Posts from Secondary skills in Heroes 3.

A hero at level 20 has almost 82,000 experience points, and a hero at level 21 has almost 98,000 experience points. If a hero has the "Learning" skill from level 1, their experience points at level 20 will increase by 15% compared to a hero without this skill, bringing the total to about 94,300. Therefore, the "Learning" skill doesn't even allow a hero to reach the next level by level 20.

They were definitely referring to Ciel with the arrow, Solmyr with the chain lightning, or Alagar with the ice lightning...

Therefore, the "Learning" skill will not allow a hero to reach the next level even one level earlier. The effect is simply that this hero will reach that level slightly sooner than their opponent, given an equal amount of XP gained during the game.

That’s exactly what I wanted to know; I don’t think the game is worth it. Wasting a slot just to potentially level up by one is too much of a waste.

That's exactly what I wanted to find out; in my opinion, the game isn't worth the effort. Wasting a slot just to possibly gain one level is too much of a waste.

And you won't even gain a level—it's a diminishing progression...

What I meant was – reaching the next level faster...

Absolutely correct. Sometimes, to complete a quest, you just need one more level, and you have to replay many turns, take this skill instead of another, more important one for the game, level up the hero for XP, and complete the quest possibly a week earlier than the opponent. And that's already a strategic advantage on the map. So, you can't categorically state the usefulness or uselessness... We're talking about offline mode.

And yet, I believe that in Heroes 3, despite its balance, the "learning" skill was treated somewhat harshly. The percentage could have been increased. After all, leveling up gives a lot: plus 1 to one of the four skills, plus an improvement to the specialization, plus a secondary skill or its improvement. Together, that's a lot.
As it is, the skill is very specific and is used in isolated cases.

So, it turns out that the skill is very specific and is only used in isolated cases.

Yes, there are situations where getting to the next level a bit earlier is critical.
For example, if that level grants you the EARTH EXPERT skill. This can significantly impact capturing conservatories (slowing down the process) and the time it takes to leave the starting area.

Hello everyone!
Regarding skills:
Mysticism and Eagle Eye are indeed...:smile18:
But each city has its own set of skills, and it would take too long to list them all:)
Some cities focus on attack or defense, or perhaps fire magic:rolleyes:
But the most valuable skills are Logistics and Pathfinding :)
