Your favorite hero... Auto-translated

I understand that myself; I once fought against such a hero, and his ballista annoyed me, so I had to destroy it, otherwise it would deal more damage than the creatures. Now, I want to upgrade the ballista for Talanar; let's see how 4 shots with fire and enchanted shot will work!:smile08:

It will work great! And if the magic is decent, like Expert Chaos Magic, then 4 Earth Shocks will be devastating! Although, you could also try Sorrow with a Disintegrating Ray. And what about the Ring of Cold with the Lord of Cold + the Amulet of Frozen Embrace?
By the way, does the "Arch-Enemy" ability apply to the ballista?

By the way, does Cursed Enemy apply to a Ballista?

Yes, if you do everything right, it will be a real powerhouse:smile51:
P.S.: You've got something mixed up, you can't enchant a Ballista with a Ring of Cold:)
P.P.S.: I don't remember, I'll remember and let you know:D

By the way, does the "Cursed Enemy" spell affect ballistas?

It seems like "Cursed Enemy" only affects living creatures. Or dead ones:D In short, it affects units.

The best heroes in my opinion:
Barbarian - Haggeesh
Demon Lord - Daleb
Knight - Iris
Necromancer - Kaspar
Ranger - Ossir
Wizard - Nurah
Warlock - Sorgal
In general, each hero has their own advantages and disadvantages.

It's interesting how you'd turn a ballista into your sworn enemy. Don't write nonsense. You'll need to undo two weeks' worth of ballista production. A fiery Warlock definitely wasn't a good choice. Yes, he's cool, but there are much better options. Synitar, for example. I agree with Ossir and Deleb. Is Iris the one whose regular griffons can deal an attack? It's better to take Dugal or Axel. For a Mage, Jalib, maybe Ora. If you want something unusual, Razak. As you can see, the best Academy heroes are all represented in the duel. For Necropolis, Deidra. Banshee's Cry becomes very powerful at a certain point. And it's free. I recently played and was surprised. Dog, I'm curious why you think Nibros is the best, just because he appears in one scenario as an uber hero from the Dungeon? He's terrible. +1 luck is not much, and blocking tactics is just nonsense. Of course, all of this is just my opinion. There is no "best" hero – there are only favorites, depending on your mood, just like the ones this topic is about.

I just wrote about which factions I choose most often. This is my personal opinion, and everyone has different preferences.

Among the demons, Deleb with his infernal ballista is the best. He is especially helpful at the beginning of the game!

I like Ilfina; I always play as Sylvan Elves and always take her. Once you gather more unicorns and level up the hero, they crush everyone. And the unique unit and tent in the beginning are just great. Besides, Ilfina levels up Light, so this girl is made to lead the charge with regular and alternate unicorn upgrades and sweep everything in her path. Although Ossir and Faydaen with their archers are also good; archers are my weakness... But unicorns are just tanks, especially with a bunch of blessings.

And in my campaign (in the last mission for the Necromancer), Orlando took down 16 liches with a single shot from his ballista (with a lucky shot, he killed 36). And he did that 4 times. Deleb is just relaxing.

As far as I know, in Tribes of the East, Deleb doesn't give a significant advantage at the beginning, unlike the first two parts of Heroes of Might and Magic V.

It’s interesting why. And Orlando really went wild. After the battle, I only had about fifty liches left.

If the question "why" was directed at me, then the decision was made to reduce the damage of the Fireball spell. Deleeb's Fireball, I believe, now deals only 1 damage up to level 6. Unless I'm mistaken...

Just one?! Where did you get that grass from? I'm going to test it right now.

Exactly 1! Then the Iron Maiden "heats up" and starts burning!

:((((((((((
yes, I checked too=(
why did they have to do this to us? What kind of scumbag move was that by Nival? Inferno already has no overpowered units and is difficult to fight with and clear the map, and now this... when the Iron Maiden starts shooting, it might already be too late. And to get the desired level 6, after which the ballista upgrade will begin, you still have to fight something else. All that remains is a simple ballista attack, spells, and hero attacks. And all these cunning tricks and manipulations with portals and a bunch of stacks of single units.
