Keep Amadeus for Bear — Rally Leader at the selected builds.
The recommendation uses the selected skill-aware Bear role. The progression-only model remains below as a diagnostic baseline.

Live build comparison
Test Your Amadeus vs Zoe
Choose both builds and run the canonical Kingshot Intel paired Bear model.
Practical transition default: the established hero starts at 5★, skills 5/5/5 and EG5; the incoming hero starts at 4★, skills 5/5/5 and EG2. Equal investment is calculated separately.
Simulation boundary: This runs the Kingshot Intel simulation—not a remote Kingshot server battle. Chance effects are evaluated attack by attack and periodic skills follow their recorded cadence. Effects without a supported cadence stay excluded. Rally Leader uses supported Exclusive Gear data; Rally Joiner ignores Exclusive Gear and uses Expedition skills only.

Simulation methodology
Transparent assumptions
Paired simulation
- Paired normalized scenario: 100,000 Infantry units at TG5.
- Account Attack, Lethality, normal hero gear, rally buffs and supporting-troop damage are held at zero.
- Both heroes use the same centrally versioned set of 128 paired scenario seeds.
- Skills are executed at the selected level for both heroes under the Bear — Rally Leader role rule.
- Rally Leader executes supported Expedition and other hero skills plus supported Bear-applicable Exclusive Gear stats and validated EG skill effects; direct Attack buffs are evaluated in their active damage window.
128 reproducible paired simulations are evaluated for each result.
