Every Mythic hero, grouped by the generation they arrive with, and roughly when each generation reaches a state.

**TL;DR:** A new generation lands about every **80 days** of server age. Know when the next one is due and save shards for it rather than finishing heroes you’re about to replace.

## Key facts

- **New generation:** About every 80 days
- **Gen 2 arrives:** Around server day 40
- **Newest listed:** Gen 16
- **Per generation:** 1 Infantry, 1 Lancer, 1 Marksman

## Roster and release timing

| Gen | Infantry | Lancer | Marksman | ~Server day |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Gen 1 | Jeronimo · Natalia | Molly | Zinman | 0 |
| Gen 2 | Flint | Philly | Alonso | 40 |
| Gen 3 | Logan | Mia | Greg | 120 |
| Gen 4 | Ahmose | Reina | Lynn | 195–200 |
| Gen 5 | Hector | Norah | Gwen | 270–280 |
| Gen 6 | Wu Ming | Renee | Wayne | 360 |
| Gen 7 | Edith | Gordon | Bradley | 440 |
| Gen 8 | Gatot | Sonya | Hendrik | 520 |
| Gen 9 | Magnus | Fred | Xura | ~600 |
| Gen 10 | Gregory | Freya | Blanchette | ~680–700 |
| Gen 11 | Eleonora | Lloyd | Rufus | ~760–800 |
| Gen 12 | Hervor | Karol | Ligeia | ~840–870 |
| Gen 13 | Gisela | Flora | Vulcanus | ~920–950 |
| Gen 14 | Elif | Dominic | Cara | Not yet documented |
| Gen 15 | Hank | Estrella | Viveca | Not yet documented |
| Gen 16 | Seigel | Ursar | Aisling | Not yet documented |

Note: Roster per two community hero databases (October 2026); one other site lists Vulcanus as Infantry. Release days come from community server timelines, which disagree by a few weeks for later generations, so ranges are shown. Your state’s exact dates can differ.

## Planning around releases

- Count your **server age**. If the next generation is a few weeks out, stop pushing stars on heroes it will replace.
- Save **general Mythic shards** for the new generation’s heroes, especially the troop type you rely on most.
- **Jeronimo** stays relevant as a rally captain through every generation, so shards spent on him are rarely wasted.
- Newer generations usually outclass older ones, but a well-built older hero beats a barely built new one.

## Where Mythic shards come from

- The **Lucky Wheel** is the main free path to Mythic shards. One free-to-play guide notes only one hero per generation appears there.
- [King of Icefield](https://wos.sheet.guide/guides/events/king-of-icefield.md) **Medals of Honor** buy shards for a seasonal hero.
- Events, the alliance shop, recruitment and daily Exploration all add shards over time.

## Shards per star (approximate)

| Star | Shards to complete |
| --- | --- |
| ★ | ~10 |
| ★★ | ~40 |
| ★★★ | ~115 |
| ★★★★ | ~300 |
| ★★★★★ | ~600 |

Note: From one community guide. Finish one hero’s next star before starting another, and concentrate on 5–6 key heroes.
