Which monster do you like the most in Heroes 5 (level 4)?

but late-game riders aren't as useful.

You're wrong, Alucard, and shaddar is right – after the riders' attack, no unit can survive! And the Succubus has become a not-so-great unit! They have low initiative, so they'll be taken out before they can use their charm ability! I also didn't like the Battle Mages! Well, it's not really relevant, but I apologize!
