Discussion about Sylvan (Wood Elves).

Don't underestimate Dyraelle. After her Wasp Swarm, her sworn enemies will barely be able to move.

Exactly! She's really great, but you should only choose her if you're not playing against Necromancers. She's very strong against all other factions. And she has a good starting position, especially if you get the Amulet of the Elements as a starting artifact (which happens often), because Dyraelle can quickly get Fire Elementals, and with them, clearing out archers and strong infantry becomes much easier (and if you manage to get a trap, it's even better).

In general, all of Sylvan's heroes are excellent. For example, Talanar is simply an ideal secondary hero for increasing growth, bringing in an additional 250 gold per day after a couple of treasure chests, and he comes with a Ballista and can bring 40-50 Dancers at the end of the game before the final battle (a great feature, right?)! And you say Lordset has bad heroes. No, Sylvan's heroes are the best of all! Actually, I've come to appreciate Dancers a lot lately. At first, I thought that Nymphs were more important in the endgame, as they attack without retaliation, and Ents heal, but they get taken out very quickly by the enemy after a couple of turns, they don't last long. But Dancers with their defense are beasts! A key unit in the final battle for destroying enemy units up to level 6. If you remove retaliation, you can even take out level 7 units. And considering that you can get about 80-100 of them for free, upgrade Battle Frenzy and Vengeance, you get a super monster. And if you take Gilraen, I don't even need to say anything.

And take Ilfina, for example, she's also an excellent hero! Unicorns are a key unit for the Elves, you can upgrade a tent to break through archers without losses, and she has an important spell to remove enchantments against Necromancers right away.

Well, Ossir is obviously a great hero too, I won't even go into detail. In the final battle, use Antimagic on the archers, block them with Ents, and say hello to all the mages.
