Posts from How do I use Armageddon's Blade?

Dear Experts, please share in what situations is the Armageddon spell useful? When can it be used to your advantage? I don't understand it at all... :(

As far as I remember, Armageddon doesn't affect black dragons. Therefore, the conclusion is: only recruit them and then start casting spells.

What about the irresistible magic of a Warlock? Black Dragons will still take damage. Even if not at full strength.

For example: you see that the opponent's dog is clearly winning and is about to reach your castle, and it's obviously not a good idea to run away with your hero. Then, simply and without hesitation, use Armageddon on your own troops so that you don't die alone, and then, before defeating this enemy, run away and revive in the city, buying a new army. This will give you a slightly better chance of winning. But it's not a guarantee that this operation will succeed. He might kill you before you can escape, and you'll lose a good hero. So, it's all up to you, based on your fear and risk tolerance.

When playing as mages, take golems, craft mini-artifacts for them (magic resistance), or find an artifact that reduces fire damage, and go for it!!!

In addition to golems, there are obsidian gargoyles that are immune to Armageddon. And the new golems actually heal from it.
Black dragons can be used not only when playing as Dungeon.
Gnomes have dragons that are immune.
There is also an ability in Haven that provides fire resistance; you can create some good combos with it.
You can train Czechs through mentorship for Dungeon and harass with Armageddon.
You can think of even more possibilities – this is just off the top of my head.

You buy upgraded griffons, and when they take to the skies, they don't harm your own units and deal death to the enemy.

Personally, I would use Armageddon when playing as Dwarves. You still have magma dragons, so use Armageddon on them – it won't do any damage anyway! Besides, Patriarchs and Fire Gods are immune to fire.

You can also improve magic resistance. If you take both abilities (on defense and luck), it will result in 30% magic resistance. And there's also the magic evasion ability, which is incredibly powerful. Level up these abilities, and Armageddon will have little effect on your army.

Also, in my opinion, it is beneficial to use Armageddon when your hero has only one stack of creatures in their army, while the opponent has all seven.

Why is it necessary to have only one stack? Simply put, when we are significantly weaker than the enemy hero in terms of army strength, it is more advantageous to use Armageddon to destroy both our own and the enemy's creatures (at least, part of them). Either way, they are destined for the same fate, but they can carry less with them. Alternatively, this is a way to end the battle, even if the situation is not in our favor; Armageddon decides. Sinister in a duel is a perfect example. Ending the battle with Armageddon in many tournaments is even counted as a "draw," but not as a victory for the Dark Elf.

One stack receives one dose of Armageddon, and 7 stacks receive 7 doses. Therefore, it is more beneficial for the one with 1 stack. In general, I have never used Armageddon in a game against the computer. I used it once in the final battle in HotS. I was playing as Waishan or Iranna (I like these heroes equally), and my friend was playing as Deleb. Several enhanced Armageddons, and nothing remained of the demons.

And what if the player has warriors with no magic resistance? This spell is for extreme situations; if there is resistance, use it to your advantage, but otherwise, it's the same as playing as demons and casting a holy spell against necromancers.

I had a friend who, once while playing HotS against me as Deleb, repeatedly used Armageddon against neutral creatures. :eek: I was playing as Vaishan or Irannon. Of course, he had no chance in the final. He didn't do that again. I was also almost a complete newbie in Heroes at that time, but I was still extremely surprised by his actions.

It's suitable for extreme situations. If Armageddon completely clears the battlefield, the winner is the one who cast Armageddon. He will be able to buy back his hero in the tavern.

and why didn't anyone mention that when playing as Dwarves, you can choose almost all creatures with fire resistance, meaning that only the first 4 levels of creatures will be missing from your army; you can simply not deploy them on the battlefield. In general, it's very effective if you combine Armageddon + Pyrokinesis. I've had cases where Griffons couldn't take off or fell from the sky; I don't remember exactly what happened, but they completely missed their aerial attack, 100%. Pyrokinesis is a powerful ability.
