In your opinion, which faction is the strongest in Heroes 5? Let's discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each faction.

I think that Warlocks are stronger,
Assassins shoot and poison
Furies – no comment
Minotaurs – 2 attacks, bravery
Riders – lizard bite, defense reduction
Hydras – Regeneration, attacks everyone at once, and they are powerful themselves
Shadow Lords – cast spells and shoot
Dragons – As far as I know, they are one of the strongest 7th-level creatures
+ in addition, Warlocks have excellent "relations" with the magic of chaos.
that is, in principle, if you have witchcraft, knowledge, wizard luck, arcane wave, and some kind of earth shock, you don't need anything else for happiness:rolleyes:

1. Assassins poison, but the damage of the poison is proportional to the number of units, and their growth is very small, and on a large map, there will be no advantage, only a waste.
2. Furies are strong, there is no doubt, but who do we want to kill first, isn't it them? ))
3. Minotaurs – 2 attacks, this is not bad, but often it does not give the desired effect because the only ones they can attack during their turn will be some enraged paladin who has just destroyed beasts, and 3rd level against 6th level and with a double attack will not cope.
4. Riders – in fact, a squad is needed to block someone and distract them for as long as possible, so they usually die one of the first.
5. Hydras are generally a ridiculous creature, in a normal battle, with pumped-up heroes, normal artifacts, spells, etc., hydras will be able to move for the first time when all the creatures have already moved 1-2 times. But hydras always remain until the very end.
6. Witches – I won't say anything particularly bad about them, because they are very dangerous shooters, and it is not easy to deal with them. Well, that's why they are 6th level, to make it more difficult.:))
7. Dragons – there will be no complaints about dragons either.

In the end, there are really only 2 combat units out of 7, not much.

And we can be saved from some kind of earth shock by a dwarf cuirass + reflection + magic resistance, and so on. And if you manage to collect the entire dwarf set, then this is generally great.
