Replacement worksheet
There is no universal replacement star.
A replacement decision compares the hero you can finish with the hero you already built. Power, star level, widgets, troop gear, and game mode all matter.
Scope: This page provides a cost worksheet. Current evidence does not support one replacement threshold for every hero and mode.

| 4 stars to 5 stars | 600 | The final star step |
