Thanks @yelnats_24
Sorry to be a pain, could you show me the part where 5* dupes are utilised?
This is the cost of HA10, along with 300 recruits and 1288k food.
I donāt want to push any buttons, just wanted to ask would this info be shared here or a separate thread? If shared eventually.
Right but thereās no point hoarding 10 Magniās?
No unless you are incredibly lucky and get 10 non dupes in 10 attempt.

If it comes from Small Giant directly, a separate thread.

AH I see, so dupes are only useful to the extent that you can convert them into a hero you donāt have

There might be. I would be patient and wait until the dust settles before feeding away a slew of dupes. I mean, if youāve kept them upwards of 3 years, what will it hurt to wait until v30 is released?

Maybe v31 as they said it is final versionā¦ that is if they decide to overhaul it post release like ALā¦
Well, there may be more shared around or before the release of v30. Itās best to wait for pertinent information.
I wouldnāt expect any saving graces, timelines, or concrete promises (It is SG). However, I would expect the issue to be commented on given the high bar of expectations that the HA will likely fail to meet.
I personally will probably never feed away a 5*. They represent too much value to be wasted on a minuscule amount of XP and it is too poor of a game design to have no use for them. This shouldnāt be a permanent feature in the game economy.

Ah @Kikyo you are an idealist indeed, I salute you.
I have completely* lost that trait about me lol (*mostly)

I think this disqualifies me from idealist. 
Itās also easier to have the view after the berating SGās taken in beta through the 4 or so cycles of the Hero Academy. Iāve criticized SG and been angered by HAās almost intransigent design, but there are much more impassioned posts than mine in beta. I tend to walk away or post a very succinct post if Iām perturbed by something.
Iām unlikely to stay in beta if nothing is announced publicly and have already started free/more casual play in the live game (as much as a leader can be casual, I suppose).

So to clarify, only changes in Beta had to do with multiple actions in researching or creating.
So we still get a 5% chance at a HOTM or S2 hero like Ariel or Kage??? Or has that changed too???
Pretty sure Atlantis heroes are not in the HA pool.
Season 2 5* are in hero academy

Cool, and are old HOTM still in there too or no?
Everything available is in the first post. Old HoTM, challenge event heroes, and Season 2 heroes. 
Sweet! I am happy to be wrong!
I read the original post and thought they were included but someone above had HOTM crossed out, thought I missed a change. Thanks for clarifying!
