Ereb! I play Hafiz not because he's a machinist!!! You don't even need to take a ballista! You can level up through Machine Might! On long maps, you can level up Support Magic (since machines are needed for it). On the contrary, I like Hafiz because he can also be an anti-machine hero (In Heroes 3, I love to crush Deleb with her ballista and Kaspar :smile08:). The thing is, he has excellent units - probably the best (although the warriors are also powerful!!!). Look at version 3.0; they have a wonderful 3rd-tier upgrade!!! He can disable golems as many times as he wants!!!:eek: You're just underestimating Hafiz! Even if you don't use him as your main hero, he's a dream secondary hero. You can put him in at the very beginning and capture any other hero from the Academy!!! He's the best hero in the game:rolleyes::smile49:
