Well for me once I reach a certain threshold past 100++ the diminishing returns on the XP makes me reluctant to level the hero much more.
I'd still use him as the point man in cracking those heavily fortified cities, and would transfer the items to him for doing so, but for butchering helpless weaklings I'll prefer to feed them to other units to level them up.
Gaining XP-wise attaching a great commander to increase the XP gained by 1 per combat really helps if you want to level units up. That said, once I hit 100 odd XP on my hero I usually transfer that commander to someone else to level him up.
Though back on the topic, you don't really need Brigit/Losha.
Against an AI, simply planting any high level hero with sufficient drill promos for first strikes in a newly captured city on the continent would be able to practically hold the city indefinitely. Its a much different scenario against a human rival in MP.
But well as for an overkill amount of 500XP, here's a simple hypothetical way to reach it pretty easily. Get a decent levelled War Chariot with Blitz. With its raw strength and first strikes it is unlikely to get scratched unless going up against the hardest of targets. Attach a great commander to it so it gains 2XP/combat. Once you reach mobility II and can kill 5 units a turn with blitz (you could even be massacring str 3 warriors), you'd get 10XP/turn with enough stuff to kill. But very very soon, you'd run out of useful promos to grab way before you hit 500XP, so... the point of continuing to do so? Bragging rights I suppose
