Summon Heroes on Roblox has 16 distinct materials spread across four categories: XP food, Fusion Crystals, gacha currencies, and reroll items. Each one feeds into a different progression system, and knowing exactly where to farm them prevents wasted time and resources.
Quick answer: All food items and Fusion Crystals can be purchased from the Item Shop and PvP Shop. Chests, Story Stages, and Dungeons round out the farming loop. Summon Tickets and Mythic Shards come primarily from quests, Dungeons, and redeemable codes.

XP Food Items — Unit Leveling in the Level Up Zone
Food is the primary way to push unit XP in Summon Heroes. You consume these items inside the Level Up Zone, and each tier grants a fixed amount of experience. The ten food types scale from 1,250 XP up to 125,000 XP per use, so higher-tier food is dramatically more efficient for leveling strong units.
| Food Item | XP Granted |
|---|---|
| Candy | 1,250 |
| Donut | 5,000 |
| Boba | 11,250 |
| Avocado | 20,000 |
| Cupcake | 31,250 |
| Rice Cake | 45,000 |
| Fries | 61,250 |
| Burger | 80,000 |
| Ramen | 101,250 |
| Taco | 125,000 |
Every food item shares the same four acquisition methods: buying from the Item Shop, buying from the PvP Shop, opening Chests, and clearing Story Stages. There is no exclusive source for any particular food tier — the difference is purely drop probability and stage difficulty.

Best Stages for Farming Tacos
Tacos sit at the top of the food chain with 125,000 XP each, so farming them efficiently matters. The three Story Stages with the highest Taco drop chances are Leviathan's Eye, Sunset City, and Aetherwell City. Each of these can drop up to four Tacos per clear, making them far superior to earlier stages for food farming.
Running these stages repeatedly is the most reliable free-to-play method for stocking up on high-tier food. If you hit a wall on these stages, the Item Shop and PvP Shop both sell food items and restock frequently — the Item Shop resets every five minutes, so checking it often is worthwhile.
Fusion Crystals — Star Rarity Upgrades
Fusion Crystals are consumed in the Fusion Area, which unlocks at Level 10. The game uses three tiers of crystal, each tied to a specific star-upgrade threshold.
| Crystal | Function | Level Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Rare Fusion Crystal | Fuse 3-star units → 4-star | 10+ |
| Epic Fusion Crystal | Fuse 4-star units → 5-star | 10+ |
| Legendary Fusion Crystal | Fuse units beyond 5-star | 10+ |
Fusion Crystals drop from five places: the Item Shop, the PvP Shop, Chests, Story Stages, and Dungeons. Dungeons are the standout here because they also drop Mythic Shards, letting you double-dip on two valuable resources in a single run.
A key detail about the fusion system itself: you can fuse any unit of the same star level into another unit to raise its star rarity. A 4-star Rare can serve as fusion material for a 4-star Legendary. This makes every pull potentially useful, so avoid enabling auto-sell on lower-rarity units — they serve as essential fodder for upgrading your best characters.

Summon Tickets and Mythic Shards — Gacha Currencies
Two separate currencies feed the summoning system, and they work very differently from each other.
Summon Tickets
Summon Tickets are used in the standard Summon area to pull new units. You can get them from the Item Shop, the PvP Shop, quest completions, and by redeeming active Summon Heroes codes. Codes are periodically released by the developers and typically grant a small batch of tickets alongside other rewards.
Mythic Shards
Mythic Shards power the Mythic Pack gacha, which guarantees a Mythic unit on every roll. That guarantee makes Mythic Shards extremely valuable, and their sources are more limited: quest completions, Dungeon clears, and redeemable codes. They cannot be purchased from the Item Shop or PvP Shop, so Dungeons are the primary repeatable farming method.

Trait Rerolls — Customizing Unit Traits
Trait Rerolls let you roll or reroll the Traits assigned to a unit. You use them in the Traits area. Four sources exist for obtaining them: the Item Shop (purchased with Coins), the PvP Shop (purchased with PvP Tokens), quest completions, and direct Robux purchases from the Shop.
Because Trait Rerolls are one of the few materials that can be bought with Robux, free-to-play players should prioritize quest completions and the PvP Shop to keep a steady supply. Traits can meaningfully change a unit's performance, so having rerolls on hand when you pull a strong character saves time later.

Earning PvP Tokens for Shop Purchases
The PvP Shop is a source for nearly every material in the game, but it runs on PvP Tokens rather than Coins or Gems. You earn PvP Tokens by playing PvP matches: 3 Tokens for a win and 1 Token for a loss. PvP requires Level 10 or higher, which is the same threshold needed for the Fusion Area. Once you hit Level 10, working PvP matches into your daily routine gives you a secondary currency stream that supplements your Item Shop and Story Stage farming.
Farming Priority by Game Mode
Different game modes overlap in what they drop, but each one has a niche where it outperforms the others.
| Game Mode | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Story Stages | Food, Fusion Crystals | Leviathan's Eye / Sunset City / Aetherwell City for Tacos |
| Dungeons | Fusion Crystals, Mythic Shards | Only repeatable source for Mythic Shards |
| PvP | PvP Tokens (for shop purchases) | Requires Level 10+; 3 Tokens per win, 1 per loss |
| Item Shop | All food, Fusion Crystals, Summon Tickets, Trait Rerolls | Resets every 5 minutes |
| Quests | Summon Tickets, Mythic Shards, Trait Rerolls | One-time completions; check for new quests regularly |
| Chests | Food, Fusion Crystals | Random drops; not a reliable primary source |
Early on, focus on Story Stages for consistent food and crystal drops. Once you reach Level 10, add Dungeons and PvP to your rotation. The Item Shop's five-minute reset timer makes it the most flexible source for filling gaps in your inventory — check it frequently during active play sessions.
Materials in Summon Heroes feed into tightly connected systems: food levels your units, Fusion Crystals raise their star rarity, Summon Tickets and Mythic Shards expand your roster, and Trait Rerolls fine-tune performance. Keeping a balanced farming routine across Story Stages, Dungeons, PvP, and the Item Shop ensures none of these systems bottleneck your progression.
