- Units in Heroes 3

Fairies. The sum of all stats and abilities is 22, which is less than only the Gremlins - 21.

There's a small note here... In assessing the ranking of Fairies, you don't take into account their ability to deliver a retaliatory strike, which can easily allow them to emerge from a battle with an opponent without any losses... So, Fairies are infinitely stronger than any non-shooting slow units (Gnomes, Dryads, Zombies, etc.)...

Determining the relative strength of monsters is pointless and unrewarding. The question is whether you know how to use the monsters' abilities or not... Everyone will have their own ranking, and it will be quite objective...

IMHO.
