Hero Academy Updates

[Shohoku79]

I had been running Hero Academy 10 since obtaining it a few years ago, with a few breaks in between, it's just a weekly thing to mostly pop in, see the vanilla 5* and most likely send him/her right back in the following week.  The breaks were when pick up time coincides with Soul Exchange, and I needed all the heroes (including the one being cooked) to make exchanges.

Since then there had been a few changes, and up until the latest change (that I recalled, before the old forum got the axe) was that the 5* heroes there had the list expanded (to include heroes from ### days back) and will include the released costumes if the costume rolls a yes.  Since that update, I haven't gotten anything new, not new non S1, and none of the S1 I got back came with any costumes.

So since we can't look at the little information "I" icon whenever all the functions are being used, I also don't get to look at these very often.  This past week after I picked up another costume-less S1, I decided to pause and check out the other levels and saw that the Rare and Epic trainings have also had similar (heroes from ### days back are also available at the all too familiar 5% rate).  I took a break from HA10 and decided to get the ball rolling a bit see if I can pick up a few Epics I missed.  Not going to hold my breath for any quick results because it's only 5% non vanilla, and the list is big.

Did HA9 (the Epic Troop retrain) get any updates, to include Specialized Epics (Ninja, Magic, Cyclops) as possible re-train results?  They are already in the Epic Troop portals.

Maybe as I see @ PlayForFun going about his usual forum topic/guide organizations, we might start seeing a guide for this several year old feature?

I switched to producing common and uncommon troops instead and felt better for it. Feels a better investment. In saying that more recently i've been stock piling trainers in there instead of common troops. I can't answer in relation to your question, but just thought I could steer you away from spending a lot of resources on heroes that don't cut it in today's game for the most part..

Thank you for the feedback.

To that regard, most of them likely won't, but heroes last forever (even the some of the most sought after ones did not age well and will succumb to age and being replaced).  It all depends on playstyle, and when I started this game back in 2017, I've never played it to be competitive, but only the PvE parts and as a Collector of cards.  I also play for free, so I won't have most and best of the heroes,  I am putting my resources nowadays in fulfilling the collector's purpose in me as opposed to chasing cards (which will most likely end in disappointments from not getting him/her/it and those cards most likely end up being replaced in time).
