Stars affect on heroes

[Rocco]

We have a thread on medals that give us the average number of medals to get to a certain star level, but has anyone measured the benefit of stars? It seems to me the medals guide is part one. The next step should be to get an idea of how much actual benefit you receive for those medals.

For example, upgrading Pompey from 7 to 8 stars gives 16 Command and that translates to 151 extra physical atk and 106 physical defense (for me anyways). Similar amounts for the other stats. Testing attack damage also indicates the stars don't give any hidden damage benefits. Pretty paltry, but every bit counts, i guess.

I can make a guide or table about this, but Morgan always moves or edits any useful info I post. So I guess its futile to make a thread about it.

Basically, 0 going to 9 stars, you won't feel it much. I'd say around 5-10% increase in overall effectiveness.
9 stars onward is the real deal.

For example, From 12 to 15 stars alone, you get almost double stats increases in cmd, str, int.
Another example is the damage from 9-15 stars. You gain almost +6-7k damage for a cmd-based gold hero.

Yes, that's great info. Thanks Herby.

Because there is already a medal guide and no need for umpteen threads, it confuses people. You are welcome to PM anytime if you have any questions, really. No need to make sardonic remarks.

However, thank you helping the OP out I'm sure they appreciate it.
