I have to wait how long to max a 5* hero's class..?

[zephyr1]

@Kerridoc did some speculative reasoning, and arrived at these rough estimates:

@Kerridoc

Yes, so I should say, 64 weeks to max one legendary in each class.

@Kerridoc

Another way to look at the numbers: an Epic hero take 535 emblems to max, so 535 / 23.4 = 23 weeks to get an Epic hero in each class maxed.

Those estimates were based on the announced sources of Emblems:

@Sara

General goals of Emblem allocation:

• Majority of the Emblems a player can gain are completely free and not tied to purchases.
• Emblems are more likely to be gained from specific rare sources and upcoming features rather than the most common sources.
• Once all major Emblem sources are active, players should be able to advance, on average, several legendary class levels in a month.

About Emblem allocation by activity:

• A significant portion of all Emblems can be gained via Class Quests.
• A significant portion of all Emblems can be gained via new features launching in early/mid-2019
  • This specifically includes the Weekly Raids, soon in beta
• A portion of all Emblems can be gained via Rare Chests and Rare Loot
  • This specifically includes War Chest, Rare Titan victory loot (ETA: Version 19) and Rare Wanted Chests
• A portion of all Emblems can be gained via common Wanted Chests
• A small portion of all Emblems can be gained via active VIP Pass in the upcoming versions (ETA: Version 19)

And a subsequent attempt to interpret them into hard numbers:

@Kerridoc

Let me try to back into some hard number in light of Sara’s post. I’m going to need to make up some numbers, but I think my conclusions will be fairly robust.

Sara outlined two “significant portion” sources, two “portion” sources, and one “small portion” source. Let’s suppose that a “portion” is half of a “significant” portion, and a “small portion” is half of that.

Then:

• “significant portion” = 4/13 ~= 31%
• “portion” = 2/13 ~= 15%
• “small portion” = 1/13 ~= 8%

We know that Trials yield 72 emblems/week. If those represent 4/13 of the total expected flow, then the long-term rate should be about 72 * 13 / 4 = 234 emblems/week, or 23.4 emblems/week/class. 1,500 / 23.4 = 64 weeks to max a legendary hero in each class

Does that look right?
