F2P roster
Well this was an interesting puzzle.
Legendary training x1
Click for details
I would stop running 2x Legendary training ( RT20 ). Legendary training goes from an average of a 4* hero per ten days ( one camp ) to five days ( two camps ). For a F2P it consumes a lot of recruits and food for very little return since you are sacrificing an Extra low cost training ( RT11 ) which is very slow but very high Hero XP per recruit. With a good set of 4* / 5* heroes you are better off chasing Epic Hero Tokens and Atlantis coins ( Season 2 normal is worth 810 )
rainbow 3* 3.50 / 4* 3.60 teams
You have a decent selection of 3* 3.50 and 4* 3.60 heroes for color stacking.
Wu Kong- Fine Gloves 1 of 3
It is worth building a team around Wu Kong. Currently there are only three heroes I would level solo, Wu Kong is one. Use rainbow feeder heroes to level up Wu Kong to 4* 4.70. He is very fragile so it helps to run 2x healers with him, and 4* 4.70 will give him a lot more defense and HP then 4* 3.60.
He is not great for defense, but that is true of a lot of Classic yellow 4* Heroes. Still my Wu Kong 4* 4.70 was on my defense team until I leveled Guardian Jackal to 4* 4.70 and then Joon to 5* 3.70 .
Rainbow 4* team- Fine Gloves 2- 3 of 3
After Wu Kong is 4* 4.70, then level Sabina ( purple ) , Grimm ( blue ) , Scarlett ( red ) to 4* 4.70 to use purple, blue and red feeder heroes.
Either Hu Tao to 4* 3.60 for farming or Vivica to 5* 3.70 to use yellow feeder heroes.
Mother North to 5* 3.70 or Tarlak to 5* 2.60 to use green feeder heroes.
Waiting for Godot, er, Fine Gloves no. 4
Reflect damage is a very good attack special ability - not as good on defense. If you still do not have more Fine Gloves, level Cyprian to 4* 4.70 using rainbow feeder heroes. If still waiting, level Sabina to 4* 3.60 using rainbow feeder heroes.
rainbow 5* team
I would like more depth to your 4* roster before you level any 5* heroes higher than 5* 2.60 since it requires 3* ascension items but 5* 3.70 are less powerful than 4* 4.70 heroes, require more Hero XP to get their, and are less common for a F2P than 4* heroes.
F2P - the patient ones

One way a F2P can even the playing field is Extra Low Cost training ( RT11 ). I currently have in Legendary training 15 unclaimed heroes ( waiting for Hero Academy ) and Extra Low cost training has 4211 unclaimed heroes - spread across 3x camps - waiting for a good rainbow 5* 2.60 team or a Wu Kong level 4* hero.
Twice I have used this wealth of unclaimed training to level a hero from 4* 1.1 to 4* 4.70 in less than a day - first with purple 4* Proteus and second with red 4* Wilbur - both are tricky to use, but very powerful.
If I was missing them from my roster, I would use this wealth, and level the following to 4* 3.60 when I finally got them and then 4* 4.70 when I finally got the 3* ascension items - Wu Kong, Rigard, Melendor, Grimm, Scarlett ( the original, insanely, over powered Wu Kong cascade squad - the only you are missing is Rigard but Boldtusk or Sabina can hold down his slot ), Boldtusk ( Revive talent + 27% Heal ), Tiburtus ( Pierce talent + Ramming Pulverizer ). Honorable mentions ( both of which you are currently missing ): Kiril ( 28% Heal and Blessed Brew + Jinx talent ), Little John ( Delay talent, Attack all for farming, reduced mana generation for Bosses, and very high attack stat ).

Off color, 1 day, power leveling, or why I am hoarding finished heroes
[Play style] Free, 1 day, 5* Hero 1.1 to 4.80 leveling or hoarding finished heroes
Looks like 1* / 2* Tourneys are coming. If you are out of 3* / 4* ascension items and 3* heroes to level, you can always level 1* / 2* but it helps if you are Cheap 2 Play since roster slots are tight for F2P.
