Trainer Heroes Pack vs Reset WE

[zephyr1]

@arios This same question came up in another thread, I think this might answer your question:

@zephyr1

I think the better use of gems if you’re after feeders is to buy the Trainer Pack that’s occasionally offered in the regular Shop.

@RandaPanduh

That or by purchasing World Energy refills for 100 gems and using the feeders you get as fodder, and the recruits you get as potential feeders.

That way is much cheaper, more efficient, and you’ll get exp and other goodies from farming.

Personally, I’d save the gems for Atlantis, seasonal, or event summons. That’s just me though

@Garanwyn

It turns out that this is much more efficient, if you’re willing to spend the time to farm.

0.2 Heroes/Flag (best available)
50/50 mix of 1* and 2*, for an average of 324/hero
Which gives 64.8 hxp/flag

Even at the base value of 15 WE, this yields: 9.72 hxp/gem, so it’s about 3x as efficient

It also has the knock-on effect of getting ascension material drops, which will be necessary before long (and increases the efficiency, because one can use those backpacks and swords to generate extra feeder heroes).

@Garanwyn

I’ll add that none of this is particularly cheap. Levelling a 4* hero costs 167,592 hxp.

At 9.72 hxp/gem, this is 17,242 gems needed. At a penny a gem, that’s $172 to level a 4* (assuming you have ascension mats).

5* heroes require 353,599 hxp. So that’s 36,379 gems, or $364.

@HorstVomForst

Wow thanks for your calculations…so basically, spend the money on 4*/5* if you need them and don’t have TC20, otherwise build TC19 as fast as possible and continue farming, if unpatient spending WE flasks…

Your comments will make a huge difference to my leveling approach, thanks again!
