I genuinely appreciate someone doing this detailed explanation. Even I do similar (not so experienced player though, level 65) , when someone asks me on reddit or something. Lot of people would get overwhelmed with the data, but I enjoy both reading them or writing it.

How often does the sole exchange come around. Im in a similar position to the OP and feel its not worth dumping some heros for 10 exchange as nothing stands out to massively benefit my roster (for sacrificing many 5* i have 1 unlevelled copy of) particularly when i have 2-4 of each colour in line to be levelled waiting on ascension materialsā¦
It comes every 3 months. Personally I only use dupe HOTMs and uncostumed S1 heroes as fodder, and I suggest everyone to do the same. 5* heroes are too valuable to throw away if you donāt do much pulling.

It depends on your roster and situation.
I have more then enough mats to level up 3-4 heroes in every element but I donāt find any worthy of my time,food, recruits, mats. I am very picky with my 5* heroes. Even if itās average or below average I donāt spend mats on it. I rather build 4* army.
The SE comes every 3 months once. And usually the tier 1 isnāt much exciting tier. But based on your roster needs it can fill gaps if you need a dark hitter like C jabberwock. Mica is not much of a benefit personally I feel. Other 3 havenāt aged well in that tier.
Many of the heroes you were planning to sacrifice for a single soul exchange are good or even excellent if you have the team synergy. I almost choked when I saw your plans 
Remember, you donāt need just one team, you need at least 6 teams for alliance wars and even more for some events.
The thing that separates 5* from 4* is not only the stat gap, itās also the nature of their special skills and passives, which tend to be very simplistic for 3* and 4* heroes whereas 5* heroes get all the good stuff. A 4* that you can actually use in the endgame is an exception.

True a 4* to be used in end game are exceptional. I use 2C Lixiu in my main raid for both offence n defence and Iām in diamond at 2700-800ish. Sharkhai on all Titans , I ditched Tarlak for him. 2C caedmon etc are base of my roster. I still donāt have waddles, meadows, Anna belle etc . Till last year they Used to release 4* which were worth more than 5*. And also reachable to any ftp player also. But this year the game is going in a very different way.

Yep, I mostly use 4* as healers, including C2 Rigard, Ana-Belle, C2 Kiril, Nova, Ptolemy, Kitty and Goldie. The only offensive 4* I use for raiding are C2 Li Xiu, Waddles, C2 Caedmon and Xiahou Dun. Not all of the offensive heroes get used in most alliance wars. All of them are LB2.
I only use SharāKhai for yellow titans. I use Costume Wilbur, Miki, Costume Tarlak and Bertulf for other colors, though working on Guardian Gazelle to replace Bertulf.
Already detailed explanation of all types givenā¦.
Seeing your legendariesā¦ Holy seems needed for a balanced playā¦. So, two thoughtsā¦
-
Mica @ 10 seems useful optionā¦.as the lean roster needs a fair support hero to deal with survival and charging up time requirements ā¦.while the Big-Guns get acquired ā¦.levelledā¦ & put to use.
-
Wait for the next Soul Exchangeā¦. Though, I believe, life is right nowā¦.you seem to summon regularlyā¦ so will get / collect heroes for next Soul Exchange in next 3 months.
With your kind of situation & my experience of this gameā¦ I would pick Mica & give resourcesā¦. ENJOY playing the game till next SE 
- I would build my roster & also play at appropriate levelsā¦. Mica will help get that accessā¦ FuN & experienceā¦
- While waiting for right time, things & many blah blahsā¦. It all sounds good in theoryā¦ to readā¦. But, practical life happens NOWā¦
Which 10 heroesā¦ many have already coveredā¦
Trust this sparks somethingā¦. Helpsā¦ Cheers
I am working on Horus now. I had kept him aside I felt itās the right time. I was waiting for SE to see if I can sacrifice him as well towards some good yellow. MY eyes definitely was on white rabbit. Will see what I make my mind on. Thanks.
I have a glitch on my account where suddenly it gives me 5* like rain and then drought.
Donāt give away Horus ā¦ complete him and you will enjoy using himā¦.
- I donāt have him, would have been happy to get himā¦. Still would
White Rabbit 
is good butā¦. You donāt have heroes to give awayā¦ So hang-on for future opportunities to get him.
Let me know, if you want to identify the 10 heroes to give away to get Micaā¦. If you decide.
-
I counted exact 10 heroes that can be given awayā¦. And many will easily get replacedā¦gradually via TC20.
-
Mica can be started to be used from 3/70 onwards as you level up Horus & also collects ascension mats for him
-
I donāt want you to give away a good heroā¦. That will help play till you expand your rosterā¦
Else, wait for the next SEā¦. Which would also be a good optionā¦. Collect the legendary ascension items till then
Thanks. I have enough mats to level min 2 heroes in every element. Blue, red n yellow I have enough to max 4, I donāt have wizard emblems though.
I felt Horus will add something better to my yellow team which is as good as empty as of now with eloise as the only 5*.
I will probably skip this and wait for next SE.
I underestimated Jett, viscaro, CKage, Areax, Frida. Will have a look at them once more with fresh eyes. Kinda confused with Kettle also. Cinisia, jett, N sartana will be waiting an eternity as I really donāt have wizard emblems(luna, Loki, Eloise, Proteus, Kiril) and Iām good in green as of now. Salmon Loki definitely is food for next SE.
Confused on who is more important between CKage, Viscaro, Jett, Toon Sartana. I have 15 tabards.
