Sylvan

Findan More a poet and diplomat by taste and training than a warrior, Findan is less comfortable than many of his brethren in fighting at close quarters with a sword. He vastly prefers to strike quickly, and strike hard, but from a distance. His favorite tactic is to first weaken the enemy with a rain of well-aimed arrows.

Alaron All Elves worship the ideal of Harmony; Alaron did so to the point that he even viewed his enemies as necessary and worthy. While this could be a good philosophy on a cosmic scale, it causes great difficulty when a leader of troops has a tendency to forgive and let live attacking troops. Understanding the political necessity of destroying others for the preservation of his realm, Alaron nevertheless avoids those moments whenever possible.

Gilraen Grim and highly sensitive to questions of honor, Gilraen has studied long and hard in the styles of Elven fencing. He has become a renowned master of blades, and is an exacting teacher of the Battledance art. His precision, discipline, and intensity are shared by his troops as well; when he leads an army into battle the fighters owe much to the hours of training that they receive.

Ylthin
Hunted by a party of Dark Elf slavers at a tender age, Ylthin was saved from that gruesome fate by an avenging unicorn. Since that day she has worshipped those mysterious dwellers of the wood, and has dedicated her life to working with them. No one understands them better than Ylthin, and her knowledge enables her to use the unicorns’ swiftness and might in the most efficient way in battle.

Anwen
Anwen defends the woods and their flora and fauna with a zeal remarkable even by Elven standards. Self-exiled in the trackless forests of Irollan, she cares deeply for them and has become their recognized protector. Woe be to the foe who would damage the forest or those who protect it -- when Anwen is summoned to war the Goddess Sylanna fights by her side, and her wrath falls like a storm upon those who would injure that which she loves.

Dirael
Hovering wasps, circling hornets, busy honeybees -- from childhood Dirael found these tiny flying creatures beautiful and fascinating, like precious buzzing jewels. She was so enamored that she became a Druid, to better delve into their lore and understand their mysteries. Eventually she responded to the call of the Harmony and went to war, and now she serves Sylanna by summoning hordes of her favorite creatures to sting and harass the enemy.

Ossir
Ossir is an experienced tracker and a prodigy with the bow; arguably the best shot in a nation famed for its talents in archery The respect he commands made him a natural choice when King Alaron was looking for officers, though Ossir would have preferred to remain in his beloved forests. All doubts were dispelled after his first battle, however, as his troops clearly benefited from his leadership.

Talanar
Talanar was the only survivor of one of the brutal attacks on The Day of the Tears of Fire. Seeing hundreds of his kinsmen die staggered the young warrior and filled him with an insatiable rage that returns whenever he sees his brethren fall in battle. His zeal for revenge is so great that it passes to those who are near him; the greater the losses suffered by his troops, the fiercer they become.

Vinrael
Vinrael has two attributes that make him valuable to the Elves – he is unusually observant, and he has seen more hours of battle than any other Sylvan warrior. His keen eyes, and those of his falcons, rove constantly before, during, and after a battle, studying all the elements of troops, tactics, and terrain. Analyzing both his own and the enemy’s actions, he learns enormously from both sides' successes and errors.

Wyngaal
Wyngaal started his life as a scout and hunter, but anger against those who would upset the Sylvan Harmony turned him into a warrior. He relies heavily on the knowledge of his early years, however, and is ever pondering pitfalls, traps, and surprises. Any enemy troops that face Wyngaal and his forces are unlikely to get the upper hand, as Wyngaal's alertness and experience give him a definitive edge.

Findan Findan is more of a poet and diplomat by nature and education than a warrior, so he finds it more difficult than most of his other brothers to fight the enemy face to face with a sword. He largely prefers swift and powerful attacks, but from a distance. His favorite tactic is to first weaken the enemy by unleashing a hail of accurate arrows.

Alaron All elves worship the ideal of Harmony; Alaron, in his religious fervor, has gone so far as to even begin to perceive his enemies as something necessary and worthy of respect. Perhaps, on a cosmic scale, this philosophy is correct, but it creates significant difficulties when the commander of an army is inclined to forgive and leaves enemy troops alive. Nevertheless, Alaron tries to avoid such situations as much as possible, understanding the political necessity of destroying others in order to preserve his own lands.

