Journey

I've played the map several times with different heroes. In my opinion, the Academy, specifically Timhan with his unique time-shifting ability, remains the strongest. He always goes first. Initially, he's not very powerful, but he quickly becomes a killing machine once he reaches his mentor. I maxed out his spellcasting skill, got the Sandro's Cloak, and built an army of around 400 mages, and he easily defeated the legion of mummies. In the hero's army, it's enough to have just one Gremlin. We use hypnosis, and then hypnosis on another if they are close, and we eliminate one mummy squad with another, and when only one remains, we use phantom squad and hypnosis on this phantom, and then we eliminate the main squad with this phantom.
The second strongest hero, in my opinion, is ORA because she moves very quickly, and for a mage with maxed-out spellcasting, this is a huge advantage.
