The Dark Champion is indeed the most useful. It was created as an antithesis to the Champion. It is too strong compared to the Champion. The only thing I like about the regular Champion is the horse. And even then, when it dies, the sound is cool. :)
Well, the Dark Champion belongs to the advanced units. And it cannot be bought in a fortress. If you compare each of the monsters in a ONE-on-ONE battle, that's one thing, but what does that have to do with usefulness? After all, usefulness implies the monster's usefulness in the game itself. For example, in offline mode, one of the most useful monsters is the Fairy, and with ambushing allowed, it can single-handedly defeat Dark Champions and even regular Champions :) even with a numerical advantage on their side. In online play, the Fairy is also undoubtedly useful; heroes level up quickly with them, there are many of them, and they are cheap, you can build chains, you can collect minerals, and they can easily defeat slow-moving neutral creatures, even in online mode, probably. Another plus is that Fairies can be summoned if you have the corresponding magic. So, based on these considerations, one of the most useful monsters is the Fairy :) And if you compare Champions and Dark Champions, if there is a spawning location near the Dark Champion, then, of course, at the beginning, the Dark Champion is more useful, even with just one Dark Champion, you can do a lot :) However, if the game is prolonged, then the regular Champion is more useful. In the end, they will overwhelm the Dark Champion with their sheer numbers, because usually, not many spawning locations are placed on the map, and if you also take into account that the Champions will also have external dwellings and, in addition, a couple of fortresses. This is a fruitful debate :) but, in my opinion, it's endless :)

I vote for the Vampire))) Who else?)))
:) Well, yes, it is one of the most versatile units ;) both in the early stages of the game and if the game is prolonged.

Maybe you could vote for two more units that you think are the best? Then the ranking might change! Because right now, the Djinn is in first place, but the Vampire is right behind him in second place!

it's more like a ranking of powerful creatures than useful ones (or cool combat skills))))
vampires are strong, but that's all... bone dragons with vampirism are much more useful, if you consider that aspect)))
because angels with resurrection are more useful (when a hero-mage is killed in the final battle, and he didn't have time to drink a healing potion a second time) or cyclops that attack everyone)) and those who cast slow spells and other spells)

Be strong. Believe

Vampires are strong, but that's all...
:) Yeah, that's true. Vampires are relatively quick to build, and you can get a good number of them. In the early game, even in small numbers, they are useful for developing the hero and the economy, which later allows you to get...

bone dragons with vampirism are much more useful if you consider this criterion))) because angels with resurrection (when you kill a mage hero in the final battle, and he doesn't have time to drink a healing potion a second time) or cyclops that shoot at everyone)) and those who cast slowing spells and other spells)
... everything you mentioned above :) Build dragons with vampirism, repel the spawning of angels or other tricky creatures that cast slowing spells and other spells, acquire artifacts, etc. For example, at the beginning of the game (in the first week), you have the "Sorrow" spell (this spell is indicated for online play; in offline mode, it won't be needed) and the "Slow" spell, and a few Vampires. You need to break through 50 Behemoths that guard something very valuable. You will do it. Replace the Vampire with a Dragon with vampirism (and where will you find such a wonder in the first week?) or an Angel. You won't be able to do it. Well, if you only replace the Vampire with a Fairy. However, the Vampire is better because a couple of Vampires can single-handedly defeat several dozen weak and fast creatures (like Imps) or weak archers.

after all, angels with resurrection (when a hero-mage is killed in the final battle, but doesn't have time to drink a second healing potion) or cyclops that attack everyone, and those who cast slow and other spells are also useful.
The most useful is the Hero))) Sorry, I didn't know I had to vote for the top three, besides the vampire, I also like water elementals, they are cool guys, they can take down anyone, and Medusas. So, in the end:
1. Vampire
2. Water Elemental
3. Medusa

P.S. I also like Djinns, but since they can catch up with vampires, I'm not voting for them.

For me, it seems a bit strange to determine the usefulness of a creature based on the final battle, although this is not entirely meaningless. But first of all, you need to think about development, and preferably fast development, otherwise you might not even reach the final battle in the sense that I understand it, if the opponent turns out to be more agile, I mean online, and in offline mode, there is also nothing to do without fast development of the economy or the hero.

Djinns are good a little later in the early game, when there are enough of them to summon a large number of illusions. Then, for battles, it is enough for the hero to take only Djinns and the Original for the illusion. Four slots with one Djinn each for "songs of peace" and in the fifth slot, put all the rest to copy illusions from the Original. And in the seventh slot, the Hero himself :)

Then, the hero only needs to take Djinn and the Original for the illusion with them into battles :). Four slots, one Djinn each, for the "songs of the world," and in the fifth slot, put all the rest to copy illusions from the Original. And in the seventh slot, the Hero himself :)
I hadn't thought of such a tactic; I'll have to try it when I get a computer. In general, Djinn and Water Elementals are the main opponents of vampires; they kill them very quickly.

Illusions are useless when you are against Death. The enemy hero knows "Dispel Magic" or "General Dispel Magic". And your Illusion will simply cease to exist. And it will be hard for your original. Regarding the main opponents of vampires: these are water elementals and djinn - I don't argue. These are creatures of the 3rd level. But regarding the 4th level, the conversation is different.

P.S. I would add the Mage and the Sorceress to the main enemies of the vampire.

Illusions are useless when you're up against death. The enemy hero likely knows "Dispel" or "Mass Dispel." And your Illusion will simply cease to exist.
But it all depends on how the battle unfolds and who you're playing against – a human or the AI. You can try to take down the Necromancer hero first and then wreak havoc on the battlefield. But this tactic might not work against a human player, although it's not impossible, especially if the original faction is Magic Dragons and your hero is also an Illusionist. For example. The popular map "Frail World" can be easily completed using this tactic.

That's what I wanted to prove... The third tier is the best!!! And Medusa is interesting; it's something new. She's not often mentioned. But she's useless against undead... and also seems useless against elementals. In the sense that poison doesn't affect them. But as a ranged attacker, she's definitely excellent, I agree.