Gilraen Gilraen is gloomy and extremely meticulous about matters of honor. He studied the art of elven swordsmanship for a long time and diligently. He became a recognized master of the blade and a thorough teacher of the art of combat dance. His pedantry, discipline, and energy are also passed on to his troops; when he leads an army into battle, his soldiers greatly benefit from prolonged military training.

Ylthin
When a detachment of dark elves pursued the very young Ylthin, she was saved from a sad fate by a unicorn, which sought to avenge her enemies. Since then, she has adored these mysterious forest dwellers and has devoted her life to working with them. No one understands them better than Ylthin, and her knowledge allows her to use the speed and strength of unicorns in battle with maximum efficiency.

Heroes of the Duel Server

The Forest faction on the UBI.COM duel server is represented by Ossir, Anwen, and Dyraell.

Ossir



Attack — 7
Defense — 12
Spell Power — 5
Knowledge — 7
Morale — 1
Luck — 3
Mana — 20

Hero's Special Ability:

Skilled Hunter: All Elven Archers and Bowmasters in the hero's army gain 1 point to their attack and defense for every 2 levels of the hero, starting from level one.

Skills:

Trained Avenger, Permanent Luck, Skilled Attack, Skilled Magic Resistance, Deadly Shot, Arrow Rain, Magical Resistance, Soldierly Luck, Elven Luck, Archery, Tactics.

Spellbook:

Slow, Destructive Ray, Magic Bolt, Ice Bolt, Haste, Divine Shield, Stone Skin, Dispel, Reprisal, Dodge, Teleport, Fire Trap.

Artifacts

Armor of Forgotten Hero – adds +2 to the hero’s primary stats and grants the hero’s army 20% magic resistance.

Ring of Dragon Eye – +1 to all of the hero's characteristics and +10% to the initiative of all archers in the hero's army.

Necklace of Bravery – +1 to the hero's morale.

Bow of Unicorn Horn – All archers in the hero's army shoot equally well at any distance.

Army

Ancient Ent — 16

Dryad — 90

Death Dancer — 60

Bowmaster — 80 :)

Silver Unicorn — 30

Grand Druid — 30


Ossir is one of the best heroes on the duel server. Just look at his army and skills. 80 Bowmasters are such a powerful force that, if luck triggers on both shots, you can kill 25 Death Knights with a single attack! Thanks to the Bow of Unicorn Horn, Ossir’s archers shoot equally well at any distance - they don't care how far away the enemy is. 30 Silver Unicorns, granting magical protection to everyone around them, combined with the fact that Ossir himself has good magic resistance, means that magic is ineffective against his troops.

He does have some magic spells, but not combat ones. One of the best spells is Teleport, which allows him to either move the archers out of danger or send in the tough Ancient Ents into battle.

Conclusion: Ossir rightfully deserves to be considered one of the strongest heroes. However, he won't show much potential in unskilled hands; skill in playing as Ossir comes with experience.

In his spellbook, Ossir has "Teleport". This makes it possible to teleport ents to enemy archers.

Remember that unicorns provide good magic protection to surrounding creatures, but this protection is useless against Sinister.

Army

Dryads — 300

Death Knight — 20 :D

Marksman — 40

Archdruid — 40

Druid — 40

Silver Unicorn — 30

Emerald Dragon — 10 :rolleyes:



Dirael specializes in summoning magic and, in addition to summoned creatures, has a decent army. In total, 120 archers and 10 dragons. Dragons, by the way, due to their high initiative, go first, which significantly affects the enemy army, as they attack two cells at a time. Thanks to her expert enchantment, Dirael gets a turn more often and can summon a huge number of creatures onto the battlefield. Just think of a phoenix or a phantom of 10 dragons! Dirael can also strike with combat magic or enchant arrows, albeit not very strongly. The elf is very popular among players. However, she lacks luck and troop morale.

Conclusion: a hero of average level with low attack stats, but with great possibilities in summoning magic.

Anwen is perhaps the most specialized warrior, as she can only fight sworn enemies; otherwise, her army will be destroyed faster than she can pray to the forest gods. Anwen is capable of defeating the Dark Elves — most of her sworn enemies are them.

Conclusion: created specifically for Snowball :D
