Cursed

crafting artifacts, in my opinion, is useless; the hero's special ability initially serves as an additional buff, and then becomes completely decorative (for example, in the Gluttony Trial - 20 units from legions of peasants? - it's not serious).

I agree about the artifacts (and Sandro's cloak is blocked) - all the others can be overcome anyway. But as for the buff, that's normal - when you kill a stack near the box, a thick hydra or another unit with a thick 4-cell rear (even in a quantity of 4) helps a lot to cover)))

I didn't get the joke. I performed the ritual and found myself in the form of a ball in some kind of place from which there is no way out. Moreover, I was robbed, and judging by the first level, I was also humiliated. I bumped into all the corners. What did I miss?
