4 cards with the same level can be craft and upgrade to one card with 1 level higher. For example, 4 level-1 cards can be craft to a 2-level card. A typical level-2 card will have more HC token mining hash rate than 4 level-1 cards combined.

Note1: HC hashrate multiplier will be determined during the upgrade by how many same character cards you used to upgrade. If you use 4 same cards to upgrade, the multiplier will be at maximum.
Note2:If the hashrate of a level-1 card is 1.2, then when you upgrade 4 level-1 cards to get a level-2 card, the level-2 card will have a hashrate of (1.2+1.2+1.2+1.2)*Multiplier.
