Posts from Which artifacts are best to equip a hero with?

It seems that everything has already been said and discussed. But we forgot about the items that the hero carries with him. So, what equipment is most suitable for a particular hero?

I prefer books to shields.

Some books offer good protection, but you only get 1-2, and that's it. By the way, take a look at your hero at the end of a long scenario; he's dressed LIKE A CLOWN! Power helmet, Amulet of Life, regeneration armor, Boots of Lava, a cloak with stars, and also a book and a maul, and a bow on his back.

Any will do. The main thing is that the hero knows this magic. In general, mixed sets are the best (Traveler's Book, Apprentice's Book, Adept's Book, Archmage's Book, Guild Compendium, Demonology). Or, instead of a book, you can use a staff. That's also a decent alternative. For example, the Summoning Staff enhances summoning (it seems to be by 15%, but correct me if I'm wrong).

Assemblers are only good for Archmages; for heroes with one or two spells, it's a waste of a slot, in my opinion. As for staves, only the one that gives a 20% bonus to resurrection fully justifies the two slots it occupies; all the others are only occasionally useful.

In the upcoming storm, some combinations only appear occasionally, some are useless, and some are powerful.

But why? There are conditional combinations, for example, equipping only artifacts of morality (if there is an alternative) - this is Murrell's Helmet, Brew, and Cross of Valor.
