You should have used those 1500 gems that you spent on 150 blue medals to upgrade your talents and equipment.
The gain from stars is quite less compared to what you could have gotten had you upgraded your gear and talents instead.

High star levels are what you could say as "icing on the cake", instead of the cake's filling itself.

Having a high star hero doesn't guarantee success in any way.
Having a high star hero paired with excellent gear, runes and talents gives one a good chance of success.
