Hello. Upon receipt of my next d-blade (after next rare quest), I will be taking Guinevere from 3/70 to 4/80. I am currently stockpiling recruits in TC11 for this purpose and will use TC 19 to create any remaining heroes required. I have about 800 recruits in TC 11 now.
How many recruits (approximately) would be needed to go from 3/70 to 4/80 assuming you start with 0 heroes in your inventory?
There’s a thread with experience calculations and formulae in the player guides forum.
Taking the calculated experience required for 4/1 to 4/80 of 173498 and dividing by 150 (assuming impossibly worst case of no yellow feeders) and the result is 1157 1* feeders needed, rounding up.
I don’t know specifics, but I have maxed out both Joon and Lady Locke. The fourth tier is very expensive and slow. I took me about seven days each and near the top was consuming around 35 1* heros and 350,000 food per level (don’t quote me). Best advice is don’t divide your resources, but solely concentrate on your five star task at hand.
I will move whatever is left of them after a few days (when the Damascus blade should arrive) to TC19. This should generate sufficient “feeders” to level Guinevere from 3/70 to 4/80 very quickly. Of course I will keep adding recruits to TC11 over this period.
If one has many heroes that need feeding, then I urge the following training path:
matched-color training. It’s notjust to get the special ability up, it’s also a 20% bonus on experience. That bonus really adds up.
stop using 1* to feed 5* at about 4-40. Those last levels are expensive, and the cost per hero is the same. Use those 1* to start your next (color) hero, while you use 2* and trainers to max the high-tier hero
consider stopping at 4-70. The last 10 levels are brutally expensive. Weigh the value of using all those feeders and hams to bring up another hero. For wars, you will be more effective having a full bench of heroes at 4-70 than having some 4-80s and not much else.
