=== Choosing a good primary (main) hero === * A good main hero should be good in battle, and some heroes are equipped with unnecessary secondary skills like [[Eagle Eye]] and [[Learning]]. Avoid them. [[Archery]], [[Offense]] or [[Armorer]] are much better. * Might heroes are better with big armies than magic heroes. Every point in [[Attack]] and [[Defense]] is useful for every creature, while too much [[Spell Power]] or too much [[Knowledge]] can be of limited use. Sometimes you need a simple spell more than very advanced spells, that need much more power and knowledge to be effective. * Heroes that can be better with each level are better than ones that do not benefit much from having a lot of experience. [[Crag Hack]], [[Mephala]] or [[Malekith]] are better and better with each level, while also combining their specialty with specific primary skills. * Good hero can move fast. Someone with [[Logistics]] (or [[Navigation]] on water maps) is much better than slow heroes. Not only can fast heroes collect more resources, they also gain experience faster. So, [[Gunnar]] or [[Kyrre]] are good options. * [[Estates]], [[Scholar]], and other similar skills are useful, but normally the main hero does not have enough skill slots to have room for them. There are simply more important skills needed for those slots. * No magic skills? Not good. Try to obtain at least one or two. Your main hero shouldn't have all four though since there will be not enough slots for other important skills. * Some [[Secondary Skills]] are great in combination. For example, if you like to use the spell [[Chain Lightning]], the combination of [[Air Magic]], [[Sorcery]] and [[Wisdom]] is very powerful. Adding [[Intelligence]] can improve it even more. * Some heroes start with a lot of creatures. With heroes that have unit tier 1, 2, or 3 specializations, you can clear mine defenders easier. However, choose units that you will use in the final phases of the game as well. * There are a lot of good heroes and bad heroes. Use the forums and Wiki to know more about them. * Find your build. Different towns need different heroes, but some of the heroes are great in any town, while others are usable only in one town. For example, [[Valeska]] is only good in [[Castle]] towns, while [[Orrin]] is good in every town - and even better in towns with more ranged units - or when using archers from multiple towns. Having [[Marksmen]], [[Magi]], [[Zealot]]s and [[Titans]] in one army is great for this hero. * Choose your hero based on the map. For example, are you playing on a map with lots of snow or swamp? If so, consider a hero with [[Pathfinding]]. * Some magic heroes are great in the hands of a skilled player. Some examples include [[Eovacius]] {{withhota}}, [[Thant]], and [[Jeddite]]. * Overall, [[Overlords]] and [[Barbarians]] are among the stronger heroes, while [[Planeswalkers]] and [[Alchemists]] are among the weaker heroes. Some of the best primary heroes: [[Orrin]], [[Mephala]], [[Crag Hack]], [[Gunnar]], [[Dessa]], and [[Tazar]].
