Age of empire-Five star hero 15 Gr vs. 18 Gr.

So a question many of us have is what hero should I use. Well there are several factors that contribute to how powerful a hero is. Basically the higher the number the better. So a five star will generally be stronger then a four star. However growth rate does contribute a lot to a heroes power. I have mapped out the difference between a 5* 15 gr and a 5* 18 gr ( what I have on hand to test). They appear to grow at a predetermined pattern the pattern was more complex then I would have guessed but still a pattern. Once I deduced the pattern I was then able to mathematically calculate where the hero would end up at level 400.


Five star 15 Growth rate: weekly hero
Pattern: Troops add 16 for each level
Attack: add 4 one level then 5 the next 4 again and so on.
Defense: same as above only using 10 and 11 rather then 5 and 4

so starting out a 5* 15 gr. has
lvl 1. 16 troops 18 attack and 18 defense
and mathematically calculated
lvl. 400 6400 troops 1813 attack and 4207 defense

starting out a 5* 18 gr. has
lvl 1. 16 troops 18 attack and 18 defense
and mathematical calculated
lvl. 400 6400 troops 2172 attack and 5038 defense


So it is pretty clear that a higher growth rate effects more then just how fast the hero will gain levels. At the max level  the 18 gr. has 359 more attack then the 15 gr. and 821 more defense then the 15 gr. It is easy to see how these numbers can have a huge impact on a battle. Keep in mind also that these numbers are before we factor in letter scores.

If you have a hero you would like analyzed please feel free to ask All i need are the numbers from 10 levels. Can be the first 10 or the last 10 doesn't matter.
