Which Haven heroes do you prefer?

Dugal levels up quickly and easily at the beginning (the upgrade is divided into 2-3 stacks and can be closed with swordsmen), and is better against Orcs than Laslo due to his readiness (as mentioned above, and also because he can quickly upgrade Cursed Lands) and because archers die quickly under the fury of the horde and centaurs.

By the way, considering that peasants are not taken into battle, archers can be divided into two stacks for the final battle, so that, for example, the Necromancer doesn't paralyze the entire squad at once.
