Elon map kiting and impossible paladin 1 stack challenge

[ivra]

Is it smart to pick up Leadership flags and visit Experience locations in the very beginning of the game if maps are kited so that advanced islands can be visited? Say I visit Rusty Anchor directly after the initial 2 training battles and pick up a Leadership flag. Will the leadership given by the flag depend on my current level, or is it preset and will always give the same Leadership no matter what level I am? The same question applies to Experience locations. Do they depend on the current level of the hero? If leadership and experience is based on the current level of the hero they should be picked up as late as possible. On the other hand, if they are preset constant values it makes sense to pick them up early in the game to get a significant boost in the beginning of the game.
