The battles with the outpost and the necromancer guard aren't the most difficult – the enemy doesn't have a hero. Moreover, the faster you break through the outpost itself, the easier it will be overall. However, there seems to be some kind of bug with the necromancers – or rather, not a bug: they somehow noticed and actively destroyed the crystals of secrecy, even though I placed them correctly; I don't know why. But you can also win that battle with brute force – which is what I ended up doing.
The last battle on the map is relatively easy – fighting a weak human with your upgraded human isn't that hard.
I think the most difficult battles are the fight with the Guardian before the nerf – without Darkness, it's impossible; he has huge resistance. And yes, the fight with Helmar requires you to try and win without losses.
