I am in an alliance with 4* and 3* heroes i just wanna ask ur opinion which of those is best to level up. All info is highly appreciated. I posted what i have right now. Thanks
My two cents are to keep in mind what heroes arenāt top quality heroes and donāt waste ascension items on them. These are hu Tao, colen, and Kellie. Many people donāt rank them well. Level up gormek for his high hp and defense lowering special. Boril is good for raiding defense in the beginning. Colen might be worth it if you donāt have a better red and donāt want to wait.
You can also try raiding with your 3 reds. That should do some good and win some fights.

If you got AM for all 4* go for it! just keep a bunch of really good 3* for the event specials. Keep in mind that certain colours are reflected thereā¦

If you want to see the usefulfness of your heroes, hereās a topic:
Visit the website in the first post and open the spreadsheet on that webpage.
Just as @Rojor said, continue upgrading Gormek. Heās one of the best, if not the best, in your current hero-bench. Boril is also useful. I agree heās better in the beginning, but some people use him to take down bosses in special events or even the tougher heroes in higher ranked raids. They make effective use of his special attack; riposte. Unless youāre pretty sure youāll have a good chance of getting another blue 4* hero, I would just ascend and upgrade him also. Hereās a YouTube channel which gives you an insight of his usefulness in the first few videoās (latest).
Concerning Hu Tao and Colen, Iāve been in the same situation. The first 4* I received was yellow; Hu Tao. After I upgraded him to his 3rd ascension I received Chao and wondered what the best decision would be. I asked for advice and I decided to leave Hu Tao at 3-60, to keep my ascension materials for Chao. I donāt regret that decision. I have found Chao more usefull and last-minute live saving, but heās not yet of the same level as Hu Tao. So for now, Hu Tao is still tanking (middle position) in my defense team. You might want to leave him at 3-60 also and look for a better hero.
Colen. Heās my only red 4* hero and since I had a fair amount of ascension materials I upgraded him to the 4th ascension. I stack him with Nashgar/Hawkmoon in my raids, but rarely end up using his special attack there. If I had Gormek, Scarlett or Boldtusk, then Colen would have been wiping his tears away in a corner. 
I would suggest you to work on Caedmon and Boril first. Meanwhile hope you get a replacement for Hu Tao/Colen and then work on that replacement.
For your 3 stars, visit the first link in this post and according to the grading youāll be able to see which ones are keepers. Long story short, upgrade these from your hero-bench:
- Belith, Brienne, Hisan, Berden and Friar Tuck (in my opinion)
- Balthazar, Tyrum
- Nashgar
- Bane
- Ulmer
Future keepers:
Valen, Hawkmoon, another Balthazar, Nashgar and Bane.
You can consider keeping and using the āBā graded heroes, such as Azar, Jahangir, Carver and Gan Ju. Especially those you have been upgrading already. Kailani/Gunnar are saviours if you canāt manage to stay alive during the Intermediate level on special events. I donāt see another purpose for them based on your hero-bench.
I did not include event heroes, except Hisan, in this writing. The grading of these are also listed in the first link.

What is āAMā?? And I have every single one of those heroes in triple duplicates!! It makes me think the pulls are not as random as the developers claim them to be. There is NO WAY (slim to none) that we both have the same heroes. I do have a decent number of 4* and 1 5*. Iāve been playing for 8months!! And I pay a decent amount to keep it going, but am REALLY about to stop paying if I dont see a change in my so-called āluckā (sic developers controlled Hero disbursements) it is just too frustrating

Ascension materials, like the hidden blades, orbs, trap tools, warm capes, shields, compass and gloves
As far as heroes go, thereās only so many of them. Itās who and how u use them that make you, you. Try not to compare ur bench to others, but instead find what works for ur style of gameplay
