They start at lvl 15 with the exception of Jin and Sousuke.

King pretty much sums it up.

To be fair, they should have changed the xp level to 15 of any "Basic Four" Hero that was attached to a non-Elonan character and was less than 15. They grandfather in changes in other circumstances, so why not for Hero level?

As far as I know (I haven't gotten all the heroes), heroes "join your party" as a quest reward. Not so "Battle Preparations." Once the heroes come aboard, you can't get rid of them even if you never completed "Battle Preparations" and even "abandoned" it.

It's all pretty strange. As it is, a non-Elonan never has to complete "Battle Preparations" to gain the Basic Four. Just talk to Kormir, return home, and go about your business. Just speculating now, but I could imagine low-level non-Elonans gaining four Lvl 15 bodyguards that way. An unfortunate exploit, if that turns out to be true.

ArenaNet really should fix all this. Make the updated heroes retroactive, where appropriate, and make their acquisition a reward for quest completion.

I remember 20 minutes of watching a level 2 Koss run into a group of plants in Marga Coast and getting clotheslined by the ele. "He's up... no wait... he's down... he's up... he's down". Funniest thing. Not as much fun to watch a higher level Koss do that. He doesn't die as much.
