Sorry I'm not great with putting tables in a post; also someone else will have to verify the numbers, since I'm still working on getting a hero high enough to make instant warriors.

But as you can see, adding an Excalibur makes instant troops much more attainable.

HTH
Its the attack lv, not the hero lv that counts in this. Plus you forgot to state the base lv of your hero. Not that it matters!
