Gen 6 hero investment guide
Review Triton, Sophia, and Yang with an explicit warning where public acquisition data conflicts.
Route correction: Several third-party guides list Yang on Hero Roulette. The structured database and current player corrections both place Sophia on the Gen 6 wheel and route Yang through Hero Rally, Daily Deals, and ranking events such as Strongest Governor. Event rotations still vary by kingdom, so confirm yours before committing general shards.

Questions to answer before investing
- Does Yang improve your Bear Hunt march under your current stars and widget?
- Can Sophia or Triton replace a completed hero in the mode you play most?
- Does the current event rotation in your kingdom match the listed acquisition route?
Shard commitment
A mythic hero needs 1,065 shards to reach 5 stars after unlock. Most heroes need about 10 additional shards to unlock, which makes the usual locked-to-5-star total 1,075. The 4-to-5-star step costs 600 shards.
Those costs do not prove that one hero is worth the investment. Your result still depends on role, current hero, gear, widget, and the next generation window.
