Posts from Which monster do you like the most in Heroes 5 (level 4)?

Mages rule, because, as my friend said, "He's reading from a script!":D

It's easiest to force archers to skip their turns using griffons. And the constant counterattack with decent damage is also good.

Vampires and demonesses – and the enemy doesn't resist:smile24:. Probably, in terms of strength, they are in first place.
Then come the druids. Although, no. They are like warlocks and shoot well. So, they are also in first place.
In second place are the Riders.
In third place – griffons.
I'm not writing about mages because I don't like them (but to deny their :smile41: strength would be STUPID).

Yes, the enemy isn't putting up much resistance, but I don't think a vampire hits harder than a griffin, and demonesses can take more damage from a single shot than from a "Heavenly Strike." Besides, the opponent might forget about these griffins.

Demonesses are great!!! And Dark Knights are optimal.

Moreover, the opponent might forget about these griffins.

I always remember them, especially when they take flight. I immediately move all my units to new locations.
And after that, the griffins generally pose no further threat.

And vampires drain blood. :smile44:

And skip a turn because of griffins? No, I'd rather lose some units, but cast a meteor shower instead. ;)

Well, I don't know... It all depends on the situation. You can move not everyone, but only those you really don't want to lose. After all, an air strike is really powerful (but I repeat, griffins aren't as useful anymore, especially the regular ones).

By the way, you can't always manage to escape; sometimes they attack before the archers' turn, if morale kicks in. :)
And sometimes the archers have nowhere to run, they are protected on all sides by other creatures. ;)

Yes, it happens. As soon as you attack someone, their stats immediately increase. That's why it's important to have high morale and luck (which I used to dismiss).
So, let's talk about regular griffons instead of royal ones.

And regular units don't really offer anything good... Do they have a constant retaliatory attack, or not? - I forgot. And the "Strike from Heaven" spell is very effective against archers, and besides, a griffin isn't a target that's usually attacked at the very beginning of a battle, meaning that even if it successfully attacks the archers, it flies away (even if not very far), and the opponent can spend their attack on someone else. And even if they attack the griffins, it's not a big deal; they'll fly up again and either prevent the archers from shooting or give them a good smack. Which, in my opinion, provides good opportunities for infantry and cavalry.

As for the other level 4 units, even if they aren't upgraded, they are still more valuable than griffins. They are a permanent asset, while griffins are practically useless. When I play as humans, I rarely raise them.

when playing as Haven, I don't want to buy griffins; it's better to spend the money on training...

Vampires are cool because they resurrect, especially when there are 500 of them. It would be even better if they had infinite retaliation. LOL.

I like Riders; they have a strong attack and are built quickly. And in general, they always beat the enemy if there are no Furies. So, they are needed to protect the archers.

Well, the opponent will target not just any unit, but the one they consider the most dangerous in your army, so I wouldn't consider this a plus for them, although riders are indeed quite strong.
