I'm a big fan of the original fourth installment. Because I'm a conservative, stubborn, and old-fashioned person. And words like "Gargantua," "Dragon King," "Raging Bull" don't mean anything to me. In fact, introducing super-duper-cool, even cooler-than-the-coolest monsters into the game, in my opinion, is a bad feature of some expansions. In the third game, the same thing happened: good expansions with new monsters were released one after another, monsters that were equal in strength to the old ones, but with their own unique twist. And it all ended with the release of "In Wake of Gods" and "Life vs. Death," where completely unnecessary "Supreme Archangels," "Acid Hydras," "Super Titans" appeared – in short, level 8 monsters, incredibly strong compared to the "old ones," but not available for normal recruitment. Of course, Campaigns become much more interesting when they include such creatures – I'm not denying that. But, in my opinion, creating all sorts of super-monsters is a completely negative thing. It disrupts the balance, distorts the game, and ultimately brings nothing useful.
Specifically on the topic:
I voted for Black Dragons. Simply because Black Dragons are the strongest creatures in the game. If "best" means "powerful," then it's only Black Dragons. And if "best" meant "most useful," then there can be no definitive answer. In each specific situation, different monsters will be useful. Weak champions dominate on small maps, manticores allow you to defeat Black Dragons, magic dragons are the best casters in the game, titans are the best ranged attackers in the game. There are no useless units at level 4. Even the hydra has its uses – when playing as the Champion on resource-scarce maps. To take on tough neutral creatures, the Hydra is just the thing!
And if we're talking about playing against the AI, absolutely any unit is effective. Because our opponent is incredibly stupid.
Against which level 4 creature do I dislike playing the most? It's against Sea Serpents. Their truly hellish ability will make you think twice before sending Black Dragons into attack – huge, irreplaceable, and costly losses are guaranteed.
