[edit] Strategy
To better understand the Kingdoms and contexts in which Hero appears, it may be useful to refer to the overall strategy section for this Traveller line.
As a terminal silver with a Treasure gaining effect, Hero is most often used as a stepping stone to Champion. However, it is sometimes a sufficiently useful card that it's worth acquiring a second copy that you can keep playing. Whether to do this depends largely on the strength of the available draw and the relative value of the cards Hero can gain. Strong draw enables your deck to handle gaining multiple Treasures, and Hero is a reasonably fast way to add payload once you can make use of this draw. Hero's available targets are particularly desirable when the alternatives for payload are weak or when the available Treasure options themselves are strong cards, for example Platinum, Horn of Plenty, or Crown.
In some cases, Champion may be skippable and obtaining a Hero may be the primary goal of your Page line. This is usually only the case if the Kingdom favors a money-based strategy, which is most likely to occur when there is no practical way to build towards scoring multiple Victory cards’ worth of per turn, either because the draw is weak or because the Kingdom lacks +Buy or other relevant sources of gains. Another important factor is how threatening any Attacks are, and occasionally you'll still prefer to advance Hero to Champion primarily for the attack immunity.
