How high to ascend wu?

Previously levelling heroes with no real plan (other than a strong rainbow, from what I’ve read I might have to get over the “hero missing” message) I do appreciate the input.

==Wu Kong at 4* 3.60 & 4* 4.70==

Some heroes are good, some suck but most are just okay.

To keep this on topic, since Wu Kong is a glass cannon, leveling him to 4* 4.70 without a rainbow team of good/ okay 4* 3.60 heroes to back him up, will decrease his effect.

I usually advice leveling a rainbow team of 3* heroes to 3* 3.50, then a rainbow team of 4* heroes to 4* 3.60. Both 3* 3.50 and 4* 3.60 are maximum with farmable ascension materials.

Then swap your 4* 3.60 yellow hero for your 3* 3.50 purple hero (linky, linky) when farming season 1 province 7 stage 7 ( s1-7-7) for least real world time used, ~8 recruits & rugged cloths.

Then swap your 4* 3.60 red for your 3* 3.50 green when farming season 1 province 8 stage 7 ( s1-8-7 ) to quickly fill your Wanted monsters mission chest for ascension item rolls & ~9 recruits.

==Teammates are your best resource==

Your play style and hero roster will change as you play. The best resource is a good alliance were you can ask specific questions about your hero roster from others with a similar play style.

Some of these are old, but a list of links, mostly involving 3*/4* heroes (linky, linky)

This is really old ( I need to update it ) but has the basic principals:

Simple Advice
As soon as you can, level your first 3* rainbow team (one of each color) to max (3.50),
then level your first 4* rainbow team to max (4.70).

[Edit]
For farming 8-7, substitute your 3* green hero ( strong against blue and neutral against green ) for your 4* red hero ( weak against blue )

For farming Wanted: Elemental mission (chest) substitute your 3* strong color hero for your 4* weak color hero when farming a single color.

For reflected color bosses, level your second 3* rainbow team (substitute for a strong color hero for your reflected color 3* hero against a reflected color boss)
then level your second 4* rainbow team.

Note: your second rainbow team will give you Huge boost against reflective color bosses since you will be replacing a reflected color hero with a strong color hero against the boss.

For farming Wanted: Elemental missions (chest), Challenge events and titans, level your third 3* rainbow team. Substitute for your weak color 3* hero and one neutral color 3* hero while farming a single color. Substitute for you reflected color 3* hero and weak 3* hero while fighting a reflective color boss.
then level your third 4* rainbow team.

[Edit] This will give you another decent boost against reflective color bosses since you will be replacing a reflected color and a weak color with two strong color heroes against the boss.

Level your first 5* rainbow team. A single 5* rainbow team requires the same 3* ascension materials as TWO 4* rainbow teams. Example: 8 warm capes will ascend TWO 4* blue heroes or a single 5* blue hero.
