Max all four training camps or keep using two for training 1* and 2*?

Running TC1 or TC2 is expensive. You need more than twice bigger number of recruits for the same output as if you used TC19 or TC11.

I agree with you. See notes.

@Kerridoc

Froma game mechanics POV, you aren’t likely to have more than two camps running at 20 and one more running at 19. The fourth camp should be running at 11.

I know some people run four TC20, but that doesn’t produce needed feeders to advance what heroes you get.

I agree with you.

Also most Legendary training heroes are available in Challenge event summons, calendar event summons, Atlantis summons and Elemental summons. So even if you run 2- 4 Legendary training heroes, you will probably get the same heroes when trying to get limited time heroes. Gryphonkit, my wife, got Joon and Vivica trying to get Red Hood and Zimkitha. This also applies to 4* heroes like Hansel, Guardian Jackal, etc. lead to summoning Melendor, Wu Kong, etc.

But unless you are spending lots of cash, the more Extra low cost ( RT11 ) training you can run, the more XP per day they produce. And the more Rugged clothes you can get, the more Extra fast ( RT19) training you can run.

MY PERSONAL OPINION
I use one camp to store food ( guaranteed rare, elite or legendary training depending on your needs ).

I run one camp on Extra low cost ( RT11 ) training and do not collect the heroes ( I am saving for my first rainbow 5* hero team )

I run one camp on Extra low cost ( RT11 ) training and collecting the heroes to level my 3*/ 4* heroes.

I run one camp on Extra low cost ( RT11 ) training until I have enough extra food ( 660k ) and Rugged clothes ( 120 ) for 120 minutes of Extra fast ( RT19 ) training then switch it to Extra fast ( RT19 ) for a few hours.

Gryphonkit, my wife, leveled all her camps to 20, because she expects Devs to one day increase stronghold to 25. I am considering this.

Interesting discussion on XP per recruit versus XP per hour ( Yes, this is why cash players use 3*/ 4*/ 5* duplicates for XP. Training camps and recruit farming is very slow ):

Compared to 11, 19, or even 4, yes, they are terrible XP per recruit. But they are much better in XP/day, since they run faster. So If I can keep TC11 running but build up surplus recruits over time, spending them to get more feeder heroes makes sense to me. (After keeping TC11x3 full) Currently I’m using all my recruits, all my rugged clothes, all my backpacks, and am working down through my surplus of swords.

According to the ascension item tool tip, s2-1-x N/H has double chance of kits ( backpacks ) while s2-4-x N/H has double chance of Rugged clothes. This agrees with your luck with kits ( backpacks ) in s2-1-7/8 H. I need to learn Google Docs so I can enter all my season 2 data. like Mai did ( see “Top replies” linky, linky ) Common ( RT01 ) and Uncommon ( RT02 ) are terrible for XP per recruit ( see notes ). Extra fast ( RT19 ) training is a great way to deal with the low XP per hour of Ext…
