A lot of players often wonder when they should replace their Archer heroes (in a march or rally) with the newer generation heroes in Kingshot, especially at what star level it makes sense.
So, I’m doing a 3-part guide to help with that — covering when to replace your Archer, Infantry, and Cavalry heroes.
Keep in mind, star level isn’t the only thing you should look at when deciding to replace your main march hero. For example, Jaeger from Gen 3 has better stats than Marlin from Gen 2, but Marlin is still considered better for Attack Rallies because his widget skill is focused on attacks, while Jaeger’s widget skill is more for Garrison.
Note: This list applies to expedition stats only.

Is this assuming you have the replacing hero maxed at 5*?
Yes, it assumes that the hero being replaced is at 5-stars.
This applies only to Expedition? For Arena we keep Amadeus and Zoe, Petra, Saul and Marlin? In time: There’s a Guide for Arena?
Yes, this list is for Expedition. Arena works differently — you can use multiple heroes of the same type together there.
