes troop count and fully unlocks the talent tree.
- Secondary Commander (Iroh): Contributes active and passive skills, but provides no talent tree bonuses and does not expand troop capacity.
Because a secondary hero borrows the army size and talent infrastructure established by the leader, upgrading a primary commander to Level 60 delivers immediate squad-wide durability and attack power. Once Kyoshi secures that structural foundation, Iroh can be slotted as a secondary specialist to deliver high skill output without needing primary talent levels.
March Synergy: Pairing Kyoshi and Iroh
Placing Iroh behind a maxed Kyoshi creates an offensive march suitable for open-field skirmishes and rally attacks. Kyoshi provides the durability, stat boosts, and larger army size necessary to keep the squad alive through extended engagements. Iroh provides burst skill damage that punishes enemy units.
To maximize this pairing:
- Focus Kyoshi’s talents on rage generation and durability: Rapid rage accumulation triggers Kyoshi and Iroh's active skills more frequently throughout combat.
- Use Kyoshi's army capacity to protect Iroh: High troop counts scale battle longevity, preventing burst-focused commanders from suffering heavy losses in battles of attrition.
- Upgrade Iroh's star tiers for skill unlocks: Prioritize his milestone shards to advance his skill levels, raising the march's overall damage output while Kyoshi handles troop scaling.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
Nice guide. I am checking the other Avatar: Realms Collide articles next.
